setting alarm

[bryn jones]

When setting the alarm/immobiliser on my GS it only very occasionally gives two beeps to indicate as set. Indicators flash and light on dash blinks always though.
Any thoughts?

Mine doesn't give any beeps!! Two flashes of the indicators going on, and one when turning off. It's not very sensitive either. I have to give it a good bouncing to set it off which I suppose is a good thing when windy etc.

Just a thought

The plipper battery may be on the way out.
If you've got 2 plippers try using the spare one.

I tried to change the settings on my alarm & it wouldn't have it although the alarm would activate/deactivate OK. Some bright spark here suggested the battery may be low in my plipper.

It was.

Plipper Do you mean the zapper? or the Thingmie, or the Doofer?

No, he means the meeker.

Cheers!
I'll try the batteries in me ditter and see if I get the bleeps!!

I've got the bleeps now. It was a programming issue. I couldn't use my manual as the pages were stuck together. Looks like the last owner had a thing for alarms. Downloaded the manual and used the programming mode.

The bleeps are pretty annoying though.

Nae bleeps here. Just the flashy lights and the one on the dash. All working OK. I don't use the alarm that much anyway.

As I remember 1 beep to arm, and the second beep to keep the alarm armed but turn off the motion sensor for if you was on a car ferry/train etc and stop it going off.

Although you are right in saying they are not very sensitive anyway.

...keep the alarm armed but turn off the motion sensor for if you was on a car ferry

Why would you want to set the alarm on a ferry? - is someone going to swim off with it

I initially didn't think the alarm was very sensitive either but sometimes it is over sensitive!!

Was washing the wheels the other day, not too roughly and it went off.

I have it set so it arms when you turn off the ignition but have it without the annoying peep peep.

This is an old thread I know, I saw that someone was able to download the R1200GS owner's manual somewhere online. I was wondering if anyone has a link to it. The manual that came with my bike is all stuck together and the pages are ripped, so it is pretty useless to me.

Thanks!
