/Edit: If I was going to fit something of this ilk it would be Christian's multiguage which also happens to include not only a gear indicator but a lot more useful stuff - http://cvieth.bplaced.net/ganganzeige_summary.html
That's a nifty bit of kit! Where can one actually obtain one from?

Garage had removed alarm/immobiliser and got their knickers in a twist as they still could get the bike to start every time, turns out the side stand switch has something to do with it. However, alarm/immobiliser is beyond replacing such as it was wired in! Still, I don't see that as a bad thing as it's one less thing to worry about going wrong in the future!
A bit confused though as the beep never appeared when depressing the fob so I'm pretty sure there must have been an issue with the alarm/immobiliser somewhere amongst all this.

All meta alarms come with a code card and the alarm (if led is still flashing) can be switched off using a combination of led flashes and turning on and off the ignition.
The number a Meta alarms fitted to the number of failures is small and the reason there are sealed is to prevent scumbags interfering with them.

PM me which model of alarm you have plus your email address and I will send you the correct method of bypassing it. One of the pictures posted in the post mentioned is incorrect and bypassing the alarm incorrectly can take out the Ignitor or ECU depending on the bike you have.
I appreciate the response and offer but the bike was collected by the garage and it's currently with them. Spoke to him yesterday and he said they were having some issues with it. Said he could get it to start sometimes and then other times she wouldn't fire. Arrrrggghhhh. It seems that perhaps it is just a bit more than the immobiliser or, indeed, the immobiliser and me pressing the fob, I dunno how many times, maybe has sent the ECU into a frenzy. Just hoping the issue can be rectified and cheaply!!!!!

Anyone had issues with theirs? Quite a few I imagine. So, after a gruelling day at work and me feeling like I had lead weights attached to every part of my body, I finally finished and trotted of the bike shed for a ni9ce easy ride home and to be able to slip onto my nice warm sofa with a nice warm mug of coffee but nooooo! Couldn't disable the immobiliser, great I think, new batteries in the fob perhaps. So, a 1/2 hour trek around town to find somewhere that did the correct batteries. Eventually found some, trek back to office, new batteries....no good! Phone call to wife to find the second fob I have. Took her another half an hour to find it, then another 20 minutes to get to me, new fob.....no good! Phone call to motorcycle centre who I bought the bike from who were kindly able to come and fetch the bike and, hopefully [today], rip out the darn thing. Ended up getting home 3 hours after I should have done and still had to move everything from the living room up two flights of stairs ready for the new carpet to be fitted today. So....Fuck you Meta  [/rant]

PieEater, it would suddenly cut out not run rough, well, no rougher than a normal cold start.
slappy, Choke on and choke off. I'm thinking it just needed warming up a little more before giving it the revs. It has been particularly cold of late. I'll see what it's like when I return to work on Tuesday, hopefully it'll not do the same.

I'm kinda 50/50 on this one.
Everything's a rip off these days and everyone wants money for this and money for that. On the flip side, education as preparation for going on the road can't be a bad thing can it? As for failing youths, most that ride without a licence will most likely do so whether or not there is a theory test, it's an unfortunate side to humanity!

Bike had been sat for a couple of weeks, started her up after a few goes but she'd cut out at 4000rpm? Once she was running for a while and I'd taken her for a spin everything's normal. Is this normal for a bike been sat for a while or is it a sign of something I need to be servicing/looking at?

interesting.....those who advocate bans etc...
do you talk to your passenger, do you have the radio on etc.......all of these plus others come under the term "distraction"
Not quite in the same arena though I fear to say! Talking to someone and/ listening to the radio isn't quite the same as having one hand off the wheel or looking downwards whilst texting!

I'm all for blinding fools like that but there are two points to consider; - as chris.biker has already mentioned, it might not be wise to distract a driver so close behind you as you may come off worse
- if you are seen to be doing such a thing by your friendly M-Way cop, he might not be so friendly too you
Maybe I'm a bit long in the tooth but the simplest thing to do really is just let the prick past and get on with your day

If he's PS4 gaming then I'd certainly consider at least a 4K TV. This being based on the newly available PS4 Pro which is uses HDR. Now, don't get 4K confused with HDR as they are entirely different things but a good amount of 4K TV's will be compatible with HDR. I've recently upgraded to a PS4 Pro and luckily the TV I bought is only a year old and HDR compatible and the difference in clarity is chalk and cheese. Just a thought and also reiterant of the above mentioning of thinking ahead

Sorry to hear this fella, it's never easy but time will heal. We lost a Rescue dog some years ago now having been with us for too short a time. In his case it was the horrible big C that took him. We fought for him as he fought for himself but enough was enough in the end. We took on another rescue dog (same breed and same colour funnily enough) shortly before he passed and again, the big C came along and took her before her time, same type of cancer but not as aggressive although it had stopped the flow of blood to her front leg so it was decided, rather than let her suffer needlessly with removal of the leg (seeing as the cancer would take her eventually), that we'd say goodnight. The poor thing had gone blind in one eye and then the other before the C came along but she had adapted so well to that. Still, to lose two dogs to the same C was heart wrenching and seemed so unfair. On a lighter note, we bought ourselves a Dobermann pup this time. God is he a hand full

Agreed Graham. Too many twats on the roads these days! I know I'd apologise before giving hand gestures or the like if I'd done something a tad bit wrong! Still, with age comes maturity eh
