    I can vouch for the Scorpio alarm. Bought one in 2006, they don't seem to have changed much apart from the fob. It's an excellent system. I would recommend buying the appropriate plugs for your bike so the installation is plug and play, no cutting your harness.

      *Brezhnev's* eyebrows, comrades.
      Here's a mod that'll save you money and make your EFI bike run on cheap pump swill, get better fuel economy, possibly perform better and definitely start easier. For all those new Harley fellas who have to pay a certified tech to try to remap your fuel injection or find a place just south of your swingarm to relocate your intake air temp sensor so your big, bad, loud pipes and cold air intake don't lean everything out so it runs like kaka- cut (yes, dammit! Cut the wire) coming from your air intake temperature sensor inside your bike's airbox or intake tract and install a 560 ohm 1/2 watt resistor (green, blue, brown) across the cut you just made. It doesn't care which way it goes.
      Now wire any kind of SPST (on/off) switch *across* that resistor.
      To your bike's EFI computer, high resistance at that sensor equals cold temps and wider injector pulse widths/richer mixture. Low resistance at the sensor equals hot temperatures/narrower injector pulses/leaner mixture.
      560 ohms is a good starting point and the first resistor value I tried and stuck with in my '01 Kaw 1500 Vulcan.
      It made the EFI think it was 40 degrees colder out than it actually was. It enabled me to use 87 octane fuel (cheaper and more volatile than high octane, so it made starting easier.) The throttle responded crisper and my fuel economy improved.
      Octane measures gasoline's *resistance* to ignition (to cut down spark knock/detonation).
      That way the manufacturer can make your engine run as lean as possible to comply with EPA regs. The downside is you have to use high octane fuel to avoid knocking and overheating. This mod cures that by sliding your fuel map colder and richer.
      The switch across the resistor (that you can hide almost anywhere) just shorts it out so it's back to stock configuration again.
      You're welcome.

I always ride with earplugs (KTM 500EXC Supermoto) and I can hear it at pretty much all speeds/RPMs, though I do have it maxed out. I'd say helmet choice matters somewhat, because the speaker location in my Bell MX-9 is way better than in my Fox Racing V1. The mic only really pics up the bike at wide open throttle. Setting up a group can feel randomly hit or miss at times, but once linked, it works really well.

    A few additional tips about the Sawyer mini If I may. When using the Mini or any water filter for that matter, take special care to not let it freeze in cold temps as it will split the membrane inside sending it to paper weight status. I keep mine in an inside pocket next to my body.
    Also while it is one of my favorite pieces of gear for hiking, riding, or the apocalypse, beware that it only filters bacteria but not viruses. On the east side of the United States where I live viruses tend to not be an issue. Well, unless some a-hole with corona empties his bladder upstream as I'm filling mine.
    BONUS- It is designed to fit just about any screwcap bottle or bladder. (Minus Platypus's proprietary crap-I mean cap) And if you don't want to carry the bulky plunger to backflush it, the tip also fits perfectly in a flip top smartwater bottle cap. So keeping an extra cap tucked away is a really good idea for a few reasons. Happy Trails!

      I used mine for filtering rain water in my cabin. I ended up buying a length of hose that I connected to the tap of a ten liter jug that I hang on a hook from the ceiling. Then I plug in the filter at the end and stick it into jugs for filtered water.
      I lived there using it regularly for two years. Sometimes when there was no rain for months I got water from random springs I passed. It made any water taste great.

      Make sure you compare the weight of those dual-material sprockets before buying - Even though aluminum is lighter than steel, being a two-piece design means they need to use more material and I have heard some of them can actually be *heavier* than just a well-designed steel sprocket.

      @@adrianbroughton9752 This is true. For example, the stock steel sprocket of a 2004 Kawasaki ZX-10R is lighter than its SuperSprox equivalent (both 39 teeth). One drawback of the aluminum "core" sprockets with the steel teeth "ring" is the sprocket is light where it matters least and is heavy where it matters most, so a static weight savings of even as much as 1 pound doesn't really mean much if that savings is towards the center. You wont even notice any performance difference from just that. Supersprox for me is more for looks, not for performance.

    I replaced the 50-tooth steel rear sprocket on my little Yamaha TW200 with a 40-tooth (probably should have only gone down to 42-43 toothed sprocket), in order to spread out the gears for street riding. Aluminum, drilled-out and titanium coated, made by Sprocket Specialists. The newer sprocket weighs virtually nothing in the hand. The older steel one was like a five-pound boat anchor.
    Before: Topped out at 65 MPH with lots of vibration.
    After: Tops out at 80 MPH, with NO vibration, along with an ungodly increase in fuel mileage. And still operates noticeably well in the lower gears.

    Heated seats can be made on a budget with a £15 reptile heat mat a switch and a bit of DIY electronic silks.

This will let the Tie go slightly back into the hole, and not leave a short jaggy piece popping up for you to cut your hands on.
