- Just installed the SPY 5000M 2-Way Motorcycle Alarm System. Comes with Microwave/Proximity sensor - Shock sensor - Remote Start & Disarm - LED light - parking light notification connections and 2 FOBs (keychain remotes) WARNING!!! DO NOT KEEP YOUR REMOTE attached to your motorcycle key. The vibrations while riding is HARMFUL.
FAQs:
Yes, this alarm works. I am/was not paid to endorse this product. The proximity sensor is adjustable and haven't had any issues. The shock sensor is adjustable too. It can be overwhelming to install once you see the installation guide but if you attack one wire at a time, it's less intimidating. Red, to your battery. The black (short) labeled ground to your frame, the 2 yellows to your parking lights and you have a functioning alarm. Connect the LED, SHOCK SENSOR, PROXIMITY SENSOR, and SIREN and you're good to go.
Connecting the remote start/disarm should be done by a professional or through trial and error. Have back up fuses, a (cheap) multi-meter and follow the wires from your (start button) and (ignition -key switch) and you'll figure it out. Buy extra wire... about 4 - 5 feet of red and black wires incase you need to extend some of the attachments. Zip ties and electrical tape needed.
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to help out.

Basically, you'll need...
Electric tape to wrap/hide the colored wires after you install everything. ( 1 or 2 rolls.) - Also when you connect extra wires together.
Wire splicers to cut the plastic shielding to expose the wires.
Wire connectors (optional)
Extra fuses (like the ones included) in case you accidentally blow a fuse installing the alarm.
Zip-ties to secure the wires together and/or to run them along your frame. (The zip ties worked awesome to secure the antennae
Alcohol wipes to clean areas of your bike where you are going to attach/install parts of the alarm.
Double sided tape. (about four 2 inch squares... these work good to hold the alarm parts to your plastic fairings.
Extra wires ( one small roll of red wire and small roll of black wire) I used this to extend the wires on the alarm. Depending on where you mount the individual parts of the alarm, some of the wire thats included isnt long enough. This will come in handy.
Be creative and keep in mind, you don't want anyone to see the alarm or the wires. (That's why I use electric ape to wrap the wires so it looks like its part of the bike's electrical wires.)
Good luck, hope that helps. - Jak na to + styl
Beautiful bike man! love that colour too!
Just wanted to say thanks for making this video, it is by far the best review video I have seen, I will be picking one of these up in the near future.
The Scorpio is by far the best but also the most expensive. This alarm has worked flawlessly every time. I park it in front of clubs.. when ppl stand too close.. it gives a warning signal and it vibrates my remote. Rain is a pain with the proximity sensor but thats common with most alarms. I would recommend this.
The Scorpio is probably the best of the best... But so far since January I have had no problems. I park my bike next to a night club and people used to touch my bike, lean on it, and a few times got on it to take pictures. Since I have had the alarm, it has prevented all that from happening. The rain triggers the microwave sensor..and the LED light sometimes stays on but I think it's my fault. All in all it's awesome. I've installed four on my friends bike already:)
Quite honestly, this is a 1st for me. I have since this video installed 40+ alarms on mostly Hondas... they are probably the most easiest bikes to install this alarm on. Other than one unit being bad from the factory.. there hasn't been issues like the one you have described. Double check your installation. Make sure your unit is properly grounded.
I am still using the alarm.. I have the flashing lights hooked to my LED street glow effect lights and it's insane!! Have no issues after Jan. 2011
I had this alarm around a year and a half now and I always keep the remote attached to the key, have done since day - I use it as a mini clock for my bike :) - not had any issues yet.
I have a KTM RC8, do you remember how to connect the remote start wires ?
Cool video, Helped me decide to buy this model. They are $45 on amazon now
Can you turn the vibration sensor off and keep the Proximity sensor on?
It's quiet windy in the UK, and we have a lot of chavs with obnoxious exhausts which sets off my current alarm..
