Best Motorcycle Alarm
2016-11-07 01:45:52 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
I have a Datatool Systen 3 fitted to my Suzuki Bandit. It cost an extra £369 when the bike was new 4 years ago. It's a great alarm and covers just about every aspect of the bike. Only trouble is, it eats batteries for a pastime (I'm now on my 3rd). Next bike will be a Yamaha and they have the YISS immobiliser fitted as standard, so I'm moving away from an "add on" alarm as the insurance will be the same on the Yam whether I have the add on alarm or not! PS, I would add that the bike lives in a VERY secure garage and I would not hesitate to inflict much pain and suffering upon any prospective thieving pikey scumbag who might have half an idea about trying to nick it !!!

"The King of the Car Thieves" said that it didn't much matter what kind of car alarm you had if he really wanted the car. I assume motorcycle alarms are about the same. After all, when was the last time you saw someone get excited about a car alarm going off?
Seriously, the best motorcycle security system I've ever seen is a mean German Shepard tied to the the bike.

Alarm whilst you are out on the bike to keep it safe whilst away would ask insurance company for approved devises
Whilst at home keep out of sight of prying eyes and have a top house alarm that extends to the garage
Trackers are OK but you don't want it stolen in the first place
Physical deterant locks and chain if you don't mind carrying them. I use disc locks when out but away from the bike they are quite small and light. Plus the factory alarm is a smart alarm(key needs to be within 8 feet or it alarms) plus I will have a tracker fitted when my new ride arrives
Either way you really need something to hold on to your ride

Lojack if it is an expensive chopper or custom. Other than that keep it out of site and in a safe place. Not locked up next to a pole or in a friends carport. I have helped with recovering all types of stolen bikes and any alarm other than something that makes noise. You want stealthy and that the police will be able to tack. Oh cylinderic keys made for the ingition help with amatuer bike thiefs. Ride safe and please do not ride with a gun on you. Not safe when you fall at any point in time. I have seen it all. Peace D.

the data tool sys 3 or 4 is good plus you can spen an extra 200 pound and have the text alert service so if your bike gets tampered with it will text you. you can then send a signal for the alarm to sound or notify the police. plus you can select friends numbers too so if your on holiday it will text them for you and they can act on your behalf.
the datatool is a little confusing to use especially the sys 4 but its a good system. you will get pressure sensors on the seats so if they cant not set the alarm off. it has an alarm and immobiliser which you can set seperatly.. i have one on my k6 gsxr. locks can be broken so can garage doors. the alarm is that bit extra especialy with the text alerts.

Although if money really is no object you could just hire a couple of these guys to look after it for you. Should be safe enough;

Hedgeybear, have you tried using an optimate? I have mine connected all the time when bike not in use & use timer switch to turn on during night when electricity cheaper. Makes a huge difference. One of these is cheaper than a decent battery!

I'd say that some kind of alarmed trailer safe to store the bike in would be best.

instead of an alarm which can be by passed install a lojack tracking device. the thief won't knowits there and your bike will be recoverd in short order. usualy within 24 hrs
