Putting Your Bike in Transport Mode to Save Your Battery

Very few of us want to put our bike on a trailer to take it anywhere, but living in a climate that has four seasons sometimes requires us to put our beloved friend in a trailer to get from point "A" to point "B". 

With the start of Daytona Bike week this past weekend, many riders kicked off their week-long adventure with a dead battery?  Why?  Because they didn't put their bike in "Transport Mode" and their battery was drained.

Why does it do this?  Because the bike is constantly in motion in the trailer.  When the bike shifts, it searches for the security fob to do what it's supposed to do, secure the bike from getting stolen.  Because of all the shaking in the trailer the sensor is running the entire time, thus draining your battery.

This is why you should always keep your battery on a tender, and always put it in "Transport Mode" before you take it anywhere on a trailer.  Todd, our Sales Manager at Hot Metal Harley-Davidson is going to show us how to turn it on!
