    Default Security key fob-Do i need one?

    I recently Bought a 2017 Freehweeler and got three keys with it but no security key fob. Do i need one? Should i buy one and have it progrmaed? I didn't really pay attention until a few days ago. Thanks!

    So you start it with the PIN?

    No I just start it.. haven't used a pin or anything. That's why I am confused..I was talking to another owner about the pin and he told me to change it..but I never had to do anything to start it.

    I believe on the 2017's, the key fob security system was optional, though most models came with it from the factory. If you didn't get the fobs, it may not have it installed.

    Michael is correct If you do not have security you will have # 13 in this picture in place of # 8, both found on top of battery caddy

    So you can just turn the ignition on, start the bike and go???? Guessing you needy to lock the ignition every time you get off the bike??? Almost sounds like the PO hid a fob somewhere on the bike so he didn't need to carry it.

    If you have the security system....There should be a red blinking light on the speedometer ....And once the engine is started it will turn off.......

    My 2016 came without security/fob. Didn't want to lock with barrel key every time so had security installed.

    I agree & it's funny how you get by without something, but once you have it, you don't know how you did without it. I never cared about having cruise control, but now you couldn't pry it away from me.

    Good luck. I have found, as I've gotten older, I like certain convenience items.

    I don't lock the forks cause if I loose the key/fob, I can start it with the PIN code, but I can't unlock the forks. If I really feel the need, I have a disk lock I can use on the front brake disk.

    Since 2011 when i got my first Trike with a FOB...I have yet to carry a key with me....If i have to park somewhere and feel it necessary to lock the trunk and top box i doin't keep anything in them that will cost more than having to replace broken jimmied locks...The FOB got me into the habit of not carrying a key....When i had a Victory i made an invisible key, and never took it out of the ignition switch whenever i parked....With my Slingshot the key stays hidden on it...I even parked at Walmart without taken the key from my Machines...I never have to go fumbling for keys that way.....

    Remember, I am a blonde. Don't you need a key to unlock the disk lock?

    No , it's a heavy duty combination lock. Lola, you are a very smart blonde, that's why you ride a Freewheeler. You also chose the fastest color, very smart!

    my Wife's 2016 Freewheeler didn't come with the security system either so the only security is locking the ignition and/or forks.

    I put the security system on my Heritage so I'm accustom to not having to lock a bike up.

    The price tag of $360 plus Dealer programming makes me think carrying a key might not be that much of a PITA anyway
