All alarms need to die.

Especially Datatool ones.

Got it on my CB500.
Does the job (along with everything it says on the tin, which is pretty cool), but the motion sensor is a real battery drainer (8Ah battery often reduced to flat in about a week - i suppose because i had to set it up to maximum sensitivity just to get it to actually detect objects close to the bike like it's supposed to) so i just use the "normal" shock/vibration alarm. Also noticed the keyfob range is not nearly what you'd expect (it's more like 50m than 3000m). Of note is the fact that the system (including the immobiliser) is very easily disabled (and doesn't require wires cut to put in). Bad for security - good in the way that you won't be stranded if it dies on you.
All in all it's OK for the money as it does everything it says it does (bar the range), but i'm going to save my pennies and go for a cheaper one next time https://www.motorbikealarm.co.uk/node/48

go with these https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CYCLONE-V2-MOTORBIKE-MOTORCYCLE-ALARM-IMMOBILISER-/200379831192?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2ea7919398
They are bike specific, the equipment is good and instructions that a girl could understand. \fitted one to my busa, cracking bit of kit IMO.

It's the non-talking version of the alarm i just linked.

Now do I want to mess with Ducati electrics? Thinking Laughing

The bike already has the factory Immob but no alarm
