motorcycle alarm, need tutorial

Are you planning to install it as a remote starter or are you going to just use the alarm and ignition kill function of it? There's no indication that there's any safeties built into it for remote starting, so I wouldn't use it for that. Use it just for the alarm, flashing lights, and noisemaker, but not the RS.

Oh yeah, the safety mechanisim in place is that the bike won't start when its in gear and the kickstand is down, so that should take care of that

Problem is that you might be sure to leave it in park, but you can't be sure someone else didn't click it down into gear without you knowing. Wouldn't be good to hit the remote and then watch it lurch off the sidestand onto the ground.. The unit doesn't seem to have an input to detect something like a neutral switch, otherwise you could have used that to detect if it's safe to start. Is the bike fuel injected? If not, and you need to operate a choke or enrichment lever, it wouldn't do any good anyway, since the RS won't do that for you. I think any benefits from having an RS on a bike are pretty minor compared to the potential drawbacks. It's not like there's a heating system to warm up the interior, like on a car, so you're going to sit on a cold seat in either case. The scissor in the diagram is just saying you would cut the line from the bike's ignition switch output going out to the ignition circuit, giving control through the relay with the green wire. It lets the alarm unit open or close the connection to disable or enable the ignition. You'd need to bench test it first, but the other scissor shown is probably to open up the kill switch line that normally disables the ignition when the ignition switch is off. If it were left connected, the remote start wouldn't work even if it supplied power to the ignition. What's strange is that they seem to presume the colors of the wiring from the ignition switch is the same on all the bikes, which isn't the case. You'll have to dig around for information on your specific bike to find the right wires to hook up to.

If you wire in at the right point so the interlock is still functional, it might work then. So there's no choke to contend with when you start?

I've installed an automatic choke so that should work

Alright, so here's as far as I get, I know the big red coming out of the relays is a straight positive hook-up. The big blue coming out of the relays comes on for 3secs when I hit the remote start so I would hook this up to the starter? The Big orange and big and green ones turn on and stay on when the remote start is hit, would I cut the ignition on wire and place one at each end? Still not sure about grey and pink. Any help?
