    Yes this ST4S has the OEM fit datatool evo alarm immobiliser fitted. I hate
    these fucking things with a vengence.
    4 days sitting in Leeds airport and the battery will barely kick it over. My
    996 was just the same. The beeping in service mode (to do anything at all)
    is almost as bad.
    Trying to fill it with fuel without needing the sender just finishes the
    job.

    Can anyone point me to a source of reference or does someone here have
    direct experience of removing the fucking thing?

    My new XENA XN-19 disc lock/alarm is a faaaar better option. £90 from Hein
    Gericke. I thoroughly recommend them.

    Follow the cables that come out of the box down to the loom, they'll be
    connected into the loom in pairs where the original loom has been
    diverted throuugh the Datatool box. Unravel the loom covering tape and
    see which original loom wires have been snipped and then reconnect them
    all after cutting enough of the Datatool wires to make reconnection
    possible.

    Just remember the original wires will be shorter and won't reach each
    other if you snip back to each join, so leave some of the Datatool cable
    to enable the reconnection. That's what I did on my 9R. Then take the
    Datatool box and jump up and down on it while swearing loudly.

  3. On my ZX10R when I took the box lid off and disconnected the leads it
    started.

    If it's OEM it's probably just plug 'n' play[1], apart from the feed to
    the indicators. Follow the leads from the alarm & if they end at a
    multi-plug connected to the loom, just unplug it & plug the original
    plug back in (which will probably be hanging around in roughly the same
    place).

    [1] At least this is the case with MV & Triumph OEM Datatools.
