I agree with bb1000 they don't do anythink apart from drain your battery. A thief will just pick your bike up and put it in a van.

its also to stop tools down the street playin with it and sitting on it and so on not so much to stop someone taking it no matter how hard you try if someone wants your bike they will get it alarm,sproket lock,chain,steering lock they dont stop ppl from taking your bike they just make it harder... also as i have had ppl tinker with my old bike would just like to avoid that all together with a loud alarm going off in there face XD

I installed the factory Aprilia alarm myself & was really impressed with how nicely it went on. Proper plug connectors & no splices or soldering.

The only thing is since the newer RSVs come equipped with an immobilizer, it now effectively has two. You need to make sure you "chirp" it before turning on the key, otherwise, you get a CAN error & it wont start until you turn the key on-off-on.

so you dont need a remote to use it? does it come with the option of a remote? how loud and where is it located? and if you dont mind me asking how much did it cost?
