Motorcycle Security Systems - What you have to know?
In this video I am going to talk about popular locks on the market and will give you 8 very useful tips how to protect your motorcycle.
We love our motorcycles, it doesn't matter how much they cost. Our worst nightmare is to find out that the bike is stolen. I don’t want even to think about it. Let see what we can do to prevent this happens.
The first barrier against thieves is your ignition key system. It doesn’t matter how difficult is to unlock it, how many million combinations the key has or what kind of profile it is, it will be broken in just few seconds. They will use a special tool, known as “breaker”. It is a hard peace of steel, imitate the shape of your key. They insert it in the ignition and with the help of small wrench rotate it to the right. First they will unlock the forks and then will start your motorcycle, so simple, no more than 10 seconds. If you have new bike, build after 2000, you might have immobilizer system. This system won’t let the engine start unless is made with the original key. That is nice, so now you can sleep well. Not really! First of all, if you have expensive bike like BMW 1000 RR or Ducati, you have to know that thieves have s special software to start your engine without the key. Second it is a bike, it is not a car. It could be easy push out of your garage or even loaded in a van. You have to think for some kind of hardware to protect your motorcycle.

[@JustMeTalking]

Park your bike in the worst area you can find. Leave it unlocked and keys in ignition. Then hide closeby with a crowbar and wait 10 minutes to eliminate all the scum moving in on your bike. Then go get dinner, leaving pile of wounded bodies next to your bike as deterant.

[@workslave]

Amen brother

[@romakayak]

Then wait to be attested by the police for multiple assaults!

[@limitless1692]

Hide a old smartphone with SIM in your bike and install a motion sensing app When the phone feels that the bike is moving it will automatically call you !

[@brikfiend]

Charging it ?

[@kevinulibarri5631]

Yes!

[@markjacobs6294]

I agree with 99% of your points. The other 1% is that 99% of thieves are not creative. They look for the easiest take and like you say are "lazy", that's why they are thieves. Anything to simply "slow them down" will make them look elsewhere in most cases. I'm lucky to now live in a rural area in the states with next to no crime. I always use the tent fly rope method and thought I was the only one...I've had Elk wake me by tripping over my tent ropes before. LOL.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Correct. I agree with you. Thank you for watching!

[@wrany72]

I don't think thieves are bringing wet towels either, but nice to know.

[@clakoclakson]

@Sami there's always one of these "wtf" comments on yt videos haha

[@BucketWheat]

"Lock Placement" can be pretty effective. As you say, all we can really do is "slow them down"...and hopefully that will create too much risk for them. So turning the disc lock inward is very good, and I also place it on the rear in a spot between my brake caliper and where it comes close to the swing-arm. On my personal bike, I have a similar situation in front between the caliper and front fork. I am also authorized to park in 'Handicap Parking' [artificial hip, fractured lumbar, and artificial knee] so I back in and place a heavy cable around the sign post and the rear of the bike. [frame, if I can get close enough] And both of my disc locks have alarms...and I have a GPS Tracker embedded on the bike in a spot that they would never see it. Admittedly, if I am just stopping for lunch, I only use the rear disc lock with alarm activated. I figure that will slow them down enough for me to get there and put a stop to it all. If I am leaving the bike 'alone' for a while, I add the other devices.

[@Krapkarma]

I had a motorbike stolen in 1994. It was parked inside my locked garage with my car. The bike was on steering lock and would have to be lifted over the car to get it out unless you moved the car first. This was exactly what they did and at 3:20AM I ran down to see a utility truck with my bike on the back heading into the night. The point is if someone wants something they will take it regardless of how you try to make it a less attractive option to them. Always be insured and park wisely.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Nothing is 100% secure.

