Harley-Davidson’s first production motorcycle, the 1905 Model 1, was really nothing more than a bicycle with a motor mounted to its frame, but that primitive machine helped launch a company that is now the leading motorcycle manufacturer in the United States. Harley Davidson is now apublicly traded company with operations spread around the globe, but the company’s headquarters remain in the same Milwaukee, Wisconsin location where that first bike was built.
Harley’s2024 lineup includes more than a half-dozen cruisers, which represent the cutting edge of internal-combustion powered bikes. Harley also introduced theLivewire S2 Del Mar electric motorcyclelast year, with a price tag of just under $16,000 and a range of up to 113 miles. Modern Harleys have a suite of sophisticated electronic systems, from Bluetooth-ready infotainment panels to digitally controlled suspensions.
Many recent Harley models also have a key fob that arms and disarms the bike’s security system. Some fobs have buttons to perform these functions, while other hands-free fobs unlock your bike when you’re close enough to the security module. If your key fob stops working, follow these steps to reset it.
Harley key fobs take a 2032 coin-style battery
Your first troubleshooting step should be to replace your fob’s battery to ensure that it has enough power to communicate with your bike. Harley key fobs use a series 2032 battery, which you can buy fromAmazonor at most auto parts and hardware stores. Once you know your fob’s battery is good, proceed with the reset process. If your fob has a clickable button, that means you have a Turn Signal Security Module (TSSM). To reset the TSSM and pair your fob, begin by setting the kill switch to “off.”
The procedure for a buttonless fob is similar
If your key fob has no button, that means you have a Hands-Free Security Module (HFSM). The procedure for resetting this module is similar to the one for a TSSM, with a couple of important differences. Here’s how it works:
Make sure to do steps two through four quickly to enter the PIN setting sequence; you might have to repeat these steps if you’re not quite fast enough.
