Just a friendly heads up

Nothing is built exactly the same.

[Still Grumpy]

Tell me if I'm wrong but doesn't the manual also have a section on how to retrieve your Code if forgotten..

I would figure this would be common knowledge in the criminal world so changing the pin from the factory setting would only be for one's own ease of remembering it rather than a security benefit...

Yes, but you need the FOB present.

[Q-Hog]

Yes, if you follow the procedures w/the Fob present like X said, your current number will be displayed. Once its displayed it will allow you to make any changes to the number or keep the current number.

Turn on the ignition and quickly press both turn signals. Then, using the left turn signal enter the first number of your PIN, then press the right turn signal, moving the cursor to the next digit. Continue this process through all 5 digits. If entered correctly, you can now start the bike"

Not true. I practice the procedure every few months, always bring it up off jiffy stand when I do with no problems.

Citykid, I find your predicament completely understandable. I ran into the same thing on a ride from Illinois to Florida. My own code problem cost me a $50 trip by a local cab service to search for my lost key fob at a not too far away fast food place which failed, then it cost me an extra night in a motel while my wife Fedexed my extra key from home. I got lucky and the place that I bought my bike was able to give me the code that they use on all of the bikes that they sell. That means that while I was waiting for my correct key I was able to use my bike to get to restaurants, but I could not add any gas to the tank during that time. It was a solution better than nothing but was far from ideal.
I now have my own code sequence and I have a generic barrel key on my car key ring that will let me refuel the bike. If I run into an issue today, my preps will let me finish any trip and refuel along the way. It may be a bit inconvenient to need to input the over-ride code at every stop, but it will get me home. At home there is always the spare dedicated key ring waiting.

I printed the instructions out and put it in my Tour Pack (without the Code) I also loaded the instructions in my smart phone.

In the owners manual there was a card sized info sheet on 'how to'. I didn't write my code on it but carry it with my insurance in my pocket.

Had some work done on the road once (new tire) and the mechanic dropped the fob when on the test run. Of course it got run over. He sure was in a panic when he couldn't restart the bike because the factory code had been changed.

Bottom line is make sure you change AND remember your code.
