You're a legend! Just had a NON STARTING problem with '98 R1 & was convinced it was the alarm, hacksawed off the security bolts then did you hot wiring ... started & ran on the button!!! Awesome & I don't have anymore battery drain. THANK YOU SO MUCH
You Sir are a Legend..!!! I was out today on my zx6r and it has the same alarm module, the remote wouldnt disarm the bike, I was stranded for atleast 3 hours waiting for recovery but during those 3 hours I learned from your video how to fix it once I get home and voila, it was easy enough due to your video. The full credit goes to you for explaining this. Thanksss a million 😁
My scooter battery keeps draining. It came with one of these alarms on it. And, luckily for me, it is the same model as yours. I found the alarm and did the wiring bypass trick, taped it all up and secured it and it worked fine! Thanks very much!
Another comment to thank you for this video. After many hours trying to fix my Suzuki vstrom I eventually turned my attention to the Meta and found your video. Probably the first place to start if your bike is old and stops priming the pump (and has a Meta fitted). In my case it produced error code C41 which has now gone. Thanks again, super video!
I've had the exact same alarm fitted to my bike (Kawasaki ZR7) since I got it 8 years ago but the alarm never worked. A couple of days ago on the way home from work the engine died and failed to respond to starting or bump starting, resulting in me getting towed home. This video helped me fix the problem, exact same pins to short 2 & 4 as well as the white ones. started first time and running like a dream :) cheer for the video.
Super thanks for posting this video - I had just the same problem with the Meta Alarm on my Guzzi California. The bike went dead twice - once at home, another 30km away. Now my trust in this Meta alarm has all gone, its absolute shite. Following your guidance and that of other similar videos I have just fully removed this crappy alarm. All went well so thanks again for your help and to all others with similar videos
The morning of my MOT and the bike failed. 05 triumph sprint 1050. Thanks for doing the stuff I didn't dare to do - taking apart the alarm unit. Followed your advice and the wiring code 2 and 4 . Bike fired up . Excellent , Thanks so much
I cannot thank you enough. To hear my k3 gsxr 1000 prime after I followed your advice made me so happy. I found it best to use a stiffer wire as you can push it down into the slot easier. So good not to have to use that bloomin key fob!! Cheers bud! 👍
Excellent, thanks very much. Had the same issue with my Meta on a Daytona 955. Tried the same wiring (connecting 2 and 4 with a blob of solder) and it worked a treat.
Many Thanks, you saved me a lot of time. I have never liked bike alarms so my mission was to get the alarm bypassed then take it of at leisure. Your bypass works as you have said white joined and points 2 and 4 on the other plug (Ps the bike is a Kawasaki ZRX1200S) i have just got the bike from a friend and he couldn't find the special card to set the fobs, and it hasn't been run for years, note it worked when stored..... but it lost out to time :-( ......once your bypass done bike started 2nd try) Again Thanks a lot.
This video is brilliant, clear and exactly what I was hoping to find. It's such a shame that so many people are having to bodge the revival of their bikes CAUSED by the expensive immobilisation kit which they've installed. MetaSystems (who had this issue on other models) should be ashamed and should be held accountable. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us all how to sort this out.
Worked a treat on my 2002 Ninja (A1P); thanks so much! That damn alarm cost me a fortune back in 2006 and it's done nothing but suck my battery dry ever since! Getting to the pins on the plug was a hellish job; I didn't hacksaw as close to the connector as you did so the pins were still encased on whatever that awful substance is. It's like cement? But the video was perfect; very much appreciated!
Good video I've got the same problem with my Transit van it will turn over but won't start I'm going to try and bypass mine at some stage who ever fitted the alarm in the 1st place did a bum job of it , good video I actually thought I would of had to get auto electrician to sort it thanks
I'm litteraly just away to do my one now. Might be a really stupid question (I havent go into the plugs yet) but how do you secure the wires into the plugs for the bypass?
