Hydrolastic appears to be the source of good information on this topic. That’s wonderful because I don’t do bike alarms at all.
Go with what he says. 👌👍🙏
EDITED 4/28/24. (I wrote this from my bad memory and I made a mistake. The 1200 engined bikes with 8v engines utilize hybrid Canbus on the ABS circuit only. Not the brake light. The 1400’s utilize the hybrid CanBus on the brske curcuit. This is visible on the wiring diagram as a twisted pair...

There are many things people who come here have...
Yes, occasionally one or more of my rods will exhibit some stiction.
As a compensatory mechanism to alleviate the issue, I have just gotten used to shaking the unit up and down a few times to make sure that the tubes move freely. I’ve never failed to get everything moving just like it is...
Ugh. If I could make 1 thing disappear from the Earth right now, it would be dielectric grease.
Nobody I have ever met, actually understands what this stuff really is and what it is supposed to be used for.
Everybody thinks it is for electrical wires. It is not!
Please read the post I made...
