Hi peeps ! I been thinking of fitting an Alarm/Immobolizer recently to my NSR. Has anyone else fitted one ? If you have one what kind do you recommend ? I asked about them in a motorbike shop and they said putting one on a 125 is pointless 'cause the batterys are so small they drain them real easy, then your fecked when you go to fire it up.
What are your views on Alarms........

I'd say an Alarm is good.....if the bike comes with one. I would never get one fitted at about £800. They're also right about it draining the battery on a 125, but at least that prevents the potential thief riding it away Wink

An insurance approved alarm/immobiliser will knock a few quid off your insurance premium (depends on your broker), but they generally don't do too much to prevent theft in today's society Sad

Although, having said that, it should stop the casual joy-riding thief. A decent immobiliser might also make hot-wiring a FireStorm a little harder Rolling Eyes

i fitted a "data tool veto evo" its the dogs dangelies as far as alarm/ imobilisers go (meta also do a good 1) saves me about £100 each year i inshure my nsr, also dont worry about the battery draining as long as your using the bike the recharge rate will more than compensate for what the alarm uses

I fitted an Acumen 911 alarm/immobiliser on my NSR then my RF. It's a great little alarm for under £100. Apart from the insurance it does pretty much the same as some more expensive one's. Easy to install and hardly drains the batt at all.

I had a spyball patriot on my nsr, if anyone touched it an alarm would sound and it would only shut down after using my keyfob, the alarm also acted as a full immobiliser. The battery drain reason is a load of shit, unless ou leave the bike in the garage for 3 months without using it the alarm wont drain the battery before you use it again on a daily basis.
