Datatool S4 C1 red issues

[AJB88]

Hi all,

Had a Datatool s4 c1 red on my Kawasaki since new (2007)

come out to it today to start it up with a view to going out on it for the first time for a while, pressed the button on remote to disarm the alarm and nothing. Turned the ignition on thinking the whole bike was dead and the alarm started going off but cant disable via remote.

the remote light flashes when I press the button, dug out my spare remote which was totally dead, so switched the batterys so the spare remote has the working battery but still nothing.

so now I'm thinking its the actual alarm that is having the issues, anybody had this before? cant do anything with the bike until I can disarm it as its stupidly loud.

I had seen that but yeh mine was from 2007 so unlikely. bikes only done 2900k since 2007 and has been dry stored all the time so the unit itself is spotlessly clean.

Will try 2x new batterys.

I have emailed there customer services as well.

Datatool customer service response "we dont know whats up with it"

really helpful.

I will dig out all the documentation I have for it see if I can work out the override code.

Turns out the battery was knackered again. Only replaced it 2 years ago and its been sitting on a trickle charger. I think the OH has unplugged it at som epoint and then plugged it back in a few weeks later.

new battery fitted and away it goes no issues at all.

Result

I had an S4 C1 on my old striple R and to be honest I never had any issues. As someone else said I think the issues are generally down to poor installation.

Was installed brand new by DK Motorcycles in 2007 apart from the fact the battery drains very quickly its worked well.

On a side note my car is above yours in the new V.W.G magazine

Haha don't think mine would last 2 weeks even with a new battery. Yeh went out on it last night for first time in 2017.
