Not usually

After having to leave someone at a cafe in pi**ing rain 'cos he had his on ignition key I always keep mine separate and safe.

(He caught us up at next stop after leaving it on top of the oven in cafe for 10 mins.)

Programme the alarm so that it self activates. It then deactivates with the ignition key.

No need for any dodgy sender

I think if you turn on with fob it still turns off with key.

I did this with my alarm, but there is no way you can tell the alarm off for a temporary period while you move the bike arround because after turning off with the fob it re-arms after a short period of time (15secs maybe).

Am I being a bit dim to suggest you just put the key in the ignition whilst you turn the bike round?

Haven't used the sender since I first had the bike- and never needed to, The sender is just asking for trouble.
Agree that you need to disarm the alarm to move it, wash it etc etc. but as previously said- just use the key.

Did a 300 mile ride in 32 deg two weeks ago and encountered a flash thunderstorm flood- it was so refreshingly heavy and welcome . When I got home my mobile phone- which was in my pocket, had drowned.

Good job I was not away from home with that sender thing in my pocket.
