K1200LT Alarm Bypass and Removal! 

You Da Man!! Problems with 2003 LT finally solved. Did have to eliminate the blue wire (with red dots) from the three wire splice in order to make left blinker operate properly.

This guy is right on the money! Followed this to the letter and it started up and ran great. It’s a bit of a chore to get to, but once you see the alarm speaker, it come out easy. Then just put it all back together and no more alarm crap!

Hi kirk. Whe are already 9 years big fan Al repair videos whe have used for my 1200lt 2005 From the clutchs plate to the abs all video,s where verry good for the jobs Thanks keep on the good work Berend kok. The nedelands europe

Kirk, thanks so much for this! I've done a lot of work on my '01 and now my '06. Tracking down the no-start issue was driving me crazy. I should have checked the LT forum first, which is where I found the link to this video. Thanks again, GB

Thanks from the Rep of Ireland great video 👍

Hi Kirk, I wanted to apologize for stating that Kirk's alarm bypass and removal not working. Yesterday I had a chance to test the wiring around the battery and found a couple of lost wires. I re-attached the wires and now the bikes work. Thanks again Kirk for the instructions to resolve my issue.

Hello from France, Following your instructions, I succeeded to remove the alarm and to restart the bike !! Thanks for your clear tutos!! Bye

Thank you for the awesome video. Our 2009 K1200lt started randomly beeping and 4ways started flashing recently on a 3,000 mile trip. It lasted for about 30 minutes, then healed itself. It did that twice! Now I know how to disable it. Thank you.

This video here of removing the alarm cured my intermittent cruise control issue. It now works 100% of the time. I'm going to assume the alarm has a motion sensor in it the CC uses to disarm the CC when the bike goes over a bumpy road. At any rate, thanks Kirk for a very helpful video.

Jesteś Wielki!! Thank you very much!!! Connection 2, 6, 10 - I had to disconnect the blue wire, because the left turn signal light was on when the ignition was turned on. Besides, everything is great 👍

Kirk, love your videos. Beyond helpful to a newbie!

As always, you have produced another superior video. Clear and concise and very informative and helpful. Especially noteworthy is including information for the earlier alarm system, as well. That's the one I needed. I'm going to go try it now! Fingers crossed..... Again, my sincerest thanks. David

Looks way more intimidating then the job actually is. Following your instructions I was done in no time and it works perfect thanks!

Fabulous! Thank you for this - I was expecting a large bill for a fix but thought I'd just check RU-vid first and Bingo!!

‘Put your glasses on and you’ll see the ‘numbers’, Love the fact the “Old Guys” are the ones who appreciate the 1200lt but sucks we can’t see without the glasses. 😂

Thank you for the video. I have the same model and when I connected the blue wire with red stripe my left side blinker would not shut off and emergency light would be illuminated. A simple solution to this is not include Blue with Red stripe into the first cluster and only jump four wires instead of five. The bike runs perfectly fine took care of the running light issue hopefully this information helps those of you with the same issue.

Thanks so much for all the valuable info! I have an ‘03 K1200lt and my alarm system matches up to what you walk through on the ‘05 and newer models. Not sure if they were testing the new assembly, but either way it worked perfectly. 30 minutes from start to finish including seat and case removal. Now I’m back on the road thanks to your expertise.

Just bought a 2002 K1200LT with a "no crank" condition. Even though it's older than the 2005 in this video, it had the more modern connectors (NOT the ones shown in the picture near the end of this video). There had been a mouse nest/chewed wires in the space where the alarm resides. Repaired the wires; no joy. Did this bypass; no joy, but the turn signals are funky now. I'm stumped.

Looking forward to the step-by-step of 2004 and earlier. Glad to know it is even possible. 🙂

I have a 2015 BMW G650GS that had a short on fuse 2. Turned out to be the alarm system. Disconnected system but wouldn't start. Used the same jumper idea in this video, thanks for that. Jump pins 3 to 4 and pins 5 to 6, and the bike starts!!! Thanks.

I just recently purchased a k1200lt a 2001. And all your videos have been extremely helpful. I would like to upgrade my alarm on the bike. Do you have any good ideals for a upgrade? And if so could you make a video on how to uninstall and install new alarm system. Keep up the amazing work you make some of the best video DIY videos on RU-vid.

Thank you 🙏

Connecting 3&4, 5&6 bypass it in R1150Rockster. Thx for your video.

