Hi all, just bought a 2000 Sprint ST 955i complete with hard luggage - after two years on an SV650S i thought it was time to grow up a little and get a proper bike ! Trader is going to service it, and replace the rear shock (bit soft) and hopefully I pick it up next week ! Just one thing ... I notice it comes with a datatool alarm, which I see does not have a good press on here ... ! Cheers Chris
Hi Chris, welcome to the nut-house. With the age of your bike I'm guessing you might have a Datatool 3 instead of the 4. If so, you shouldn't have any problems (based on personal experience). Datatool 'upgraded' to the 4 and basically fucked up a very good alarm/immobiliser. You know the old adage 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'? well datatool ignored this. I guess I'm just trying to say don't worry unduly. :smile:
Thanks Chrispy and Brybrem no idea if its a datatool 3 or 4 - guess I'll find out when I pick it up, but you've eased my mind a little brybrem, thanks ! Does anyone know if there are forum bike stickers available, a bit like the business cards that left are on bikes ? DOH ! Just seen the "FORUM STICKERS" Thread .... specsavers here I come ...
Sunny Milton Keynes... you allowed to put them words in the same sentence? hope the bike purchase goes well... So welcome to the forum... We promise Jim wont actually show you his small sticker collection....
Hi Chris welcome to the forum, nice choice with the Sprint, plenty more power then the SV 650. As for it being a more grown up bike; you won't find many grown ups on this forum, plenty of juvenile old gits though:upyeah: Just a personal opinion on alarms (in general) they ain't nothing but trouble.
Morning all .. if nothing else, this forum has proved to me that care in the community really does not work lol :wink: I'm hoping that the purchase goes OK, cant wait to get my hands on it !!
Care in the community is great, i use to be locked up 23 hrs a day in a padded cell now im free & able to roam the streets :smile:. I still hear the little voices in my head but they rarely tell me to do bad things these days :wink:
Nowadays do they say things like "slow down your going too fast" and "ooh looks a bit nippy out there it might rain" ?
Speed is overrated, not the narcotic type... Thats superb :smile: Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.... It just happens that my guardian angel rides a mobility scooter.
Man I hate those stickers on cars instantly makes you think your following an idiot. I just wish I had thought of the mobility scooter bit! That's very good.
