l have to apologise at the outset - I dont own a fazer - VFR Im afraid. I came upon your Fazer community whilst searching for a fix for the notorious Meat Alarm. I read several articles here iand thought I was sorted but sadly no,and now I am asking if anyone has any ideas.
The problem - battery in the alarm is dead and its impossible to start the bike. A very common issue with Meta alarms - mine is an M357. I aimed to bridge the connections and have both the guide and pic that is on your sight and also nicked a copy of the pin out. Having tried to bridge as described the bike will turnover but will not fire. In fact if i go by the pin out and the pic - it turns over but the hazard warning lights come on when I tested the indicator. If I remove the jumper on pins 1 and 2 and just use the jumper on pins 3 and 4 - the bike turns over and the indicators behave themselves. My suspicion is that I need to bridge elsewhere on the block to allow the bike to fire up but which two I dont know.
If anyone has any guidance or fix that would be great. Again sorry to "abuse" your forum
Cheers Keith