Kirk I just disabled the alarm system on my bike want by everything you said connected the wires just like you said

Hi, I have do the some with my BMW K1200LT of 2002, now he running without problems, bat the left side indicator is switch on all the time

This guy is amazing

Would the alarm make my 2008 K1200Lt when I lock my boxes with remote lock when I unlock the the boxes. They all unlock but my front compartment will not unlock NOT sure how to fix that help

In Europa muss von den ersten 3 Drähten die verbunden werden sollen, der blaue Draht mit dem roten Strich weg gelassen werden, sonst leuchtet links die Blinker dauernd. anscheinend war bei mir die Batterie in der Alarmanlage defekt, weswegen beim anschliessen der Motorradbatterie immer funken sprühten und die Batterie sich sehr schnell endlud.

Buongiorno ma dove si trova il connettore arancione il nero da staccare e il bianco da ponticellare ?

Kirk, nice viedo. I wonder if i have to remove the whole ignition block to replace the ring antena on an 2007 R1200RT.

Hello, I want to thank you for saving me at least $400 dollars. I was going to lose my s$it because of the damn security system. My GF and I removed the security system in the Florida heat and humidity and lived to tell the tale.

I did what was said to do on the early model and it did not work.

Thanks a lot for this video ! Very useful like all the others. Do you know if we keep the use of the central locks after the alarm disconnection ?

Amazing

On my 2004, it appears that the large connector is opposite of what this 2005 has. The alarm end (male) plug has the pink in it. The female is from the bike’s system,. The white plug is attached to the alarm’s mount at the rear of the assembly and is also the female. Not confident in how to proceed.

Yeah I followed your video and disabled my alarm just as you said how to do it and now my bike will not start I was wondering if you had any suggestions please let me know thank you

Hi Kirk, I removed the alarm according to your instruction video. Unfortunately the engine will not start. The starter motor turns, but the engine does not start. I removed the alarm because it was the cause of a short circuit. The motorcycle is built in 2004. Can you advise me on what to do next?

THANKS!

Hi Kirk, your videos made me decide to buy a K1200LT, the alarm system is the older type like 5:27, I disconnected (the sh)it as described and ripped it out but then the LT won't start anymore, the starter won't turn, is there something I forgot to do?

hi folks, is anyone able to tell me how to do the same to the k1200s model please? i just want to be able to 'key in ignition, start bike and ride' old fashioned idea😅 thanks

Boa tarde. Está ligação influência alguma coisa no farol? Depois que retirei o alarme meu farol não funcionou mais.

Hello , dank you

Hi Kirk, I followed the instruction for 05LT and my bike still will not start. any suggestions?

Hi Kirk, I followed the instruction and my lt still will not start. any suggestions?

Buongiorno ho appena visto il video ho una bmw k1200lt anno 2003 e vorrei togliere l'allarme quando lei fa i collegamenti sul connettore a 12 pin quei fili bisogna saldarli fra loro? E ho visto che il connettore arancione e in connettore nero vanno staccati e basta giusto? Vorrei sapere l'ultimo connettore bianco dove lei baipassa 3e4 e 5e6 come faccio a capire il verso del connettore dove lei dice 3e4 e 5e6 ?

The blue wire with the red stripe is your left turn signal. When you do this your left turn stays on all the time. Bad info on this video.

I checked the wires and fuses and everything is set up correctly. The signals and horn do work but the bike will not startup. 281-two-five-zero- 5469

Yes

good morning, I have removed the r1150r alarm but I need explanations to be able to start the bike, if you can help me I would be grateful. have a good day

this will also work on bmw c650 2016 my bike was stolen and im got it back without alame it wont start with the switch only with two screwdriver on the start solenoid wil dis help a nieuw alarm is 500$ lot of money

Kirk, great video! My 2005LT keeps blowing the 5 amp fuse for the alarm/brake light/horn with key off. Does following this video fix my problem, or do I have to go another route?

I’m stranded help! All of a sudden it won’t start. I think it’s the alarm. Any tips on button sequences or anything that can be done in a Walmart parking lot?

Hi I have a 2005 LT an I'm planning to have the alarm removed as per your video.please advise what happen to the remote function an immobiliser. Are the all disconnected an a remote is no longer require.thanks collin

Hey Kirk, your Video is very helpful. I have the same Problem with my BMW R1100R. I removed my Alarmsystem only by removing the connectors. Can I now connect the wires like in your Video? The same numbers? The Alamrsystem looks like the one in your Video. Greetings from Germany 🙂

Do you have the wiring diagram for the alarm? Was thinking of replacing stock alarm with VIPER alarm? Anyone do this successfully?

Will this hack remove central locking by remote control ?

Hi, I did this exactly! Now.... turn signals don’t work! I’m stuck!

Where can I order the chart showing the torque values?

Does the 99 have that alarm on it cuz I didn't see that on my bike

is this the same proceedure as an r1150rt

hi

Hi Kirk, I followed the instructions for my 05 but after I completed the steps and re-attached the battery my bike will not start. any suggestions?
