Mongoose MCA500. Bought mine from Repco and had friend who owns a Car Audio/Security store install it for me. Get a mercury switch as well. Cheap from DSE. Have it wired into the alarm (there is a function for it on the alarm) and you'll have a tilt switch as well.

They're the best value dedicated bike alarm, but the mercury switch isn't effective with a centrestand.

Rapid Radio below Coleman's on K' rd.. talk to Mark and tell him i sent ya.. i think about the $400-$500 range installed for a top of the line alarm

I was noly thinking about this the other day, and wondered what people used as security. Lock up garages, alarms, chains and anchor bolts, pitbulls etc. When I lived in Dublin, I kept my bike in the front room of the house next to the telly, a bit inconvient but it never got knicked.

Surely if the bike was moved off it's stand and moved around the mercury switch would still do it's job?

[Lou Girardin]

You'd think so, but the installer at Mongoose said they had lots of falsing when they tried it. They shock sensor is quite sensitive though, rolling a bike off the centrestand would trigger that.

i think over all, i don't think most of nz bikes really need an alarm, the ones that 95% of time get stolen are dirtbikes, harleys, or 250/400

Its rear for really a bigger size bike to dispear in nz(yes i know has been done and is doable), but less likey to happen

Complete with tilt switch, it works a treat.

I got it from the local alarm installer and fitted it myself, I didn't have to pay for it as I am always helping him out with car wiring problems.

I will find out how much they are and post a price for the alarm and fitting.:yes:

[jtzzr]

Damn thats cheap,will have a look next time I`m on the shore,what prices do the mongoose go for? Hey Markauckland can you fit those mate?

[dawnrazor]

$149 for a datatool...that is a mental deal...do you get insurance discounts for having an alarm.

Alarms arnt tooo tricky to install - i havnt tried one on a bike but in a cage its pretty straightfoward.

Never having a bike or a car stolen I have to ask are the alarms worth it? On tv they seem to steal anything. IF i'm parking in an unsecured place I use a big chain and park it where people see it. Im not sure if anyone would care if they saw someone with some big bolt cutters and then loading it into a truck/van/watever though.....

[Biohazard]

A big bad arsed Dog would do the trick, and he'd get the exercise running after you on your journeys...anything upto a 80cc and they'll be fine, dont want sore feet now do we :doobey:

But yas may need to alarm the dog though,a s I hear they get pinched aswell.....might start a new thread, alarms for dogs :innocent:

My Fireblade came fitted with a Datatool alarm and immobilser, damn thing has a mind of it's own! But it's very good, I can't even put my foot on the footpeg without it telling me to sod off!!

[myvice]

Got a Datatool with the new toy.
Not a cheap option but worth having...

[phaedrus]

i've got a good anti theft system. I park beside a well known brand. I also plonked an alarm in, and wired a relay to the ignition killer wires (buggered if i'm going to buy an "ignition killer module")

Star Insurance has a $0 excess with the DataDots.. $99 for those at most bike shops

Hi, I bought a bike that has this Datatool system 3 alarm, the worst nightmare is I have to start my bike everyday in order to keep the battery charged as this alarm drains the battery very quickly so I am just wondering this is normal??

[Mike.Gayner]

Get full insurance and move somewhere less shit. Sleep soundly.
