Hi,
I want to get rid of the alarm on my bonneville. I need a blanking plug does anyone have one spare?
I am also happy to give someone a free alarm. Come over and I will have your blanking plug and you can have the alarm plus two fobs.
It's a 2006 T100 and the manual is claims an S4 alarm.
Thanks
Dennis
you mean 1 of these?
I`ve no reason to believe that triumph didn`t use the same plug/alarm of the whole range of bikes.
So the OEM alarm "should be" a Datatool S4, which are notorious for the internal battery failing leaving you stranded, but generally they start to degrade, after 12 months just when they`re out of warranty. Symptoms of this usually manifest themselves as the alarm unexpectedly going off. The frequency of these events slowly increase over a period of time, before ultimately failing. So I suspect (as most triumph owners know about this issue) you couldn't give the alarm away even if it was gold plated
Warning
When you finally removed the alarm make sure that you put the alarm into ferry mode prior to pulling the connectors apart (arm the alarm, then press the 2nd button so that the lights flash 7-8 times).
Because if you don`t the alarm will go off, and keep going off very loudly (even while disconnected) for 30-40mins until the internal battery runs down, but by putting it into ferry mode it will still go off when you remove it, but it will chirp like a canary, the noise it makes when you arm it, albeit for 12-24hrs. There`s an anti tamper plastic box around this plug which will have removed. The dealers no longer give the OEM plug to the owner & don`t keep them, iirc they have to be sent back as part of the proof of fitting. So I doubt unless your lucky that anyone in the workshop will have a spare.
Good news #1The plug IS available to order from the dealer for £5-6 +VAT, iirc
part #T2500396.
Good news #2 I have a spare, but the bad news is I`m heading to Spain the next day or so, and won`t be back in the UK till 5th august. So can`t help you atm, so it might be sensible for you to source a plug from a dealer, or at a push using image #2 (to figure out the pin positions used) you could fabricate the individual wires needed to do it
