Cyclone 866F Components
Engine Immobilizer: When the Cyclone system is armed,
the motorcycle cannot be started, even with the key in the ignition.
Cyclone utilizes a 20 amp relay to prevent the engine from
starting. The relay is built into the main alarm system housing
unit for maximum compactness and easy installation.
Ignition Trigger Sensor: When the Cyclone system is armed, and
the ignition is turned to the ON position, the siren will
immediately sound.
Dual-Stage Shock Sensor: Cyclone utilizes a sophisticated shock
sensor. Unlike many of our competitors, we use a dual-stage
shock sensor: one for detecting light shock and another for
detecting hard shock. The light shock sensor is completely
adjustable and will only trigger warning chirps to prevent
further tampering. The hard shock sensor, is for detecting heavy
impact to the motorcycle and triggers the full-stage siren. The
hard shock sensor is also fully adjustable.
Dual-Axis Tilt Sensor: In addition to the shock sensors, the
Cyclone 866F utilizes a dual-axis tilt sensor to detect change
in inclination from side to side or front to back. Unlike some
alarm system manufactures who utilizes technology from the
1970’s (mercury switch), Cyclone utilizes a digital device to
detect changes in tilt. Our tilt sensor is so sensitive it can
detect a change of 3 degrees or more.
World's Smallest Motorcycle Alarm System: The Cyclone 866F is
no larger than a pack of cigarettes, yet contains all of the
best features known to prevent motorcycle theft. Obviously,
compact size is a necessity when considering the limited space
available for concealing an alarm system on a modern motorcycle.
The combination of these features and its incredibly compact
design makes it the world's smallest full-featured motorcycle
alarm system.
Limited Lifetime Warranty: Cyclone is the ONLY motorcycle alarm
system in the United States which offers a limited lifetime
warranty. The quality of each component put into the Cyclone
866F, combined with sophisticated engineering practices and
quality control, allows us to offer the only lifetime warranty.
Our warranty covers all components of the Cyclone 866F, except
the internal back-up battery which is covered by a one year
warranty, against defect and malfunction.
Internal Back-up Battery: The Cyclone 866F motorcycle alarm
system has a built-in back-up battery, meeting the requirements
of most insurance company policy discounts for having a security
device. Unlike one of our competitors which claims to use a
back-up battery but only uses a capacitor, Cyclone utilizes a
Ni-MH battery which is capable of blasting the full-stage siren
for up to 2 continuous hours if power is ever cut or disconnected.
Built-In 120 dB Piezo Siren: To save space, Cyclone engineers
utilized a 120 dB Piezo siren, which is built into the main
alarm housing unit. Also, Cyclone engineers turned the decibels
down to 110 to eliminate annoying arm and disarm chirps.
Optional One-Way paging System: Cyclone offers a paging system
which simply plugs into your Cyclone 866F.
All Black Wiring Harness: An all black harness has a better
appearance than a multi-colored wiring harness.
Just a few of the many other features Cyclone has to offer.
Manual Disarm (secrete code): This feature allows the owner to
disarm the Cyclone 866F alarm system manually, if you should ever lose
your remote, using the secrete ignition code. The secrete ignition
code can also be changed.
Sleep/Valet Mode: This function is used to reduce power consumption
and is ideal for long-term storage of the motorcycle or when you take
your motorcycle into the repair shop.
Silent Mode: The owner can turn the siren off, yet the alarm system
will still operate as normal: locking the engine and sending silent
notification to the owner when the system is trigger if the optional
paging system has been installed.
Sector Bi-Pass System (SBS): SBS prevents the Cyclone 866F from
becoming a noise nuisance. If the alarm system is triggered ON and OFF
five times, and the owner never responds by disarming the system,
Cyclone will shut itself off to avoid becoming a nuisance. This
feature can be disabled.
Selectable Sensors: Arm the system to utilizes shock sensor or tilt
sensor individually, or use both tilt and shock together. You can also
turn off the full-stage shock sensor and use only the warning chirp
sensor.
Auto Arm: Automatically arms 5 minutes after the ignition is turned
off. The feature can be bypassed by arming and disarming the alarm
after you turn your motorcycle off.
Siren Trigger memory: When disarmed, the system informs you with
chirps and flashes if the siren went off in your absence.
Pro-Install Kit:
“Pro-Install Kits give you access to all of the information professionals have when installing a motorcycle alarm system. The Pro-Install Kit includes easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, specifically written for your motorcycle. The kit also includes an easy-to-read schematic which shows you how to locate the essential wires, specific to your motorcycle, through the use of wire color codes and two points of location. The kit also includes Posi-Connectors. The Posi-Connectors eliminate the need to solider or crimp wires together. Posi-Connectors are easy to use and guarantee a secure, trouble free, insulated wire connection. Another advantage of Posi-Connectors is the ease of returning your motorcycle’s wiring to nearly original condition should you ever decide to remove the Cyclone security system. Finally, to eliminate any of the guess work, we have included an installation DVD which shows you the ten-step installation process on a motorcycle. While the motorcycle shown in the DVD may not be exactly the same as yours, the overall process is remarkably similar regardless of the bike’s make or model.”