Can you please hello with s.a.I.s immobilizer bypass of Suzuki an 650 burgman bike, I yanked off the former ecu and key due to loss of the key chip so I fixed another ecu that doesn’t require a chip on key to work…. Thanks in advance
Thanks for this really helpful post. My Aprilia has the same unit fitted, the engine turns over but won't start, it shows no fault codes. The alarm does respond to the arming key. Do you think my problem could be the Meta unit .? Thanks buddy.
@@backofficeshow it gave me the confidence that it could be done... remove the immobilizer.. thank you so much... i hope i can email to you the result or maybe in your facebook or instagram account.m to share the solution I discover
When bypassing my meta 357 (not V2) would it be safer to test the bypass connection useing temporarily a very thin fuse wire?? Would that stop things burning out if the connection happened to be the wrong one?
@@backofficeshow This fix worked a treat thanks. However having seen the nest of badly joined and tangled loose wires that the alarm instaler made on my bike it makes me want to remove it completely. Looks pretty straight forward. There are two wires near the starter relay that can be rejoined. The other wires coming from the meta alarm look to be the red LED (delete) , to indicators (cut), to fuse for meta alarm (cut out) and to earth (remove). Can it be that simple or am I missing something whichwill make the bike not start.
I'm currently doing this. When I bridge the wires then turn the ignition on I get a check light, then it just ticks over but wont actually start. When i plug the alarm back in it starts straight away
Pesky potting material, I have a treadmill that trips the RCD, I have replaced all I can but there is something potted in the middle with 8 connections and I can't work out the component (it is the speed controller circuit so I could make a new one using a 555 if I tried hard enough).
Right, I just did what you said. I was admittedly sceptical about cutting the screws off the plug housing, but I did as you said and although the rubber is hard and it took me a while, it worked. Then I did the wire jamming in the holes thing and abracadabra my bloody bike started!! I am absolutely shocked and so over the moon. Thank you so much, I will share this video with everyone. I just subscribed!
Well done Alan, I am happy it worked! Thanks for the sub, I'm not making many bike videos at the moment so I hope you like video games and electronics 😂
Thank you for this, took off the main unit and did the bypass ok. Did you ever do an autopsy on the main unit to see where the batteries were located? it looked like they might be in the layer under the speaker. I wonder if you could hack off and replace the old batteries as they seem to be the problem? Cheers
I did a little investigation and I gave up. I guess with enough patience they could be hacked off, but it would be better to replace it with another unit - not necessarily the same brand.
Thanks for the vid did this on my k3 gsxr1000 the bike tries to start now, didn't before! Only problem is the fuel pump isn't priming the motor so it won't start. Its a fuel injected bike any ideas what to do to get it to prime? Please help meeee
Quick update I'd put the wires into the wrong pins yesterday I'd put them into 2 and 4 but on the opposite side not the side where the clip is, realised what I did after rewatching your vid. Silly mistake but all sorted now you've saved me £'s so thanks again, legend!
Hats off to you Sir, did exactly what you said cut along security screws, came off nicely, bridged pins 2 and 4 and the white clips, with some wire, started first time, half hour job, and then spent one hour polishing the bike, happy biker. THANK YOU
You might need to experiment a little, if I recall the small white plug is that starter circuit and the black plug with the bunch of pins isolates the various circuits. Try removing the wire from the black plug and see if you get the same result. If you do it means a different set need to be jumpered. If you have a multimeter you can check which pins on the meta connector are grounds, as jumpering to that will only cause something to go bang :) If I dig anything up Ill let you know, but I think with a little trial and error you will find it.
Excellent tutorial. I ended up cutting the wires behind the plug and splicing them together. When I peeled back the heat shrink some of them were spliced together. This could explain why you could get away with splicing different wires together (ie 3 & 5, etc) as the all effectively went to the same place. I also used a Dremel to cut the screws in between the connector block cover. This will allow me to reuse the cover with new screws (but I doubt I'll put it back on!) Bike fired up straight away with no issues.
@@backofficeshow hmmm i think it is a separate unit.. because i got a bike record for a 10 year ago invoice.. which stated replacement of immobilizer... now i have to find that immobilizer... i really am bother by it.. specially i have only a single key...
