HarleyLight Sequence
Last week while driving north on I-75 toward Atlanta, I was passed by a pick-up pulling an open bed U-Haul trailer carrying a newer Harley (noted name on tank) as it passed by. The taillights would flash L-R-L-R 3 or 4 times then stop. About 10 seconds later they would flash again. I followed him for about 5-6 miles until he got lost in the traffic ahead and I had to turn for the airport. Did this have something to do with his alarm?

Yes... The bikes alarm was not in transport mode..Originally Posted by Rmitchell55
The rare times i trailer my Tri.. I just leave the FOB, In the trunk ' If you don't have the FOB near or in transport mode, And If the ride is long enough the bikes battery will go dead...

Yes it does. I would guess the battery was dead upon arrival. You can put the alarm in transport mode and it will not be doing that. Jim

Or the bike was just stolen. Just saying.
When I went to purchase mine in RI, brought a trailer to bring it home. Had the lights blinking and winking all the way. Being new and knowing it all, didn't have a clue as to what was going on

Sounds like the guy Mitchell is talking about might not have had a chance to read his owners manual yet. Wonder if he bought it used. For me reading the owners manual is part of the fun of buying a new bike.

Beware of liberals posing as Americans.
Real men don't read no stinken manual, Too many words in them and not enough pictures....
Manuals are to be used only' As a reference after you screw up....

My suggestion is if you can't set it in trailer mode or don't have the manual pull the big yellow main fuse on the right side of the fuse panel. My bikes and/or trike has never been in or on a trailer but that what's I suggest to people.
I pull mine every night when ever i'm on the road and staying at a motel or such.

Probably me reading it wrong, But why would you want to turn off the security/ignition cut off if your at a motel...

No, your not reading it wrong. I have 2 of the brake rotor alarm locks plus a pressure switched alarm under my seat. They All work independently from the bikes electrical system.Probably me reading it wrong, But why would you want to turn off the security/ignition cut off if your at a motel...
