What I done when I bought my MT125 used the guy had 2 different keys. One was for the ignition the other was for the fuel and I didnt even have the seat key. I had to go to a Yamaha dealer to buy the lock assembly which was I believe ~£150 for the locks but its so nice having one key for all

[@Daysdayout]

I am SO glad you got Rafiki back. I was shocked when you told me. I'm always nervous leaving mine anywhere!

[@kingkong81icloud]

But a 2 stroke DTR engine in it or road bike equivalent , you don’t need to cut the ignition wires you can just pull the white box

[@Andrea-pe5pr]

What a terrible news, shame for the damage and the stress, but I'm glad you got your pride and joy back :)

[@RokyRode]

Me too. I'm glad I've got him back no matter the damage, but the stress now is trying to find a genuine replacement ignition switch / barrel. I'm sure we'll get there.

[@carguy792]

They obvs knew bike was there to come equipped with the right tools , portable grinders and cutters have made it easy for them this day and age. My advice is get something really noise that triggers when messed with ie an alarm or a self made security system of sort.

[@xZenoRides]

Wasn't expecting you to turn around and say you found him... So glad you got him back mate take care! 🙂

[@RokyRode]

Thanks 👍 Finding him was like a miracle. Was so unexpected.

[@James-kd8bb]

Gutted for u, mate. I'm glad u got it, back ❤ I sold my yzfr125 was so gutted 😢 I have now got a yamaha r1 🎉

[@RokyRode]

It was such a gutting thing to go through and then the emotion of getting him back. I'm still shocked I got him back. I like the R1 so much. Been looking at them for a while now, particularly the 5VY from 2004-2006. I like some of the newer ones too.

[@James-kd8bb]

@RokyRode so happy u got it back. I'm buzzing for u. R1 i have is 2000 model very fast bike. I still ride it like a 125. u should get one mate u wouldn't be disappointed

[@pauldavpauldav2629]

Best off fitting a gps tracker like i have,it notifys you by text soon as bike is started,£20 off amazon and about £70 subscription for the year

[@themario7462]

Really enjoyed watching Rafiki, you’re videos are great especially being an older beginner (37) myself, I hope to keep my 125 also when test is done, really happy for you getting you’re bike back, hopefully back to full health soon😊

[@RokyRode]

Thanks. I appreciate it. I was 38 when I started riding. Hopefully I can find a replacement ignition lock soon and get him back to full health 👍

[@fikus1080]

Sorry for your lost. I have almost exactly the same 125 like yours was.

[@RokyRode]

Well, I got lucky and was able to get my bike back. Most people are not so lucky.

[@Tiagonox]

I have one and would't sell either. Happy to see that you recovery the bike. I have mounted a alarm on mine but have to make that secret too 😉

[@titntin5178]

Ah mate... I'm so sorry! I hope to god its OK....

[@RokyRode]

He seems OK considering what happened. Just need to find a genuine replacement ignition lock now.

[@rossmurrayfam1568]

sorry to hear that buddy ❤

[@RokyRode]

It's OK. I got him back 👍

[@shorts7foryou]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@RokyRode]

I was lucky enough to get him back 👍

[@YaboyCurtis_]

Not a hefty chain if croppers can get through it, time to upgrade security.

[@RokyRode]

I'm definitely thinking more about security now. Never really bothered before because he's normally stored in my garage.

[@YaboyCurtis_]

@@RokyRode litelok or hiplok D locks are the best atm.

[@aderinolaadeloye8275]

I’m about to buy a 125 and this is giving me anxiety because I live in an apartment so even with an alarm and tracker, it would take me a few minutes to wake up and get to the underground parking if someone was trying to steal the bike 😔🤬.

[@RokyRode]

I genuinely think that the reason they abandoned mine after stealing him was because they couldn't get him started. with this in mind, I'm thinking immobilisers and hidden kill switches are a good addition along with physical security like chains, disc locks etc. There is also a lock you can get that keeps the front brake applied so that the bike cannot move.

[@benxr1058]

Is your 125 named rafiki? Rafiki wamemuiba ?? :( Pole sana

[@RokyRode]

My 125 is named Rafiki from the film 'Lion King'. I lent the bike to my friend and someone stole the bike. I was lucky, I got the bike back.
