I left my bike on accessory for a couple of days. The only way it was brought back to my attention, my alarm went off. I don't know why , but it did. Anyway, the battery which is only a month old was just about dead. So I put in on charge for 24 hrs and tested the battery with a meter and it tested good, around 14 volts. However when I noticed the alarm light not blinking on the speedo and no other lights lit up on the speedo when I had the ignition switch on I'm wondering if there is a way to reset the alarm. Is there? The only thing I'm going to try is pulling the bags off and and turning the switch to run and pulling the main fuse for a minute and then plugging it back in..............Any other suggestions?.............Fuzz

Well, no results with pulling the fuse with the ignition on. I'm stumped.

Pulling the main fuse in the procedure you described above should take care of your problem.  Short of that, you could try turning the bike off leaving it sit and then turning the ignition on and off 3 times slowly. That will reset the ECM for a number of issues. That doesn't work, pulling the main fuse should do it.  Good luck!

Check for stored codes in all systems and rest all. Sometimes pulling the Security Turn Signal main plug will reset system.

good Luck.

Well, right now I have the battery disconnected . I'll hook it back up. But when I do turn the ignition on, there are no other indications other than the neutral green light and the oil light on the yoke. That's it.

[hdbrad03]

Did you check for blown fuses?

Assuming that I read read the meter right , the battery was good. So I called my father who's an electrician and he promptly chewed my a$$ and told me I was reading the meter wrong. From 1200 miles away he still can chew me a new a$$. Anyhow, I was reading the meter wrong, and the battery has to be either charged with a better charger than what I have or replaced. All the garages and Indy bike shops are closed down here in Fl on Sunday. And my good charger is up in PA. So this project has to wait till tomorrow to continue, football and Bloody Mary's are on the schedule for the rest of the afternoon. Thanks to everyone for your help. I'll let ya know how I make out..."...........Fuzz

When I left mine on just like you not long ago my bike acted the same way. I kept the tender on it, but it didn't do a thing. Had 5.8 volts coming from battery. Just enough to turn some lights on the dash, but thats it. No alarm light or anything either. Wasn't gonna drive a half hour to borrow parents real charger. Battery was from late 07 so it was time. Ordered one from battery mart and it showed up 2 days later. 5# of....in a 10#bag getting all the crap out of the way that I've added to area over the years. But once I got it connected, all was good.

Weather is just getting beautiful down here. I was going to take the scoot to the Stone crab festival in Naples today but the Bike Gods were not with me today!!! Tell Val I said hello. I have yet to ride down to see Miker. I will !  You guys will have to come down and visit ! The weather is cooperating now!..........Fuzz

With out every thing here in front of me and I might be confusing my CVO with another bike,  but isn't there a 9 volt battery in the security module as a back up?   I will try to find the information and post again

This is something I found on the net not sure if this helps.  But it may not even be the system that's on your bike

IDK if there is, but if so it must be rechargeable. When I was changing my battery I hooked it up for a second and the alarm started silently going off and continued to fade out to nothing. Then I went and got my keys and finished install. Next day I was taking it off of lift without fob nearby and it was chirping loud. So I think there's a rechargeable one in there somewhere.
