Street Twin battery life

Hi Bobby and welcome to the forum.
I have a factory fitted data tool on my 2012 Bonnie and so far no issues.
I do have an Optimate charger which I have only used once as I use the bike almost daily.
Read your Datatool manual or download one to fully understand how they operate.
I have read on other forums that the alarm can be affected by strong electrical intererference, tv masts etc. which worries me a bit, but so far all okay.
(Fitted when I bought the bike, no way I would have paid £300)

 

Again I am referring to the street twin not the bonneville on which the alarm worked perfectly. I have been a biker for the best part of 50 year so I am well aware of the workings of chargers etc.

 

My 2010 Speed Triple has the Triumph datatool alarm, I think if it gets to around 4 or 5 days of being in the garage without use it would be difficult to start. Luckily I use my bike every day for my commute but now and again needs a top up charge at the weekend
(It could be a slightly buggered battery cell though due to charging at 19v for a while)

 

Great stuff.
Look forward to your input

 

Yes, go for the Xena one Dozers Dad is recommending (back on the first page). Brilliant/noisy little thing...... one of my better buys, had it about a year now without any issues/faults.

 

Recently received a letter from triumph...... there is indeed an issue with the circuitry between the bike and the Datatool alarm. They are recommending a software fix to the bike to sort this problem via the dealer.

 

Hello. I would appreciate a lot if you can bring in the details you got from the dealer on topic here. I have exactly same problem on my Street twin 2016 which came with pre-installed Triumph (Datatool) alarm. I checked several measurements including charging and draining currency and even with alarm in winter mode I had 33mA draining from battery. I am curious if this is possible to solve if dealer upgrade software of motorcycle? Datatool instrction book claims maximum of 2.5mA in armed condition. See file page 2.. Thanks.
