Anti-theft System for Monster 796 2012

[Kenshin]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on this forum, I've been looking for an anti-theft system for my Monster. I'm know about the OEM system but after some research  I came across the Scorpio SR-i900 and looks like it's got some advantages over the Ducati OEM sytem, one of them is the "hands free" function, configurability and two way FM paging system.

I don't want to splice the factory harness, this is the only one that will offer connector kits for Ducati.

* Any experience with the Scorpio SR-i900?
* Anyone has installed this in a 796? any adaptations required?

Thanks a lot, any feedback on this will be greatly appreciated.

I have this on my S2R and I'm very happy with it 

Pager works great, it has a battery voltage reader and the adjustable perimeter sensor tells people to back off.

One wire to the battery and plug in the factory harness connector - easy, but for once read the instructions!

Pager battery works for weeks. If you have a weak bike battery, it will require a bike battery charger if you don't for several weeks.

Thanks for the info, I'm definitelly considering to buy it!!

Did you also installed the ignition disable?? Where did you mounted the main module?

No ignition disable - I'm not comfortable with a device spliced into my ignition AND it's not thieves riding it off I'm worried about - the immobilizer is preventing that.

The main module goes under the seat. So does the perimeter sensor, but it is mounted in the center of the bike, and a little to the right to be as level as possible when the bike is on it's side stand (my under seat tray is curved)(if yours is not, try to build a platform that becomes level). That way it detects mass (people mostly) moving in from all sides.

Do note,  A talking alarm can offend some people.  Granted these people are low lives but I personally have seen some losers reactions to the talking car alarms.  Push a shopping cart next to it/into it..........

The best alarm is quiet and pages you so that you can show up before they take it.  How many times do we hear a car alarm go off and keep going about our business?  An audible alarm is not much a a deterrent.  Years ago in SoCal I watched some rather large gangster types pull a mini truck up next to a guys GSXR.  It took less than 30 seconds for them to pick up the bike and slide it into the back of the carpet kitted camper shell wearing pickup.

Luckily I was the only "Man" that witnessed this (amongst dozens of people) and chased the pickup with horn blazing until the cops picked us both up.  It only took a second to clear that up but I did end up face down on the pavement for a second.......

That's a programmable choice on the Scorpio
