The Scorpio is probably the best of the best... But so far since January I have had no problems. I park my bike next to a night club and people used to touch my bike, lean on it, and a few times got on it to take pictures. Since I have had the alarm, it has prevented all that from happening. The rain triggers the microwave sensor..and the LED light sometimes stays on but I think it's my fault. All in all it's awesome. I've installed four on my friends bike already:)
The Scorpio is by far the best but also the most expensive. This alarm has worked flawlessly every time. I park it in front of clubs.. when ppl stand too close.. it gives a warning signal and it vibrates my remote. Rain is a pain with the proximity sensor but thats common with most alarms. I would recommend this.
@kawaskins ... it is always recommended to use a battery tender if you're not riding for weeks or more... but the alarm uses very little battery consumption... it depends on the charge of your battery.
Quite honestly, this is a 1st for me. I have since this video installed 40+ alarms on mostly Hondas... they are probably the most easiest bikes to install this alarm on. Other than one unit being bad from the factory.. there hasn't been issues like the one you have described. Double check your installation. Make sure your unit is properly grounded.
this is because when the key is turned it connects two wires to power, one wire which runs direct to the cdi and the other which powers ignition circuit and electrics. you have one brown wire which you currently have tapped into the later wire, but youll need to also extend that power to the cdi wire too
I just installed this on my Blackbird. I have another SPY (without a pager) on my other bike so installing it was a breeze but as I was wondering about the brown wire. Did you connect it (the one you connect to the ignition on wire). I don't like the reminder beep when you turn off the ignition so I cut the write. However, the led light doesn't reset itself if the alarm has gone off. I also don't like the auto re-arm.Other than the the alarm is great and the range is terrific.
beautiful bike bishop.... I know you said in the video that you did not hook up the remote start function , but do you know is there any safety features the prevent someone just rolling away without a key? will it start in the wheel lock position? or is something like i have in my truck that when you touch the clutch or brake it dies? please give feed back , and again , love your bike very clean.....
@bishop6 how many perimeter sensor do you have on it? cuz i have only 1,if you do how many, and how and where did you connected them. I didn't know you could install 2? guess I will have to change my sensor position now cuz I've seen ppl touch the bike and alarm didn't go off, by the way I have tried to set the sensitivity on my alarm but nothing happen?? tks, you did a good job in this post, tks for your help also.
@blurei4 : umm.. the microwave sensor has only one possible connection.. check the end of the wire on the sensor.. it can ONLY attach to one of the plugs on the main unit.
@Maui330 the 5000m means the amount of distance that the remote will detect any attempted theft or harm, remote will work up until about 50m, any further than that and arming, disarming, and remote starting wont work
I had this alarm around a year and a half now and I always keep the remote attached to the key, have done since day - I use it as a mini clock for my bike :) - not had any issues yet.
The only way I can think of adding an extra sensor if tapping into the existing sensor. The unit doesn't have extra slots to plug in "extra" accessories. The siren is pretty standard so I'm assuming you can plug in an after market siren of you don't like the the original one. Keep in mind the chirpping I'd only the warning. The actual siren gets louder and changes tones.
Hi I'm trying to decide between this and the datatool red which is thatcham 1. Where does the baret 5000 stand with insurance rating ? I like this spy alarm!
Can you set up the remote start to only work if you have the bike in neutral? That way if you forget and leave it in gear, when you hit the remote to start the bike it won't do anything ?
The micro wave aka proximity sensor is included. You can toggle it on or off using the remote. To adjust the sensitivity use the dial on the sensor itself. You have to play with it to adjust it to your needs. Rain makes it alarm but that happens with every brand. Try to install it near plastic more than metal. The less metal interfearance, the better.
Can you turn the vibration sensor off and keep the Proximity sensor on? It's quiet windy in the UK, and we have a lot of chavs with obnoxious exhausts which sets off my current alarm..
