Hate computers why do they always eat your words!!
Anyway thanks for you input; the battery is a year old and this is the 3rd one this bike has had. i had hoped this year that by running the bike regularly and putting the alarm into sleep mode then this would prolong the life of the battery. even after a run for 30 mins results in a dead battery next time I try to start it even after only a week; on this instance it ran for 5 mins and then died. Since then i can only get one start out of it; from a fully charged battery it will start once but there if tried again straight after it won't start. What is frustrating is that my partners bike does not have this affliction this is why we were thinking that the alarm is drawing to much from the battery.
