OldBear Posted October 30, 2009 #1 Posted October 30, 2009 Well guys, after a bunch of research on the subject, I broke down and ordered a Scorpio SR I900. This puppy has RFID technology so it automatically disarms when you approach and arms when you walk away. It has shock/motion and tilt sensors, a self contained battery back up and an INCREDIBLY load siren. I got mine with the optional Yamaha specific wiring harness, so installation was a snap. Started this morning and had it completely ready to go in less than an hour. Everything fit under the seat. No wires to cut, just a factory connector to unplug and a new harness to insert in the middle. Run one wire to the hot side of the battery, locate the items and you're done. No idea how well it will hold up yet, but it looks well made and at this point works as advertised. I am VERY satisfied thus far and would encourage anyone interested in an alarm to check 'em out. I got mine online at absolutecycle.com for $339 with free shipping, and that included the cycle specific wiring harness. My insurance company gave me a discount of $24 dollars a year-not a chunk, but still better than nothing.
thecount Posted October 30, 2009 #2 Posted October 30, 2009 This is the same system I installed last year. Great system. Only item, is if the bike sit for long period of time and not charging the battery, the alarm may go off. Otherwise, very, very happy with my set up. Easy install for sure!
Owen Posted October 30, 2009 #3 Posted October 30, 2009 Thanks for sharing the report. I have been considering an alarm for the RSV. I will check them out.

If you go this route, be sure to shop around on the net...I got mine, WITH the yamaha harness (a 20 buck option) for about $100 less than the base unit lists for!. You WILL be pleased with the way this thing hooks up!

Gotta ask; What would you consider a 'long period'? Long enough for the battery to drain down to what level? I take it that this system does have an electrical draw on the battery. Any idea what that draw is? Thnx 4 the info.
Dave77459 Posted November 9, 2009 #6 Posted November 9, 2009 Does it also hook to the horn? Can you set off the alarm remotely, in case you, um, misplace your bike? Dave
