it has a security system and a battery minder

Do you have the "factory" alarm? I ordered one on the 2006 I have - it is a "DataTool" alarm. Haven't been able to program the code to unlock the beast - first step in the instructions say "Locate the inline fuse on the brown wire" or something like that. Peering in the battery compartment and under the tank has not been fruitful.

DataTool alarm provides ability to put bike in Service mode to remove the battery (If needed). I've swapped batteries using backup juice - as I didn't want to lock myself out - hopeful you are able to start the beast?

If not DataTool alarm - what do you have?

... and WELCOME! Brains (not mine) hang out in this forum! VERY useful!

thanks anhouck for your thoughts, i do have the same factory alarm, i'll wait to see what happens when i put the charged battery back on, i'll check that the leads are tight and clean.

Hmmm, where have I heard that before? Isn't that the bartender ghost dude that drives old Jack Nicholson crazy in "The Shining"?

Problem sorted, the battery was stuffed, with the new battery in she's purring again, I don't understand why the jumper didn't work, but I'm a happy puppy again. Cheers.

Nice one XH
I will ask the question-- i know you guys like your sheep as much as the scots do but why in gods name do you have a dial up connection might be that is all that is available in your area, we all started with the dial up, remember the old 2400bps

What was it comedian Lewis Black said about New Zealand? .... "If they want to be part of our world .... they need to hop off their island, and push it closer".
That guy kills me!
