Have you ever trailered your Harley-Davidson a long distance, only to deal with a dead motorcycle battery once you're finally ready to ride?
Every season, we hear from riders who trailer to Daytona only to pull their Harley® out for its first cruise and their hear click click click
It's a pain many Harley® owners have suffered, but there’s a simple solution.
Here at Wilkins Harley-Davidson® we've written a how-to article so your bike is ready to go as soon as you are. Learn how to put your Harley® in transport mode and save your motorcycle's battery for your next ride.
Your Harley® has a feature called Transport Mode, and you should use it. When activated, it turns off your motorcycle's motion detection without disengaging the entire smart security system.
This allows you to travel with your bike without disabling the security system.
Just remember that trying to start the engine when your fob is out of range will still trigger the alarm.
For 2014-2016 models:
- With an assigned fob within range, turn the ignition switch to ingnition.
- Before the security system lamp goes out, turn the ignition switch to off.
- Within three seconds, simultaneously press both the left and the right turn signal switches.
- After the turn signals flash once, the system enters the transport mode. With the fob removed, the motorcycle can be moved without setting off the alarm. Meaning you can leave the bike in the trailer while at the hotel and not worry.
Exiting Transport Mode is even easier. To turn it off, make sure your assigned fob is within range, and turn your bike's ignition switch back to ignition. Boom! You're done.
If you ride a 2013 or earlier Harley-Davidson, engaging transport mode requires a different technique. Come visit Wilkins H-D® before your next trip and we will have one of our team show you!
