How Do You Fit An Imobiliser?

[crazymotorbik...]

Hey,

I've just bought a new, cheap alarm off eBay. Its one of the cheetah ones.

I bought and fitted this alarm to my old bike with no problems. The immobilizer circuit was fitted between the coil and broke the circuit when set. This was easy to do and worked as there was only one coil.

I've now got a 4 cylinder bike and im not sure where to connect the immobilizer. Fitting it to one coil will be useless as the bike will still fire on 3 cylinders.
Do i connect the immobilizer between the ignitor box main power wire? If not how do i need to connect this immobilizer?

Cheers,
Shaun

Unless there's something completely nuts about your bike, each coil will have two low tension wires plus the high tension lead. One of the low tension wires on each coil will be common with each of the others - trace them back to a single point and insert your break there.

A wiring diagram always helps

the immob wires do they go short or open when the alarms set as a lot of units out there all do the same ie when alarm on the 2 immob wires short out via a relay

Hi,

When its immobilised the relay clicks in breaking the connection.
When the imobilisers off the circuit is complete again.

hi
if your certian about the switching then
connect the immobilizer between the ignitor box main power wire
that'll do it

call me nuts but doesn't that sort of make immobilisers worthless in that if you bloody well know how to fit them you bloody well know how to remove them , with bike wires being easy to get to and all while new fandangled car imobies are more complex.
