Post a picture of the alarm, some of the early models were not the best and were known to strand people
Sent you a message, asI don't like putting the methods up on forums of facebook or anywhere else
Oooo gremlins ... we've all had em at some point.From experience, I would put money on alarms system has had it ... Meta/ Datatool alarm systems are crap & all fail at some point, wiring can be a pain to unpick from the loom & get things back to stock, but it can be done, IMHO it's far safer & easier to wire in your own ignition cut switch & hide it out of sight.Youtube is your friend if ya not clued up testing with a meter ... Might be worth pulling the ignition switch & check for broken wires (continuity test from switch to loom connector under tank) "Kill" switch can also cause issues, I've had all the above at some point, hence my Meta alarm is long gone.I also suggest starting at the front of the bike & meter test each loom plug, pull apart & check for the dreaded "Green Death" if you find any, you can pretty much scrap that connector, 2 loom plugs under left front infill trim are the main culprits for corrosion & can shut the bike down for no apparent reason.

I totally disagree with that comment about alarms, many are incorrectly fitted and because of that give trouble. I have rarely seen a META cat one alarm fail because of internal issue outside of failed internal batteries. All with the exception of one I have been asked about was down to poor fitting. I have seen so many taped up twisted together wires fitted by so called alarm fitters and professional mechanics it defied logic. Two I have come across was failed fobs due to water ingress after owner replaced the batteries and did not reseal the fob proberly afterwards. The datatool I did not like as an alarm even though it was a good alarm. Got a few calls from fellows with presumed failure but was from interference for high frequecy radio waves from equipment nearby. Moving the bike 50 metres solved it. The earlier models like the Datatool 3 were problematic because of poor sealing and improper mounting making them very prone to faults due to vibration. I am not a professional mechanic or alarm fitter but have been working on low and high voltage elecrtic circuits and electronic since the mid eighties
