Whenever i hear alarms mentioned on here, it normally involves a flat battery problem.

Mine came with a Meta M357Tv2 alarm, dunno how standard that is, bike did come with docs from when it was fitted at the dealers at time of first purchase though. Either way, these have a known shelf life of around 10 years before the internal battery on the main alarm box gives up and things go a bit wonky; sounder went super quiet on mine and took several attempts to disarm. Many stories reveal they eventually totally give up ghost and you canna disable the immobiliser either.

Fix is either a jumper across a couple of pins on the alarm loom to stop bike being immobilised; yank the whole lot out; or just swap the alarm control unit out for a new one at about £125 quid, to see you good for another 10 years. I did the latter, took about half hour, replacement been working grand for a few years now.

Though i've no idea if your bike would have had this same alarm or whether any of the connections will be universal at all - so probably not much use to you at all. :-(

Years ago we used to make our own immobilisers with relays.....


i.e Starter through rear brake operated relay, flash relay etc..... THEN you could thumb it. Cost next to nothing and won't drain battery. Who listens to alarms these days anyhow.
