Datatool Blanking plug

VFR_KID · 31 Oct 2010 at 17:48

Afternoon chaps hope you are not all to cold from riding or tired from watching racing.

I went to take out the Daytonas System 3 Datatool alarm today. Now im willing to try most jobs but after stripping back parts of the loom it was looking ot be a big job.

Im advised that the bikes come with a blanking plug for shipping purposes, so the alarm can be disconnected and the bike used, also used when maping and such.

Does anyone have any or work in trade that could fire me one? I cant find any online. probably due to folk stealing bikes

Once the plug is on I intend to burn the system 3 alarm in a bonfire of thermite and nitrous glycerine you are all welcome.

955i daytona

Just incase connectors differ

Cheers

Surely you would just need to chase the wires back to what the alarms been chopped into and reconnecet?

From what I see and what the Haynes manual shows the loom comes with the connector. Tried to unclip the alarm and start but get nothing.

They use the blanking plugs in shipping so the alarms disconnected.

And looking at the wiring diagrams the alarm loom is part of the main loom creating main wires hence the need for the plug

Hiya

Taking off a datatool or any other is not too bad a job

I had to remove a meta from my ZX12 as it was faulty and was sick of not being a ble to start bike...

Most alarms use multipoint imobilisation, and also for security all the wires from alarm are black (the IDs are cut off when alarm is installed)

I'm assuming the alarm was a retrofit to the bike ?, in which case just track back the wires and find the areas they 'interupt'

In the case of my meta, it was fuel pump, ecu power and one other... (2 wires for each item). You disconnect the black wires interupting the origional wire and join them back up. Do each point one at a time... until all wires are disconnected from alarm box.

Just read you last post and it sounds like your bike came with in built loom for alarm... in theory you just need to link the wires of each interupted circuit, but the problem is going to be IDing which ones to connect. I bet they are not marked ? (that would defeat the point of the imobiliser

)

Don't try and ring datatool, they won't help you

I think you might have to try and trace the wires by peeking in the loom at different points... or speak very nicely to a datatool engineer

I have the haynes manual which shows the alarm plug on the wiring diagram. Also can't figure out where certian wires go to. Apparently they come with a blanking plug for the loom side for shipping. Which can be used instead of the alarm. Think I will use that instead of cutting wires out

My SV650 is exactly the same, you remove a shorting plug and plug the OEM alarm in. Takes 20 minutes max to fit the alarm.

I think this is may be what you are after. Seems a bit steep, so you could create one from the old alarm plug for nothing as the picture shows fairly clearly which pins need to be linked.

Im going to create one myself.

I have been on a Triumph site and a guy sent me pictures of ine. Case of linking 2 possibly 4 wires so will try that.
