Aftermarket alarms systems are the spawn of the devil, had similar issues on my Fazer 1000, ripped it all out, out back to factory spec, all works mint as Fook a tell thee.
I watch your videos to gain a little knowledge/been their done that. I really like your videos and now realise when I call a bike mechanic you are as baffled at first as me lol. I admire your workmanship and ultimately also realise if I called you out you would bring a wealth of tried and tested methods and diagnostics. This sir is what we call you out for and as far as I can see you are a top notch mechanic and I hope your business venture goes from strength to strength, sir:) Please continue uploading your videos as I followed your fork oil replacement video with your "little helper" on my VTR 1000F FIRESTORM and it has transformed my PRIDE AND JOY:) You may laugh but the fork oil video has totally transformed my pride and joy and I wish to tell others to follow it up and I ultimately wish to thank you, sir.
I have seen loads of those alarms do just that mostly about 4 years old.Theres an internal battery that cant be changed I have always thought that was the problem but I dont know.They have a 3 year warranty and always last at least 3 years.I have fitted maybe 50 of them and removed about 30.
I had a a Datatool did that, battery went down wouldn't hold a charge so if it squeaked for ANY reason (like, arm / disarm), no battery charge left and it wouldn't respond to the remote for 10 or 15 minutes. It was removed of course. Fortunately I didn't buy it, because it was amazingly expensive (looked it up), came with the bike, and yes bang on 3 years pretty much. 😡
Another great video - always good to see a professional mechanic faffing about and getting confused, makes me feel less useless in my own garage. :) The beanie I ordered from you arrived by the way, it looked stupid on me but suited my girlfriend so I gave it to her. I think people are more likely to pay attention to her than me anyway.
James what did you do to the Alarm ? Remove it completly. Join the 4 wires you jumped out leaving the rest of the Alarm loom in place or replace the complete Alarm ? Had an R6 last week wearing a 357 v2 that refused to pin out and start, So i took the plunge and removed it which resulted in a runner but my pinout diagram must be wrong as i to went 1&2 3&4. You need a shave by the way lol

Never liked bike alarms, and this helps me to know why.

so good to see you again James ..
motor elecs do my head in . thank heck there are ppl like you
Love it, I hope you can find the time to do more.
I own an rc and just found your channel. I dig it.
Yep a short somewhere. I like your persistance. Yep sometimes you get a tricky one but makes life interesting.
My m357 packed in .. just had it replaced , fired up first time after 7 yrs .. yes it is a Honda
Motorcycle alarms absolutely the work of the devil, utter waste of time.
Absolutely agree. The first thing I do with any bike I buy is rip the alarm system out. They're about as much use as tits on a chicken.
Not boring for electricians!
James what did you do to the Alarm ?
Remove it completly.

There's a greater than zero chance you could fix the alarm if it's possible to get it open. Often a bad capacitor or resistor shows itself physically.
I believe the alarm had lost its ignition supply as it should not of re-armed itself while the ignition was still switched on.
Why did you not check the power and grounds to the alarm?
