Installation of the alarm on the motorcycle with your own hands

The vehicle is a tasty morsel for hijackers. The exception was not and motorcycles. In the city, leaving such equipment unattended is fraught with hijacking. To date, there are many protective means to protect the bike from theft.

The installation of an alarm for a motorcycle is one of the most reliable ways to protect a motorcycle from theft and encroachment by third parties.

How it works?

In a busy city streets often have to leave the motorcycle unattended. Various locks, chains and other means of protection of the vehicle are ineffective against thieves - you can deal with them with the usual mount. However, to protect a motorcycle from stealing it is possible by means of system of the alarm system. When choosing such equipment, it is worth paying attention to certain parameters:

• Sensor sensitivity;
• The speed of the signal;
• Ease of Management;
• Reliability of fixation;
• Availability of additional functions.

The installation of an alarm on a motorcycle with your own hands will help protect the vehicle from infringement and theft.

Cost of the system

To date, there are a huge number of models and brands of anti-theft systems, differing in the degree of protection of the vehicle. The cost of signaling can reach tens of thousands of rubles and vary depending on the manufacturer, the sensitivity of the sensors and additional functions.

You can choose a model from any price category - both the budget option, and luxury. Most motorcycle owners are trying to pick up expensive systems, because they provide the best level of protection and have additional functions. Such models are also distinguished by their simplicity and ease of use.

The most affordable in terms of cost are Chinese systems, but they have their own disadvantages: too low sensitivity sensors at high signal level. The installation of an alarm system for a Stels motorcycle produced in China will provide an average level of protection, which is sufficient to protect the transport from encroachment.

Alarm Sensors

There are several types of sensors, each of which is responsible for certain parameters. The installation of an alarm for a Honda motorcycle requires several such elements controlling the volume, inclination and impact.

The volume sensor is responsible for approaching the motorcycle of an object, from other vehicles to birds and animals. The use of this device is undeniable - it reacts to a person even before he approaches the bike.

The impact sensor responds to a touch on the body of the motorcycle. It is usually installed in conjunction with a volume sensor and supplements its functions in case it does not work.

Mercury device is most often installed on motorcycles, because in order to move the bike from the place, it must be tilted to remove the footboard. If you buy sensors separately, they will cost a little more than a complete alarm system.

What protection to choose?

The installation of an alarm for a motorcycle implies the selection of the most suitable system. Which is best to choose - car or motorcycle? The overwhelming number of devices designed specifically for motorcycles, at a cost almost equal to automobile systems, while their level of protection is very low. As a rule, such devices are monoblock, that is, in one case electronic "brains" and a siren with a tilt sensor are combined. The purchase of additional items can result in costs that are comparable to the acquisition of a full-fledged system, and not all models allow the connection of sensors. Accordingly, if you purchase an alarm for a motorcycle, then only from proven manufacturers, high quality and complete with tilt, volume and impact sensors.

One of the best options is to purchase a conventional car alarm and its subsequent installation. The functionality of such a device is much wider than the usual motorcycle system, and the cost is often even lower with high quality. Installation of the system is not difficult. You can contact a service center or a workshop that provides a service such as installing a bike alarm. The instruction, complete with the anti-theft system, will help to assemble the equipment on its own.

GPS beacon - a modern defense for a motorcycle

The installation of an alarm on a motorcycle does not always help to save the "iron horse" from stealing. To provide the maximum level of protection, it is desirable to install on the bike a set of anti-theft system and remote surveillance device, or GPS-beacon.

In fact, all cases of theft of vehicles are the same: the hijacker neutralizes the anti-theft system and either leaves on a motorcycle or takes him away in a truck. On the one hand, transport can be irretrievably lost, and on the other hand, an inconspicuous beacon will help track the movement of the bike and find it. With this device, you can not only monitor the location of the motorcycle, but also monitor its speed. All data can be immediately transferred to law enforcement agencies.

How GPS works

After the acquisition of the beacon, the installation of an alarm for the motorcycle begins. Immediately before installation, a SIM card of the mobile operator is inserted into the device, which is attached to the mobile phone of the motorcycle owner. After that, the beacon is installed in an inconspicuous place on the bike, and a time interval is recorded, through which messages containing information about the state of the motorcycle will come.

Advantages of GPS-signaling

Similar GPS-beacons, mounted together with full-scale anti-theft systems, have their advantages:

• Small device dimensions - the thickness of the case rarely exceeds the thickness of the credit card.
• Compatible with all models of cell phones.
• The battery charge is enough for 9 months of battery life.
• There is no need to replenish the subscriber number.

The main feature of this device is that it catches the reflected signals, while it is almost impossible to detect it. The cost of this signaling is very democratic, and coupled with a full system it will provide the maximum level of protection for the "iron horse".

Creation of the alarm system

An anti-theft alarm system can be created independently. To do this, it is enough to purchase the necessary components in the car shop:

• Two-sided LED;
• Two pairs of relays differing in current level;
• resistor;
• Button that allows 20 A dc;
• High power magnet;
• Reed switch;
• A bundle of wires;
• Standard fuse.

All parts are connected to each other according to the finished schemes.

Mounting alarm on a motorcycle

In the automotive market a wide range of motor signals is presented. High level of reliability and quality provided them with popularity and relevance. The necessary knowledge of how to set the alarm on the motorcycle "Orion" is available only for specialists working in car-care centers, since the installation process itself is a painstaking work requiring care. If the system is incorrectly installed and connected, there may be problems with the motorcycle electronics, which will be difficult to fix.

Not every owner of the "iron horse" knows how to set the alarm on the motorcycle "Mustang". The necessary information can be obtained either from specialists or in the instructions that come with the anti-theft system.

How to set an alarm on a motorcycle

The process of installing protection on a bike does not represent anything complicated. You can deal with this yourself, without recourse to specialists.

• Before proceeding with the installation of the system, it is necessary to measure the battery charge level, the voltage in the mains and determine the presence of leakage currents. Then the plastic cover is removed from the vehicle and the wires to be blocked are allocated.
• The alarm system itself, that is, the body of the device, can be removed to any place - for example, in the air filter or under the seat. The main condition in this case - the place where the device will be located, should not be heated and exposed to moisture.
• The signaling is powered by power wires. Use fuses from the regular electrical system is not worth it. Difficult to access sensors and wires, without which the functioning of the motorcycle is impossible, it is desirable to block.
• An antenna of the transponder is installed, the signaling is connected to the turn signals. The LED is output to the dashboard, the pager is attached under the fairing, away from the metal parts.
• Wiring junctions are carefully soldered, after which they are closed with a heat-shrinkable tubing. The wires are assembled into a bundle and fixed with electrical tape.
• A negative terminal is connected to the battery.

After the alarm is set, it is checked to see if it works. The anti-theft system protects the motorcycle and protects it from theft. In addition, the nervous system of the vehicle owner remains healthy. Properly selected protection for your "iron friend" will serve you faithfully for many years.
