Hi, sourced a new battery for the 749. The bike has a data tool alarm fitted. How do I disable the alarm, to stop it going off as I disconnect the battery?
Have this standing by and a bucket of water Alternatively, does your alarm have 2 buttons so you can put it in service mode?
Lol Yes have a 2 button remote, think the alarm is a data tool evo or system 3. Know there is a service mode, just not sure how to activate it
I never had any joy going through the alarm deactivation process, bloody thing seemed to have a mind of its own. I found placing a few strips of Gaffer tape streched over the alarms speaker the most effective way of shutting the bloody thing up! Lived with the alarm for a couple of years until I eventually got enthused enough to get stuck in and remove the alarm. Hugely better without the thing IMO!
Deactivate alarm, turn ignition on, press button that normally sets alarm once, turn off ignition. Alarm should beep once every 15 secs or so. If you google the alarm type/mark , u should be able to get a set of instructions to print for future ref. can't post mine, mobile currently.
Crystal, done that myself before. Foam pad gaffer taped over the alarm and ear plugs in Just trying to do it right this time. TT600 will try that, thanks.
Wrong! 1 minute to remove the old battery and then 20 minutes trying to get the bolts threaded in to the nuts on the new one. The 749 battery is sideways and that job is a bitch to get right if they're not siliconed in!
Already learnt the trick for this one. A small length of rubber tube, about 15mm long, about the diameter that you would use for bleeding brakes. Place this in the cage that forms the battery terminal, then slide the nut in place. This will push the nut towards the front of the terminal, makes screwing the bolt in easy. Tube will compress as the bolt screws through the nut, and spring back when you take the bolt out. This will hold the nut in place all of the time.
Datatool also advise removing the 10A fuse once the alarm is in service mode before disconnecting the battery.
OK..... well i was approaching it from the perspective of my agricultural Triumph TT600, and/or my 916, whereby a battery change can be smoothly accomplished in a genteeeeeeeel 60 seconds, including 10 seconds for sip of ones brew, whilst admiring the/any 'scenery' ambling by. If you will go and buy these new fangled hi-falutin' racing machines, what else you expect..?!! OP - done it yet?, or are you still 'beeping' every 15 seconds.....
google like i did , inside the unit which you need security torx to undo you have to bridge 2 of the terminals , i did write this up on here before but was told was this wise on a public forum so must mean google isn't open to public , anyway very easy fix and them alarms cause more grief than they are worth better off without , your bike is only marginally safe with it
Never fitted an alarm to any of my bikes, but, the 749 came with it fitted. Not swapped battery yet, new battery filled and on charge. Will fit to the bike later today. Thanks for the advice on service mode.
