Hey,

I am getting a 2010 YBR tomorrow and have bought an alarm to fit straight away. All I want is a loud noise and flashing indicators when disturbed, no immobiliser etc.

I found a post on here that gave a quick guide to getting this installed but just wanted to ask here before I give it a go.

Am I right in saying that all I have to do here is connect the red wire to the pos terminal on the battery, earth both of the black ones, and connect the yellow ones to the indicators??

Thanks

Just another look and the black one without the ring on its own, could be the antenna?? Guessing that doesn’t go to the earth lol

If you bought the alarm from N Cook Security, you should have specific instructions for your bike - but you only need these for the advanced functions.

For the basic functions :-

Red wire with in-line fuse goes to permanent live at the battery.
Black wires go to earth - you only need one, as they are connected internally, but if you do only use one, tape the other up with the other unused wires.
Yellow wires go to the live side of the indicators.

Tape the ends of the unused wires, and bundle them up, out of harms way, in case you decide to use the immobiliser and remote-start functions later.

This^^^ Thumbs Up

The shorter black wire without a ring is the antenna, and if you can be bothered, find a permanent live somewhere that isn't at the battery terminal, it makes it harder for thieves to remove alarm later.

Maybe the design has changed, but on mine, the antenna wire is brown and has a small loop at the end, and is clearly marked with an 'ANT' lable. It also comes out of the control unit on it's own, separate from the other wires.

Just looked at the Website and the new model's wiring (and fobs) does look different to mine - so best check the instructions Smile

I'm thinkng about getting one for my bike, however I'll be putting the permanant live into a wire in the fusebox, anything security I never go straight to the battery, but that may just be me.

The permanent live on the Cyclone has it's own in-line fuse - so you are safe to connect it direct to the battery, or you could pick up a permanent live from the starter relay or the un-fused side of the fusebox - you don't need 2 fuses in the circuit. Standby current drain is minimal - and when the bike is switched off, is when you need the alarm to work anyway.

It's always a good idea to connect accessories through a separate fuse, so you can easily isolate it if you get a problem.

Higher current accessories, like heated grips and spot-lights, should be wired through a relay.

Sorry should have elaberated, i meant the unfused side of the fuse box, or any other permanent live.

I just dont like going straight to the battery, especially when i fit trackers, whole point is to keep them hidden.

That black wire in the pic with no terminal definitely has a tag attached saying 'ANT'.
