Datatool alarms, well there a fuck load of good ant they!

[GearboxGeezer]

My mate has just had is Brand New Husky 125 Supermoto stolen from right out his front door ( and in a difficult place to manouver the bike softly...

The Datatool alarm certainly didnt go off, as its pretty defening.

This was during the afternoon, about 3-5pm at Middlesex, Hillingdon. Yellow And Blue ( Think its the Husquvarna racing colours ) Blue seat. Black metal tax disc holdeR ( ones from halfords ) Reg is If you know anything about this LKO6 LTO.

If anyone knows anything about this, Please tell me as soon as possible ( pm or somthing )

And if your involved with stealing this bike, then do the smart thing and leave it near where you stole it, or abandon it without damage and tell the police where it is from a phone box or somthing. Because this boys from a rather violent family, and you will be rammed off the road if your riding it.

He doesent goto Brunel Uni does he? was seeing a similar bike around over the last few weeks... not recently though...

[paulodd]

sorry to hear it was stolen!

Datatool are truely sh*t!!!

You have to be really close to arm/de-arm them,
if theres a police/ambualance station nearby the fobs dont work and you have to push the bike 100 yards down the road and try again or get the fob as close to the box as poss.
its easy to rip out the alarm and immobiliser
very expensive
if someone stealling it puts the bike into a refrigirator van then the alarm cant be heard

soz hear bout the bike missing, can't imagine anyone here being connected, the amount of bike stolen post over last few months is alerting and more so the comments left in comfort, this forum is a bike chat forum, not a bike 'nick' forum so had to say that, as for the alarm, my brother had a cheap sh1t chinese alarm on his ts125, but local scum came took bike at 9am one morning, alarm was so effective, we forgot he had it on!

anyways, hope it get's found/returned good luck

theiving scumbags, what did happen to capital punishment, hands + axe = they might think twice next time they see a bike not tied down.

I've got a Datatool system 3 on my GPZ and it's excellent. Motion alarm beeps always go off if chavs touch my bike or if a friendly cager clonks it with his door. Full reaction if people continue to mess with it.

If I happen to be off site when I return and disarm the bike the beeps let me know if anything has happened - I can then inspect for damage or nails placed under the tyres.

And if the bike breaks down, pressing both buttons activates hazard warning lights - essential to warn others at night or in poor visibility.

I usually combine the alarm with a decent chain and U-lock when parking in known dodgy areas. Yes, it was expensive but I'm happy with it and would certainly have another one fitted to my next bike.

Yep, same here.

Strong winds set the thing off too.

A few warning beeps are loud enough to make people look and then the full reaction will make people run, or give you time to do something.

Seen the exact bike a few weeks ago parked up in Uxbridge town centre. Could even be the one, I suppose. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I never heard of the police/ambulance interference before either

[Johnny GSX-R]

I would be more inclined to say 'User Error' maybe it wasn't armed.
My old Datatool Veto Evo was £400 and i had to arm it myself, the immobiliser kicked in after 40 seconds but the alarm had to be activated.

As for pushing it 100 yards, my Mercedes was the same on occasion, try shoving 1 1/2 ton of Germany's finest 100 yards, thats with Mercs own alarm fitted.

You shouldn't really just rely on alarm to stop someone stealing a bike. The best defence is usually something physical such as chaining to something that doesn't move.

How do you know that the alarm didn't go off, maybe you just didn't hear it? Or maybe it wasn't set in the first place. I don't think its fair to blame the alarm without knowing all of the facts

Having used paulodds fob his was a complete bastard to arm/disarm. Had to be literally within a foot of the box. Whereas my older veto evo I can arm/disarm from a good 20m away.

I've never had any problems with my datatool alarm. Other than it's not as sensative as it used to be since I rebuilt my bike. May be my positioning of it or something.

But it /has/ stopped my bike being stolen once (that I know of).

I would consider it a big plus point if a bike had a datatool alarm in future.

Im looking for a good alarm and i was told on the phone iff the datatool alarm failed (iff this was possible) they would pay for the bike and alarm, maybe you should give data tool a ring and see what they say, on the subject off alarms im looking to get a alarm but im on a low budget any ideas?
THANKS,

Hey,

All my bikes have had a cheap alarm off ebay installed, there called cheetah.

One night some kids tried to nick my bike from outside my house, the alarm went off and i chased them off. Plus it only cost me £30.

At the end of the day an alarms an alarm, as long as it makes a noise when ur bikes moved thats all that matters. If they want ur bike that badly even the worlds most expensive alarm will not stop them.

Cheers,
Shaun

I had one of those, they're worth the money, doesn't save you any insurance but it might save your bike in the same way my datatool one saved mine.
