Hi All

Have just purchased an alarm for my 97 XTZ 660. Have got it fitted and working (to an extent) but the alarm has an automatic start/stop feature where i can start the bike while off of it, but the two wires that i presume make this happen are a bit of a mystery to me. They are described as a) flame out wire - end of wiring harness, and b) flame out wire - end of main switch. The corresponding wires on my bike where i attach these are black/white for both according to the instalation guide but the only black/white wire on my bike is in the main harness and goes nowhere near the main switch. Or am i reading this all wrong??? As i say the rest of the alarm is fitted and working, ie, it arms, the led blinks, it sounds when touched and i can turn it off. Also i have attached the engine start wire so that when i push the start button on the remote the bike clicks on for a sec, then clicks off with nothing happening, obviously i have to fit these two wires somewhere. Near and roundabouts the ignition coil or somewhere i presume. I fitted some heated grips the other day and they work fine from the ignition positive so i have a little bit of an idea what im doing but flame out has confused me.

Any advise or is very welcome. Thanks for looking.

Personally, I would not use a remote start on a bike. I don't want the thing running unless I am standing next to it or sitting on it.

Having said that...
Have you looked at the safety interlocks; sidestand, clutch, neutral, that prevent the bike from starting in gear or riding with the stand down?

I dont think they are an issue at the moment, need to find out where those two wires are supposed to connect to.....
