I'll say it again for the third time. Have you tried de-activating your alarm with your spare keyfob, you should have two, TRY THE SPARE ONE. The battery could be flat in the one you are using and thats why your alarm is behaving weirdly.

Have you checked the Main fuse in the bike like I told you to either.

These are both basic and free things you could try even if you try them and they dont fix it you are narrowing down the problem for the garage when you do take it in so you are saving money that way.

no i aint yet, ive jus finished work, where is the main fuse, (well i am getting all lights and evrythiong so could it reali be the main fuse, and no i dont have a spare key fob. matie i bought it from probley kept it incase he eva see the bike probley


im goin to try the battery out of my dads bandit 2moro see if that does anything, if not i think im goin to have to take it to a garage

Look in the owners manual if you have one, I'm not sure on the K4 where it is, but I suspect if you take the infil panels off underneath your riders seat you'll see a plastic bit underneath the RHS rear of the fuel tank and theres a 30amp fuse in there that you want to check

It could be does this sound familar.

Alarm misbehaving and not responding to the keyfob, dash lights on and headlights, but when you thumb the starter nothing happens ? Thats what my K1 did when the main fuse was blown everything worked but the bike woudlnt start. My main fuse was blown.

Even if it is OK at least you'll have ruled it out and its one less thing for the garage to check.

But I thought you said you had charged the battery over night ? If so I dont think you'll achieve anything by the battery swap with the bandit unless your battery is completely goosed, but its a good idea to double check it.

Good luck.

Nothing but the best I used cableties! I really like that, is it OK for ground clearance etc? I've had some R6 cans on in that position, but they usually slop upwards and narrow at the front so no probs with clearance.

Nice one. Ah, I could be wrong but it looks a bit like the swingarm might whack it when it's uncompressed?
