This is not a smart *** question but did you have your fob with you when you turned on the ignition? If not, the siren will go off after a few seconds.

Just did this this afternoon - not a problem here. Sure you have the black wire in the right place? Mine went in the center hole. The wire looked green with a darker stripe, the right wire (empty space) looked darker with a greenish stripe. Don't know what else it could be.

Hmmm... sounds like you have it wired correctly. Are you sure you're on the right connector? Left side? Do the turn signals flash as well? The siren should "chirp" as you turn the ignition on and off or arm/disarm. Can you still start the bike with the siren going off?

Danng - any chance it's a variation of the siren but not the right one? From my receipt, #2730079.
Edit - something else to think about - it's a $6.00 part after all, maybe the siren is shorted?
