I have just had the alarm fitted on my new bike. It came with a small key fob and another key fob that can be converted into a key fob but that was all that came with it there was no conversion kit??

i asked my dealer last time i was there about this - but my key was not compatible, for a Yamaha R6 2003 anyway - has immobiliser chip in the key, and therefore cannot be done

The key fob can be converted but i am not sure how tbh. I think I need a spare key then get it cut then stick it in side the fob. Dont think I will bother now as its ok the way it is.

In the alarm box you get a couple of extra alarm fob casings. You then cut up your key to fit inside, gut the original fog and put the innards in the new fob. Find the new fob falls apart when you twist it to turn the key so take it apart and superglue it together. Then the battery dies so you break the fob case, put the innards back in the original case if you still have it and your left with the stub of a key. Simple Wink

You need to make sure that the key conversion will work okay with your ignition switch first. My bike, which is a 2003 R6 won't accept the key conversion. I don't want to dispute what Wooly R6 posted above, but because of the shape of the ignition switch on the R6, ie the key slot is recessed down inside the outer casing, the Meta key conversion won't work because the Meta casing is physically too chunky to fit down into the recess. Apart from that I understand that there is a slot inside the meta fob to put the immobiliser chip in from your original key, so that shouldn't be a problem.

So then sickpup, do the Datatool's do key conversions as well as the Meta's? I'll let you into a little secret, one of my mates who has his Meta has also got the key conversion. I must admit that I wasn't too impressed with the key conversion on the Meta, the key never seemed very secure or tightly fitted in the Meta fob and didn't inspire confidence in it. On the other hand it was more convenient, ie you didn't have to have the extra alarm fob dangling on your keyring as well as your ignition key.

I think it might be you trying to initiate dejá vu.

No datatool don't do a key conversion. The give you a nice quality lanyard to hang around your neck so the fob doesn't get damaged.

You shouldn't ever have the fob on your key ring as it may get damaged by vibration and small impacts.

Is it just me that thinks having your alarm fob and key on the same key ring is a bad idea?
If someone swipes it, they have your bike with no problems - seperate key rings for each is the way to go!

Personally I never seperate my alarm fob from my bike key, I always have visions of losing the alarm fob and being well and truely f**ked. I have heard stories before of people with their fob seperate to their key who have disarmed their alarm, started their bike and disappeared off out on a rideout without realising that they have left their alarm fob on the shelf in the garage etc. This problem then only becomes apparant when you need to disarm your alarm/immobilser 50 miles away from home, only to realise that you have forgotton your alarm fob. Shocked

Also whilst we are on the subject, I picked up a tip a few years back about a handy way to 'secure' your alarm fob whilst attached to your bike key to stop it from getting battered about. Basically you attach a small piece of velcro to the underside of the alarm fob and attach another small piece of velcro to the yoke of your bike adjacent to the ignition. Thus you can place your fob on the yoke securely whilst riding and it won't get knocked about. I also figure that they must be waterproof so I don't see too much of a problem. Just to illustrate it I have found you a picture of my yoke/ignition (the picture was actually taken to show the steering damper), with its bit of velcro stuck on.
