    Hi all,
    Just stuck down a deposit on a CBR 125. Hoping to pick it up in 3-4 weeks.
    Was wondering if anyone who has one has got an alarm on it?
    IIRC you cant put an alarm on an NSR125 because the battery is too small?

    TIA

    IMHO alarms are mostly a waste of space, get a good lock and chain, a
    big **** off dog and adopt a zero tolerance approach to would be
    tea-leafs.

    Works for me.

    Would you care to explain what zero tolerance approach to potential
    thieves would consist of?

    Fantastic idea m8, except the fact that insurance companys dont really give
    discounts for "big **** off dog's" and when I park the bike at work Im
    hardly going to leave the dog sitting next to it am I? LOL No-one will
    steal my bike from my house. Its kept in a shed at the back of my house
    which is alarmed, has a CCTV camera on it, surrounded by an 8 foot fence
    with a bit of razor wire for good luck and I have the nosiest old bag of a
    neighbour you will ever see in your life! So the bikes fine at home, just
    worried about it at work.

    I work in a trade shop and have vans coming and going constantly to collect
    things. Be very easy to pick the bike up and stick it in the back. I cant
    have it chained as theres nothing solid to secure it to, so Im going to have
    to take the alarm route.

    Anyone know if I can have an alarm?
    LOL

    TIA Andrew

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Andrew Scott
    Easier, cheaper and more effective to concrete in an anchor point at
    your workplace. Then get a FOAD chain and lock.

    We transported a 900 Kawasaki across Northampton a couple of years ago
    with the alarm shrieking after the keys had been lost, we couldnt hear
    it from inside the cab, and I bet no one heard or paid any notice to
    it from outside. Alarms are only good when you are within earshot of
    your bike.

    Keelworm says...
    Why? OK, so they can't take the torque of say an M10 or 12 but they're
    perfectly adequate for smaller components.
