time to bin that evo 3 me thinks

hi biff i do like your vivid descriptions :biggrin

ive removed many alarms as i fooking hate them and never had a prob with insurance.

most alarms are piggy back and are simply fitted to the bikes loom (some are made for the bike and plug in)

best way is start at the alarm and just follow the wires to where they meet the loom, then remove the alarm wire and re tape the soldered joint on the loom.

there should be 2 indy wires , earth , power and a switched power.
then you will have at least 2 wires for the imob and those will need cutting with enough tail so you can re-join them so the loom wire is fixed (re-joined)if that makes sense.

the re-join immobilizer wire is usually fuel pump earth etc (alarm just makes the connection when switched on)

should be easy to spot as 2 wires from the alarm will join 1 cut wire from the pump or pump relay so you can check via wire colour and re-join it.

some bikes have a relay to add or replace as factory fit and have a plug in so hope that's not the case with the rsv? griff (fusebox) may know if these alarms are fitted from new and use a factory plug in?.

mine had an alarm but it was removed when i got the bike so i was robbed of that rewarding kill lol

i usually cut the alarm off at the box and either whack it or put it in water as i hate the death scream !!!! lol

just check with someone like griff on the relay etc or you will be a no bike man till you get one if needed.

ive only removed after mkt alarm like datotool spyball etc and its usually a half hour job after removing panels etc to access wires.

if you need a relay get that first before starting as you may find yourself having a :rant lol

+1 too what Lonner says , i removed my Meta alarm off my Mille , I did warn it on a number of occasions used very harsh words but still it chose to laugh in my face !!. Just look for all the wires methodically from the alarm to your loom , probably all black wires , aprilia's are multicouloured. And just cut them off or un-solder them depending how proffessionaly they were fitted.
As for insurance , never told them , lets face it if the bike was stolen then recovered , more than likely the thief would have removed the alarm anyway

Hated the datatool alarm on my previous mille but got to say I quite like the meta alarm on this one as it just works and doesn't go off unless it's supposed too- result.
Never removed an alarm on a working machine but the advice above sounds spot on. The alarm is basically breaking into your bikes circuit with normally open and closed switches which activate depending on alarm condition. I would imagine it would be a fairly simple job with the good old haynes manual for circuit reference.

Good luck

also to add to my post i think its the later 04 on bikes that have the plug in alarm fitting so should be ok with the 99-03 bikes on removal without issues.



i think ?

Biff m8, wire snips, 6 cans of beer ,various spanners,sockets and a big ****** hammer that sorted mines oot after it kept me up all night even after i disconnected the battery thought the bloody thing was haunted, its only wire taps that just need sniped then taped up once off invite your pals round then burn the ******* lol :thumbupLonner m8 mines was an 05 and was just spliced in ,must of been a muppet that fitted it,:jack anyway thats me just about got delila(daytona) sorted for the new season(knockhill)but still miss ma ape slightly lol i'm still not got a court date fur ma speeding and the bike is now sorned and is for track only the wife has put her foot doon ,and its a big ****** foot:thumbup:biggrin still goin to try and get a couple of ride oots sorted for the scottish lads these donkeys on the daytona forum aren't up for it kind of sad really or maybe its just me......:thumbup