Just bought one of these and did the basic connection to the bike just for alarm. I unlocked the alarm and as I was putting the bike back together it was triggering the alarm? Any help would be great
Thanks
I was in a store with my bike parked below in as similar garage like in the vid and my pager went off. Very good!
Hi does the Main Module & the Microwave Sensor needs to be apart, like U have them. Fixed on an FJR13, had both under Rear Seat. Izzit ok, will it affect the detetion...? THANKZ...
hello. I got a benelli trk 502 with spy 5000 but directions ligths won't work. I try a lot of reading and i saw somewere that the problem is the lower voltage of benelli in ligths. Can you help me? Thank's
I have a problem with the siren. All was working fine for 6 monts and yesterday the siren doesnt work. All other stuff (blinks, remote control arm/disarm etc) works fine but the siren doesnt work. Any idea what might happenned? Maybe i disable siren from remote? Thanks.
I have a 2012 Yamaha R1 where do I connect my remote start wires.... please help me, I have everything else connected except that and the brown wire
Thank you so much for your video men, also thank you to show as how we installed and how works ;)
I noticed with mine, after I shut off the bike after like 5 or 10 seconds the bike chirps 3 times at me then the remote vibrates. is there a way to disable that. I want to be able to shut the bike off and not make any noise if I don't want to set the alarm
I installed it myself. I say it took about 2 hours or so. I was well prepared with extra wires, tools, zipties, alcohol wipes, electrical tape, wire connectors. Don't forget to bring an mp3 player to help pass the time..lol
I bought this alarm, asked the bikeshop to put it on for me unfortunately its nowhere as sensitive as yours. the shock alarm only works when I hit the rear of my bike around the rear seat, the microwave sensor only works when i sit on the bike.
Do you have any suggestion I can move the brain/microwave sensor around? Also which one is the front and rear of the microwave alarm? Is it the side with the sensor sensitivity adjuster? Or the one without it?
Also the bike shop refuse to connect the CDI wire because they claimed that there were users who spoilt their CDI with the alarm system and they dont wanna risk their business. What do you think?
P.S i'm riding a 06 YZF-R6
Is there any way to disable the arm reminder(3 beeps) after you turn off the ignition?
Sometimes i come home late and i dont want the 3 beeps as soon as i stop the engine to go off.
Nice ride.
Can I place the ig wire in with the 10A ig fuse so I dont have to cut wires. Alars still arms after turning it off
I just bought the spy 5000m, Its right in front of me in the box. Im taking delivery on a new shadow spirit vt750c2f and I def need this installed. The remote start isn't a necessity and I don't expect any issues with a basic alarm install, but the confusion most people have is with the grey and pink wires and what to do with them? Any clarity would help. Thanks. Also will the anti hi-jack still work from the key fab, if the remote start wires aren't connected?
Seems like a nice alarm there. Nice vid
Hey how you doing? i have a question, i recently purchase the Spy5000m for my 2009 Yamaha R1 the blue wire is the starter wire, i am having problem locating the start line"Wire" on the 09 R1..any ideas??? Would be greatly appreciated..Thanks
Hi quick question if someone comm8ng close to bike sensitivyty alarm goes off if they walk out is it stop? On video stoped but wasnt sure did you switched it off or it does itself when person walk away
My technician can't get it to autostart without the key inserted. He's having a hard time to bypass the immobilizer on 2015 Yamaha YZF 600 R6. He told me to look for bypass interface. Please help.
Hello
The alarm was working fine until the transmitter ran out of battery while the alarm was armed
I took out the fuse so that I could come home without the alarm sound
And since then the transmitter isn't t charging
Only when I press the disarm button it makes a certain music that the manual says it means the transmitter tries to connect the rain unit ant then shuts off
Same thing with the second transmitter
Please help!!
I just returned from military duty in Japan and had my bike in storage. The alarm worked before I left but it’s not working anymore. Do you know what might be the cause? Thanks
hi everybody,,im considering to buy one of these,however i have a concern,i lived on 25th fl and the bike are in basement,will i be able to hear the beep or vib etc???thanks in advance
hahaha... thanks. I love my bike and that 900rr u have. I used to own that bike and it was and still is a beast!!!
