remote starting (leaving bike to warm up)

[Guest]

is there anything out there where you can either

star your bike and remove keys to leave it to warm up(and not be stolen).

or a product that will just star the engine but you still need the keys to ride off.

so what would stop the thief from stealing the keys out of the ignition?

What do you need to warm it up for? You don't have heating

Start bike put lid and gloves on and ride off steadily

[techno]

Well except for the steady part

[mealexme]

there are products out there to enable you to start a bike wirelessly. I don't know how it works on bikes that you have to hold the clutch in to turn on though

that sort of thing.

try typing the name on the packet into Google. I can't read it as I am on my phone

I currently have an Aprilia RS125, and most people say if you don't let them warm up for a while, especially in winter, they will seize or blow up. I always let it warm up for a few minutes just incase.

I don't think I've ever owned a bike that did that, mine have started with the clutch out if the bike is in neutral.

Think i read somewhere that some bikes need the clutch in as well to start. I gues you would need to override that before you could use something like this. IMO i would prefer not to leave the bike running even if they couldn't steel it... they might try and drop it.

Get a big, angry, hungry dog to stand next to the bike..

[Throttled]

I don't see the point, a bike does not need to warm up like a car does and in any case, hot engine but cold tyres

in which case, I dont really know. Sorry

And I think the bandit you have to hold the clutch in... I'm not sure, I will check it next time I start it up

Usually the clutch switch is bypassed when the neutral light is active, so the bike starts o.k. with clutch out

Depends on the bike

And I would highly recommend not bypassing the clutch switch

Some bikes rely on the clutch switch been closed to run the right fuel map

[Remy]

My bike only starts with the clutch in ...

all suzuki's do

well every one that i know of anyway and thats a fair few

[Swiss Rolls]

i dont know exactley what products are out there but i have seen a few bikes with a remote starter, dont know if it makes any difference but i've only seen them on 125s, and they where coupled with some form of alarm aswell.

[Matt Strange]

I've had 4 suzukis iirc.

DRZ400 definitely did not have a clutch switch & would start in gear yeah, done it lol

Bandit 600 (old, carbs) would start in neutral without the clutch pulled in. Probably just broken and not supposed to be like that!

GSXR1000 k1/2 (can't remember which!) Can't remember as i usually leave the bike in gear when on a side stand to stop it from freewheeling, so i pull the clutch in anyway to start the bike

GSXR600 K4 see above!

I think Suzukis that have the turn signal/sidestand relay setup are the ones that only start with the clutch in, could be wrong though......

The correct fuel map should also run if the neutral light is on, the ecu should then ignore the clutch switch input as the engine would be running independently of the transmission in both circumstances. It's called an 'idle map', but obviously you can rev the engine off idle in neutral or in gear with the clutch pulled in....so that's not exactly an ideal name for it really.

If the clutch switch is bypassed, then it would be closed (bridged) so it would appear that the clutch is in all the time (when it isn't). The bike would run the idle map in gear & during riding if this were the case. I think you meant that the bike ECU relies on the clutch switch being open circuit to run the multiple maps/settings suited to various riding conditions?

[mealexme]

I checked, bandit only starts with clutch in...

[Ingah]

In direct answer to the OP:

That. There is also a v2 that's easier to fit.

Does far more than remote start, but does a good job for the price!
