What is peoples experience of alarms?
My vstrom which I bought last Friday has a Datatool alarm fitted, never had one before, think this is a decent quality one and going by the bumf I got was fitted professionally.
When I bought my bike, rode it home 60 miles, parked it up and have spent the time since doing a few jobs, started it once on Sunday.
Anyway, finally got my insurance sorted and went to go for a ride this morning, turned over slow at first, then after a few attempts battery was dead as a dodo. Plugged in my optimise and 3 hours later started fine (leaving it on optimise overnight)
So, do alarms flatten the battery if left for a week?
Of course it could be that the battery was a bit low when I bought the bike or the battery is toast.
What do you think?
