    Welcome to the family. Do hit the upload a file button bottom right corner and shoe the inmates the steed. Yes the alarm do seem to be more trouble than they are worth. Do get the lead to plug in and unplug the alarm to see if it works. Also make sure your battery is 100% percent. I had my 675 showing good battery but wouldn't start changed the battery and hey presto. Try a jump start. And look at your safety switches on the side stand and clutch lever.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Thanks Dozers Dad for the reply. Had the alarm changed under the recall.

    The LED may be a loose connection.
    How did you try to programme another fob?
    What time scale has this taken in?
    When you switch on are you getting noises whirring or what else?
    Do you have any lights instruments when you turn the key?
    Like a good detective they need every detail.

    Thanks Sprinter for your advice.Where does the led light go to.Havent been able to programme another fob as the led light is not working. Only managed to set pin number. Bike started one day next day nothing. When switching on you hear fuel pump priming. the instruments light up pressing starter switch no sound Will go through check list and see if that helps. Thanks John.

    Hi John,

    have you tried removing and stripping the clutch switch? Did mine and it now turns over faster than ever. Just a thought