I bought this alarm, asked the bikeshop to put it on for me unfortunately its nowhere as sensitive as yours. the shock alarm only works when I hit the rear of my bike around the rear seat, the microwave sensor only works when i sit on the bike. Do you have any suggestion I can move the brain/microwave sensor around? Also which one is the front and rear of the microwave alarm? Is it the side with the sensor sensitivity adjuster? Or the one without it? Also the bike shop refuse to connect the CDI wire because they claimed that there were users who spoilt their CDI with the alarm system and they dont wanna risk their business. What do you think? P.S i'm riding a 06 YZF-R6
the micro wave sensor on ALL ALARMS will go off when it rains.. There is a feature on the remote that lets u disable the micorwave sensor. the screen on your remote should look like this : [CD] if it's blinking it means its armed if it's not blinking, it's off.
BTW.... When ur not sure about what wire to connect/cut/or splice... i used a razor to cut a little of the plastic off the bikes wires to expose the wire underneath. Prehistoric as it sounds.. It works. A cheap multi-meter from Radio Shack helps too.
I fumbled with that for awhile and decided to just cut and splice. I used the western union method (google it) and on some wires I used quick connects in case I wanted to unplug them. Use whats best for you. The T-taps hi read aren't too reliable.
Did you have any issues with the alarm draining the battery when you're not using the motorcycle for a few days ? Also did the shock and proximity sensors come bundled or did you have to buy thems eparately ? Thanks.
Hi does the Main Module & the Microwave Sensor needs to be apart, like U have them. Fixed on an FJR13, had both under Rear Seat. Izzit ok, will it affect the detetion...? THANKZ...
Beautiful bike man! love that colour too! Just wanted to say thanks for making this video, it is by far the best review video I have seen, I will be picking one of these up in the near future.
hey Bishop, I have a gsx-r 600 where is the best place to install the perimeter sensor because it said in the manual not to install it near metal?? and isn't the antenna will get dirty where you put it? cuz I put mine inside the rear light cover to the metal.
Hi there, nice ride by the way!!Could you help me disable the auto-arm?i know that if you press the disarming button twice it turns off but there is another way that it stays off forever, I just can’t remember!!Thank you!!
Hi could i ask on the manual what's transmitter vibration sensitivity is for? Another thing is though i activated the microwave sensor, it somehow didnt really work when i wave my hands across the bike or when i am standing near the bike for > 15 seconds.. any idea? thanks.
is the remote pager loud enough to wake you up if something is happening to your bike at night while you are sleeping? what about is someone cuts the alarm out from the bike? will the alarm go off?
The remotes are a bit sub par too, - the remote battery cover is taken out too easily I see a wear problem in the future and will have to resort to tape to keep it together - although new I notice dirt already showing on the display (no rubber membrane display insulation)
double check your wiring connections.. sounds like you have a short or another wire "touching" something exposed. The blinkers use only the two stock wires associated with your turn signals. Let me know how it goes.
sorry to bother you but ive fitted one of these alarms and its good but i can only get the remote start to turn the engine over without starting, as if its not getting a spark, the bike is a 2004 gsf600 on carbs, ive connected blue wire to starter relay, brown wire to my lights as they come live as soon as ignition is turned on, all other wires are as instructed but what am i missing for the remote start? thanks in advance!
@SickK8GSXR600 : Yeah, it sounds like its a wiring issue. If yo have a voltage meter, you can try that or just check the connections. I'm running two LED lights ( spliced together) and have had zero problems. Make sure your wires aren't pinched somewhere if the connection seems good. A cheap voltage meter will help in that regards. Good luck.
hi. i have the same alarm on my xj6 and was wondering if its possible to turn off the alarm signal noise. when u press the lock key twice the alarm is activated and with sound, and it does *bip* *bip*, its that noise i want to turn off. makes my head hurt in the morning.. thanks
Hiya, I've got the RC8 and I wondered if you could help. How much cutting/modding was needed, is it approved, could me as a novice install it? I'm not too bad but don't want to rip the entire bike apart to do it. Cheers in advance :) Matt
greetings" every 3-5 minutes alarm still firing...so i put it always n silince for not disturbing any one...but how about me it always vibrate the remote...what is the posible problem.....something i can adjust or need to reset the remote were i can find the reset setting...it there posible problem in wiring? Any comment apreciated....Thank u Sir...God blessed us...
i have my alarm unit mounted on the side of my bike behind my fairings and it has been exposed to the rain and car washes. I ride year round and it has not failed. I did however get the remote wet and it went dead.. a few days later with a hair dryer and it was working again.
