I asked Datatool if there was anything I could do and they said.... -------------- If you have purchased a bike with a Datatool System3 or S4 alarm already installed, they can be programmed with a PIN override. If the previous owner set a pin originally, but has either forgotten to pass on the PIN or has forgotten the PIN themselves, you will have to take your bike to your nearest Datatool dealer, where they will perform a procedure known as a PIN DUMP. This will drain any Pin from the system. Once this has been performed, either you or the dealer can set a PIN of your choosing (4 digits long & 1-9). In some instances the previous/original owner may have not set a PIN, if you are not in contact with the previous owner and arent sure weather they set one. The best thing to do is try the Initial Pin Entry procedure on page 6 of the user guide. If you are unsuccessful setting a pin, it is more than likely that a PIN has been previously set. Please use the Wheres my nearest dealer? facility on our website www.datatool.co.uk to locate your nearest 10 Datatool dealers. Customer Service Supervisor Datatool UK --------------- I was lucky as the previous owner hadn't set a code and the default worked, I have now set a code and not written it down so the next owner will not be so lucky.

Any charger will top up a partially discharged AGM battery. I gave mine an overnight session on the Optimate last week as I haven't been able to ride the bike since July. If you deep discharge an AGM battery then you will need a particular type of charger. An Optimate does not have enough wattage to wake one up, according to posts on UKGSer. Does the smog lift in Wolverhampton enough for one of those Maplin photocell chargers to be of any use? -- wessie at tesco dot net BMW R1150GS

I remember wessie <putmynamehere(a)tesco.net> saying something like: >If you deep discharge an AGM battery then you will need a particular type >of charger.

Quite possibly an older traditional charger with no fancy control bollocks on it - just raw DC and half-wave at that. The pulsing nature of the unsmoothed DC suits LA cells better than smoothed and I wonder if AGM cells are similar - but perhaps not for in-service use.

I have one of those as well as an original Optimate. Also an ancient, simple up to 5 amps job, or would that kill it? >Does the smog lift in Wolverhampton enough for one of those Maplin >photocell chargers to be of any use? > Worth looking in to. The birds don't tend to drop out of the sky as often as they used to in the old days, and I think we even get 'black spot' on the roses lately. A few milli-amps might be forthcoming on a bright day. Though as I usually keep a Halfords car cap on the MX5 I wouldn't be able to leave one cunningly wired up and placed inside on top of the dashboard. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: Peter(a)ps-fisher.demon.co.uk | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest * 2 Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |
