Is it the bike starting or not once the alarm is out? at the moment it atarts and runs ok. cos i haven't started cutting bits off it. the problem arises when you switch it off. If you're within a certain distance of an autoroute toll gate, or a mobile telephone antenna or relay, or a number of other radio emission sources, You can't disactivate the alarm with the remote control due to the interference from external frequencies. This happens on a regular basis and is extremely annoying. There is a solution when this happens: switch ignition on ( alarm siren sounds, indicators flash and electronic immobiliser cuts in) once the alarm stops screaming ( 30 seconds) you have 5 seconds to switch off and switch on again the alarm emits a series of short "bips" and a series of long "beeps" the long beeps correspond to your manual pin code. when the number of long beeps equals the first digit of your 4 digit pin code switch off the contact, then immediatly back on again and count the beeps corresponding to your 2nd digit... and so on untill you have entered the 4 digits of your pin code. the alarm then emits a series of "bips" for 3 seconds and flashes the indicators once to confirm the alarm is disactivated, you then have 45 seconds to start the engine or the alarm will reactivate in it's default mode. believe me, you learn this procedure by heart... you notice that the whole procedure relies on the "series of "Bips" and "beeps".... so when your alarm no longer makes any sound ( which is now the case here)... you're "fucked" ( Fucked being the correct technical term for the position in which you find yourself in the middle of sodding nowhere at 2 o clock in the morning.) It will then start raining. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I don't know why Triumph persist with the datatool alarms, they've been shit since they first started fitting them. My OH had one on her Speed 4 and the internal battery died on it, so we couldn't get the bike to start, as we couldn't turn the alarm off. Fortunately, being a UK bike, we just fitted the jumper plug and junked the alarm. Anyway, that doesn't help your position. Have you decided what to do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 As a qualified electronics engineer I would continuity test everything and do it myself, given what I know about you, don’t be a cunt, take it to the dealer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, going to the dealer tomorrow. that way there's no " fail" option.

MooN Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 'bout 20 minutes. 36€ i had the bike booked in for 14h00 but got there about half an hour early, Vincent, the shop manager turned up about 5 minutes after I did which was a surprise ( French lunch break is still traditionally 12 till 2) and he said he starts before the others to get a half h of calm and do some paperwork before oening the shop at 2 but he let me in so I could sit in the air conditioning and drink his coffee whilst waiting, Pascal the mechanic turned up at 13h45 and rather than open the main shop doors just pushed tigger in through the customer entrance and through the showroom and got straight into it. This sort of behaviour is sufficiently unlike normal French "service" to be worthy of note. Pascal invited me into the workshop to show me what he'd done and to ask how I wanted it finished off. He'd started by joining the wires that were flagged white and yellow with bits of tape, to see if that was effectively the solution, and it was, alarm out of circuit and everything else functioning, I've even still got the dashboard LED flashing as if there was an alarm. he then chopped the remaining wires and I ceremoniously removed the alarm unit, still weeping and clicking ( it has an internal battery) to the workshop bin. Pascal then soldered the connections he'd made, grouped and insulated the loose wires and secured the whole lot together. Good job jobbed! Thank you to all those who made useful and / or helpful comments, cos it was only really because of what I learnt that I was able to push them in the right direction and get the neccessary information out of datatool. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