[@joedo3529]

Good video! I use an ABUS Lock with an alarm system and a heavy Hartmann chain. I have an old motorbike, I am more afraid they will cut the bike so they can steal the lock and the chain. ;)

[@mcutchi]

Your tip about parking under security cameras is also something I use when I stop for a break, driving at night. Safer to stop near a bank, especially if on long trips in unfamiliar places.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, always helps.

[@DixieWhiskey]

My Heritage can only be started if you have the fob on you. Plus I can lock the ignition and the forks, they would have to physically lift it and carry it away in order to steal it.

[@tpv59]

PappeH PLEASE tell me, HOW do you, 'lock the ignition'? I know you can, 'lock the forks'. Do you mean, because you have the HD fob, therefore the ignition is locked? Is this what you mean by, 'locking the ignition'? Thank you 'PappeH'. Regards.

[@goonigoogoo5868]

i use a 20 level security chain and 2 disc locks, one has the alarm. i keep a good heavy cover over it that is wire secured and i keep it in a garage. ...oh yeah,,,,i have insurance.

[@PierreFerreira978]

lmao with the tent tip xD imagine you're sleeping peacefully and suddenly the whole tent is being dragged with you inside ^^ what a way to wake up

[@DobruchT]

You'll wake up long before the tent starts moving, hahaha - a tent's rope is extremely sensitive; you'd feel the slightest touch on it - I know it from experience :)))

[@brikfiend]

@@DobruchT tie it to your dk !

[@joskoevoet9569]

I'm thinking of buying two alarmed disc locks: one on each wheel, keyside in. If they muffle up one, the other will still sound i imagine. Anyone else had success with that?

[@shaniking17]

In my Country even if you park it in your bedroom the bad guys will come for it when they want bcos its an inside job. Someone close to you or someone in your neighborhood know all about you and your bike. As a mechanic who always lock every bike in my shop, the bad guys broke in and couldn't cut the heavy duty chain but they remove the tires leaving it in the chain and took the bikes without the tires. My solution now is pay security to watch over my shop at night. Oh by the way i also bought a shotgun, cant wait to avenge my lost motorcycles

[@motorcycleadventures]

As I said, nothing is 100% secure...

[@asif8672]

i had 100cc bike once around 2010 i parked it outside my flat in karachi i had this big heavy chain which was attached my front wheel the thief simply remove the wheel and took the bike. your message remind of mine hahah as pavlin says `Nothing is 100% Secure`

[@itamer]

That's depressing. In NZ it's so rare that the entire country goes on high alert when it happens. Going to be a step up in security when I'm touring.

[@flitsies]

That's all very good advice but one you forgot which will hold them up for at least five minutes is, let the air out of your front tire or both tyres for around 10 minutes and may just make them walk away flat tires. The best battery powered air pumps on the market take about five minutes per tire, if you have a good lock and an alarm that's a few minutes if your tires are flat that's a good few more minutes it all adds up. The one problem with leaving your bike in plain view is that you could end up getting a parking ticket especially in the UK. But always make sure you have a decent pump and if you are leaving your bike overnight, let the air out of your tires, they can't push it cos the bike won't move easy and with the alarm on it wouldn't be done quietly. I think letting the air out your tires/ front tire is the cheapest theft deterrent on the market as I have never seen a bike thief spend time pumping up tires, they usually move on it takes too long and it may be a puncture. Also have you ever seen those salvage guys struggle with a bike with flat tires, it's hard work and thieves are lazy. So I would say it's probably the most effective and cheapest anti theft method on the market, the price of a tire pump to pump up your tires when you go to ride your bike. No point doing this if you are only leaving the bike for a short time but if you are leaving it over night then this will help protect your bike.

