Finding this is relatively easy. But the Owner's Manual is only in Japanese. Translating this wouldn't be so difficult today.
I checked the Honda Canada manual, but it's not mentioned there.
Cheers, I'll figure it out and then post up the procedure or whatever I find.
The motorcycle configurations vary by country market. I have not heard of factory installed alarms on North American NC models. If you are in Japan, check owner’s manuals for that market.
The OP was asking about a factory fitted alarm. HISS is an immobilizer system, not an alarm, from what I understand. HISS cannot be disabled.
Yes, you're right. I won't argue whether he meant the security system H.I.S.S - Honda Ignition Security System. I have no idea if this system makes any warning sounds that would mean it is also an alarm system. A search for the word "alarm" in the owner's manual yielded no results.
Lootzyan, really appreciate all your efforts, but my query is about the fitted factory accessory alarm, not the H.I.S.S. immobilizer. I'm picking the bike up on Thursday from the main Honda dealer. It's a '22 and new to me, but to be honest I'm wary of ALL bike alarms, and will probably get him to disable the bloody thing. This is Japan and the locals don't take kindly to a foreigner's bike alarm going off at 3:00am because a cat jumped on it!
It didn't occur to me that Honda might have a motorcycle-specific alarm system as an option. But this is Japan, so if such an option exists there, I won't be surprised.
For others that might inquire, and for future reference, are the alarm instructions included in the Honda owner’s manual?
No, they aren't because the alarm's a factory option. You get a separate set of instructions.
That is intersesting. In the USA NC market, there is no such thing as a factory option. Any accessories are installed after the motorcycle left the factory/Japan. The USA imports rarely even get a color choice on most Honda powersports models.
It was easy, wasn't it?...especially with the right instructions.
