I dont have the flashing of the speedometer light every three seconds, nor the double flash of the turn signals when I turn the ignition off. I am able to change the pin. I cant find anything in the owners manual about activating the alarm. What am I missing?
Just a shot in the dark - does it start? When was the fob battery replaced ?I dont have the flashing of the speedometer light every three seconds, nor the double flash of the turn signals when I turn the ignition off.

Look here first, my first idea is a bad connection @ your ECM
Have you left the key fob in the house and gone out and shaken the trike, just to confirm if alarm is working or not?

I'm thinking if you never noticed it before that your system maybe de-activated in the ECM. If the it starts and runs without the FOB being close to it that should verify that. If the FOB needs to be within a few feet then I'm not sure what the issue maybe.

Trikes do not come from the factory with an ALARM. They come with a Security Feature where your FOB needs to be a certain distance from the cycle for it to work. The blinking lights mean it is working and looking for it's FOB. This is a constant drain on the battery requiring a "Tender" for long term storage without draining the battery.
YES H-D can easily re-program and disable the Security Feature allowing cycle to start with no FOB. My friend has it disabled on his 2016.
You can add an audible alarm (which I have done on my 2014) and I also have a pager that lets me know the alarm has gone off (it can also be set for a silent alarm on the bike with a pager notification).

BTW, which pager do you have? I have heard pros and cons to each.
Bob, the security system is not standard "methinks." My 16 does crank without the fob being anywhere near the trike.Trikes do not come from the factory with an ALARM.

Security is standard. The dealership took the Tech II and shut it off electronically. Similar to the way one can shut off the wi-fi feature on a cell phone. Have the dealer turn it back on. They should have done it before you took delivery. Shame on them for not doing so.
Thanks Mike!
Mikey, thanks for this info. In researching via internet I get conflicting info. One site lists the smart system as standard equipment, then lists it under optional equipment. Another dealer site lists the system as optional.:gah: I'll take your word for it and ask my dealer to turn it on for me. Thanks again! :Coffee:Security is standard.
