[MrWestys748]

Right i'm going to remove the alarm but there is one connector on the left had side which comes out of the main wiring of the bike and connects to a lead from the alarm but there doesn't to another connect to connect to it, do I just unconnect this one and tape it up. this wire is not the indicator, or the battery or led or the other lead that connects by the clutch cover.

Yes just tape it up, did the same to mine this year, and it runs fine.

[MrWestys748]

well I removed the alarm from the bike and now when I turn the key the fuel pumps don't come on. If then connect this wire I was talking about back to the alarm the fuel pumps work. I have looked for another connector on the bike to connect this too but I cannot find anything. the wires on this connector are brown and white. anyone got any ideas?

[Roy748Bip]

I had the same problem with the fuel pump not working. I can't remember right now how I fixed it but i'll have a look at my bike later. Actually it'll have to be at the weekend if that's OK?

Have you tried bridging the wires?

Could be part of the ignition relay circuit from the wire colours you have given.

Here's the wiring diagram for the 748

i had a look on my bike last night but I've helpfully tidied up all of the wiring in the loom.....

But from memory there were two brown wires coming from the front of the bike on the left hand side and appeared under the seat unit and connected to the alarm. I think i just joined then togeather and the fuel pump worked.

The connector is there as part of the old custom fit alarms. It needs to be bridged and all should be well
