KIT COMPOSITION The kit includes A control unit with its protective metal shield Two remote control transmitters with Biker Recognition function A set of fitting accessories and a wiring harness A user manual (This is not a DIY product.
It is powered by a Lithium CR 2032 3V-battery. When the battery is close to flat, the user is warned by an additional flash of the turn indicators upon disarming. Replace it as soon as possible and dispose of it at the appropriate collection points.
Turn ignition on and wait 20 seconds. The dashboard LED illuminates and remains on about 3 seconds. Before the dashboard LED extinguishes, turn ignition off and then on again. A short and sharp sound signal confirms that the system is ready for pairing. The LED switches off. You have 6 seconds to complete the operation as described below. Press push-button n. 1 of a transmitter (or press both transmitters in turn, if you want to pair two).
3. BIKER RECOGNITION FUNCTION Besides its operation as a conventional remote control key, the transmitter can be used in Biker Recognition mode.This function is selectable. When the Biker Recognition function is enabled, the transmitter sends a coded signal at regular intervals (1.5 secs). The small LED on the transmitter flashes at the same rate.
If you expect to leave this function unused for a long time, you are strongly recommended to at least deactivate it from the transmitter, because this reduces the battery drain considerably and prolongs the life of the battery. (*): to avoid accidental arming (which may occur if the two buttons are not pressed exactly at the same time), carry out this operation at a distance from the motorcycle, beyond the range of the receiver. 4. ARMING / DISARMING OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM 4.1.
4.2. Arming / disarming of the full security system without Biker Recognition function (use as a conventional transmitter) To activate the full system (6829 = immobiliser + alarm, 6809 = alarm), press push-button n. 1 of the transmitter once. This can be done also if the immobiliser has already armed passively (Spyball 6829). Arming is confirmed by: Three short flashes of the turn indicators. Three sharp sound signals (if this function is enabled – see paragraph 14) (*) The dashboard LED lights up.
(*) Three additional sound signals in quick succession indicate that there is an irregularity in peripheral protection (e.g. the seat is open, the side stand is up), which will be disabled during that arming period. (**) A short additional flash indicates that the battery is low and needs replacement. 4.2.
If the Biker Recognition function is activated, the disarming of the alarm section is also automatic as the biker returns to the protected vehicle and the transmitter signal reaches the operating range of the receiver. For security reasons the immobiliser remains on and can be deactivated only following the procedure described at paragraph 4.1. (Spyball 6829).
Movement detection. Triggers the alarm in the event of for example lifting, towing, forcing the steering lock by means of a revolutionary sensor (Spyball® patent) that detects changes in the motorcycle’s position over 360 degrees. Ignition lock tamper protection. Triggers the alarm if the ignition is turned on while the system is armed. Anti-sabotage protection (see also paragraph 11).
7. ADJUSTMENT OF MOVEMENT DETECTION SENSITIVITY (this is a dealer operation) The movement detector can be adjusted to 8 different levels of sensitivity to displacement and 8 different levels of sensitivity to shock. The detector is fine-tuned for optimal performance by the dealer upon installation. Please consult your dealer if you require a different setting. 8. ALARM CYCLE Any irregularity that is detected by: the peripheral protection circuit (e.g.
8.1. Reduction of audible alarm power The volume level of the alarm can be reduced when the motorcycle is parked in areas where noise pollution needs to be minimised. When arming, keep push-button n. 1 of the transmitter pressed for about 7 seconds. Upon arming, keep push-button n. 1 pressed for about 7 seconds. The reduction of the sound power is confirmed by two deep short audible signals. This setting is valid for one arming period only. 8.2.

Remark: the same will happen if you leave the range of the transmitter ignition of your motorcycle is on. while the Important: To benefit from this functionality, remember to ALWAYS keep the transmitter on your person in a pocket or wallet. NEVER attach it to the ignition key of the motorcycle! This function is also selectable and can be enabled or disabled as chosen by the user.
will allow you to temporarily disable automatic arming / disarming and the anti-hijack function without entering the selection procedure (Service set-up). Disarm the system via the emergency disarming PIN code (see paragraph16). The system sets itself to service mode: The Biker Recognition signal is over-ridden, the alarm will not activate automatically; The immobiliser remains active (Spyball 6829). The Biker Recognition operation mode will be reinstated the first time push-button n. 1 is pressed again.
- Anti-hijack function (see paragraph 10) Polarity of instantaneous alarm trigger input (this selection should be set up by the installer and must not be altered by the user once the security system has been fitted). Procedure: While the security system is disarmed, turn ignition on, press and hold down push-button n. 1 of the transmitter about 7 seconds, until the LED lights up, then release. The LED remains on about 3 seconds. During this lapse of time, press push-button n. 1 again.

15. AUTOMATIC TIMED SWITCH-OFF FUNCTION (SLEEP FUNCTION) Although the current consumption rate of Spyball security systems is extremely low, another special feature has been implemented with the purpose of protecting the battery of your motorcycle: the radio receiver that is integrated within the unit switches off automatically after the motorcycle has been unused for 7 days and the current consumption rate drops considerably.
If the full system is armed: 1. Turn ignition on. The alarm starts to sound. 2. Wait. The alarm stops. The LED switches off, then it starts to flash slowly. 3. Count the number of flashes. As soon as the number of flashes equals the first number of your PIN code, turn the ignition off (for example, if the first number of your code is 3, then wait for the LED to flash 3 times before turning the ignition OFF). The LED switches off. 4. Within three seconds, turn the ignition on again.
ONCE ALL THE DIGITS HAVE BEEN ENTERED CORRECTLY, THE SYSTEM DISARMS WITH A LONG BLEEP AND THEN SWITCHES TO SERVICE MODE (see paragraph 12). 16.1. Reading the PIN code If you have lost the PIN code but you have a working transmitter, you can recover the code with this simple procedure: While the system is disarmed, turn ignition on then press and hold down pushbutton n. 1 of the transmitter about 7 secs.
Count the flashes. As soon as you reach the number you have chosen as the first number of your PIN code, turn the ignition off. Turn the ignition on again and follow the same procedure to select the 3 remaining numbers. A short sharp audible signal will confirm that the procedure has been completed successfully. Read the code you have entered (see paragraph 16.1.) to make sure it is correct, then record it. Note 1): You can select digits between 1 and 18.
The alarm/immobiliser is disarmed, but the motorcycle will not start - The system is not triggered by moving/lifting the bike - Spyball dealer (in the meantime, if the system is armed, disarm it with the PIN code (see paragraph 16) Make sure the motorcycle is in neutral gear Make sure the kill switch is in the RUN position Make sure the main ignition fuse in the motorcycle is intact Make sure the motorcycle battery is charged Some models will only start with the side stand up or the clutch lever pulled
