If you have the key and FOB attached doesn't that somewhat lessen the security? If someone gets your key they also have the FOB.

 

Maybe so, but the keys are small so I would fear losing it if they weren't together. Fob is big so I always know it is in my pocket. Need the key to access gas tank.

 

That's why I keep my vehicle, scooters or truck or car, keys each on a separate ring with another FOB of some sort.

 

The second one stays at home. My other one is on a key chain with the key. I keep it in the windshield bag if I'm around the home area. If I stop any place the least bit dicey, or I'm going to be way out of site (like at a mall) it goes in my pocket!

in my pocket, that way when I walk away and bike is not in view then I know its not gona start for someone else, hence the word security.

 

Yea, didn't get an owners manual

 

The MoCo will happily sell you one....

 

The factory does not enter any security code on a new bike...It is all done at the dealership by who ever sets the bike up...There is no particular default code...It just depends on what the tech enters in the system when setting the bikes up...There is a way to find what code is in your bike if you have a working fob with you...But most people don't bother with it.

 

A couple of years ago I was out riding with a friend. Weather turned warm so we pulled over and took off our jackets.

I had my saddlebags on so he asked if I would carry his jacket in them - no problem.

As I pulled away I noticed he wasn't following me. His fob was in his jacket pocket on my bike, his bike wouldn't start.

Lesson learned, fob and key hang from clasp on wallet chain and into the front pocket.

When the wife and I go on rides that last several days, my spare fob is in her tour pack and hers is in mine. We make it a point not to park close together during the day and remove the fobs overnight.
