I may be getting Datatool and Meta mixed up as I cannot remember which bike had which, but one or the other relates to a Datatool alarm :o ...
on my Triumph the 'bridge plug' has to be returned to the manufacturer of the alarm to prove installation. The manufaturer then destroys the plug (for safety). Triumph don't make more plugs than bikes (for safety). On ringing around, one Datatool installer said he could manufacture a bridge plug from the alarm plug, but this was not needed in the end.
Alternatively, on my 02 Fazer there was no plug and play facility and the alarm was wired in by cutting into wires. Don't know when Mr Yam put a plug and play facility on the Fazer for alarms, but I guess after 2002.
Most half decent mechanics can (or claim to) be able to remove alarms. Think it cost £25 to get the one off my Fazer [and it any theiving scroat is reading - before relacing it with a full singing and dancing, top of the range, super duper alarm - honest!]
I would blame the alarm/imobiliser, but then I'd blame them for anything wrong with the bike.
