Hello And Datatool ....

Hello All.... just joined and new Daytona 955i owner...

I bought this as a bit of a project and already need some help!!!

Main problems are:-

Exactly what model do I have
Reg/Rec cables getting very hot very quickly
Datatool alarm.... its been standing for ages and i dont want it anyways!!!

Model.
I bought this as a 2002 955i, which it is on the V5, it has a one piece nosecone fairing and no separate belly pan on the lowers, but investigations show that this would probably have had a two sided swingarm... except this one doesn't?...... and has a single sided fitted.... so what is it... It was registered mid 2002 and its the Caspian Blue colour.

Reg /Rec
With the battery connected the cable at the , new looking, reg/rec get hot very quickly, so does the alternator plug connector under the airbox. Im assuming this is a bad connection casuing too much resistance or maybe a shot reg/rec?....

The bloody Datatool.....
I cant attempt to fire this up due to the alarm whpch I cant disable, dont want it any way so after looking the all knowing thing that is U Tube, I opened the little connector box with the 4 tiny torx screws, and cut the cable of going to the alarm unit, I linked out 1&2 and 3&5 as per the video I watched but nothing....

Any thoughts on what the correct link out is on the Daytona?....or why its not working...
I hate bike electrics normally......

cheers in advance !!!
