Are you a member of the Russian Mafia, or perhaps and arab oil shiek?
Otherwise, why in gods name would you want to buy something that will allow your bike/car to be started while you are not anywhere near it, thus allowing easy ample stealing opportunities for theifs?

Dont Get One.
There is No reason to at all, and it can be fucking dangerous.
Imagine this for instance:
You park up in town, your in a rush to be somewhere so you leave the disclock off and walk away from your bike. Put the keys in your pocket and go to where your supposed to be.
On the way back you enter the range for your remote, the key fob is being compressed in your pocket and the button is depressed. Your bike is left in gear, it jolts forward trying to start, boom. Your bikes on the floor.

all the remote starters wire up to your Sidestand switch , they won't start while it's in gear.
most bike won't move if the sidestands down.
TBH i'd get one, then you can get rid of the iginition barrel  ____________________ Turbo R1

I don't have a sidestand switch, and my bike will start in gear.
So you want to sit on the bike, fumble around trying to find your little keyfob, realise you can't press the button with your gloves on, take your gloves off, press the button, your bike starts, get your gloves back on, miss your pocket when putting the keyfob away, bend over to find the keyfob, in doing so you fall off your bike, find keyfob, put it in pocket, ride off.
Or you could turn a key.
If you're about to suggest starting it while getting your gear on, think about what you said about the sidestand switch, you have to be sitting on the bike to start it, according to you.

Carvell grow up with the eejit remarks ok?
take a look at this keyfob, ignition on, ignition off, lights, remote start etc.
i've fitted one to a bike before and couldn't fault it, if your bike doesnt have a sidestand sensor then you can wire it up to your Neutral light. some even go to a sensor in your gearbox to tell if your in neutral https://www.dragondistributing.com/pictures/mars22.jpg ____________________ Turbo R1

here's another example, this has a cover on it so you don;t press the buttons accidentaly like you said.
try not to argue about stuff if you've never read about them or had one yourself

Why though, a bit of a waste of time and imo not needed.
I can sometimes see the point in cars, ie in the winter months remote start the car to warm it up!
But on the bike?
If its in a garage would you want it to idle while you dress, surely not, if its outside and you remote start it you risk getting it stolen.
Its just for showing off?

I still don't see the point if they don't start up the bike when the side stand is down, I mean, you may as well have a key.
And as I said before, if you start it from further away than a few feet then get distracted (someone talking to you, mobile phone ringing etc) then how easy will it be for someone to make off with your bike.
They're not worth the money, in my opinion. ____________________ Colin McRae MBE 1968 - 2007 RIP

Right,
Sit down, Calm down, and shut up for a second.
The reason i am saying all this, and what is behind all the stuff ive been saying, is because i have owned one myself, and know of others too.
Now the problems that can occur with these things are all too common. All those pictures you have posted are of car ones aswell btw.
Now, the sidestand switch arguement - It happened to me, luckily my bike was in the garage at the time and fell onto my work bench, so never hit the floor - Was a lucky escape.
Remote in the pocket - Happened to me, luckily i had left it in neutral so it was allright.
Ignition - With the one i have, and others i have seen, they actually bypass the ignition circuit on a motorcycle, thus allowing you to push the remote button without turning the key for the ignition.
So dont try telling me i dont know what im on about. My posts have been to warn this guy of problems that occur. If he so wishes to get one anyay, then good luck to him. Hopefully he wont have the same problems i have.
For you to be so blind as to ignore the problems that can occur and the dangerous implecations, is just downright unfair to the person who is interested in finding out honest oppinions of these products. ____________________ CBT Aug '03 ... Gilera GSM 50 ... Honda NSR 125 Aug '04 ...