Most Common Questions and answers
Since the 866F is installed inside the seat of the bike, can you hear the siren well?
In our opinion, yes CYCLONE produces a very high frequency sound that penetrates the seat and can easily be heard from several yards/meters away. The siren blast is not as loud as an average car alarm (making CYCLONE significantly less irritating to your neighbors), but loud enough to alert others to a theft attempt. And to further reduce noise pollution, the 866F has a "soft chirp" feature which drops the volume of confirmation chirps several dB from the full siren blast
But what if I am dissatisfied with the siren volume and want something louder?
We offer an optional, waterproof battery backup siren that mounts outside the seat and is about as loud as a normal car alarm siren. The siren tone is the same as the 866F built-in siren
Is it possible to have CYCLONE honk the horn on my bike when the siren goes off?
Technically yes, but the 866F was not designed specifically for that task. If you add an optional relay to the 866F Pager Output wire, you can activate the horn while the main 866F siren goes off. (The pager output will still function if you do this.) The disadvantage to this is that the horn would continuously sound for the full 10/30 secondThe reason is because the 866F Pager Output supplies a "continuous" (-) ground output, not pulsed. If you decide to connect a relay to power your horn, we recommend setting the siren output duration to 10 second(When connecting a relay, keep in mind that CYCLONE's pager output is positive +12v.)
Where can I buy CYCLONE products?
Cyclone products are available for purchase on our website, you can purchase online using your credit card, or make a transfer from your bank account using Paypal. Paypal is 100% secure offering buyer protection. Clearwaterbikershop.com also distributes to dealers through out the United StateYou can search on this website for a dealer near you
Why does Cyclone cost more than a US$XX.00 Chinese-made alarm?
Because you get what you pay for.
Cyclone is not made in China, and for good reason: most companies move manufacturing to China to lower their cost, not to improve their product quality or obtain advanced technology. Cyclone is a true Japanese product, designed and supported by our company based in central Japan -- the hub of Japan's aftermarket vehicle security industry. Our Japanese staff is onsite at the factory to enforce our zero defect policy. With most every competing motorcycle alarm not only made in China but also designed in China, Cyclone stands alone in terms of premium quality, features and technology. Cyclone was designed in Japan originally for the Japanese market. Seeing the sales viability of Cyclone outside Japan, the Cyclone system is now distributed worldwide. We encourage buyers to be diligent in comparing what you get for a given price when examining security systemWe receive numerous inquiries each and every day from customers wondering why our products "appear" to cost more than competing systemBut that cost difference is only superficial. We respond to each and every email, explaining the differences in detail. The fact is that the technology used in Cyclone is the most advanced on the market, and new technology costs more than off-the-shelf components that have been on the market for decadeEnsuring zero defects at the factory also adds to the cost of the product. Clearwaterbikershop.com does not make excessive profit from Cyclone. Rather, we establish pricing in accordance with quality and technology.
We have posted extensive details about Cyclone in these web pages which show a distinct difference in almost every area of the system relative to our competitorThere is truly no other competing system available on the global market which packs as many features and sensors in such a small yet rugged enclosure, at any price. Nevertheless, we have set pricing that we ourselves would be willing to pay, should we be on the lookout for a solid alarm system as an end buyer. We trust you will see the real value that Cyclone has to offer. You do indeed get what you pay for. If you have doubts, please simply send us an email or call uWe would be happy to discuss Cyclone with you
What type of wire harness does the 866F come with?
For all CYCLONE 866F systems sold, a "Universal Installation Harness" is included in the box. The Universal Harness can be used on any bike, regardless of make or year. However, it does require the installer to have knowledge of where to connect the wireIt also requires the installer to strip, solder and tape connectionFor this reason, we are currently working on the development of plug and play (bike-specific) harnesses, which will hopefully be available in the near future. The plug and play harnesses will significantly reduce the time it takes to install an 866F system
Can I obtain a copy of the Universal Wiring Harness manual from you?
We strongly recommend professional installation by a certified installation shop, motorcycle shop, or Cyclone dealer. CYCLONE is not impossible to install yourself, but problems can occur when someone inexperienced attempts installation for the first time. Clearwaterbikershop.com cannot be held liable for problems that arise from end user installation. With that said, we do provide our Universal Harness Guide to individuals on a case-by-case basiPlease email us for details
Where is a good mounting location for the LED so it won't get wet?
Our LED is waterproof so it can be mounted pretty much anywhere. And because it affixes to the bike with included double-sided tape, there are no holes to drill. The only portion of the LED not waterproof is the connector which attaches to the CYCLONE alarm body inside the seat
What is a "Rolling-Code" transmitter?
