Hi all

p-0616 A-50

I know this one has bounced around a lot , someone mentioned that it had been caused by an alarm wire (maybe a META ) that had been incorrectly wired to the the wrong side of the starter relay, I am guessing that is what inhibits starting when the alarm is on, I was thinking I might track down that relay and disconnect any non standard wire from it hoping it get rid of the SERVICE message. probably not important anyway as it has an immobilisor. I have charged the battery and it seems to check out , no red lights on the optimate. Am I right in thinking the starter relay is on the lh side of the bike near the battery??
As the bike is new to me I need to see the trip just in case the low fuel light doesn't work - don't want to get stranded this weekend with the m'rs on the back.

I reckon that wire would be attached to either 85 or 86 (old school designations I know ) one being earth and the other switching live , it would make sense for the diagnostics to recognise that from ign on and bring up SERVICE immediatley sort of convinced myself thats whats doing it :yes

Don't have any info on the alarm that is fitted, I have one older used greyish one and a newer one in blue both have META written on them.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated :thumbup

no worry's nothing wrong with the bike just the meta alarm buggering things up , didn't thing it was doing anything so never hit the button on remote , it still started ???
if I hit remote button SERVICE doesn't come up ---Happy Days
 
For what my two penneths worth ae worth, I'd rip the bloody thing out. Nothing but trouble old alarms as they are never installed (in my opinion) professionally and just an opportunity for your Italian princess to have a hissy fit at the least convenient moment.
But as said just my opinion
