    All great tips for those not knowing or needing a reminder. I do have one input, the engine stop switch (kill switch) should only be used in emergencies or to input the pin code.

    Thanks for the comment but that's wrong. You always use the kill switch when turning off the bike. Now I'm curious, how many people don't? 🤔 * Comment below * "Use" or "Don't" use the kill switch?

I have my own code set (I went back and found the fob) now but had forgotten how to access it. After this video I will go out into the garage and check it out. I have the code in my wallet since 2020. Thanks for posting this.

    I would like to see that this is hands down the absolute excellent best educational and informative video explaining the functions of a motorcycle I've ever seen in my entire life and I'm 61 years old and have been a biker my entire life! You explain things so amazingly simple and clearly! Thank you so very very much, I was one of them **_ FOUR *_C guys where you stated that you are so excited about buying your bike that you just don't really pay attention to anything you're being told because you're just so ecstatic of your bike, you are awesome at what you do on these videos and you definitely have the right career because you are a people person. I am Hawk from Eastern North Carolina about 60 miles east of Raleigh North Carolina and I bought a 2006 new to me Road Glide ironically a year tomorrow isn't that ironic? I had not written or owned a bike in 19 years it took 19 years for me to get back to being able to own a bike and I am thrilled and it is a beautiful beautiful bike. Thank you again for this video and I will definitely subscribe and look at all your other videos. May you and your family friends and loved ones have a very very Merry Christmas and a happy healthy and safe New Year! Again I thank you. Hawk. I stumbled across your video today and the date of today is 12:17- 22, I just can't believe how ironic it is that I stumbled across this video and tomorrow makes one year I had my bike.

And that key thing is super helpful. The part where you can actually set your own pin or even ride it off without the FOB! Thanks man, I can't thank you enough and we kinda do the same thing in KZread for those that needs help.

I keep my code and how to activate it on my iPhone that is always with me. I didn’t know about the battery tender plug until I bought a battery tender to keep the battery charged in the hot Las Vegas summer. Love your videos and rides! P.S.
