New to me Bashan Storm

[Magician16]

I bought a 2018 Bashan Storm yesterday. It has obviously been down a couple of times, but it runs like a top. I have ordered a new chain for it, and I need to get a new brake lever. Other than that, it's got a couple of small abrasions on the plastic and right side grip. I know that some of the Bashan's came with remote start and an alarm. Does anybody know if the Storm had these, and if it does where are they? I didn't get a manual with it either, where could I get one?

I downloaded a 2014 Brozz manual from Peacesports, so that should take care of that.

yeah they have remote start, the module and speaker for the alarm is under the seat.

Here’s a pic of a Brozz Recon with alarm.

Thanks, guys.

I didn't get a key fob because this bike is a reclamation project. I'm thinking I'll just get a new alarm to replace the one that came with it.

is it of value to you to have it? I have been kicking around the idea of getting rid of it on mine, it draws the battery down in about a week and a half if it's not on a tender.

That was my first idea, just to eliminate it. Does it draw the battery down when it's not in use?

[duck9191]

yes, it's a receiver so it's always on. Not a fan of having extra crap in the ignition circuit that could go wrong.

The alarm is gone.

I drained the oil and replaced with synthetic. The previous owner had way too much oil in it, and it was nasty looking.

Good. You're better off. My Enforcer came with the same alarm and it did absolutely nothing vs. theft given that I could not ever figure out how to make it go off even when it was "armed." But what it did do was put a constant parasitic load on my battery which was enough to drain it flat in 3-4 days. Oh, and it also provides remote start functionality that has absolutely no safety interlocks, so you can sit on your remote in your pants pocket and cause it to crank the engine while the bike is on its side stand and in gear, so it hops forward and falls over.


If someone ditched it in the past they already did you a favor.

I took it out.
