Cyclone C11

Cyclone C-11 bike alarms are without doubt excellent value for money. Though in all honesty the cyclone V2 is sooo much better for japanese bikes and for only a few quid more. Would go for one of those for all but small bikes and thats my best advice. Found both nigel and james to be very helpful and willing to help, which sells it for me.

Have also tried Hawk, though for a car alarm. Found their support staff very rude and quick to blame the customer. I dont think the issue is overly helped by the fack that Hawk is blatently run by people for whom english is not their first language. Apparently all hawk alarms can be disabled by shorting out an indcator bulb according to MCN!

i have a cyclone c11 alarm system fitted to my motorbike but the imobiliser has kicked in and cannot start my bike does any one no how to sort this problem out as im running out of options thanks all help apriciated

bandit 600 had a meta that got me stranded so removed it and fitted the C-11

what a fab alarm/imobilser

would surely recommend it

easy to insall/set up

sentivity can be ajusted accordingly

great alarm fob

Bought a one 4 years ago and still going strong! Im am in the process of buying a new bike and would use one again, though would probably now go for the newer V2 type they sell as it is more specific for Japanese bikes and have a no wire cutting fitting system.

I do think the little cheap unit is ideal for small bikes or those wanting basic security. Have also tried the Hawk alarm, which someone has mentioned, but was a little worried about the fact that it seems that is can be disabled by simply shorting out an indicator. I saw this on a blog and tried it on my old cb 250, and it does disable it.The cyclone has protection against this and seems to be the only alarm in this price that is security based.

All in all cant fault it for the money. I will let you know how the V2 is when I finally get one.

Fitted succesfully on bandit6 and I think its c#@p. When its armed I can carefully take the bike and walk with it for miles, unless I tap the bike with my hand it wont go!

I got all support I wanted about fitting it, but when I asked about that issue I got no reply at all.

So thanks a lot, but I think Im going to return it to the seller.

Very cheap alarm, but it schould be much more sensitive.

Value for money? Please..

Four bikes and each has had the cyclone alarm fitted. Why well they are cheap and one loud and reliable alarms. Not one of the others that set them selves and go off every two minutes. Easy instal with wireing diagram for my bike not for any other bike. Takes me now 15 minutes to get this up and running simple as they say.

You can go buy a £300 alam but personally I'd go for the Cyclone C11 everytime.

Sniff

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 fruit and I do know my way around a meter and wiring loom. The start + - and remote Labels on the wires are ambiguous without the diagram and operating instructions. A simple scan of these would solve so many problems very easily and would not take much effort.
