Motorcycle anti-theft device
First Claim
1. A theft-deterrent device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving at least one lock position signal from a remote operation device;
a processor for determining whether or not an ID included in the lock position matches a stored ID;
a primary lock mechanism for responding to the lock position signal when the IDs match to lock or unlock the vehicle;
an actuator for driving the primary lock mechanism, and a theft-detection unit detecting movement and for generating an alarm signal when the vehicle is moved when the receiver has not received an unlocking signal including an ID matching the stored ID;
wherein the receiver, processor, primary lock mechanism, actuator and theft-detection unit are comprised in a module within a single housing.

Abstract
Multiple components of a motorcycle theft-deterrent device are enclosed within a single weather-resistant module, to ensure that wiring thereof is protected from the elements. The theft-deterrent device permits secure starting of the engine with a remotely operated device. The theft-deterrent device includes a CPU 41, a remote control receiver 42 for detecting a locking/unlocking signal from a remote operation device, and a vibration sensor 43 as theft-deterrent equipment in a handlebar lock module 12, including a handlebar lock mechanism. As a result of this inclusion, wiring is protected. The protected wiring sends locking/unlocking signals, which have been received by the remote control receiver 42, to the CPU 41, as well as vibration sense signals from the vibration sensor 43 to the CPU 41, for protecting the vehicle body.