Hi, I still waiting for alarm to arrive. If i wanna connect the engine start and kill. Where should i be finding the wire? I have the wiring diagram of my bike(2009 ZX6R). Should i be connecting to Ignition switch or Right handle bar start and kill buttons? Thx in advance
hi, so there is a setting where its silent alarm right? so if ppl get too close or shook my bike, only the signal lights would go out without the sound going off? cuz i live in HK, parking can be bit packed, people would hate me if everytime they walk close it goes off loud lol, a visual warning should suffice
Hi, I also have this alarm.Its ok but my rane iss only 120 metres which is totally shit. I ave my antenna in the back seat.A few questions- Is the antenna waterproof? As you have it attached to frame, Is it a good idea to ave the antenna there as the thief can just cut the wires? I wass told to keep my antenna away from metal as it blocks it?
overall it has been working ok. You can feel it is a battery drainer even with the prox sensor disconnected fro mthe plug. But no wonder as it has quite a comms range to the remote. The single most lacking feature is the impossibility of turning off the auto re-arm, its time is way too short (about 20 secs?) funny enough on a few time if you turn off the alarm then right away turn off again twice in rapid succession it does not re-arm, but I´m still trying to confirm this experiment
auto arm is a built in feature and can't be deactivated. BUT you can turn work around it. Simply once it autoarms.. disarm it with the remote, and start your bike for a one second then turn off ur bike. the autoarm won't come on again.
....I jus received this alarm yesterday after waiting a few weeks (in production)...I took a quick look at it ... I'm not going to install the remote start jus like u...I jus had a quick question ... I read in a post that the alarm actually armed itself while the bike was moving ...is that possible? or prolly wrong connections was made
hey mate how many wires did you use to to turn the motor on i used one wire connected it to the starter solenoid but it wont start also how did you get those indicators light hooked up to it thank you :)
Hi there, I am installing the EXACT same system. Where to connect pink, grey and blue wire? pink/grey are for start blocking, do I install it directly on the bobine? 4cilinder bikes have 2 bobines, which one and which color (GREEN/RED-RED/BLACK)? blue one is for remote start, still a mistery =S please help
Just bought one of these and did the basic connection to the bike just for alarm. I unlocked the alarm and as I was putting the bike back together it was triggering the alarm? Any help would be great Thanks
i wana fit this on my honda cb1000r thanks for the vid =) very good commentry, very clear, and i seen alarm spy5000 2 way on ebay . have you had any problems with it ? im really tempted to buy it.
hi,i bought this alarm,they installed it into my zx12r.my problem is that the proximity sensor although its activated,the alarm never sounded or warned me through the remote control,after staying close to the bike.Also i have to lift the bike from the stand and let her down again in order to sound the alarm.And all of this after one week of installation.the screw bolt on the black box is for adjusting the siren Db or the sensitivity?many thanks,Nick.
I've just installed the spy 5000, If it isnt on the alarm, without key in it. Then it starts to beep 2 times every 10 sec. its very annoying when im at the gas station. or just sitting still on my bike. how did you get it off?
thanks for your reply, yeah ive tried it with kickstand up and down and tried it with clutch in as it needs this for normal start, it starts up okay with the key just not the remote, is there any other wires other than the one that goes to starter relay that influence the ignition? thanks again
I have a problem with the siren. All was working fine for 6 monts and yesterday the siren doesnt work. All other stuff (blinks, remote control arm/disarm etc) works fine but the siren doesnt work. Any idea what might happenned? Maybe i disable siren from remote? Thanks.
Hi bishop6, can I get some help to configure the remote control, I don´t know why it is not working, the LCD is not showing anything other than there is no signal, does not show it is armed or unarmed, when I press the unarm button the the signal icon flash but the light does not turn on. I can confiure the date and time on the remote but that´s it. I know we can configure the remote using the little button on the module, but I tried several different things and did not work. Thanks in advance..
Hey i just bought this alarm and im trying to figure out how to turn the Microwave/Proximity on or off? Or how to rurn the alram off when im not using it. Any ideas???
