Il existe un moyen d'épargner un peu d'argent au niveau de l'alarme.

As standard, the 790 Adventure is fitted with a Thatcham Category 2 immobiliser. There's been several posts on the Internet about fitting an alarm system but they all fail (in my opinion) to show just how easy this is. Normally, fitting a Thatcham approved Category 1 alarm is a job for professionals and your insurance company will want to see a certificate to demonstrate it has been properly installed. But KTM has already done this work for you in the standard wiring on every 790 Adventure. So fitting an alarm takes just 30 seconds.

The alarm KTM sells is the Meta DefComT Category 2 to 1 upgrade. You can buy this from KTM for £280 or you can buy the exact same item off the Internet for £82 including delivery, see https://www.southerncarsecurity.co.u...&product_id=88





Here's the contents of the kit. The alarm is the rectangular black box, the cables leading into it are what are normally wired into the bike. But don't panic. All you need from this pile of stuff is the rectangular alarm and the two blue remote controls next to the red key card. The rest can go in the bin.



Here's the contents of the fitting kit which is £42 from KTM. You don't have to buy this but it provides a secure mounting method. The piece of paper says fitting instructions are on the KTM web site. They are lying.



Here's the bike before the alarm was fitted. I'd isolated the likely looking white connectors in case I needed them. You can see the alarm electrical connector peering out from beneath the metal work. If you now connect that connector to the alarm box, you will have installed the alarm in less than 30 seconds. It's that simple. The remote controls will now work and you can get on the bike and start your round-the-world ride.

But the alarm box will rattle around so of course we all want to faff about and make things tidy.



First thing was to fit the two rectangular sensors under the seat so the alarm would sound if someone tried to intefere with it by removing the seat. The holes for the four screws are predrilled, all you do is tighten the screws. The sensor towards the top of the photo has a cable that plugs into one of the two white sockets I identified earlier.



Then you mount the alarm box onto the support bracket using the sticky pads provided and secure it in place with cable ties, connect up the wiring harness, and put in the three screws to hold the bracket in place.

And that's that.

You can program the alarm to automatically set after 50 seconds. And if you want to have both left and right indicators flashing to warn of a hazard (not normally possible with the 790), you just press the remote control twice, once more to switch off.