CYCLONE systems include an RF remote that cannot be hacked or copied by thieveEach time you press a button on the remote, a different digital code is sent to the 866F's receiver on the bike (the code "rolls" or "changes" each time). Because each digital code transmission is unique, the threat of capture and re-send schemes ("code grabbers") is eliminated. And CYCLONE's long 66-bit code eliminates the threat of "code scanning" -- the scheme where thieves randomly transmit codes in hopes of accidentally finding the right one to disarm the system
What if a thief or even my dealer tries to learn a "secret transmitter" that can disarm my CYCLONE system?
CYCLONE eliminates this worry by erasing all previously learned codes each time a new transmitter is learned. (So if you have one already-learned remote and you want to learn a new remote, you must learn both to the system.) The only two ways to learn transmitters is to either use an existing transmitter or use your Manual Disarm Code. If you wish to be 100% certain no spare transmitters we learned to your CYCLONE system at the time of installation, simply relearn your transmitter(s) and change your Manual Disarm Code
CYCLONE seems like a good security system, but can't a thief just put my bike in a truck and take off?
Assuming the thief had the time, equipment, opportunity (bike not chained, not in garage, etc.), and cover (usually "darkness"), it is possible that such a theft attempt could be made. This is why we offer an optional CYCLONE s
What is one area that CYCLONE is better or more technologically advanced than other systems?
Our sensorCYCLONE's 2-stage shock sensor is not an off-the-shelf part. We designed it to exceed the performance of competing sensors in terms of maximizing sensitivity while eliminating false alarmAnd our digital tilt sensor is one-of-a-kind. None of our competitors, either aftermarket or factory OEM, are using our thermovarient-accelerometer tilt detection technology. In fact, many competing motorcycle alarms are still using 35-year-old "mercury switches" which are totally ineffective when the bike is parked on an incline. Even though CYCLONE was designed to be a cost effective system that any vehicle-owner can afford, we did not cut corners with the technology used in our productIn an era where "aftermarket security innovation" has all but evaporated, Clearwaterbikershop.com stands firm on using only the best technology available in the market, resulting in fewer product problems and significantly greater vehicle security
Won't CYCLONE drain my battery?
In most cases, no. It depends on how often you start your engine. CYCLONE was designed as an ultra low-power motorcycle system from the start; drawing only 4mA when armed, 3mA when disarmed, and 1mA or less while in Sleep Mode. This means that if you ride your bike at least once every two weeks, you shouldn't have any problem leaving CYCLONE armed (with a good 12v bike battery). If you ride your bike less frequently than this, we recommend you activate Sleep Mode. And if you hardly every ride your bike (less than once every 3 months), we recommend starting your engine every couple months to keep the battery fresh
Does CYCLONE have a Valet Mode?
YeSleep Mode acts as a Valet Mode
What certifications does Cyclone have?
Our 303.875MHz model is FCC certified for the United States
Do you have a field disturbance radar sensor option for Cyclone?
Not for the Cyclone model. ("Field" sensors are also commonly called proximity, radar, perimeter, or microwave sensors.) Field sensors for bikes are more of a marketing ploy than a practical option for motorcycle. Field sensors draw 15-20mA of battery current constantly. That current consumption alone is extremely high, but when coupled with a security system it's simply ridiculous on a motorcycle. Please also keep in mind that field sensors are not precision devicePutting a radar sensor in a car is one thing, but using it on an "open-air" bike is another. Radar sensors can false trigger the siren more than you may like, drawing yet even more unnecessary current from your bike's battery. The CYCLONE advantage is that all the sensors you need are already built-in, meaning no extra costs to you, and no extra current draw on your battery. If you have been seriously thinking about purchasing a field sensor to discourage people from sitting on your bike, you can simply adjust Cyclone's shock sensitivity higher to trigger a warning chirp response that will likely scare them away. Clearwaterbikershop.com offers other alarm systems with the additional motion sensor simply because many customers wish to have such a device. However, it is not our recommendation, nor would we ever think of adding it to the Cyclone system. The Cyclone system is designed as a full-proof, flawless, and 100% practical security system
Do you sell a 2-way pager for the Cyclone?
Not for the Cyclone model, again the Cyclone system is designed as a full-proof, flawless, and 100% practical security system. A 1-way pager option is currently available for Cyclone. The main reason we do not have a 2-way Cyclone system for bikes at this time is "battery drain." Most of our competitors who offer 2-way systems for motorcycles are not forthright about how much power their systems consume, and for good reason -- they drain the bike's battery fast if you don't ride it every single day! In contrast, the Cyclone 1-way pager transmitter unit draws no power at all until your bike is being stolen (when the full siren goes off). If in the future technology becomes available for us to engineer an ultra low power 2-way system that won't put excessive stress on the bike's battery, Clearwaterbikershop.com will certainly offer such for sale on the Cyclone system. For now though, the Cyclone 1-way
