Re: [ST] Alarm

[rogerowdenobrien@xxxxxxx]

Sometimes the simplest things work. On my older bike the datatool has two symbols - a circle and a triangle - and last month I got stuck like you did Chris and after checking and changing the batteries etc a simple ten second depression of both switches together cleared the problem. 

No reason for it but it worked.

We have a tech at work that relishes in the small stuff so I will pass that 
onto him. Damn good idea Chris. Failing that I will contact Datatool.

I managed to download the specs on the alarm and figured out how to turn off 
the motion sensor. Mine has a circle and a triangle for the buttons.

I was sure happy to be riding her today. Just a shame the weather didn't 
co-operate.