[@coffeexmachina4376]

Another tip that may be a bit far fetched but is important is to not ''advertise'' your motorcycle especially in your neighborhood. Living in a big city means that if somebody spots your motorcycle somewhere 10km away from your home unless they follow you around, you should consider yourself safe. Most of the thefts are done by people that live very close to you and spot your motorcycle everyday and can learn about your habits. As for ''public expositon'' dont park your motorcycle in places with few people but neither park it infront of a night-club and have it photographed among with the lady at the entrance and posted in fb to advertise the club (sounds stupid but i have seen many people do so where i live...). Dont park or show-up with your bike in parts of your neighborhood where scum like the ones that get involved in thefts and such stuff gather. Dont post pictures on fb or make them only visible to a very small group of trustful people. Dont talk big about your motorcycle unless you intent to sell it. It seems stupid but you know what your bike can do and that should suffice.

[@BucketWheat]

Actually some good advice there... "Social Media" has become an effective tool for thieves! "Google Maps" show what people have in their backyards, and possible 'routes' to a house that would be out of sight of neighbors, and people post Vacation Pictures...telling everyone they are NOT at home for the next 10 days...and so on. And the people in front of a club -- including the 'Bouncer' -- don't give 2 cents about your bike...and will be more likely to LAUGH while it is being loaded into a trailer than to call Police...

[@tajln]

Ye thats why you gotta be friends with people who steal bikes so they dont steal yours

[@bigfly_214]

Coffee X Machina so you saying you gotta leave earth

[@bikesmith]

And the best tip: leave your bike in top gear. The time it takes to get it to neutral might make all the difference

[@motorcycleadventures]

It might help, but keep in mind that the thieves are bikers, so it's not going to slow down much.

[@Vara91391]

you guys seriously think they going to drive off? 2-3 dudes throw it in a Truck in 30 secs tops.

[@DirtyTaxman]

they will just pull the clutch or tie the clutch lever with something

[@beemerR1200C]

I have a BikeTrac tracker concealed deep within the bike. It is actively managed for £99 a year and if the bike is moved without the ignition key I get a text alert. The company work with the police and have a very good retrieval rate. I never leave the bike on my driveway for longer than absolutely necessary. I also lock and chain the bike , park it in my garage with my car outside parked up against the door....and still I worry for my S1000R Sport

[@motorcycleadventures]

You did everything right. Nothing is 100% sure, but we have to try at least.

[@lestelie4410]

Thank you for your excellent video of Tips. I learned a lot. I will start by locking my rear disc with the lock facing inwards.

great video ;) I have a 2005 DL1000 Cstrom dirty, sctratched, oily chain and some drips of oil under the engine. I don't even need to insure it. I can sleep or have a beer with my firends in peace. It may not be a flashy bike and attracts attention but It's always there, always starts, no parts missing and it brings me on the pavement and in any trails... basically everywhere I want.

[@hylandb71]

You need an almax chain guaranteed uncroppable by hand even against record 42" bolt cutters. Some have protection against hydrolic cropers too. They did a video showing how the most used chains are cropped and it was scary. Between 3 second of jaw to chain action to 20 they were all cropped or shattered under pressure but not almax chains. 5 minutes and barely a scratch on them. Im not a sponser or affiliate of almax but i highly recommend. Ive lost bikes, my sons bike pinched and nearly my daughters quad. Almax have set a new standard for chains. This should be the new lowest standard allowed by companies but that eont change. Youll still be sold "5 min attack proof" chain thats cut and tossed in less than 30 seconds amd thats why im putting this. Dont spend 100s on stuff that wont last 10 seconds a side.

Step 1: Get some Police crime scene tape, arrange it in a circle around your parked bike. Step 2: Carry a piece of chalk and draw the outline of a human body next to your bike. Add some small puddles of ketchup in the outline. Step 3: Place an empty pistol holster on the seat, and scatter some empty brass shells around on the ground.

[@workslave]

My bike was stolen out of the parking garage of my apartment building. 3 guys. 1 patrolling the garage while the others worked on the bike. took them all of 25 seconds to cut the lock with a battery grinder and maybe 20 seconds to break the steering lock. In and out within 6 minutes. Now I'm very hesitant to buy a new bike bcs they'll likely come and steal it again in 2 weeks.. Very interested in how I can make my bike more secure. Thx for the video

[@motorcycleadventures]

Unfortunately this things are happens. The best solution in your case is to install alarm system in the garage, not on the bike. I hope this will help to keep the thieves away from your bike. Thanks for watching!

