I'm writing up this "how to" alarm guide that was made for me by a friend.
This is an exact guide for the Hawk or Cyclone Systems.
Although it will probably be the same for other brands.
Or at least help in some way if its not an exact replica.
Bike Used In Pictures: Yamaha YZF R125
Tools You Will Need:
Right to start off you want to remove the 10 amp fuse from the red wire with the inline fuse.
This is so you don't end up blowing the circuit, plus its stops the alarm from being on.
So if you connect it up, you just end up setting off the alarm.
Step 1 - Power Supply:
Now you need to connect up the power supply.
Its red to the positive terminal and green to the negative terminal of the battery.
Then you need to earth the alarm.
To do this take the single green wire and connect to any part of the bikes frame.
Its easiest of you secure it using one of the existing bolts that secure to the frame as shown.
Step 2 - Indicators:
Always make sure you connect to the positive side of the indicator.
Otherwise you will blow the inline fuse for that particular indicator.
Wiring up to the rear indicators is usually easiest.
This is because its closest to the main alarm (as normally positioned in the rear tail section).
Step 3 - Ignition Live:
The ignition live is a wire that produces a 12 volt positive supply.
The only wire that does that (on the R125) goes through the fuse box and is the brown wire with the thinner blue stripe a shown in the picture.
So connect the black wire with the red stripe from the alarm to the brown with blue stripe.
Step 4 - Immobilisation:
The red wire with the black stripe from the fuse box is the ignition system of the bike (on the R125) and you can use this to immobilise the bike.
Fuse 64 onwards is the red/black wire which goes to the kill switch and the starter system so its stops the bike running completely.
Now you need to make sure you get the wires the right way round.
So find the red wire with the black stripe coming from the fuse box to the main loom and cut it in the middle.
Then the half of that wire coming from the fuse box needs to be connected to the white wire with the black stripe from the alarm.
And then the other half of the red wire with the black stripe that comes from the main loom needs to be connected to the black wire with the white stripe from the alarm.
And that's all the complex wiring done!
Now its just time to simply plug everything in to the main alarm box like:
Once that is done, all you need to do is route all your wiring as neatly and discreetly as possible.
try to keep them all together as much as possible and wrap them well with the electrical PVC tape.
This will keep everything secure and also waterproof.
Once that's done, put the 10 amp inline fuse for the positive connection wire back in.
Your alarm is fully functioning and ready to go!

Tools You Will Need:
- Wire-strippers or knife (don't use your teeth!).
- Soldering iron or bullet connectors (don't twist the wires).
- Crimping pliers (if you're using the bullet connectors).
- Electrical PVC tape.
- Any allen keys/screwdrivers needed to remove your fairings etc.

And that's all the complex wiring done!
Now its just time to simply plug everything in to the main alarm box like:
- The speaker.
- The LED.
- The main wiring loom.
Once that is done, all you need to do is route all your wiring as neatly and discreetly as possible.
try to keep them all together as much as possible and wrap them well with the electrical PVC tape.
