I've had a prob with the imobaliser not working on a cheap alarm.

Seperate the two wires and the bike is stopped, but connected to the alarm and turn the alarm on and you still have power.

The remote start probably either isn't connected properly (there will probably be a 'start relay' which only activates when several conditions are met, you probably want it on the 'out' end of this.
Alternatively, you may not have power connected to the rest of the bike, which is usually required - there should be a wire which you can take from something on your fuse box which goes live when you turn the ignition.
