any good reason?

they're dangerous and easily forgotten about, my mate left his on his vmax and it nearly threw him over the bars.i've seen bikes damaged cos people have forgotten to take em off, i have one but i only use it if my bikes left for a very long time.

any more so than a chain?

chains are a little more noticeable!

must admit i've doen the same with my disk lock, for got about it then smashed a mud gard pushing it

not only do they smash your muddy they can wreck your discs and calipers if left on.

good reason for using an alarmed one if you even bring the bike upright off the side stand, the alarm goes off immediately

I use one in public places

wtf i don't like em is that a good enough excuse? alarmed ones or ones with cables that tie to the bars to remind you.they are dangerous sooo there!

well yeah, of course "i don't like them" is a valid excuse.

"they're dangerous and should be banned" i thought was a bit over the top.


and for the record, i've done it once with a disclock and once with a chain.

disclock was on the GS, I was late for a lecture and had just had an epic argument with my (then) gf. cost - one new speedo cable.

chain was through the rear wheel of the zxr while I was working on it and had gone in for lunch. forgot about it and decided to go for a test run. damage - one bent chain guard which I flattened out myself.


the only "danger" in each case was that I looked like a bit of a tit - and the first time there was noone around anyway.

attualy thinking about it back when i had my ped i started it on the stand and gave it some rev's to get it going so the back wheel span getting the chain loddged in between the swingarm and wheel

that one took some getting out

sorry about bringing up an old thread.
got a pic of the fob for you andy

it is a little big

thats well fancy compaired to mine! i'll have to track down my keys and get a pic,

thanks Oli, that is mahusive, too big for me.

I think they have changed the fobs now as mine is tiny.
did you wire it in yourself? nearly done mine but having a little trouble finding the fuse that when taken out will stop the engine?
tried removing each one seperatly from the junction box but no luck.
