Use a volt meter and look for a wire that only has power when the ignition is on.

Have to find a power wire that shuts off when the key is turned off. Then tie into that wire with the power wire from the unit.

I personally would not buy this style unless you have a windscreen myself mine only lasted a year! But you tie then into your break light, lights are constantly on once you turn your key really easy to do if you know how to trace your wires.

there is a sensor that goes on the pedal crank.I did not use it I just use the throttleif you unplug the crank sensor the throttle works just fine

IT JUST REQUIRES ONE WIRE TO POWER IT. This one wire needs to be hot, 12 volt positive any time the engine is to be running and it needs to turn off when you shut the engine off.

I have mine on my bike inside on a trainer right now. The wiring needs to go to the back wheel since the front wheel does not turn. The wire is a bit short since it is made for the front wheel, but I made it work. Instead of using the bracket to attach the unit to my handlebars, I just used a wire tie to hold it in place. It is kind of lame, but it does the job temporarily. I hope to get outside with it eventually....then I can attach it firmly to the front wheel.

There is no actual "off" switch. If you plan to have a temp lower then what the stat is used for, I would suggest another model or add a switch to it.

That's what I do...I run off the lithium battery until if gets low, then flip the switch over to the lead acid battery. I did have to change out the terminal, because my bike came with the bladed terminals and the lithum battery fits in with the buttoned terminal, but it was a cheap and easy fix.

You should be good if you hook it to either the starter or lights some how if you hook it directly to the battery just make sure you turn off the power when bike is not running

cycling is not on and off on and off constantly . There is a window of temp change that must occur before the thermostat changes to a higher temp or for the thermostat to react ( go 'on' )due to a tem drop. Ihave not heard this action you speak of nor heard any audible humm. It works not unlike the termostat on your home air conditioner. A very slight temp change is NOT going to make the comprerssor go on - or off. Otherwise -every couple of miutes it would go on or off constantly.

Providing it has a battery just run the + wire to the + on your battery and then out a toggle switch in the wire to turn on and off. and then just run the - wire to the - on the battery it simple and easy!

Like Kyle said. As long as you have enough room hide the actual unit everything else Is just wires. Before you purchase see if there is any spot on you bike that can do this ( behind your fairing, under rear seat, tail section ext...) To put the size of the unit into perspective it's about the size of an individual milk carton that you use to get in school.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtYcgqGXUqY. Check out my video. Its a review of the gorilla alarm

Depends on how you wire them up. Most people wire them up so that when ever your ignition switch is on, so are the lights but others like them to stay on (and drain the battery) when the bike is turned off so then you have to wire them directly to the battery or install the toggle switch which comes with them. So it all depends on your preference.

Make sure you follow the instructions regarding the throttle. If it is in the wrong position it will shut off.

Only shut off would be to disconnect the wire to the solar panel. Then reattach when your ready to use again. Hope this helps,Larry

Yes. When my bike battery/controller *was working* I went back and forth in those modes. I used the throttle action to get up hilly spots, and manual pedal to exercise my legs. You can do both modes without turning the switch on and off - if the controller is not damaged. But that's another story...

i guess if you want to be absolutley safe about it, you could install a circuit breaker. i run my direct off the battery, works fine.

The best person to ask this would be your mechanic. The wiring is made to connect with the alarm and disconnect manually. As I am using it now I have to press it manually. Perhaps your mechanic knows how to inter-connect the two. Sorry I was not more helpful.

Email the factory. I did, and they gave a nice, lucid, well-timed response. I am not electrically trained, experienced, or inclined, so I really have no clue and wouldn't even hazard a guess. I know it will start my truck. I have confidence it will start my bike if needed.
