Alarms

[qasamm]

I'm not concerned with anyone wheeling it away but am concerned with tampering. My spyder seems to scream "mess with me".

 

[M2Wild]

Just wondering. Has anyone ever had their Spyder stolen? If so, how'd they do it?

I'm not concerned with anyone wheeling it away but am concerned with tampering. My spyder seems to scream "mess with me".

I am sure they "love" to try to steal it, but they probably will try to mess with it instead because they don't know how the eff to ride it away because the "break" is missing.:roflblack:

I don't think that will work on the Spyder given you have to press the menu key before you can start it. I have a Scorpio SR I800 RFID Security System and I really like the fact it disarms/arms itself using the R.F.I.D. remote. No need to push any button!

Need you advise on location of components and its installation.

I bought the same system and temporarily installed the main console under the brake fluid reservoirs, on top of their hoses.

Ran the cables to the battery, the proximity sensor to the center upper frame member (under the "Y" tupperware), and the antenna cable (peeled its end) on top of the black plastic that covers the gas tank (right side).

I have not been able to make it work correctly, sometimes the alarm sounds when it is supposed to be un-armed, sometimes not.

When I press the remote, I have to maintain it pressed for a few seconds until it finally chirps acknowledging a command. And I have to be near the Spyder to make it work.

Have not yet adjusted the proximity sensor, which needs to be done.

Any advice or comment, and pictures, will be appreciated.

You get a 44 so you don't need to double tap. Just be patient enough to let them line up properly, and then take a group of them down at once. Good thing about that size weapon is even if you hit someone in the arm, there is a great chance they are going down.

hah...that's if you can properly handle a .44 mag...where the heck would you put it anyway? What's the barrel length on that one? Also, if you hit an arm, it's going to be coming off with that caliber...

How about a nice glock 26 or 27...tiny and will get the trick done! No need to 'overkill'...

:agree: Hard to testify if you are pushing up daises! But it may not stop their "loved ones" from suing you.




True & False. Some states allow the "defending of personal property" as justified. The "life threatening" argument is a typical legal statue in most states. Thus research YOUR state and see what the guidelines are!

I don't know about your states, but here in Florida we have the Castle Doctrine and it states:

"The Florida "Castle Doctrine" law basically does three things:

One: It establishes, in law, the presumption that a criminal who forcibly enters or intrudes into your home or occupied vehicle is there to cause death or great bodily harm, therefore a person may use any manner of force, including deadly force, against that person.

Two: It removes the "duty to retreat" if you are attacked in any place you have a right to be. You no longer have to turn your back on a criminal and try to run when attacked. Instead, you may stand your ground and fight back, meeting force with force, including deadly force, if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to yourself or others. [This is an American right repeatedly recognized in Supreme Court gun cases.]

Three: It provides that persons using force authorized by law shall not be prosecuted for using such force."

It also prohibits criminals and their families from suing victims for injuring or killing the criminals who have attacked them.

In short, it gives rights back to law-abiding people and forces judges and prosecutors who are prone to coddling criminals to instead focus on protecting victims.

I don't think any competent "armed citizen" would take a shot a some guy just messing with his Spyder, but a display of a fire arm has deterred many perpetrators.

I have also heard that the Ruger 380 LCP loaded with MagSafe ammo fits in the glove box of the RT-S and has faster stopping power than a .45ACP loaded with JHP.......I'm just sayin':dontknow:

Not all states have this law..."why not" is very good question!
Being retired military I firmly believe if a person commits a crime, they forfeit all other rights while such crime is being committed (the "do unto others" position) against an innocent person(s).

Mine is installed near the battery area under the seat and panel. You should not have to "arm" the system for it to work. Simply walking away with the remote should automatically arm it. The RFID in this system allows the remote and base to "talk" to each other and recognize when both are "close" (disarmed) or not (armed). So manual arming or disarming is never needed. If you still have a problem with this, try resetting the system.

Only thing I'd worry about these auto armers is the battery drain. If you have a battery that is on the border line that you didn't know about, stepping away for a few hours could mean a bike that won't start. I usually don't arm my Spyder unless I know I am going to be away for an extended time period AND parked in an area potencially might have people wanting to monkey with it.

Or two very yappy, Miniature Schnauzers (they sound like they are HUGE). :2thumbs:

Yeah, but a 45ACP with MagSafe will far outdo that! Gotta compare apples to apples...

I have one of those also, but it won't fit in the glove box or my pocket!:lecturef_smilie:

But if fits perfect in my F150.:doorag:

Got it! :2thumbs:
And a Glock 30 too.

M2Wild,

I'm switching jobs and will be working at a hospital that is not in a good section of the city. My question is this: is it a bad idea to have an alarm set for around 8 hrs?

I have a Kuryakyn LED battery gauge, which hopefully has some accuracy. Up to now it is always at 2 green lights, which is a good thing.

The main purpose of the alarm would be to sound when someone touched the spyder to prevent forceful entry into the trunk. I don't want to come out and find a broken trunk. I'm not so concerned with someone taking the spyder.

The type of alarm system you plan to use would determine the current drain on your battery. Most systems draw a very small amount when armed. It's when the system activates the alarm (horn and lights) that there is a significant load put on the battery. So I guess it depends on how many times your alarm goes off in between battery charges. You may want to ask this question to the alarm system support group of the system you are interested in.

OK so been online looking at alarms found two that I like wonder if anyone has anyone or have any info on them. The Viper 5901 or the Cyclone? Both are about the same price the Viper cost a little more but comes with a remote starter. Both seem very sound to me about to do a coin flip to pick. hahaha :gaah: :shemademe_smilie:

Any luck with the auto start on the Viper 5901. I'm currently in search for anyone who can help out my installer. I also have the Viper 5901 installed with auto trunk release and would like to add the auto start to my 2010 SE5. The auto start works on an SE model as I have seen it. Please let me know if you gotten yours to work.

Thanks
