so i have to move out in april and i'm getting an alarm. or something like that for when the bike can't be garaged. And i'm looking at the Scropio SR-i500 (Pack A) alarm with 2 way paging (http://www.scorpioalarms.com/build-your-alarm)

does anyone have any experience with it or other recommendations??

thanks

2 way paging is the way to go. i have the 5th Watch on my bike which is the same in principal to the Scorpio. wouldn't have any other type of alarm on anything.

k thanks guys

how was the install procedure? i read that you can do the basic stuff but it takes alot for getting everything else working and functioning properly

Install is pretty easy if you get the factory connector kit with it.

comes with instructions and they have a support line.

The install is fairly simple and it's a pretty good alarm. Only complaint is that the pager eats batteries like they're going out of style.

yes the install is very simple. mine goes through a battery every 2 or 3 months.

every 2 or 3 months isn't bad at all....i thought you meant like days hahaha

well i can't vouch for the Scorpio but my 5th Watch goes through a battery every few months. my COmpustar on my car uses a battery every 6 months.

I had the scorpio alarm. Mucho peace of mind. It was awesome. The digital accelerometers detected the slightest bumps. Sometimes, after I park the bike, the bike settles on the kickstand and that alone would set the alarm off. Even a tap on the tires would set it off. Of course, there's the 5 level shock sensitivity adjuster so you can adjust it which ever way you want.


Losta nice features. But yeah, they do eat batteries. Mine goes through a AAA rechargable battery in 2 weeks.
