Trackers
- Thread starter KJB
- Start date
Like others I have had problems with false alarms and battery drain on the Datatool stealth that was fitted to my 2020 1250GS by BMW to the point that I cancelled the subscription after the 1st free year and disconnected it. The scroats know where it is located too as they're all fitted in the same place because it plugs into the existing wiring loom, so if someone is looking to have a tracker fitted I would recommend they get something else instead.

Unfortunately most of the companies I have spoken to insist on a Thatcham approved tracker system, Datatool is top of their list
BikeTrac is S7 Thatcham rated.

Mine had an S5 fitted from new by BMW as well as the alarm
I probably wouldn't have specced them but they were there
Had no issues with either
Bike was parked for 9 days whilst abroad and started perfectly
It is on a BMW optimate when at home
Think it might have been in relation to the number of people who struggled to get insurance. The dealer I got my bike from had to cancel 2 new bike orders when the customers
couldn't either get insurance or it was stupidly high
Is there no offer from BMW?

Ironically insurance on my R1300 GSA and on my M1000R were both more expensive if tracker listed, go figure!! Needless to say didn't fit one on either!