@@superlate97 You can absolutely do that, however, the immobiliser harness would cut a few wires. You would need to trace it back to those and rejoin them.

Hi. Finally someone who knows what they're doing! The previous owner had fitted one of these pesky alarms to my bandit and it's now starting to play up and need to get rid of it. There is a bypass plug but at 30£ it's a ripoff and unfortunately I can't solder, unlike your good self😀. I was going to use paper clips but even taped up this doesn't seem a secure long term solution, allowing for bike vibration and corrosion.. so, I was wondering if you came up with a more robust design instead of solder? Iam an electrical numpty so any ideas from someone clued up would be much appreciated.! Thanks for the video. Cheers ant
This is true! Mine came on the bike secondhand, I would never knowingly buy one of these new. A lesson learned for the future should I be in the market for a new alarm.

I just typed it into Google and a PDF manual popped up. Looks like it puts the ignition through an immobiliser relay. You should be able to bypass that relatively easily.
@@backofficeshow Hey man. That is for installing a new one. Mine came with the bike, installed by the OEM, wiring is part of the loom, totally different to the one you find in google.
backofficeshow 4 years. I was only 24 and thought, a motorcycle is not good for my health. so I started to kite and had a accident with kiting. Broke my ankle.
Only the Alarm manufacturers marketing and the totally naive would think that thieves don't already know how to do this. It's not rocket science, just lack of basic engineering education in schools. Unless it's built in my the manufacturer it's always just going to be an issue of joining a couple of wires.
So I realise that you were doing this video with honourable intentions, however when you buy your new alarm, you have just shown some light fingered person of questionable parentage how defeat it with a junior hacksaw and a couple of bits of wire. I hope that you don't fall victim to a stolen motorcycle but if you do and the immobiliser didn't do it's job, I might know the reason why.
I think people who steal bikes are more likely to pick them up and shove them in a van then spend the time getting to the Alarm (whilst the siren is going) - even cutting the wires won't stop the alarm if the batteries are good.
And if they've got to the stage of havking away at your alarm system with a saw and a soldering iron, then the alarm was either ignored or not working properly anyway. Good riddance to mine, frankly...
Technically you could just add an alarmed wheel lock and fit secret kill switch where the immobiliser was and it would be just as good in stopping the casual thief. What do you think?

Es gibt leute, denen sollte man wirklich kein Werkzeug in die hand drücken😂
ja, genauso wie es leute gibt, die man nicht kommentieren darf 😂😂

I wonder why manufacturers don't want us to try and repair our bikes ourselves, they must think we're animals or something.
I had a CBR. And had two accidents. Never drove again.
Nasty, how long were you riding for?
backofficeshow 4 years. I was only 24 and thought, a motorcycle is not good for my health. so I started to kite and had a accident with kiting. Broke my ankle.
Still pretty young, I learnt to ride after driving for years, hopefully it has helped, touch wood! 👋
Great work yep teach the new thieves how to steal my bike and other peoples bikes. Omfg Wtf.
Only the Alarm manufacturers marketing and the totally naive would think that thieves don't already know how to do this. It's not rocket science, just lack of basic engineering education in schools. Unless it's built in my the manufacturer it's always just going to be an issue of joining a couple of wires.
So I realise that you were doing this video with honourable intentions, however when you buy your new alarm, you have just shown some light fingered person of questionable parentage how defeat it with a junior hacksaw and a couple of bits of wire. I hope that you don't fall victim to a stolen motorcycle but if you do and the immobiliser didn't do it's job, I might know the reason why.
I think people who steal bikes are more likely to pick them up and shove them in a van then spend the time getting to the Alarm (whilst the siren is going) - even cutting the wires won't stop the alarm if the batteries are good.
And if they've got to the stage of havking away at your alarm system with a saw and a soldering iron, then the alarm was either ignored or not working properly anyway. Good riddance to mine, frankly...
Technically you could just add an alarmed wheel lock and fit secret kill switch where the immobiliser was and it would be just as good in stopping the casual thief. What do you think?
Help, how did you do it on the immobilizer of my triumph tigre 800? has an LDL immobilizer
