Fitting a Roadlok disc lock to my Aprilia Tuono v4r APRC

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

You're right, this is to stop people pushing the bike away. Even without the lock, 2 burly blokes and a steel bar would do it. The more security the better. Cheers.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Thanks for your kind offer John, I bought one not long after the upload. :-)

[@baccas66]

Simple idea, extremely effective. Isn't it great when you receive a gift that you will use. My good lady bought me a pair of alpinestars polar gloves for the cold weather when it does arrive. Protection and toastie fingers. Lovely!

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@kaiser9100 No, I use a Panasonic SD90 HD camcorder on tripod for off bike shots, love the clarity of it and ease of use.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@thatmanfromyorkshire It was wrapped, I had no idea she was getting it and I REALLY needed some security for it. Hope you're enjoying your Beckham bubbles and slippers, lol

[@Sanisani9]

That looks super easy to lock pick!

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@DutchMidiMan I think you can get them on Ebay too, they were originally for pitot covers on aeroplanes but would be funny on my bike.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@MrPeterJMilner They also do them in black and red. There's a dealer in Mansfield, Notts who sell them,

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

It's something to do with traction control. It would also double up as an ABS sensor for when Aprilia decide to bring it out.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@62Banditcam It's the perfect (if expensive) solution. Cheers

[@thatmanfromyorkshire]

Was it wrapped russ, nice idea and its something to look at good idea that,be checking that out i will.Thanks for the vid

[@oli333]

literally just installed my RoadLok :) only complication was I had to use the next spacer up to what they indicated, to get the pin to align. Apart from that it went ok (and I'm mechanically hopeless). No more carrying around heavy disc locks to work every day!

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

There's a stockist in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. You can Google it. Cheers.

[@TheCodexNecro]

Yep, more security is always best. I just had a look to see if they made a Roadlok for the CB600F Hornet, but they don't. Oh well :) It's quite a nifty little gadget I must say. Definitely one i'll keep an eye on. Cheers :)

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@stefan23ish They Can't be removed with an Allen key. Once locked on, even undoing the Allen bolts keeps the lock locked onto the disc. This is why I wanted one.

[@KartingApexKing]

approx how long does the whole process take. As i live across the road from a council estate i think this would come in handy.

[@TheCodexNecro]

This lock might make it easier for thieves to steal the bike since it locks the front wheel dead in place, so it would make it easier to grab the front wheel and lift it without it rotating. Of course, I agree with your previous points about it REDUCING the risk. I personally don't take any chances. I take a front disc lock AND an Oxford hardcore XL chain for the back wheel to anchor it to anything cemented into the ground.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@MarkieBhoy17 Pop it in your pocket. This lock was developed mainly for bikes with no room to carry a lock. The pin and cover are the size of small packets of Polos.

[@clanmac66]

I bought a disc lock reminder £2 off ebay bright orange wire coil, acts as a visual deterrent as well.

[@kaiser9100]

Did you film this with the GoPro? The image quality is great.

[@YabusameUK]

This roadloc looks great. Are you guys going to stock them?

[@istadniy]

With alarmed disk locks there's also a chance to scare away someone "just trying to sit on it". Won't really bother thieves who are determined enough, but no kind of lock can do that.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Good point but not all bikes are lifted so the disc locks REDUCE the chance of it being stolen. Anything is better than the steering lock and it's not for insurance discounts that I do this. :-)

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

No, there's a shop in Mansfield, Notts called the Two wheel Centre who sell them.

[@spenspuma]

Alternatively if you have a normal disclock then just position it a close to the caliper as possible so if you do try to pull off the wheel barely moves, same principle as this lock but potentially a lot cheaper

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@MarkieBhoy17 There's always somewhere to put it, even under the seat in a worst case scenario, still beats having to carry a whole disc lock around doesn't it? :-)

[@MikeYZFR6ICT]

I've looked through your videos and I haven't noticed anything about bar end mirrors. I was wondering if you have any suggestions on a good choice for a set? Thanks in advance!

[@legomaniac150]

Also the old ones appeared to have thread locker on and he did not apply some of that when he was fitting.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

The carrier is very light, you'd be pleasantly surprised.

[@gonzotopia1]

When reinstalling the caliper bolts, do you have to torque them to a certain amount of Nms?

[@Racing_Fox]

gonzotopia1 Yes this will be specified in your manual

[@TeamTatoYT]

Hi Russ, sorry I know this is an old vid but how did this hold up? Heard a few stories saying they don't fair well in British weather and seize up easily?

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

No problem. Just make sure it's lubed

[@TeamTatoYT]

@@RoadcraftNottingham thanks for the swift response Russ, safe riding mate!

[@chimaera1855]

Does it secure the calibers as well?cause the country I live now the guys like to steal brembo calibers.tks for ur repky

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@samxtx1 Got one...1/Awkward to carry around 2/Will damage the bike if ridden off accidentally with it still fitted (and trust me, everyone does or will at some point)

[@thatmanfromyorkshire]

@RoadcraftNottingham lol I am, im always appreciative of what i get.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

It's a good point. The only reason I don't is in case I get chan lube and dirt on my gloves or fingers.

