Bloody alarm

Working on the bike this morning and all was good, I refitted the rear caliper with new stainless joining bolts, Hel line and titanium mounting bolts, tightened the right footrest as it had been an MOT fail item and moved on to the front wheel bearings. I got the bike up in stands, wheel out then had to leave the garage, so keys out, alarm on and lock up.

I returned to the bike and the fob did nothing, so it's off with the seat while getting deafened by the alarm siren and whip out the battery. Now I'm stuck with a bike that will be arming itself as soon as I put the magic smoke back in.

The alarm is a datatool Veto evo, it's been on the bike since new. I'm not bothers about keeping it as I have big locks and chains so if I can't reprogram the fob I'll probably want to rip it out. Any tips from any of the old hands here about ditching it?

Oh, and I couldn't get the bearings out, I need a bigger hammer obviously.

I think Blinkey wrote up about removing the alarm if not I'm sure someone did but it seemed a popular move.
As for chains whips etc Randomsquid is probably the closest to an expert we have :)

Not sure if that helps but never a bad time to make people aware if the squids predilections ;)

It was decided that it was in the best interest of the forum not to post up the alarm removal.

I talked to one of the admins about this and with the advise I received I decided not to post.

I removed the Datatool alarm on my blue Falco. Basically you need to track down all the feeds to the alarm and where they intersect with the wiring loom and cut the virus out. Before you start, arm yourself with a good quality soldering iron, multicore solder, plastic adhesive wiring tape, heat-shrink sleeving and a hairdryer. You might also need lengths of cable of the correct size and sleeve colour. Vehicle Wiring Products can supply all you need in this respect (and lots more besides).
