Fred: (Or anyone else reading my comments):

I called armedguard and talked with John who immediately pointed me in the right direction. As it turns out, it was a wiring problem (my problem, not theirs). Within a few moments I had corrected the problem and the system now functions flawlessly. I'm looking forward to many, many years of uninterupted service from my G-Force.

Again, your photos were a tremendous help.

Thanks again.

O.K., I'm stumped again.

I installed the perimeter radar add-on and the pager add-on, but I'm having the same problem I had when I originally installed the base unit. That is to say that when I trigger the alarm, (as would be the case if someone were to move the bike when armed), the ignition shuts off and no matter what I try, she just will not turn over. I've tried to dissarm and rearm and dissarm the unit with the key-fob thinggy and no matter what I do, she doesn't start.

Any suggestions as to what I'm not doing? Is it a case of having to wait a certain amount of time to start the bike after the alarm has been triggered? Is there a way to circumvent that?

Thanks in advance.

BTW, I also installed the louder siren which is WAY, WAY louder than the factory unit.

As Rosanne Rosanna Dana would say.......... Never Mind!

I guess that once one has triggered the alarm (as I did to test it out), you have do disarm it again or the ignition is shut down. DOH! So obvious too and I didn't realize it at first.

Thanks again for the great pictures and suggestions. They made to operation a much shorter and much easier project.

I've ordered the pager unit and the radar unit direct from G-Force and will be installing them as well once they come.

I have just completed installing the G-Force on my 2005 Goldwing and I've gone over the instructions many, many times. Your pictures and suggestions were very helpful.

My problem is that while the unit seems to be arming and disarming correctly (as indicated by all the right chirps and light flashes), the bike just will not start. At first I thought it was because I had the side stand down but even after I elevated it, she still won't turn over. Just a click is all I get. It acts as if the battery was in a discharged state but I'm really good about keeping it on the battery tender.

Help! Any suggestions as to where I should begin?

Thanks in advance.
