Get a decent alarm/immobiliser (some have remote starts that do not need to be used/wired), a Thatcham Approved disc lock, & a reminder which attaches between the lock and throttle grip so you don't ride off with the lock attached. I'm not posting in a public forum nor to anyone of the security measures on my bike for obvious reasons, I will say don't scrimp on the cost.
The tracking device
When the bike is @ home locked in a garage or not, use a ground anchor, plus keep a big baseball bat drill the shaft and pour in molten lead (that easily breaks thieves bones) also drill the handle and attach a cable (to wrap round your wrist) hang it on a wall close to your door (if the cops ask, say its an ornament)
Keep Yourself & her safe.

So it would fit nicely, close to the frame. If you didn't have to change the batteries occasionally then I would find a way to put it into the frame. I get a rediculous discount on them, so if you are good for the $15 a month fee there you go. It's also pay as you go so you don't have to sign the contract. But I know there is a thread somewhere else on the board about a cell phone with a gps locator and you would just add it to your existing contract.

its only when the ignition is off (no key), that's why I've been studying the main relay. I suspect the wiring instructions that came with the alarm are wrong/poor.M,mawler wrote:Geo with the ignition ON the safety switches operate as normal
I've just tested, wired how I thought it should be wired, It does not crank whilst in gear anymore, wired per the instructions the safety switches were bypassed!! The strange thing is, before (remote start disabled/not wired) when I disabled the immobiliser (no key in the ignition) if the bike was in gear the start button operated as normal (cranked the engine), with the key in and turned on the bike would not crank if in gear, now everything operates as it should key in or not.yamaha_george wrote: M,
yup some place there is def a fault those safety switches should work as soon as the engine is capable of being "tumbled" and the plugs capable of being fired.
the switches should "ground" the LT side of the plugs so even though the engine is turned over the ignition pulse on the LT of the plugs should be removed by the grounding effect of those two safety switches.
on mine wired as I thought it should be, the remote start acts as the start button, grounds the main relay.George,yamaha_george wrote:M,mawler wrote:Geo with the ignition ON the safety switches operate as normal

I believe you're thinking of a CDI ignition kill-switch. Grounding the LT side of TCI coils will burn them out quite quickly, as they are wired to 12v. The safety switches generally lead to a relay and act as the ground path to the relay's coil, turning it on (so long as any one switch is closed, power flows).
