Default Which Alarm?

Opinions and reviews please folks..

Looking at fitting an alarm to the SV with easy fitting / value for money in mind.. i.e. I'd maybe like a couple of Gucci extras (prox sensors for example) but I dont need the bike to ride a theif back to my house in handcuffs in the event of a theft.. just a wooOOooOOooOO will do, maybe a meep-meep when setting..

ThankyouMuch!

Got a DataTool 3 on mine. Don't get one it's a pain in the arris when you're trying to work on the bike. I find it difficult to get it into sleep mode and when I do it just sits there chirruping away getting right in yer t1ts usually about 3" from your lugs whist you're working.

Alarmed disc lock, alarms on bike are a PITA.

+2 from me. My remote key fob the my Meta alarm/immobiliser died on a track day at Brands and I missed 2 sessions because of it. Had to do the dance of the flashing LED to input a PIN to unlock it every time i wanted to start the bike.

PITA

I've got a Meta system which works great and the insurance companies seem to like it (it also does the meep-meep thing!). I do change the battery in the fob every 3 months just to save getting stranded though.

Spare batteries don't help when the transmitter is goosed but yes you will get slightly lower premiums from insurance.

Which is nice.

The drop in premiums is peanuts and the potential grief from them is not worth the saving.

+ another one for the alarmed disc lock instead.
