The reg/rec on the pointy is incredibly hard to get to

...and yes I have only just got round to doing it () Alarm wouldn't respond to the disarm button when I got to the bike, not sure if it was a coincidence or not but it started responding 5 minutes after I put it on charge. (although the bike started fine so I'm guessing the battery wasn't completely dead).
