So I was parking all the bikes for winter.  I sit on the ConV and it chirps.  WTF! The FOB thing is in my pocket.  It chirps again as I'm moving it into its winter resting spot.  So I grab the other FOB and put it in my other pocket.  Take a seat and right the bike- CHIRP! and the lights flash.  What is up with this thing?  Has this happened to anybody else?  Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity or is this just another quality CVO feature?

You may want to double check that the alarm system is working correctly in the first place.  If you can disarm without the fob, change the PIN, etc.  The unit may not be working correctly.  Mine would act as though it was alarming but you never saw the key symbol flash periodically, and I could not get the bike to take my PIN, etc.  Let us know.  That may be step 1.  Pork.

What year bike?  The battery's in the FOB's need to be changed every 2 - 3 years.  When the FOB batteries start to die, that's how they act...

The bike is a 2010.  I have no idea what the PIN is.  Can I just disconnect it altogether and be done with it?

I think your dealer will have selected a PIN check your handbook or ask your dealer what it is. Change it if you want to , works on no. of pushes on right and left signal switches .

Near as I remember, You have to have the fob with you.  Then look in the manual and I think you turn the ignition to ign-off-ign-off-ign and then press on both signal switches at same time for a couple seconds.....the preprogrammed PIN comes on the dashboard and the first number on left flashes so you can change the pin, one number at a time.  But that way you know what the previous PIN is.  But of course you need to have the fob with you.  Try that.     Mine had trouble from the get go because I disconnected the power from the battery without doing all that other stuff......like reading the manual first...... hehe....and shorted out the speedometer.    that's when I took my first alarm lessons......

Thanks Pork, That's some good advice to get me started.

Had that happen to me 1 time. And I'm thinking it was magnetic interference. I'm not sure, but I'm thinking it could have been my security badge. Damn thing went off and wouldn't even start, and wouldnt shut up! Next time it does it, 1.) Move it away from any magnetic source. Then with key fob handy turn switch to Aux, Stop, Aux, Stop, Aux, On. It's something like that. Maybe Aux, On three times. It'll reset the alarm system and allow you to start it. That was the damndest thing. I'm out in the parking lot where I work, lights and audible alarm going off. I disconected the battery and that didn't work. Took me about 20 minutes to get it to shut up! Mine's got a siren too. I just lucked onto the solution. Guess I read it somewhere. Had a hell of a crowd! I don't. Carry my badge and keyfob in the same pocket anymore.

I had my cell phone in my pocket.  Maybe that interfered with it.  What do you guys think?

I've had some unusual problems with my system as well.  At times the system will activate and then the alarm goes off while I'm on the bike.   Changing the battery in the key fobs seems to have resolved it.  Apparently the passive systems are highly sensitive to voltage drops.  I now carry a spare.
