Glorian Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 New bike comes with a nice loud alarm as standard, which is always nice for the insurance..However the bloody thing is so sensitive, i store it outside under a cover and if it's really windy and the cover moves at all, alarm goes off! Now the problem being if i know weather is bad, i turn the alarm off. But this brings it's own series of problems.Anyone else have similar issues? How do you get around them? My only thought was to put some bungie coards around the bike/cover to prevent movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimR Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 See if sensitivity is adjustable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Broken it already?...... But seriously......Mandy's Speed 4 has a Datatool alarm and it tweets at you if you look at it funny......no adjustments, so we just have to put up with it.....

bonio Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Can you get it post instagram pics instead of tweeting? That way you could check it's ok without getting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six30 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Get someone to take it off ,alarms more hassle than their worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Is it the movement of the cover or is it the wind moving the bike assisted by the sail like properties of the cover ? Sound too sensitive to me , any adjustment possible ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Lou had one on her SV, which I removed. It didn't make much of a difference to insurance, and thieves don't care about them anyway. It only really deters the opportunists, and an alarmed disc lock works just as well for that. So my suggestion is remove it, and if it's a Datatool I can tell you how to get it disconnected from the bike inside an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
