Speed Four & Datatool Nightmare

Hello All,
I am a new member to this forum but have read many posts relating to the dreaded datatool alarm system.

I have an 04 Triumph Speed Four which has always, since purchase, had some minor issues with the alarm.(I think it's a Datatool S4). Recently however after the battery again discharged the alarm system has finally locked me out completely.

In the morning after battery charging, bike started fine, that afternoon the alarm will not deactivate.The key fob led illuminates however Indicators don't flash and turning ignition on activates siren and key fob(s) will not silence or reset alarm. I noticed that the wire to the rear LED was corroded and broken but speaking to Datatool they assure me that this will not effect the alarm operation.

As stated, I've read many posts relating to this, all seem to have the opinion of ripping the alarm out, a simple job requiring the linking of pins 1+2 and 3+5 on the multi-block connector... simple if you have a multi-block connector, which I don't appear to have. My datatool seems to be spliced into to main wiring loom with any colour coding tags removed. To complicate matters further I do not have a code for the alarm so resetting using that option is also not possible.

I've attached a couple of pics, for what they're worth, showing the connection of the alarm (with the heatshrink removed). Any USEFUL help/advise or wiring schematic for the speed four would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

 

More than I know then!

 

Thanks for reply..
Having looked on Ebay etc none seem to be available at present and previously sold items have gone for £100+... Time I have, money I don't
Did you consider splicing in another Datatool alarm? Was that an option or more trouble than its worth.

 

If only life was that simple! But thanks for replying and trying anyway

 

Do you know if the Triumph TT600 is exactly the same as the Speed Four? Seems that wiring looms are available for the TT600 for about £50.. however am I correct in also assuming that there are variations of these bikes i.e. one with carb and plugs and one with EFI? ( sorry don't know the limit of your knowledge of this but assume you know more than me)!

ASSUME - makes an ASS out of U & ME

 

I thought of that but surely the wires left on the loom must go somewhere? Or are they just dedicated wires for the alarm system? Are the bike loom wires the ones that would go into the multi-terminal block that everyone else's alarm simply plugs into? ... I know nuffink

 

Thank you for the offer Iceman but as explained earlier the alarm is hard-wired into the main loom and does not have a multi-plug to plug a blanking plug into. So a blanking plug is of no use. That's alot of plugs!

 

Hello again!

Well the saga of the Datatool removal has continued for these past months. I decided to submit and take the bike on a trailer to a bike shop, who assured me that they could remove said piece of **** . five hours later and catching the last bus (I should have phoned first) after a further 4 mile walk in blistering heat carrying crash helmet and leather jacket, I arrived at the shop to find they hadn't even looked at the bike.

On inspection they then tell me " oh it hasn't got a alarm connector fitted and all the wires are black" ... Somewhat annoyed by now after informing them of all these facts before taking the bike in, they came to the conclusion that I should buy a second hand wiring loom and they would fit it...all for the mere sum of £500!

Well long story short I went home and returned next day with my trailer and took it home again. Yesterday I set to work, after finding a service manual on the wonderful? "google" I traced the individual wires back the their sources and removed the damn alarm myself. (Should have done this months ago)

It was not as difficult a process as made out and took me and my multimeter about 4 hours from start to finish. The Triumph Speedfour now starts and runs perfectly well without a battery draining, immobilizing piece of **** fitted. Knowing what I know now the whole process would probably take far less time than 4 hours as half the bike didn't need stripping down.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help and offer advise, greatly appreciated.