Hello i purchased this alarm to install on my 08 Hayabusa, and like everyone here I'm having trouble identifying the correct wires on it, so far I've figured where to power the unit and the blinkers to make it work just as an alarm but i would like to install the anti hijacking feature of it with out having to use the remote start part of it, and also I'm having problems setting the sensitivity of the microwave sensor even though is turned up all the way I'm not getting results i literally have to put my hand on it for it to go off could this be a manufacturers issue?
if you could help i would greatly appreciate it thanks.
The micro wave aka proximity sensor is included. You can toggle it on or off using the remote. To adjust the sensitivity use the dial on the sensor itself. You have to play with it to adjust it to your needs. Rain makes it alarm but that happens with every brand. Try to install it near plastic more than metal. The less metal interfearance, the better.
Hi.
How is the motorbyke batery drain? How long can you leave it armed and still be able to start the bike?
Thanks
Hello, I just purchased the same alarm. How do you sync the remote to the newly installed alarm unit ? I read instructions but it does not say anything. Thank you
Thank you for the explanation. You have a great motorcycle! I'm from Malaysia :)
Hi bishop6, sorry this is a long explanation but I'm currently installing this alarm on my cbr600 f3 and I'm having this issue in testing right now - I attach my battery and the alarm is disarmed, it arms itself after like 10-15 seconds and after a few seconds shows the impact sensor being triggered and sets off the warning and then the alarm. After disarming it just does the same thing again, and the led is constantly flashing 4 times to indicate the impact sensor alarm.. I'm testing with my bike on a stand and without the ignition kill or auto start connected - just positive, the 2 grounds, and signals - I'm not sure why I'm having this issue.. My manual doesn't show anything about adjusting the shock sensitivity, do you have any insight?? It would be greatly appreciated
Can anyone help?! I connected positive (RED) and negative (BLACK) and other ground (BLACK WITH RING) wires only. I will do Indicators light (YELLOWS) if and when i get this part sorted. Alarms works, sounds operates etc, but arms itself after 30 seconds during warm up of bike. Is this because i havent done the other wires (Brown, Pink, Blue and i dont recall the other atm). Or maybe the learning code button? Any help would be appreciated.
how to change the time on the LCD key part from military time to 24 hour time
Hey. How to disable arming reminder? I did not find this information in the instructions.
Hi, What size drill did you use to make the hole for the LED light? Thank you! Kevin.
BTW.... When ur not sure about what wire to connect/cut/or splice... i used a razor to cut a little of the plastic off the bikes wires to expose the wire underneath. Prehistoric as it sounds.. It works. A cheap multi-meter from Radio Shack helps too.
Is there any way to disable the arm reminder(3 beeps) after you turn off the ignition?
can you make a video on how to reprogram the alarm using both remote.
Hi, just had a quick question for you. Did you know if there was a way to set the auto alarm to set a silent alarm?
Hello,
My microwave sensor stopped working. Whr is the support center any info?. Can you please tell me on your microwave sensor we have one sensor controller Can you tell me that number Iguess that controller stopped working ...will wait for your reply .thanks
@Maui330 the 5000m means the amount of distance that the remote will detect any attempted theft or harm, remote will work up until about 50m, any further than that and arming, disarming, and remote starting wont work
my spy5000 just arrive.I want to install it on my honda fury. Could you pls help me on how to installed?
nice bike and alarm! great review
hi, and well done for you gret video!! i've got a qusestion for you and i'll be pleasant if you will answer me.... i've a few day's installed this alarm to a Honda cbr f4i 2004 and i didn't connet the brown and the blue wires wich they are for the remote start. my problem is that the blue led on the bike is blinking all the time, when the alarm is locked and when is unlocked, even when the bike is working and i can't understand why.... if i connect the brown wire to the acc wire of the bike, will it stop blinking when the bike is on? thank you very much!
@kawaskins ... it is always recommended to use a battery tender if you're not riding for weeks or more... but the alarm uses very little battery consumption... it depends on the charge of your battery.
still working like a champ.
