At the moment i am on my third alarm! I have had problems with it not setting correctly and trying to tell me my battery is flat since i had the dam thing fitted! The only way i partly cured the problem was to purchase an Optimate charger and leve the bike on constant charge when not in use. This seems to work and it now sets correctly most of the time but it can still occasionally plays up! I have spoke to various alarm fitters about this problem and they seem to think that because the ducaties charge at such a high voltage (as high as 16V) when the bike is switched off the alarm suspects the battery is low. This is because the alarm monitors the battery voltage which will be quite high when the bike is running but drops to abot 13V when the bike is stoped! Hope this helps.
