Alarm options..
 

Been into my local Suzuki delaer today who quoted £360 for a Datatool S4 Cat1 alarm to be fitted to an SV.

Just wondered if anybody could advise me on a different cheaper alarm and do some companies come out to you and fit it as they do with a car?

I'm going to be moving soon and it's possible my new bike will have to be kept outside :(

i got my s4 fitted for £350 and so far its been excellent. Theres alot of garages trying to get rid of the s3, as its old stock, i'd imagine you could negotiate a fair discount on one. The meta alarms get a good write up.
few points to remember
1. Easier to sell your bike when it has one fitted
2. Insurance discount (although its not huge)
3. fitting a really cheap alarm will cause loads of problems, nearly everyone i know who'ss had one done has spent as much money as me fixing subsequent electrical problems, its a false economy.

Cheers dude, i had the S4 fitted on my Aprilia RS125 and didn't have any probs with that either so may go with what I know.. Found a place who will supply and fit it for £299.

i hate alarms.

Don't bother it won't stop them from knicking it!! Data tag it instead!

I fitted the Cyclone C11 to mine for £30.

Took me a while to get it sorted & working properly.

But it's £30 that has saved my bike from an attempted theft. I heard the alarm going whilst I was in the office :)

Really hope you don't fall off when the immobiliser suddenly operates while you're riding it as suggested by someone else about cheap alarms :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The imobiliser in mine isn't hooked up to the bike :) Neither is the remote start.

Why?

Knowing me, I'd get in the habbit of parking up in neutral & starting the bike as I cross the road to get to it, having put my gear on in the office.

One day, it'd be in gear when I did that :(

Immobilisation is prone to cause headaches too. So for that reason, it just literally acts as a tilt/tamper sensor :)
