Default I need help!!

I have a 93 sportser 883, and I think someone was messing with my bike now my alarm is going off. I can't for the life of me figure out how to shut it off. Can anyone shine light on this for me thanks!!

It's gotta be an aftermarket alarm. The '93s didn't have a factory option. Unless you can figure that out, you'll have a hard time finding help here. It's quite the crapshoot.

My foolproof way to shut it off would be to just trip/disconnect all the breakers.

Did you cange your battery recently? becuase I faced the same problem with my 2012 2 days ago and I figured that the battery wires was not tightned enough and the alarm was going off whenever the wire move.

If you have an alarm you need to find as much about it as you can! There will be a module somewhere on your bike that hopefully has some branding on it.

Are you sure your horn is not shorted out somehoww? I'm not aware of a security system on a 1993 bike. I can't recall ever hearing of someone installing one.
