Hi, what a life saver this post has been for me, got the bike out the garage the yesterday, got my gear on, pressed the alarm fob and ……..nothing. Nada, not a thing, spent 20 minutes or so trying to arm/disarm the 15 year old Meta 357 TV2. Found this post and rang Abacus to see if they still stocked the replacement system. Ordered the battery backup version yesterday and it arrived first thing this morning, removed the old and fitted the new, bike fired up first press of the starter. What a relief, all sorted thanks to you, thanks for the great info!!

Great informative post, thank you.
My Meta M357TV2 alarm stopped responding and after 14 years since the original installation. I first changed the fob battery thinking this was the culprit. but alias not so! Since discovering your post and link to Amazon and Abacus alarms, I have ordered a bypass plug from Abacus at £31 which will enable me to remove the alarm and not have to mess with unsoldering wiring etc and not have to worry about alarm issues going forward.
For information: A replacement alark from Amazon is £99 but you will have to modify the wiring as the sockets are not a straight connection. Abacus alarms do a straight swap unit with two new fobs at £153.

In reply to Vangelis Dedousis. Sorry, I already sold the bike and the various alarm spares that I had with it. Good luck finding the parts!

hi Arthur! years ago when you bought the Meta M357 Replacement This unit comes with a custom made plug & play adapter loom. i guess you didnt use this adapter loom since you had the same alarm fitted on your bike! i would really appreciate if you could let me know if you still have it cause it would be soooo useful to me!
you see I have a faulty Gemel E587 alarm fitted on my 2005 BMW R1150 GS. i have bought the Meta M357T V2 Alarm but i havent installed it yet! cause i dont have the adapter loom that allows me to use the wiring of the bikes’ old alarm (Gemel E587) with a brand new and unused Meta M357TV2 alarm system i have!
i called Abacus Alarms and i was informed they dont make it any more!

so it would be soooo useful to me if you have this adapter

In reply to Yomi. I had the same problem on my 2006 fz6 today,the bike was turning over but not starting ,I had no ignition lights only the green neutral light ,also no pump noise I checked the fuses and found the ignition fuse had blown,I replaced the fuse but it kept blowing,I disconnected the meta 357t v2 alarm unit and fitted another fuse but didn't blow again ,the bike started and ran fine,I must have a short circuit inside the alarm unit so I'm going to order a new unit.

In reply to Rich. Hi Rich, I have a ten year old RSV factory with M357TV2 now playing up. Engine cranks over but no sparks even with large car battery jumped on. Was this like your experience, my alarm sounds strong and clear but having checked out everything sensor wise am now running out of ideas. Feedback much appreciated. Mitch.

Hi Arthur,

I was thinking of buying a new alarm to replace my M357T V2 but just want to make sure. My problem started with my Yamaha FZ6 2005 when the horn stopped working. Whilst checking the fuses, I took out the Main fuse under the tank. Now the bike would not start. When I turn the ignition into the ON position, no priming noise from the fuel pump. When I press the starter button, the engine cranks up but never starts.

Some of my colleagues reckons because I removed the Main fuse it kicked in the immobiliser. Some people said that if it was the immobiliser, the engine won’t crank up, it would be like the kill switch is ON.

When I called Abacus, the guy said to check the battery. I have checked the voltage on the bike’s battery and it’s reading between 12.95 – 13.01.

When AA came, the man said no power going into the fuel pump.

Any ideas?

In reply to jason leo. TBH the new alarm was supplied with two fobs. One that attaches over the key and one separate key ring one. So you could choose to keep them separated as you mention (and a good idea too BTW).
