Ozyron Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Any recommendations for a GPS tracker to be fitted to a new Honda Click motorcycle please? Was hoping to fit with isolation switch also, am in the Jomtien/Pattaya area but will travel if need be? Any suggestions greatly appreciated?

bbko Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I'd suggest buying one off Lazada then going to any motorbike shop that installs alarms and ask them the install price. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/real-time-gps-gsm-gprs-tracker-gps-locator-global-locator-anti-theft-alarm-st901-i4065210633-s15849777076.html?from_gmc=1&exlaz=d_1:mm_150050845_51350205_2010350205::12:20771742606!!!!!c!!15849777076!317244652&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2KitBhCIARIsAPPMEhJEYxoGr9arvaVv7_58eQB_J_JBAxQ1sJ7pWdE9afZL-8gN--QbTLwaAgw7EALw_wcB Side note, when my wife bought her new motorbike, it was about a week old when she went into a darkside 7-11 to buy a bottle of water, in that less than 3 minute absence, two wanna-be thieves tried to steal her motorbike, the steering column was lock and they kicked the front tire to try and break the locking pin. they didn't succeed. Driving home she noticed the steering was off and took it to the shop the next day, the shop checked it and said it's common for thieves to kick the locking pin and have a friend with another bike to help push the stolen bike away. We used a kryptonite lock for the next few months after that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used a kryptonite lock for the next few months after that. I fitted one of those to the shopping motorbike, works a treat. Good value, only extra cost is 50bt per month for the SIM card. Accurate to within a few feet. Surprised the wife when I saw she was in Tesco car park and phoned her to get some shopping for me. A bit tricky to fit getting an ignition feed, had to take off the front cowling but no big deal. Edited January 19 by Daffy D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Perhaps ask at that custom bike place right opposite Pattaya City Hospital. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Branche Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Also he aware that 1st Class insurance on New Motorbikes. Mine covers 80% the value of the Motorbike. Understand also that if GPS is always on, using Mobile Phone connection then it will drain the battery. Batteries seem to only last about 18 months before needing replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Treebeard Posted January 20 Popular Post Share Posted January 20 As an alternative, you could put a Samsung smart tag, or Apple air tag on the bike. No need to start messing about with wiring then. They do work best with the applicable make of phone. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike batteries are not very big, unlike a car, so if you don't use the bike for a few days the battery may be a bit low. Something to be aware of. Could get a small solar panel to hook the bike up to so you won't have to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If tracking a stolen bike, then yes. Also does not need wiring to the bikes battery, no sim card either. Anyway, just suggesting an alternative. Nothing wrong with a gps tracker either if that is your preference, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to stick a Smart Tag on a motorcycle. Can track the tag on my Samsung phone. I also tag my suitcases and condo keys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that response. That is why I asked for the price of the genuine article from you! I now have a benchmark figure to work from! I use Lazada a lot but normally only for things I know about and have had very few problems. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana7 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) I use Tracki for 2 years now. Extended battery lasts about 5 days, without a charge. So it can be hooked up to charge only when the MC is running, like into the lighting circuit. Of course, you'll need to run the MC about once every 5 days for about an hour, to keep it full charged, depending on the frequency of data updates. The battery can last longer, depending on the features activated. Buy from tracki.com Edited January 23 by Banana7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Some interesting points made. But keep in mind the operating distance of the tracker, and if the bike is stolen and hidden in a shed, having the tracker active only when the ignition is on ain't gonna be much use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have batteries and a recharging facility, so one can expect 5 or so days use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used a kryptonite lock for the next few months after that. When I see them doing that, I always thought they were dumb A$$s and either ran out of petrol or trying to conserve petrol. Now I'll have the thought they are steal scooters ... Crime is that bad in Patts. And people used to wonder why I locked my helmet to the scooter when simply going in 7-11. Not so much loss of helmet to buy again, but I'm a hard fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
