One for the Legendary Kiwi ~ El Cheapo Alarm kit

[funmonkee]

...finally my cheap as alarm kit arrives from HK today

I just wanted a dead simple alarm that beeps if the bike is moved or sat on (f##k1n tourists). I'd have liked a wee LED to flash but this one is soo cheap it doesn't have that!...

So the alarm is here and it's got the red wire to connect to the red terminal (+) and the black wire to connect to the (-) negative So far so good

That should be me done... but oh noes it also has a Blue wire that is labelled "Head Lock"...

Okay I can/could and should ignore it. But it's getting the better of me now. The one page manual says nowt. The fob has a remote engine start button so I'm guessing this is what the blue wire is about. Which won't work with my Triple 'cos you have to pull the clutch to start it...

Hmmmnz, any ideas where I can attach this blue wire on a 2005 Speed Triple It would be nice if it did something...

it'll just be a momentary switched output, either positive or negative (usually positive tho) just meter it. Basically for as long as you hold the "start" button down the blue wire will have volts on it. So you could for instance (for a laugh) connect it to the horn so you can remotely activate that (that should shit the tourists up) If you wanted to run A higher current item just run it through a relay

Will do... when I get a chance

If it works out I'll be buying another at that price... shame it doesn't have the wee flashy LED

I just like the thought of having an alarm, my bike is always parked close enough to my house that id be able to hear it and run out to sort the chavs out. seems like it has all the basic features you would need to stop any petty theft or at least scare them away from trying.

An immobilizer will put off a lot of theives - if they can't get the bike running, they'll usualy drop it like a hot stone. Just a basic switch spliced into one of the coil wires and hidden somewhere reachable under the tank or rear mudguard should do it.

[funmonkee]

Right, hooked up the alarm to the bike in 2 minutes. tried it out. Fairly decent sound when sat on or moved. However... I would like to wire it in properly so that when the ignition is on the alarm automatically disarms or is activated-forcing me to deactivate it. This is to stop me riding off with the alarm going

Apart from my wish to wire it up properly..I'd buy another

^ No idea. My installation consisted of attaching a couple of ring connectors; one to the red and one to the black wire. Then bolting these to the battery terminals. Job done

[hmmmnz]

what do you want the remote wire to do??
as stated you could get it to start the bike, beep the horn, i could probably come up with a circuit that could deliver a high voltage shock.... (low current, not dangerous, just a fright)

haha i jus bout 1 of these slightly more expencive 1 tho £20your blue wire is deffinately the starter wire so hook it up to something maybe run it through a relay to increse the power and put the power through the ignithion barrl so when some one trys to put a screwdriver through it 'BUZZZZ' that will teach the chavs lol

[funmonkee]

mine is in a speed triple. Working fine. especially for the tiny cost

i dont think that there all that effective cos if some 1 realy wants it they can just cut the wire to the + but its a good deterent to tourists and chavs hain a quick go at it

[funmonkee]

[lonie]

ha lol we have a big problem with chavs sitting our bikes round here preteending they own them untill you walk up and push them off it and tell em to ~@%! off thats why mine went on that and its parked rkight outside where i work so i can see it so when a chav sitts on it i press the allarm buton and it beeps at em its funny to watch them crap themselves

[Ragnaco]

ok, so my alarm came in the post today smaller then I thought but meh having a few issues, I have it wired up to my cbr600 at the moment the blue wire is just left hanging as the carbs are out and I don't want to tick the bike over by mistake on the remote start

I'm having an issue with the sensitivity settings by default it is just not good enough and even a hard knock wont set it off unless its directly above the unit I can't seem to use my remote to get into the sensitivity stage selection mode wondering if any of you have managed to do this or if you could try it for me?

This is what the manual tells me to do

This is their remote

This is mine
https://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/Ragnaco/2010-01-19181118.jpg

Anyone got any ideas? It seem's any dual button pressing options the manual tells you to do, do not work for me on both remote's am I pressing it wrong?
I tried both the manuals image remote and my remote buttons for the mode selections, nothing.
Thanks in advance
Ragnaco

f##k the alarm dude, you need to see a doctor if you hands are THAT yellow!

Back on topic; I'm happy with the alarm I bought and was about to buy another, but... the seller hasn't come back re my question.. "Are the alarm/fobs on unique frequencies?". If I buy another will I disarm any bikes fitted with this cheapo alarm or are the fobs unique to each alarm

bad lighting (energy saving bulbs) and oily hands I'm afraid + a crappy phone camara

Would you care to test to see if you can put the alarm in to the sensitivity select stage?

i have a very similar alarm on the rs.(though it does have a little red led. )
looks like its wired right into the starter relay, as its got the immobiler function + remote start.
looks like its been done professionally, as its very tidy + its wired in a manner which would be above most diy'ers.
i fitted something similar to a previous bike.
+ it really was just a matter of connecting it to the battery + cutting into the loom as per the poorly translated instructions.
recommended as a cheap deterrent.
cheers,
GAZ

[lonie]

its not working beacoase you havent connected the start wire i dint know the exact reason but mine did the same untill i conected the starter wire

[Ragnaco]

No, it's ok I figured it out, apparently their meaning of 3 seconds is really about 10, stood there holding it for ages and managed to keep it to change sensitivity, now even a ant walking on it will set it off, 10 minutes after getting it all sorted some wierdo walks down my garden and starts looking at the bike without even knocking on my door, sets the alarm of and just keeps looking at it, I walk out and ask what he's up to, the cheek of him he just starts asking what am I doing with the bike, "its not taxed or mot'ed mateeeee" (how does he know...) and just keeps asking if I'm selling it...
I think I'll be keeping an eye on that..
