[Pictures] How to Install Remote Start?

Hello.

I bought a remote start alarm, and tried to install it myself. Not a "plug and play" thing as shown in this video as i thought:

This is my first ever bike, and I know nothing. Is there any tutorial with pictures and locations for what needs to be swaped out/cut?

I added Pictures to show you what Im trying to install.

Bike is SV650 2008 Naked.

Never seen the point of remote start on a bike.
On the sv you'll need to bypass the clutch lever switch (has to have clutch in to start). Then if yours is a carbed model, it will struggle to start from cold due to having a manual choke. Also I was told many years ago that starting a bike from cold leant over on the side stand to warm up isnt ideal.

Alarms on bikes are the spawn of the devil (imo). Mine has an alarm that arms itself after 10 seconds of the ignition being switched off and you cant de activate it completly, its a p.i.t.a! Fumbling around the petrol station trying get fuel cap unlocked and ignition back on b4 the 10 seconds is up aint fun. Then if you need owt from under the pillion seat the game starts again.
Did have a look at ripping it out but who ever fitted it did a proper job so I'll leave it alone.

Haha, 10 second at fuel pump sounds funny.

I am aware that I will need to by pass the clutch and add a resistor between 2 lines near ignition to by pass immobilizer.

But I would like to go back to basic steps,
I assume I would have to wire all wires individually, and cutting the existing wires. I took off the seats and gas tank, and there just so many wires, where do I connect what? Besides the basic Live and Neutral wires?

Thanks for the reply.

whats the point. all you are doing is unnecessary cutting into the loom which WILL cause problems later. why the hell would you want a remote start on a bike anyway. for remote start to work you will have to disable all the safety features such as the side stand etc.etc.. not a good idea.

is there no other way to connect without cutting the loom? Like stick the cable in to a connector? From which later on I could just pull out?

Afraid the only way is to splice into the loom. So if you are gonna do it, solder and heatshrink not twist and tape lol.

Thank you for clarifying, maybe I will just send in to a shop to install it...

You're also going to be by-passing the ignition switch and immobiliser, which may well invalidate your insurance (at least the theft part). My last few years policies have had explicit exclusions for remote starters.
Of course, if you're TPO, or never leave your bike unattended, then go for it.

Doesn't need a thief, if it gets accidentally left in gear or someone bumps the gear lever without you knowing, it'll take off down the road all on its own.
