Anyone know what make of alarm is fitted as standard?
Is there an immobiliser?

Mine is the two button fobbie jobbie. Gemel TXSHS.

The F800 has factory fitted immobiliser.
The alarm sounds like BMW OEM, don't think it's Thatcham rated!
 
Thanks for your reply thomo, yes, it is factory fitted 2008, but do you/anybody know if a specific alarm manufacturer was used? I feel BMW don't make alarms, or do they?

Yes they do, I work for BMW and retro fitted a BMW alarm to my last bike, a F800 ST.
Does yours sit in the rear storage space, behind the seat, plug into the socket adjacent and your red rev limiter led on the clocks flashes to indicate its armed ?
If it does, it's. more than likely a BMW alarm :)
 
Thanks for that, yes alarm seat area, flashing in clocks, Insurance companies are an ass, I'll just say factory alarm imob and hope they don't get the hump.
