I've been reading some of the older threads about the i900r security system and I have a few questions for Stryker owners who've installed it / used it for some time...

Do you find the unit to be reliable/ useful?
Have you noticed any quicker drain on the battery?
How easy was the install, and did you use the quick connect harness?

Thanks very much for taking the time to help.

Hey worm....I installed this on my bike at the beginning of this season and it is some of the best money that I have ever spend. Gives me piece of mind when leaving my bike unattended that it will be ok.

I really like the unit. I have it set so that when it is armed normally the permitter sensor is off. Great for quick times away from the bike or when parked in a lot with a lot of bikes around. With the permitter sensor armed, someone just going to their bike may set it off. I could decrease the setting some more but I like where its at now.

Have not noticed any difference in battery drain. That being said my unit is not always armed. My bike lives in my garage when i'm not riding so the alarm is not usually set when its in there.

Install was very easy. Just follow the instructions.


Hope this helps man. Its a great unit and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I was one of the first to put it on the bike and it is still working great. I haven't noticed any battery drain with it I've had it armed for a week with no problem and have had the bike in my garage for over a month without starting the bike and she started right up. I didn't use the the harness I just used the t-taps connectors that came with it. Here is the old post and shows how I mounted it if you haven't seen it yet

Thx Stryker.
Is the hookup really as simple as four T-taps? I was going to get the factory harness to simplify the install but that looks dead easy. It's also nice to hear that you haven't had any long term problems with it.

On a separate note, I think an alarm is going to be a must. Every time I leave the bike anywhere, even outside the grocery store for 15 minutes, a couple guys stop to check it out. Thats fine, but It's only a matter of time before some jackass decides to test the seat.

yep it hooks in very easy. They also have a ignition shut off accessory for it as well but I didn't get that part that will not allow the bike to be hot wired and you can kill the bike with the remote.

I just ordered the i900 with OEM harness from biohazardcycle.com.
Raven, Stryker, thanks very much for the info. Can't wait to install it. ;D

Installed my Scorpio today. It took just over an hour, and that's just because I'm picky about how I route the wires. I ordered the OEM style harness (YAM-10) so the connections were real stupid-friendly.
Shock and proximity sensors work great.

No more yahoos trying to sit on my bike.

your welcome its great having the extra security
