Hey Mr Knees

It's arrived, thanks muchly!

Love the little remote, just point it at the bike and it's all armed.

If I can just figure out what to with the little grey box and the coloured wires etc, why do they put so much extra packaging in these box's? I presume I just put them in a corner somewhere out of the way........

The steel mate saved my bike, started screeming its head off so someone dumped it and jumped back in the van when someone pulled in behind them.


Witnesses got van details, police have been looking for it, stolen.

it works.

Fits well in my ZZR 400.

PM me mate, I have two sitting here ready for some new owners...Ican get more in too!

I'm just fitting one of these to my bike.

Anyone know what the ORANGE wire connects to? The wiring schematic says ENGINE LOCK (+). Jaycar can't tell me.

[Max Preload]

Ok. For anyone that's interested, the ORANGE wire is the tamper trigger. It needs to be hooked into the accessory circuit. If the ignition is switched on without the alarm being deactivated, the trigger sets the alarm off and immobilises the ignition system.

I'm quite impressed with this unit for it's price. The knock sensor is great - I had no falsing even from passing fart cannon-equiped cars, yet a gentle tap on the seat and the 3 warning beeps were issued. The remotes work at a fairly good distance too. The only thing I'd change would be the LED - the housing slides into a hole you drill, and the LED pushes into it from behind. The trouble it it doesn't lock so it can easily be pushed back out and depending on where it is positioned there may be some disassembly required to refit it. Easily solved though - use a bezel instead. The horn is quite ear piercing and loud too, and there is plenty of wire on the supplied loom. Oh, and the fuse for the 12V feed is in the wrong place - it's too far from the source. I recommend using another fuse adjacent to the supply (5A is enough).

This alarm just failed (the ignition immobiliser operated while on the SATNR last night between Twilight Road and Mill Road). It did it on the last SATNR I went on too, between Clevedon & Maraetai and has also been falsing occassionally for the last few months.

It's still under warranty, if I can find the receipt. I've by-passed the ignition immobiliser and that's the way it'll probably stay even if I do get a replacement.