Did you have any issues with KTM's factory immobiliser, and what year is your KTM?
I ask because I have a 2015 KTM 1290 SA.
Excellent video. Good work Mike. ...Nice bike. Enjoy.
thanks! sorry, I missed this comment
hey dude,,,can u tell me how to make a motorbike accident alarm.???
Actually my idea is, if a person is about to get or got an accident,in that person's bike the should be an alarm fixed to it. The alarm should be connected to his phone because if he gets an accident someone who knows him should come to help him.So that alarm should be connected to his contacts also.And tell me what is needed in this alarm.Please it is very urgent i need it before August 10th 2015.Please help me..
what is battery timing of remote
and also tell me is this huge impact on motorcycle batter
Guys , hows the power consumption ? Can it kill you battery or what ? Can you not plug the start bike wire ? Can you adjust sensivity ?
Can you set up the remote start to only work if you have the bike in neutral? That way if you forget and leave it in gear, when you hit the remote to start the bike it won't do anything ?
I barely got the spy 5000 and I'm stuck on the blue wire that goes to the starter or relay but I don't know which is the starter relay?
@MrTrippleRAINBOW - yes, it will definitely work. I've installed it on two scooters already.
when I programed my remotes the microwave sensor was not connected, is that why the light on it or it wont work?
Hi could i ask on the manual what's transmitter vibration sensitivity is for? Another thing is though i activated the microwave sensor, it somehow didnt really work when i wave my hands across the bike or when i am standing near the bike for > 15 seconds.. any idea? thanks.
I know this is a old video, but does the blinking light affect battery life.
Thanks.. it's a KTM RC8 1190CC. This is the original model which is faster and longer than the production model. it has been upgraded with the 2011 RC8R engine and club race kit.
EXCELLENT VID!!! Very GNAR!!!
is the remote pager loud enough to wake you up if something is happening to your bike at night while you are sleeping?
what about is someone cuts the alarm out from the bike? will the alarm go off?
i have my alarm unit mounted on the side of my bike behind my fairings and it has been exposed to the rain and car washes. I ride year round and it has not failed. I did however get the remote wet and it went dead.. a few days later with a hair dryer and it was working again.
@swetuna: Thanks... its been over a year and its still working perfectly.
Great vid, well done !!
my friend said there's no room under the seat on his RC8, how did you install it?
sorry to bother you but ive fitted one of these alarms and its good but i can only get the remote start to turn the engine over without starting, as if its not getting a spark, the bike is a 2004 gsf600 on carbs, ive connected blue wire to starter relay, brown wire to my lights as they come live as soon as ignition is turned on, all other wires are as instructed but what am i missing for the remote start?
thanks in advance!
I just installed this on my Blackbird. I have another SPY (without a pager) on my other bike so installing it was a breeze but as I was wondering about the brown wire. Did you connect it (the one you connect to the ignition on wire). I don't like the reminder beep when you turn off the ignition so I cut the write. However, the led light doesn't reset itself if the alarm has gone off. I also don't like the auto re-arm.Other than the the alarm is great and the range is terrific.
WOW !! That is a beautiful bike man ! What is it haha and nice video you help with my decision for my 09 zx6r Thank you !
Helow how about the battery consumption is this economical for a week.
How do you install the remote start for a gsxr 600 i don't know where to connect the pink and grey wire.
Can I buy a new transmitter if i lost the original ones
i have the same alarm , it was working the other day then i tried moving it and it stopped working , i checked everything , and i mean everything and it is all fine . but now the remote either one don't pick up anything and the alarm don't make any sound or anything . i need help i have a 750 gsxf katana 1998 .
@kparada4 : It wasn't too difficult at all. Don't let all the wires intimidate u. The red goes to power, the short black is ground and you basically have a working alarm. The rest are accessories such as your parking lights, mircowave sensor, remote start, etc.
Just work one wire/one pair at a time and b4 u kno it, you're done.
