+1 my main rule of thumb is K.I.S.S. keep it simple stupid the more you complicate things, the worse they are when something goes wrong.

when i say just fitted it has been on just over 1 month now and

yes i always rem to leave the bike choked when i lock it up at night and it starts first time on the button everytime so far also one thing not mentioned as a security feature is it keeps kids with dirty hands away as if ur sitting in the vicinity and one goes close a quick click of the button and the engine roaring into life sends them scurrying away

Not lazy, just smart. Too many thieves out there! Mine works great, never had a problem with it.

On the one I brought from ebay from the link i put up you tell them which bike you have and they send u a bike specific wiring diagram so simple even i could do it as they tell you not only the colour wire but also where it is located the only problem i encountered was the previous owners datatool alarm that was already fitted which i needed to remove as they had messed about with the wiring
