Alarms and the wet weather!
 

After getting really hacked off by the fact my ignition circuit (with an alarm/immobiliser) takes a funny turn after a wet ride i have come to the conclusion that i will 'reconnect' the ignition split circuit 'back in' but leave the alarm connected to the other circuits it immobilises along with its alarm function!

Anyone else done this? - just not sure if i can disconnect just one part of what it does.

once i have done this i will just tape the two ignition immobilisation wires that come out of the alarm that will be unused.

Or better still take the whole alarm off and put it on Ebay.Best mod you ever made.:mad:

Knackered alarm due to good old british weather! as you can see the insulation has worn away and the bare wire was touching the frame!

My alarm (Datatool system 3) used to play up when it got wet, it used to go off a couple of hours after i'd given the bike a wash, but on a recent wet trip to Wales it started goin off in the evening after riding in the rain.

With a trip to the Alps in August I really didn't want it going off in the middle of the night waking up the whole campsite or worse playing up & not being able to start the bike so i've just had it taken off

That just looks like poor installation damaged wire or it was rubbing up against somthing, so not a problem of the alarm, the installer did not take proper precautions. Lets not forget that the early SVs suffered similer wires rubbing against the frame.
