hi, I'm new to this group.
I have a 2000 r6
It's been garaged for 10years, due to wife/kids etc.
Been allowed to get it back on the road, battery dead, engine turns by hand, changed fluids etc, connected new battery. I have ignition lights, dash display, lights etc but the alarm (datatool system 3 I believe) doesn't sound or turn on or off when battery is first connected. Fuel tank removed and spark plugs disconnected to try and spin the engine by starter only as I don't want it to run just yet. But nothing happens when I hit the starter button
Has anyone got any ideas
Many thanks

Re: Newbie. Having electrical problem
Thanks r1clarky
I downloaded that, doesn't seem a lot of use though. When I changed/disconnected the battery in the past the alarm would bleep or make a noise but now not a peep from it as if no power to it.

Re: Newbie. Having electrical problem
My wife worked in the bike trade for years and told me if a bike was traded in and it had an alarm over 4 or 5 years old that they'd take it off as they were far too much trouble

Re: Newbie. Having electrical problem
I reckon the backup battery in the alarm has died and the bike is immobilised
I reckon you need to remove it, not too hard to do.

Re: Newbie. Having electrical problem
I had my Datatool removed from my 4XV, more trouble than it's worth. Get it removed and then repeat polar's excellent advice.

Re: Newbie. Having electrical problem
Oh, and I meant to add, Datatool went out of business about ten years ago.