[@Jackrabbit4520]

I have to admit I don't use any additional security erasures for my bike other than the KISS system it has. I do however like this device and it does look like a quality product . I think we bikers would be shocked if it was public knowledge just how many bikes get nicked and especially howmany of them simply vanish never to be seen by the owners again. The more preventative measures you can use, the stronger the deterrent.

[@sheps999]

Is that slotted disc inside the brake disc something to do with ABS?

[@enriqueortin9104]

Estaría estupendo que subtitularas el vídeo a el Español. Gracias

[@ir0n2541]

Hi, i live in central London - do you know where i can buy this from ?

[@opmike343]

Slick!

[@jabbacraig]

i think i will have a look at this

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@cjhurrell Thank you. :-)

[@bootstrapbe4]

Would it not just slide off as its now only secure in one axis?

[@rajivjammulapati433]

is that a right sided one or a left sided one

[@benjaminchapuis4298]

Hey just bougth one for my Tuono 1100 2016, but once installed the pin doesn't go to the brake disc hole, it ripps on it...did you have this kind of issue?

[@johanhemblom446]

It works fine on my 1100 -16. Make sure you have the correct spacers.

[@melashkov]

what kind of material it made of? steal or aluminium?

[@AnFonE]

@MarkieBhoy17 Maintain it well, they will need a lot of car and a lot of servicing. I myself have an NSR125 - The thing is indestructible, just keeps going and going and going. I'll be sad to see it go when I sell it in the new year!

[@ScragNath]

How did you sort the correct torque with just an allen key?

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

I stood on it till it didn't move any more. That's right isn't it?

[@ScragNath]

@@RoadcraftNottingham A quick video demonstrating your technique would be good.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

He can but the lock is still locked to the disc

[@vwbeetleb0b]

very fancy !! i like :)

[@mrtommygunwhite]

the way you can get past the cracking the caliper/faling on your arse problem is put the lock as close to the caliper as you can

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Most of these measures are to DETER most theives. Not a lot will stop professionals. This is all about REDUCING the chance of your bike being stolen, a cheap padlock is better than a steering lock, a disc lock better than padlock, a ground anchor and chain better than disc lock,4lbs of TNTand an angry, hungry Rottweiler with a booby trap better than disc lock etc etc...

[@cooldogkills3987]

R thay sold in uk if so what websit

[@40baby401]

why do people put the disc lock on the front tire? why not put it on the back tire so moving the bike by lifting the front tire and pressing the cluch is'nt possible?

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@MarkieBhoy17 ...and that is...?

[@nicolazerhelmets2836]

What if I remove the caliper? Doesn't it just fall ????

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

No cos it's still locked onto the disc

[@Chrisuu]

They aren't available for my XJ600 :(

[@Chrisuu]

That'd be a pretty dangerous bike to ride when I've owned my full bike license for about a week. :P

[@cooldogkills3987]

Hi you sell tham in your shop i got a yamaha yzf 125 2014 new modle

[@bootstrapbe4]

I'm sure there must be a sensible answer but why cant a thief just remove this with a 8mm Alan key? no risk of damage to the bike etc.

[@TheSilmarallion]

It will then act as a disc lock... as the locking pin is still there.

[@Bakajin00]

Nice :)

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Allow about 30 minutes max to fit and 30 seconds to lock.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

Then it's still locked to the disc like a normal disc lock.

[@ScragNath]

KTM want £345, I bought direct from Roadlok for £175.

[@CodeNinj]

KTM still charging an arm and a leg for it to be in orange with their logo. Ironically, roadlok sells some of their locks in orange, but not the version that fits the ktm bikes. I guess KTM didn't want their name being etched into it to be the only thing you were paying an extra hundred dollars for. Besides black actually matches that part of bike better.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

You'll have to treat yourself to a Tuono then so you can get one! (you have my permission) :-)

[@luc1ferblack]

£200 ouch thats alot for what it is considering an abus 8077 is £120

[@ricktonge]

You didn't torque your caliper bolts with a torque wrench, tut tut. Also why do you shave your arms? ;-)

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

I'd ran out of Helium to inhale that day ;-)

[@jdabel1]

It looks a little ugly. I prefer my Xena audible alarm disk lock. I've forgotton it once and the alarm sounded as soon as I lifted the bike off the side stand.

[@arabianjules]

great bit of kit, will get one of these for mine, if you want a `remove before flight` flag Russ let me know, as i`m in the Aircraft industry ;)

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

@baccas66 Don't you love women that put thought into pressies? :-D

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

(see 1 above) :-)

[@Hornet0biker]

Dont forget the git with a can of plumbers' liquid nitrogen and a hammer would make short work of this or any other movement restriction device (including chains). Don't be complacent re professional thieves.

[@rubarbcrumble5359]

Ridiculous idea. A coiled reminder costs 3 quid.

[@Lautnervv]

effective but awful

[@Lightspeeders]

Nice lock but idiot pricing!!!

[@philipmillen4271]

So all you need then is a simple allen key to remove it from the caliper then steal the bike.

[@addicted2baseballrgd21]

philip millen No, because the pin is still locked in the disc.
