DIY: Installing Spy 5000m Alarm Remote Start

[jdubbya]

Heres a dumb question: How do you handle a manual choke with remote start, seems like you would have 2 options, to leave it choked when you get off the bike so its ready when remote started, which would lead to the engine racing away until you went out and moved the choke lever, or try to let it start without any choke....

Also, for the remote start...
I chose not to disclose how to 'hotwire' the bike for the remote start to bypass the anti-jacking device, as the bike thieves may find it interesting. Send me a PM and I can tell you how it's done. If you're a genuine member needing the info for genuine reasons - I will reply to your PM.

Hey there, I have been trying to research this all over the internet and dont have a clue, please tell me the remote start fix you came across to disable the anti jacking thing. I am installing a hawk x40 alarm and remote start, I know its one of the simpler models of alarms but on a budget, I know the alarms wires but dont have a clue of how to make the remote start work on what color wires are on the bike, I did get the alarm part hooked up and working fine. Any help would be greately appriciated, also I read at one point that a resistor fixes the problem.

Pullin' a kkim on us, are you, OP?

Anyway, I'd like to know what this alarm typically costs.

How much for your services?

[spider2k]

wasn't as concerned with the $$ as I am something a little more interesting than the norm. I've done hundreds of cars , only a dozen or so bikes so it's still not so boring

Hate to make a bad first impression by reviving a very old thread, but the images don't seem to be working anymore. Anyone have the tutorial in another format/site? My alarm just arrived in the mail, and I went back to refer to these handy instructions only to find the pictures gone...

Same here, installed mine a few weeks ago anyway. pretty simple if you do it piece by piece. I didn't install the remote start, it seems too complicated. Start with hooking it up to the positive of your battery and the ground. Find a spot to mount all the components like the brain and antennae and microwave sensor (mine is on top of the battery cover)

Then hook the wires for the turn signal up. My bike already had flush mounts on the side, so i just attached the brain wire to where my turn signal wire was already cut (for me this is under the fairings on the left and right side)

and thats all I hooked up. This will make your alarm work perfect, just without having the remote start.

I followed your instruction without a problem. I do not use the blue wire. And I connect the pink and brown wires to the IG's thicker brown wire under the fuse box and the gray wire from the alarm to the thinner brown wire as in the picture. The alarm itself worked great. Then I disable the alarm, put key in the ignition and turn key on, then start the bike, bike starts no problem

This is where the issue of burning wire comes from. If i did not disarm the alarm and put key in the ignition and turn key on without starting the bike. The Pink and Brown wires start smoking. What could be the problem? Can any members help me with this? Thanks a ton.

hey I just joined this site because of this alarm
this is the first site from I think the 4 ive seen that explain how to connect the kill switch

of course I dont have the same bike I have a klx 250s

I did try on my own connecting the brown into the 12v positve
but not the pink with it
when I did the brown the entire alarm would not activate

and I still need to figure where to connect the gray wire in all of my wiring as im sure my wiring is way different from yours



Edit

Found the. Ign fuse
On my bike it's small wires. But one was brown the other red
Did the brown/pink to brown
Gray to red.

Left out fuse. But bike still starts
Tried other way still starts

Not sure what to do next


Edit again
Found with ign fuse out bike still starts?
So maybe it's not an ignition fuse like I thought


From what I can see I have only 2 fuses under my seat
Fan and ing
And a main 20 amp that controls everything

How is it even starting with the ing fuse out

Alarm is working fine. I didn't hook up the remote start. When I arm or disarm, the power wire and maybe other wires seem warm/hot. Saw smoke at one point too? I have a 2010 ninja 250r. I replaced the fuse with a 30amp fuse because the 15a it came with got blown the first time I armed it? Works fine with the 30amp fuse, but now when it armed it gets very warm to the touch. Do I need to put in another fuse on the red positive power wire?

I would say no!

The fuse it comes with has worked perfectly on mine with remote start. You would you need to determine why the wires are getting hot before something else goes wrong. Either you have a faulty alarm or there is something connected wrong.

Working now. Had to switch the turning signal wires it was wired to. Works great now. Only issue is when I disarm it, it auto rearms itself after like 30 seconds. How do you disable this. It's sitting in my garage and don't need it armed while it's sitting in there or if I'm working on it... Didn't realize it had this dumb feature. How do you disarm it and have it stay off without having the bike on

You can disarm, start the bike, and then shut it back off. The alarm should give you warning notification that you havent armed it but should not rearm itself. The only time it should rearm on its on is when you have armed it but did not start it and ride off. Make sense?

I haven't hooked up any ignition wires though. Just the red, black, and yellows.

I haven't wired of the brown, blue, grey, or pink.

I read somewhere I can turn the key to on and then turn back to off and that will work.

Do I need to wire the brown wire to my brake light in order for that work around to work?

To be honest I don't remember the whole wiring connections. I do know the pink and brown are part of the RS feature so I would say you'd need to complete all desired wiring connections to expect the proper function from the alarm.

I would like to revive this forum. I need help with this alarm. I have a CBR150fi (asia/philippines version). Since CBR150fi doesn't have aa engine/kill switch, where do I connect the pink and gray wire?

[CZroe]

Drat! Should have saved as a PDF because the pictures are gone now. Any way to restore them?

I imagine that anywhere that gets power when the key is turned on will work. You could even make a switch, though it might not control the engine. Good luck!

[umbong]

I test the pink and gray wire. They say its a relay. So my testing was to check the behavior of these two wire (Its continuity). When you hit the ARM or DISARM button, these wires (pink and gray) are CLOSED. But when you hit the lightning/start, it OPENS. I'm so confuse right now. T.T

The way I did it, I fed those wires through empty slots, and inside the fuse box. Took the IG fuse out, and pushed the wires into the corresponding slots where the fuse contacts used to go. This way you don't have to cut any wires.

This doesn't work for me.

This looks like an awesome description of the install, one that I've been looking for, but I cant seem to see the pictures on any of my computers. I would love to figure out how I can see this so I can successfully install my spy 5000m! Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.

[Its_Scott]

This is awesome. Thanks OP
