    Hi I hope there is someone out there that can help my dàtatool alarm on my cbr1000rr 55 plate keep screaming for no reason the only way I can stop it is to put it in sleep mode which is ok but it beeps every 15 seconds and is not secure . The only thing left for me to try is a lump hammer . Lol . Can any one help please....

    Do you need the alarm for insurance purposes? Datatool have a reputation for going wrong and eating batteries if I were you I'd just get shot if not needed for insurance. Get a big chain instead

    Has unit become dis lodged Or sat on the piss there are tilt switches built in ? Just a thought ? Is battery in good order as low battery might be an issue ? Just another thought ??

    As Rob suggests could be the tilt sensor, which is a crude ball bearing in a sealed tube of fluid, that can become stuck, or it could be sensing a voltage drop on the system, have you checked for an unusual current draw?

    But given all that, if it ain't needed for insurance purposes then rip it out, as it won't stop your bike being nicked. All they do is solder the wires from the control unit into the loom so you can trace and cut and seal them.

    As Kentblade says it's fairly easy to remove your Datatool alarm, i had nothing but trouble with the one on my Bimota so one Sunday afternoon set about removing it. I de-soldered my wiring, just followed the wires from the control box de-soldered and taped up the exposed wire. Great peace of mind now just put the key in and start no more worrying about the alarm disarming or not as was the case on a number of occasions.:)
