FITTING THE MAGIC ALARM, IMMOBILISER HELP NEEDED!

So i was cruising ebay looking for a decent, (but not wallet raping) good alarm system for my bike. i own a honda nsr 125 02 reg painted up in HM Plant colours, obviously me being 17 i ahvent got a pot of gold to replace my bike with nor do i have a sizeable bank balance to afford a brand new datatool system 1,2,3 etc.

anyways to the point, i bourght a magic alarm system from motorbikealarm .com and found it really great value for money, key fobs, 12 months warrenty, good cables and some very nice features. ive fitted the alarm and wired it to my indicators but am scared to even think of touching my ignition incase i wreck it through inexperiance. this is where you guys step in, i need to know (preferablly from some1 with a bit sparky knowledge) to explain to me how i could install it? it also has remote start?

get back to me if you need more info and thanks alot (in advance) for the help.

I really can't think how we can be more help to you than you reading and rigerously following the instructions.

You've just partially connected it up, is that right? It would help to give more details of which wires you have managed with and which ones you are struggling with.

I would be very reluctant to fit an immobiliser through the ignition system unless you have no other alternative.

Most of these alarms are generic and are pretty easy to fit. Does the manual have a wiring diagram at the back? Do you have a wiring diagram for your bike? If the answer is no to any of these then you have a problem. If the answer is yes to both then pm them to me and I'll tell you which goes where.

Hardest part is breaking into the loom for the ignition and starter, you could use scotchlock connectors but they can fail. I prefer to strip and solder the wire in then shrink tube it.

These alarms don't tend to 'own' the bike so when they fail the bike will still start and run, not the most secure system but better than nothing. Biggest problem with them is that its easy to blow a fuse, for instance if the ignition is on and you press the remote start.

Hi again sorry for delay in gettin back, yea i have wiring diagram for both alarm and my bike (nsr 125) i know it aint the most secure but like you said its better than nothing, i was thinking of connecting them properly using a crimping tool? and the correct connectors (if i can get em...?)

You could crimp them but you are running a higher risk of electical failure. As noted it takes about ten minutes with a soldering iron to ensure a good connection, but the joints ought to be heat sleeved. Electrical tape just looks a bodge and effectively is.
If you are using connectors try using the bullitt type, then if you have a failure you can disconnect the system altogether easily.

Hi, just pm me the wiring diagrams, just need to check its of a similar type to the ones i've fitted.

If you've connect the indicators and the power leads then the alarm is done, just the immobiliser and remote start/stop to sort. From memory I think you have four wires left? If so then its quite possible to use just two of them to get it all going, just a matter of where you connect them.
