Guide to installation of Spy 5000m alarm and remote start! There is really nothing out there so Im going to explain the way I did it with tips and pictures! *I am not responsible for any damage done so do at your own risk (I fried my computer the first time I did it). The bike is a 2007 cbr600rr but you can use this for other years too but wires may be different-- pm me if you need help.

Lets get to work:

1. Remove necessary parts-- DO NOT FORGET TO REMOVE THE BATTERY!

2. Hide all the equipment and run the wires - I used space under the seat and in passenger seat (when I installed the Led the whole was too large that I drilled so I lined the light with tape to secure it).. Dont forget to add heat shrink to protect the wires and keep them organized/compact **I moved some of my equipment than pictured to be better hidden**

3. Yellow wires - Splice into bikes turn signals (light blue and orange wire in photo)

Image


3. Blue wire- Splice into bikes red/yellow wire on large relay with main 30amp fuse (This is what starts the bike and I think its the starter relay but correct me if im wrong)

Image


4. Brown Wire- needs to go into any of the bikes key on positive so I spliced into one of the wires on the back of the fuse box (i think it was one going into the headlight/turnsignals/ horn relay but use a test light to find one) --- it is the red/black bike wire

Image


5. Pink and Gray wires are the ones that confuse everyone the most so here is how I did it -- You need to find a wire that is hot when the kill switch is on and turns off when the kill switch is off (use a test light!) I found a red wire (it was solid red but it looked like a white or silver dot on it too) that goes in the back of a harness on the right of the battery. Once you find this wire you have to cut it and connect the gray to the side going from the harness and connect the pink to the side going towards the harness (I soldered the wires & dont forget heat shrink or some sort of insulations)

Image


6. The red and black wires -- are attached to the battery last (use an adapter thing at the end of the wires to secure the connection -mine are marine ones) *there are two grounds in this set up so dont be confused that you have two black wires, both are grounds although I did not connect both to the battery (One is connected to the frame)**

Image


7. Your spy alarm and bike are now set up! Check all connections and start playing with the remote! I have a digital copy of the manual as well so pm me if you need that.

question, whe i unplug the rear signal light which is blue and orange, does it matter where you splice it ? the harness going to the bike or the harness going to the lights ?
 
#48 ·
Shouldnt matter. It will be a part of the circuit either way as long as the tail light is connected to its pigtail, you will be fine. I would splice it into the harness going to the bike though, that way you have fewer cables to remove when pulling off your tail.

I put my speaker on the right side in the tail(also removed the tab) and I threw my proximity sensor underneath the tank cover.

so question for Qteter, if the bike was arm, and lets say im out of the range from it, it is still going to be armed and will scare the thief right? it just that i wont be able to see that on my key chain right?

So today my system shorted kinda... When it chirped it would flash my headlights with the turn signals.. It sprinkled a little today but I don't know of this contribute to it cause it's rained hard on it several times already.. Anyways I unplugged everything and moved the wires and it's working perfectly again... Maybe a pinched wire? I wonder of they make something to put under the seat to protect the wires from water?
