Ok bought an alarm, model KG-9D, can be viewed at http://www.motoguide.com/kg9d.shtml
My problem is simply with the remote start configuration. According to the alarm wire diagram (which can be seen at the above page) the Dark Blue wire should connect to the ignitions ACC line -- which according to my bikes book that is the heavy orange wire comming out of the ignition (on ignition set to start this wire is simply shorted to power).
My problem is this -- I have everything wired in and it all seems to work. When I attempt the remote start from the alarm the bike's normal functions (fuel pump, lights, etc) turn on and the bike's starter engages. However the bike will not start. Now if I manualy turn the ignition switch to ON and use the alarms remote start button - the bike starts fine. So this tells me there is something else that the ignition switch completes. According to the bike's wiring diagram there are 3 pairs going in/out of the ignition switch. Red (power in), Orange (power out), Grey (meter lights), Brown (tail light), Orange/Red (ecu), Black/White (ground). With the ignition in the on position Red shorts to Orange, Grey shorts to Brown,
and Orange/Red shorts to Black/White. No either the book is wrong or I'm missing something. Has anyone ever done this before? Or does anyone know what I'm missing. If I manually put the Orange/Red to ground while attempting to start it has no change. But when the key is in the ON position and/or the alarm is attempting to remote start the Orange/Red wire is reading 12Vdc. Any help suggestions or anything... please
