Good Points: - The adjustable tilt and vibration sensor
- The volume of the Alarm
- The blue LED (my bikes blue :o)

Bad Points: -The immobilser means your iginition switch can't be used to turn-off your bike.
- No silent option when activated or deactivating the alarm (EU requirement).
- haven't proved it yet but maybe reacting to temperatures below 0 and draining my battery. Was fine left for 4 days above 0 no problem, but 1 day at -2 and battery is drained.

General comments: I bought this alarm for my 1999 SV650 as the bike didn't cost a fortune I was reluctant to spend 1/3 of the cost of the bike on an alarm. So I bought the Cyclone C11.
Once the C11 is fitted with the immobiliser, the ignition switch can no longer be used to switch the motor off. You have to use the emergency switch or find the fob and hit the correct button. If you use the emergency switch then you have to switch the alarm off before switching if on or the panic alarm will go off.
I was also surprised that it didn't have the ability to stop the alarm from beeping when you switch it on and off. C11 uses the same siren as the alarm so it is very load. Not very neighbour friendly. I also understand the the EU requires the alarm setting to be silent; it should only flash the indicators.
I have replaced my battery since fitting the alarm and I still have the battery going flat when the temeratures drop to say -2. I've had Suzuki test my charging system and it is fine. Last test is to leave my new battery out of the bike in the cold and see check for voltage drop. The batteries hold there charge in when stored in the conservatory. I'll report what I find.

Purchased the Cyclone c11 talking version from eBay. It took me about 45 minutes to install on my Gilera Runner 125 vx. Only had to call supplier once to verify what wire to attach the remote start to. Everything worked first time, I am very happy with the functions that this alarm offers for the mere price of £25 including delivery. I also found it very straight forward to fit and wire as the company supply you with the exact wiring diagram for your bike... Great piece of kit...

Found it really easy to fit, but I'm a spark so.....
The technical support seems to be in place if required. I went for the completely keyless option and got the extra connection info from the company the same day I asked.
I left the bike able to be started by the key or the alarm, works a treat.

A website explaining each wires function eg, the brown wire supplies power for the ignition to produce sparks means that you can then find that wire on your own machine and work out where and how to connect it, Another colour goes to the starter solenoid with the second press of the keyfob button or these wires go to the indicator relay to light up when the alarm is armed or disarmed. Going through every wire with a meter trying to second guess what each one is supposed to do has not borne much ...

Has anybody fitted one of these to a 2000 Sv650 yet?
Im a bit confused which blue cable to wire to the starter switch for the remote start as there are two. I am also having troubles finding the cable which goes to ground when the ignition is turned off.

I use my Cyclone C11 regularly and it is the best alarm system I've seen but it has a couple of things that need working on. Recently my bike immobiliser has kicked-in so my bike is unrideable until I get this fixed.

Ordered on sunday night via internet from motorbikealarms.co.uk, delivered tuesday AM.
Called to confirm one of the connections in the instructions and was greeted by a friendly knowledgable member of staff, who talked me through the installation.

If in doubt, spend the money you saved on an overpriced unit getting it professionally installed, I'm sure you'll have no issues.

I bought this off eBay after reading reviews and was not disappointed. Also when I received the alarm I had forgotten to tell them my bike make and model. They popped a message in the box to contact them for further instruction, so I did, and to my surprise they were able to tell me where and the exact wire colours and the best places to connect them - outstanding help! I had to phone them a few times as I'm not the most competent person in the world, however they were very patient with me and a ...

Overall, I wasn't completely happy with my C-11 purchase. But I didn't pay much for it, so I didn't have too many regrets. But the siren false triggering finally prompted me to start looking for something else. I finally found yet another "Cyclone" branded alarm, made by a company in Japan, named Kiramek. Apparently, this is not the same company who builds the C-11 alarms. Anyway, they offered me a discount on their Cyclone 866F model because I told them about my lackluster experience with the ...

A superb product with good instructions, superb performance and great reliability - it's totally faultless as far as I'm concerned. This product is too cheap for what you get and out performs many other alarms, even cat1!
I've fitted many alarms and this is a superb product that works first time, every time, fit and forget, it does not get any simpler.
Like I said before, if you get confused by wires and where things will fit, and how they fit, then get a person who knows what they are doing, ...

I thought I had bought a bargain, they say it has a 12 month warranty, but will not honour it after 28 days. My Cyclone C11 Alarm went faulty and I contacted them on the 29th day. He would not do anything about it. Please beware of this company.

Bought 2 for my sons, 1 for a Honda Cg125, 1 for a Yamaha 125 Custom. The instructions are NOT as easy as you might think, but with a moderate knowledge you can fit these things in a couple of hours! Each bike had its own problems.. The Honda had a Japanese wiring loom to the front which altered the colours but a quick call to the supplier had this sorted in minutes. The Yamaha has no ignition disable wire from the ignition which means it cannot turn off the engine (anti hijack) but with the new ...

Had this Cyclone C11 unit fitted to my Honda CBR 600 F as soon as I touched the bike it chirped a couple of times to let me know I had to disable the alarm, and very well fitted by the engineer. Excellent product recommend to all.

I am a professional motorbike alarm fitter based in the North.
I have recently bought a supply of Cyclone alarm systems from Motorbike Alarm.
These units are identical in performance and quality as the much more expensive models.
In fact the only difference is the price and the reason seems to be that some companies mark up by ten times, or so I've been told.
The little alarm even fits on to a Harley, which is by far the worst bike to fit an alarm on to.
Cyclone alarms also have an insuranc ...
