Re: Mot pass !
oh yeah - it was def the alarm causing the problem - not had an issue since, started first time everytime - going to invest in an optimate so that i can re-connect the alarm especially as i want to get the auto ignition switch from the fob !

i doubt the optimate will help if you rode from yours to maccies by mine and it wouldn't start by the time i got to you.

Re: Mot pass !
i had a lot of trouble with my alarm draining battery, not even the opimate could save it
turned out the battery was fecked.
maybe your battery needs replacing?

Re: Mot pass !
well ive just got back from a week away - bike wasnt used, but as I wasnt about i reconnected the battery - after 8 days being sat with just the alarm i got a reading of 12.15 v from it - it turned over OK, but i have disconnected the alarm again as i dont want it dieing on me again !!!
if its dropping from 12.6 to 12.15 over the course of 8 days do you reckon it is the battery that wants replacing ?

Re: Mot pass !
well the only other thing we changed was the fuel pipe - i was just thinking that maybe with a brand new battery in there the alarm might work OK and i can leave it connected all the time - being as you dont think the optimate would help !
any plans for any rides this week ?
