Removed Datatool 3 now won't start.
 

So recently bought a curvy with datatool 3, all in perfect working order, i came back to y bike in the morning, and it sound like it wanted to started but couldent, got a car around and jumped it, and was working fine so assumed the datatool was just sapping the battery to much, replaced the batter, but now the bike is immobilised, i think, I have removed the alarm and think i have reconnected all the parts - 1 either side of the seat and cut away the rear ones which just latched onto originals. Since the immobilise and removing the alarm, the bike is dead, no sound, no lights nothing, am i missing anything? would appreciate a hasty response

Re: Massive datatool 3 problem
 

so you've removed the alarm completely now ? they normally use three circuits to immobilise, did you trace all of them? also worth checking you didn't blow the main fuse, but with so little detail it's hard to say what you've done.

Might be worth doing an idiot check on the cut-outs to.


Cheers Mark.

What extra detail would you need? I did think about the fuse, but want to make sure its nothing else before i spend any money. I have found 2 wires which were attached to the alarm, the main fuse earth wire which i have re-attached and another orange and white wire running from the tail loom into a cylindrical object at the base under the tank, the other attached wires were spliced into original connections, and i have cut them away, i used this as a rough reference - sid squids instructions - http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=135497

thanks for a speedy reply mark

I have just found another possible immobilizing point, under the seat fuse is a orange and green wire which has been connected with a small black barrel object with D35 6A05 on it and has been soldered on remove?

Re: Massive datatool 3 problem
 

it's unlikely it only used a single immobilising circuit, you can't just cut away anything that attaches to original wiring, you have to work out the "loop" of original wiring that was cut to place the alarm in it and reattach it back together once the alarm is removed, As I said there will be at least 2 and should be 3 of these "loops" to join back together (on good installs they purposely make sure the wires can't be just joined, but require an additional length to be added to bridge the gap left once the alarm is removed), which are normally easy to find tracing the alarm wiring, you may find it a bit more difficult now though.

It costs nothing to check cut-outs of fuses.