[@PatrickFlinner]

Good tips. If you use a disc lock remember to put a rubber bad or a note on your dash. You do not want to drive off with it on :) Very good point on the cover as well, but remember to keep it plain black.. My friend bought a KTM 1290 Super duke, "the Beast" and he got a cover in bright orange with that name over it. Did it get stolen? Thieves love it when you tell them what's underneath. Best solution I have seen is a anchor in the concrete with a very shiny galvanized chain and lock running through the rear and the frame.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thank you again for watching and comment it, very good points!

[@djflegg]

Wire up a spare car battery to large metal surface on your bike, when a potential thief puts their hand on it they get a nice shock.

Great video! I learned a lot. I have a question: can the Abus Granit Victory XPlus 68 be attached to a drum brake at the rear? Or sprocket? If so, what's the best way? Newbie here :)

[@motorcycleadventures]

Drum brake no, but maybe on the sprocket. Check it first. In some sprockets and even brake disks the holes are to small.

[@lesleybartlett6831]

Thanks so much 🙇🏻‍♀️

Somehow, a guy with heavy Russian accent seems more plausible than standard US/UK vloggers when it's about motorcycle security.

[@DobruchT]

The accent is Bulgarian ;)

Thanks Mike!

Just found your page after buying a new bike (been away from them for over 20 years) and really appreciate the information. Thanks and have ordered one of the GRANIT VICTORY XPLUS 68 locks along with a few other systems I have already.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks, man!

[@hereb4theend]

Just remove the bike brand and replace it with a Chinese brand. 😉

If I was to think like a thief, I would end up building a fortress around the bike! lol!

[@kamilf9558]

Thumbs up 👍 Very good tips / Some I didn't know Thanks for sharing Peace

[@maccaroneluigi1612]

Dear Sir as all disk locking systems, also the granit 68 is not efficient. The thieves unscrew the bolts of the disk brake directly on the wheel hub and the wheel is free to rotate. Where all disk screws are not easily reacheble they unassembly also the brake caliper to move ahead the bike and have free access to all screws. Then they load the veichel on a van.

[@michaelreynolds9463]

Alarmed disc lock is the answer.

I traveled across India north south east west ,four times on Ninja 250cc,Honda 250cc and RE enfiled 500cc, they were almost new and very attractive as well each time I traveled. I cared less about my bike being stolen etc., but what I did was that I got in to hotels ,lodges etc., where there was safe parking. When there was no such space, the hotel managers took initiative and kept the bike after night 10 pm at a different place like near the hotel 's kitchen window etc., because any bike theft in nearby hotel will be taken very seriously by police in India. While on the go, I always parked the bike right in the front of the hotel and I always took my seat right behind window so that all the while I took my lunch ,dinner etc., I was watching my bike. And in hotels ,wayside motels when I stopped . I took care such a facility is there . Otherwise I just moved on. It was because to steal a bike from right in front of bar takes the thief only two minutes or at most three minutes !! you can watch youtube videos of bikes being stolen in India yourself . I am using only a break lever lock because if you are absent minded like me , your disc lock will break your bike disc for sure. I think fixing an alarm inside the engine ,under the seat and the loud speakers back and forth of the bike would be very good deterrent for thieves. I am going to fix this ( you need the services of professional electrician to fix these types) before my next journey.

[@michaelreynolds9463]

Get an alarmed disc lock,you wont forget to unlock that.As soon as you sit on the bike,it will go off.

