Alarms and batteries

Alarms got an immobiliser too- think it'll be tricky to get that out of the system.

My local Honda dealer is a Datatool fitter- I may see if they'll look at the alarm on a Suzuki (cheeky boy as I am!)

Here's an interesting one- my bro has been borrowing the bike for a couple of days- took the battery out and charged it on Monday night- left it out of the bike, but not connected to anything.

Plugged it into the charger last night and it needed another hour and a half's charge.

Could it be that the battery is knackered? Or do optimates normally run a charge for 1.5 hours if a battery is less than fully charged?

If my battery is knackered, then I guess this could be the cause of all my problems.

But somehow, I doubt that it's that simple...

Whatever is wrong with the electrics, junk the alarm anyway. They are absolutely useless and to be honest, I'd rather someone stole my bike than have to put up with the hassle that alarms have caused me over the years.

The only ones I've had have been professionally fitted to used bikes I've bought, but that never stopped them all playing up.

Scrap the alarm, no-one takes any notice of them anyway.
