I've got a Mongoose brand unit. Mines remote start with the pager option (which I don't have). Mines got a mercury switch if the bike is stood up straight from the side stand it goes off. If someone is able to bypass the alarm & get it started without the key in the ignition, the engine cuts out as soon as it's put into gear. If someone gets it started without the alarm disabled it will run for 20 seconds & then stop unless the key is inserted in the ignition.
I use the remote start every day. I can start the bike from my office. So by the time I get down to the carpark it's close to warm & don't need to hang around as long.
Not sure of the maximum distance the remote ctrl works, but I've used it at about 250m in line-of-site & it worked. I was at a restaurant in Melb & could see my bike from the table. A couple of guys were hangin around & when one got too close for me I just hit the ARM button which just makes the unit beep as it was already armed.