Good luck and hit me up if you run into any troubles.
hey Bishop, I have a gsx-r 600 where is the best place to install the perimeter sensor because it said in the manual not to install it near metal?? and isn't the antenna will get dirty where you put it? cuz I put mine inside the rear light cover to the metal.
hi, so there is a setting where its silent alarm right? so if ppl get too close or shook my bike, only the signal lights would go out without the sound going off?
cuz i live in HK, parking can be bit packed, people would hate me if everytime they walk close it goes off loud lol, a visual warning should suffice
Hey i just bought this alarm and im trying to figure out how to turn the Microwave/Proximity on or off? Or how to rurn the alram off when im not using it. Any ideas???
@blurei4 : umm.. the microwave sensor has only one possible connection.. check the end of the wire on the sensor.. it can ONLY attach to one of the plugs on the main unit.
Hi there, I am installing the EXACT same system.
Where to connect pink, grey and blue wire?
pink/grey are for start blocking, do I install it directly on the bobine?
4cilinder bikes have 2 bobines, which one and which color (GREEN/RED-RED/BLACK)?
blue one is for remote start, still a mistery =S
please help
hi. i have the same alarm on my xj6 and was wondering if its possible to turn off the alarm signal noise. when u press the lock key twice the alarm is activated and with sound, and it does *bip* *bip*, its that noise i want to turn off. makes my head hurt in the morning..
thanks
How do you toggle the microwave prox sensor on and off with the remote. Thanks
I have the same alarm but can't find the booklet how do you set the proximity censer to high
Can you still put other locks (disc, U, chain) and a cover over the bike without tripping the alarm?
i have the 2012 zx10r but cant seem to get the bike to start.. the alarm is hook up,but cant get it to start
I've just installed the spy 5000,
If it isnt on the alarm, without key in it.
Then it starts to beep 2 times every 10 sec.
its very annoying when im at the gas station. or just sitting still on my bike.
how did you get it off?
How do you stop the automatic rearming?
Thanks @Mario!!!
if the microwave sensor is inside the bike how does it detect motion?
@JDarrII : that feature is determined (only) by your bikes settings. most bikes won't start if it's in gear. some bikes won't start but the engine cranks (enough that the bike can lurch forward enough for it to come off the kick stand)
Honestly, most people don't usually have issues, but I hate leaving my bike parked in neutral that's why I don't use auto start. SF had tooo many hills.
I have a problem with my remote controller. I took off the battery of my remote control en then put it again in it.
The problem that I'm facing now is that there's no connection between my remote control and the "unit". When I push on a button of my remote control nothing happens except for the beep-sound on my remote control. There are also no stripes of the signal strength on my remote.
Could you please tell me what is going wrong?
Thank you
Hi bishop6, can I get some help to configure the remote control, I don´t know why it is not working, the LCD is not showing anything other than there is no signal, does not show it is armed or unarmed, when I press the unarm button the the signal icon flash but the light does not turn on. I can confiure the date and time on the remote but that´s it. I know we can configure the remote using the little button on the module, but I tried several different things and did not work. Thanks in advance..
How do you set the shock to be more active? Or more sensitive
@flipmode00 : I have my perimeter sensor in my rear cowling... I've also installed some inside the left front fairing near where a person would stand if they were about to get on the bike. The sensor is powerful and adjustable so anywhere is fine... Test a few locations b4 u permanently mount it.
The antennae is water proof so as long as it's mounted securely u should have zero issues with it. The more metal its near, the stronger the signal.
in order to keep costs low, they most likely didn't invest too much in the remotes. Use it as a learning lesson. My remotes are shrink wrapped to prevent moisture and dirt. I NEVER have them on the keychain on the bike... the vibrations and bumping around eventually will cause problems.
They're not too expensive to replace either.
Hi, any experience on installing this on a Honda Zoomer/Ruckus?
Hi, I still waiting for alarm to arrive. If i wanna connect the engine start and kill. Where should i be finding the wire? I have the wiring diagram of my bike(2009 ZX6R). Should i be connecting to Ignition switch or Right handle bar start and kill buttons? Thx in advance
