Pretty sure not supposed to use hazard lights in motion except perhaps to help warn of hazard just ahead.

Read number 5, then read number 6.

What could possibly go wrong?

Certainly one of the rudest cheap alarm manufacturers I've had the displeasure of dealing with.

I don't have a problem with the alarm, well I do - I hate bike alarms, but it came fitted to the bike, and seems to do its job well enough - pain in the neck it is, but not sure I'm up to the task of uninstalling it - disconnected battery for now. And it might make it easier to sell the bike, maybe.

Just the monumental stupidity of encouraging anyone (let alone a newbie with a newly passed CBT) to take one had off of the controls, and then faff about trying to press a button on the key fob to make some flashing lights and noise, particularly as the immobilize button is on the same fob less than an inch away

I had one of these that i installed after my bike nearly got nicked. I bought it for the remote start function because my ignition barrel was broken off (the barrel worked, but couldn't mount it).

Being cheap I removed the barrel and relied on the remote start.

Turns out the battery in these fobs isn't actually incredible, which left me in a bit of a pickle one time

I wired in a hazard light switch to my zx9 either to use while filtering to make the bike more obvious or to say thanks when someone had moved away from me.

I was aware that someone only seeing one side could misconstrue it as a 'normal' indicator being used.

For the audio element; a full Akrapovic titanium exhaust system did work well - a couple of blips if needed.

I'd worry using an alarm for the same purpose that people would presume I'd stolen bike, with the current bike theft climate an' all.

actually, the 125 Zontes that this is on has hazard light switch anyway

Now forgive me if im wrong but....

If your following a vehicle at high speed and suddenly the bike in front puts hazard lights on, you going to assume hes pulling left and slowing to a stop (due to a problem)

not going right and accelerating round something.

As for the vehicle your overtaking, they probably wouldn't even notice or give a shit... probably too busy staring at sheep in a nearby field while doing 28mph in a 60 zone.

Seems like a confusing signal... not very helpful at all.
