Best Bike Alarm.

[vinniecopenhagen]

Hi all.
Haven't been on here in a few centuries.😁 I just bought a 2014 Gsxr 750 and I want to get it alarmed. Any suggestions on what is the best alarm to get and what shop would be the best for getting it installed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.☺

No alarm or security system is theif proof. But they're instead a deterrent... where it will either make them go to the next bike that has no alarm or slow them down enough to make it a bit more risky.

Anyways... just get something within your budget and don't get lost in all the bells and whistles as, like above, none of them if really, really thief proof.

Cheers,
Rami

one that doesn't go off the whole time, and one that doesn't have an immobiliser built in that will leave you with a dead bike when it decides to throw its toys out of the pram (which it will)

Had a Datatool on a VFR - got it removed. Annoying as fuck and drained the battery constantly.

My first job when I buy a bike with a Datatool fitted is to remove it.

I've a load of Datatool alarms lying around. Most of them are fucked but a few were removed before they got the chance to fuck up.

In my experience, there are two types of Datatool alarm. Those that have left people stranded, and those that are going to leave people stranded.

I don't know if any of the other alarms are any better.

The best alarm you will ever buy is a big lock and chain and lot the bike to an immovable object

I have Meta and so far it works very well... It looks like it's fitted for years and still works perfect... If you try to move the bike (just a little is enough), alarm will go off, but it stands there in place for 5 days now, never heard false alarm... Also have immobiliser but this can be disconnected if you don't like...

Don't know the model or price, got it with bike...

Thanks for the reply,Iv had problems before myself with my Lazerline alarm on my Gixxer thou,the only reason I want to put an alarm on my bike is for Insurance purposes,Is your Premium much higher if you haven't got an alarm.??

Yeah true but the only reason I want an Alarm is for Insurance purposes, Surely your Premium will be much higher if there's no alarm on the bike,if they even insure you.

I have never been asked if I have an alarm (oh I tell a lie I was) but my reply is always the same "an alarm is not worth a shite, I have a lock and chain" in which case they just brush by the question and no effect on anything, also I dont tell the insurance company my house is alarmed (not saying why just dont)

I've had spyball alarm/immobilsers on my bikes and never had any issues. Although I only arm them when I'm out and about, garaged and locked when at home.

There are guys on here that fit them.

I don't think you'll get your premium lower than a tener for having an alarm. You'll definitely won't get the cost of the alarm itself back in savings for at least a few years.

Ring and ask, but that's what I figure it'll happen. Where you keep your bike might be a bigger factor, but they'll find something to fuck you over anyways.

Get an alarm if you fancy it by all means, but don't do it if it's just for the insurance cost because it's not a good investment.

Good value, handy to fit and voted 6th out of top ten bike alarm systems for 2016?