I installed it myself. I say it took about 2 hours or so. I was well prepared with extra wires, tools, zipties, alcohol wipes, electrical tape, wire connectors. Don't forget to bring an mp3 player to help pass the time..lol
hi everybody,,im considering to buy one of these,however i have a concern,i lived on 25th fl and the bike are in basement,will i be able to hear the beep or vib etc???thanks in advance
I have a problem with my remote controller. I took off the battery of my remote control en then put it again in it. The problem that I'm facing now is that there's no connection between my remote control and the "unit". When I push on a button of my remote control nothing happens except for the beep-sound on my remote control. There are also no stripes of the signal strength on my remote. Could you please tell me what is going wrong? Thank you
the screw on the unit is for sensitivity. Sounds like maybe ur proximity sensor is in a bad location. On my bike, u see i just barely kicked my front tire and the alarm worked. Try relocating the prox. sensor. good luck
@JDarrII : that feature is determined (only) by your bikes settings. most bikes won't start if it's in gear. some bikes won't start but the engine cranks (enough that the bike can lurch forward enough for it to come off the kick stand) Honestly, most people don't usually have issues, but I hate leaving my bike parked in neutral that's why I don't use auto start. SF had tooo many hills.
I have a KTM RC8, do you remember how to connect the remote start wires ?
The Scorpio is probably the best of the best... But so far since January I have had no problems.

tks, you did a good job in this post, tks for your help also.
I am still using the alarm.. I have the flashing lights hooked to my LED street glow effect lights and it's insane!! Have no issues after Jan. 2011
@pctureperfct ... yes.... the remote pager vibrates and rings... it's loud but not very loud... I'm not a deep sleeper and it vibrates on my desk.
@blurei4 : umm.. the microwave sensor has only one possible connection.. check the end of the wire on the sensor.. it can ONLY attach to one of the plugs on the main unit.
@burtecin - I wouldn't say lower version.. it's the original version. I've upgraded with the suspension, club race kit, o2 sensor, re mapping, etc.
@Maui330 the 5000m means the amount of distance that the remote will detect any attempted theft or harm, remote will work up until about 50m, any further than that and arming, disarming, and remote starting wont work
can you make a video on how to reprogram the alarm using both remote.
I had this alarm around a year and a half now and I always keep the remote attached to the key, have done since day - I use it as a mini clock for my bike :) - not had any issues yet.
@themomo6710:Tilt sensor is not needed. THe proximity sensor covers the seat area.
The only way I can think of adding an extra sensor if tapping into the existing sensor. The unit doesn't have extra slots to plug in "extra" accessories. The siren is pretty standard so I'm assuming you can plug in an after market siren of you don't like the the original one. Keep in mind the chirpping I'd only the warning. The actual siren gets louder and changes tones.
The color changes based on the "trigger" (when the alarms goes off) It's not that you can manually change the colors.
Hi
I'm trying to decide between this and the datatool red which is thatcham 1.
Where does the baret 5000 stand with insurance rating ?
I like this spy alarm!

It's quiet windy in the UK, and we have a lot of chavs with obnoxious exhausts which sets off my current alarm..
@PetaBread27 .... using locks is ok.... the cover will not affect the microwave sensor either.
Cool video, Helped me decide to buy this model. They are $45 on amazon now
I bought this alarm, asked the bikeshop to put it on for me unfortunately its nowhere as sensitive as yours. the shock alarm only works when I hit the rear of my bike around the rear seat, the microwave sensor only works when i sit on the bike.

i will try this tomorrow, in my Rc8 white, i hope find the cables of the signal lights, where u taked that??? 😁😁
BTW.... When ur not sure about what wire to connect/cut/or splice... i used a razor to cut a little of the plastic off the bikes wires to expose the wire underneath. Prehistoric as it sounds.. It works. A cheap multi-meter from Radio Shack helps too.
Hey. How to disable arming reminder? I did not find this information in the instructions.
I fumbled with that for awhile and decided to just cut and splice. I used the western union method (google it) and on some wires I used quick connects in case I wanted to unplug them. Use whats best for you. The T-taps hi read aren't too reliable.
Did you have any issues with the alarm draining the battery when you're not using the motorcycle for a few days ? Also did the shock and proximity sensors come bundled or did you have to buy thems eparately ? Thanks.
Hi does the Main Module & the Microwave Sensor needs to be apart, like U have them. Fixed on an FJR13, had both under Rear Seat. Izzit ok, will it affect the detetion...? THANKZ...
Beautiful bike man! love that colour too!
Just wanted to say thanks for making this video, it is by far the best review video I have seen, I will be picking one of these up in the near future.

Can you still put other locks (disc, U, chain) and a cover over the bike without tripping the alarm?
Hi there, nice ride by the way!!Could you help me disable the auto-arm?i know that if you press the disarming button twice it turns off but there is another way that it stays off forever, I just can’t remember!!Thank you!!

double check your wiring connections.. sounds like you have a short or another wire "touching" something exposed. The blinkers use only the two stock wires associated with your turn signals.
Let me know how it goes.
Depending on where you live! If your in Australia I will have them for sale in coming weeks!
bummer i cant find that alarm system anywhere i looked on the website in the description and even googled it
sorry to bother you but ive fitted one of these alarms and its good but i can only get the remote start to turn the engine over without starting, as if its not getting a spark, the bike is a 2004 gsf600 on carbs, ive connected blue wire to starter relay, brown wire to my lights as they come live as soon as ignition is turned on, all other wires are as instructed but what am i missing for the remote start?
thanks in advance!
Hello, Spy 5000m includes sock sensor AND proximity sensor !? or is optional parts ?
I have the same alarm but can't find the booklet how do you set the proximity censer to high
@SickK8GSXR600 : Yeah, it sounds like its a wiring issue. If yo have a voltage meter, you can try that or just check the connections. I'm running two LED lights ( spliced together) and have had zero problems. Make sure your wires aren't pinched somewhere if the connection seems good. A cheap voltage meter will help in that regards.
Good luck.
How do you toggle the microwave prox sensor on and off with the remote. Thanks
why didn't you connect the engine start wire?
I barely got the spy 5000 and I'm stuck on the blue wire that goes to the starter or relay but I don't know which is the starter relay?
hi. i have the same alarm on my xj6 and was wondering if its possible to turn off the alarm signal noise. when u press the lock key twice the alarm is activated and with sound, and it does *bip* *bip*, its that noise i want to turn off. makes my head hurt in the morning..

Cheers in advance :)
Matt
Does this drain the battery of the bike? Like if you don't start the bike for a while would it drain it to not start?
greetings" every 3-5 minutes alarm still firing...so i put it always n silince for not disturbing any one...but how about me it always vibrate the remote...what is the posible problem.....something i can adjust or need to reset the remote were i can find the reset setting...it there posible problem in wiring?

Hi. I know it's been many years but I cannot deactivate M/W sensor through remote
hi, so there is a setting where its silent alarm right? so if ppl get too close or shook my bike, only the signal lights would go out without the sound going off?
cuz i live in HK, parking can be bit packed, people would hate me if everytime they walk close it goes off loud lol, a visual warning should suffice
Hi,
I also have this alarm.Its ok but my rane iss only 120 metres which is totally shit. I ave my antenna in the back seat.A few questions-
Is the antenna waterproof? As you have it attached to frame,
Is it a good idea to ave the antenna there as the thief can just cut the wires?
I wass told to keep my antenna away from metal as it blocks it?
For the remote start did you tap into the harness

Can I buy a new transmitter if i lost the original ones
How do you install the remote start for a gsxr 600 i don't know where to connect the pink and grey wire.
hey mate how many wires did you use to to turn the motor on i used one wire connected it to the starter solenoid but it wont start also how did you get those indicators light hooked up to it thank you :)
Hi there, I am installing the EXACT same system.
Where to connect pink, grey and blue wire?
pink/grey are for start blocking, do I install it directly on the bobine?
4cilinder bikes have 2 bobines, which one and which color (GREEN/RED-RED/BLACK)?
blue one is for remote start, still a mistery =S
please help
how much was the alarm and remote starter where did you get it
Doesn't this drain out your battery?
what if your not using your bike for a while do you have to turn of the alarm then?
Hi, What size drill did you use to make the hole for the LED light? Thank you! Kevin.
Just bought one of these and did the basic connection to the bike just for alarm. I unlocked the alarm and as I was putting the bike back together it was triggering the alarm? Any help would be great
Thanks
@alphaman1101 : oooh, I thought you ordered it direct from the manufacturer's website (the link is in my description)
Either way, I guess.
where did u buy it at us or china?
trying to find a place local in ny
thx pretty sweet
i wana fit this on my honda cb1000r thanks for the vid =) very good commentry, very clear, and i seen alarm spy5000 2 way on ebay . have you had any problems with it ? im really tempted to buy it.
it auto changes depending on the type of alarm trigger.. shock, impact, someone trying to start it, etc...
Can I place the ig wire in with the 10A ig fuse so I dont have to cut wires. Alars still arms after turning it off
hi,i bought this alarm,they installed it into my zx12r.my problem is that the proximity sensor although its activated,the alarm never sounded or warned me through the remote control,after staying close to the bike.Also i have to lift the bike from the stand and let her down again in order to sound the alarm.And all of this after one week of installation.the screw bolt on the black box is for adjusting the siren Db or the sensitivity?many thanks,Nick.
How do you set the shock sensor to very sensitive?
I've just installed the spy 5000,
If it isnt on the alarm, without key in it.
Then it starts to beep 2 times every 10 sec.
its very annoying when im at the gas station. or just sitting still on my bike.
how did you get it off?
what happens if you remote start the motorcycle while its in gear ? would it fall down? THATS my biggest concern? can you please reply back
when I programed my remotes the microwave sensor was not connected, is that why the light on it or it wont work?
thanks for your reply, yeah ive tried it with kickstand up and down and tried it with clutch in as it needs this for normal start, it starts up okay with the key just not the remote, is there any other wires other than the one that goes to starter relay that influence the ignition?
thanks again
Hi, just had a quick question for you. Did you know if there was a way to set the auto alarm to set a silent alarm?
I have a problem with the siren. All was working fine for 6 monts and yesterday the siren doesnt work. All other stuff (blinks, remote control arm/disarm etc) works fine but the siren doesnt work. Any idea what might happenned? Maybe i disable siren from remote? Thanks.
Hi bishop6, can I get some help to configure the remote control, I don´t know why it is not working, the LCD is not showing anything other than there is no signal, does not show it is armed or unarmed, when I press the unarm button the the signal icon flash but the light does not turn on. I can confiure the date and time on the remote but that´s it. I know we can configure the remote using the little button on the module, but I tried several different things and did not work. Thanks in advance..
Did you do a real range test?
How far we can go from motorcycle? bishop6
On the unit, there is a sensitivity screw on the alarm unit.
Hey i just bought this alarm and im trying to figure out how to turn the Microwave/Proximity on or off? Or how to rurn the alram off when im not using it. Any ideas???
Hello. Thank you for the video. How do you charge the remote? My remote seems like it does not take any charge.
The remote uses batteries like a television remote and cannot be charged. Try changing batteries.
where do you put the microwave sensor on a scooter?
Hi.
How is the motorbyke batery drain? How long can you leave it armed and still be able to start the bike?
Thanks
I installed it myself. I say it took about 2 hours or so. I was well prepared with extra wires, tools, zipties, alcohol wipes, electrical tape, wire connectors. Don't forget to bring an mp3 player to help pass the time..lol
hi everybody,,im considering to buy one of these,however i have a concern,i lived on 25th fl and the bike are in basement,will i be able to hear the beep or vib etc???thanks in advance
I have a problem with my remote controller. I took off the battery of my remote control en then put it again in it.
The problem that I'm facing now is that there's no connection between my remote control and the "unit". When I push on a button of my remote control nothing happens except for the beep-sound on my remote control. There are also no stripes of the signal strength on my remote.
Could you please tell me what is going wrong?
Thank you
the screw on the unit is for sensitivity. Sounds like maybe ur proximity sensor is in a bad location.
On my bike, u see i just barely kicked my front tire and the alarm worked. Try relocating the prox. sensor.
good luck
how has this alarm system been holding up over the years. have you encountered any notable issues ?
is this the first remote out of the box or is this the second one you tried to configure?
@JDarrII : that feature is determined (only) by your bikes settings. most bikes won't start if it's in gear. some bikes won't start but the engine cranks (enough that the bike can lurch forward enough for it to come off the kick stand)
Honestly, most people don't usually have issues, but I hate leaving my bike parked in neutral that's why I don't use auto start. SF had tooo many hills.
