Hi,

I just recently bought Cyclone C-11 Talking Alarm and I have a hard time in finding someone that could install on my bike (06 kawasaki ninja 250R) in Sacramento, CA. I don;t really have guts to install it since I am still a noob in biking especially the parts and stuff like that. Do you guys know any place or solution to install it? Please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Have a safe ride.

I just installed an alarm on my 06 ninja250 last Saturday... not the same model alarm but it was pretty easy. Apart from figuring out where to put the alarm box the hardest part was figuring out which wire to cut for the ignition kill. I did take the gas tank and a bunch of the plastic off but that's no big deal.

I have no idea where you could take it... seems like any independent mechanic would be able to do it in an hour or so though.

Thanks for the response. I have been calling and shopping around but none of the stores so far that would like to install it since I bought it online. They only want to install the alarm if I purchased it from them. I bought it for only $52 while they are selling more than $99.

I will try to install by myslef but just don;t want to ruin my happy riding if something goes wrong.

Dude, it's super easy. I just installed a Gorilla Cycle Alarm in mine this past weekend.

Hardest part installing alarms is finding the right wire and splicing into it. Most kits though give you the little vampire tap splicing thingamajiggy so it is pretty painless.

The sooner you start learning on your bike, the sooner you won't be such a newb.

Mine would've been a 10-minute job if not for the ignition kill...which your alarm may or may not have.

As mentioned by sharp they had little vampire tap thingies to go into the tail light wires and the whole thing would've slipped right into the space in front of the tail light. Unfortunately the ignition kill relay and other stuff forced me to mount mine further forward... but it still wasn't a big deal.