[@muthurajmariyappan1431]

what you think about the anti theft alarm ? it's connected to the battery line and it has something different we can lock the Engine we can't start the vehicle even if we have the original key of the motorcycle. have you tried before? just give me good solution.. I have lost many things here two bicycle. now I bought motorcycle I should very careful about it .. so I would like to know which is best...

[@motorcycleadventures]

Hi, I already made a full video about it. Alarms are nice, but today people don't pay attention on it and they can easy drain your battery. Find a hardware solution.

[@muthurajmariyappan1431]

Motorcycle Adventures I would like to know actually where did you lock your bike is it locked in chain as you shown some pictures I couldn't see them well. and you have mentioned some attachment what is it ? I have seen many videos about the abus lock but they all mentioned lock in disc. but you mentioned some pictures it's totally different I like it but I couldn't see them well. could you tell me where actually lock it ?

[@motorcycleadventures]

Hi there, I think that this video will answer to your question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmSap3h7hdCJjck

The ratings manufacturers place on their products are worthless. Look for independent reviews.

Can the disk lock fit a Honda Goldwing, looking for a birthday gift, thanks?

[@tpv59]

Ask the 'motorcycle shop', they will know.

[@trninka]

The tent thing was the tip I have never heard of. Easy, no cost and effective. Thanks man. Also I have not find a video from you about motorcycle tires? Maybe soon :)

[@prodyotghosh4645]

I have no diskbreke what kind of protection I have to take.

[@islandboy9580]

wheres the link for lock? is it the abus granite victory

[@QuietStormX]

Why go Cheap on your Motorcycle for security. Use a combination of disc locks and a security system with ignition immobilize and cut-off you pay about $300 for a great one like Scorpio Motorcycle Systems...

It's very possible for two people to lift a 200kg motorcycle. I often have to lift or drag my drz400 out of the mud alone in the forests. It weights about 150-160 loaded up and I'm not particularly big and strong.

[@motorcycleadventures]

I can't agree with you and I will explain why: Did you lock your rear tire when you did it? Do it and try again. To lift one of the tires, or even both for a second, just to move it away a feet or two is one story, but to lift the hall bike(160kg) and move it 10 or 20m is different story and will be possible only for few people on the planet. You said that two people (200kg bike)will do it with no problem. How many people will have possibility to lift 100kg (very uncomfortably weight, not in the fitness) and walk with it? Yes, some may be, will drag it, push it, towed, but not really lift it. When you lock the rear wheel, they need to lift it completely (both tires in the air), made such a experiment and we will talk again. Thank you for watching and ride safe!

[@SUPERCOOLZZ]

No, but I was lifting the bike against gravity. Since you posted I tested it by locking the rear. Yes, I can still move the bike by myself by lifting the rear and letting it roll on the front. There are plenty of videos on youtube of 2 men lifting a bike into a van. It's not that hard to do.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Hi, as I already said, nothing is 100% secure. You have to confess that is much more difficult, the forks are not lock and your bike is light. Can you imagine to make it with GS 1200? With all the luggage on. Or with Honda Goldwin? It just make the task difficult, not impossible.

[@SUPERCOOLZZ]

So you go from being unable to agree with me to back-pedalling and saying that a 1200GS is heavier than my bike. I'm quite certain you used the words "almost impossible" or something similar in your video (apologies, no time to find exact wording). It's a lot more mature to acknowledge your mistake and move on rather than trying to defect.

[@motorcycleadventures]

My mistake? I really want to see how you lift your bike and move it 20 meters, post that video please. Not to lift it and make one step. Lift both tires, not only the rear. If you don't like the channel, you don't need to watch it, I just tried to help and I do have some experience with motorcycles.

[@bernardkelar6089]

Many years ago I used to loosen the rear brakes and remove a HT connector, to avoid bike theft. Today, alarms are useless and even with a bike securely locked, bike thieves will simply reverse a van and lift your pride and joy into the back. They even carry helmets incase anyone challenges them and they can just say that they are uplifting a broken down motorcycle. Theres little point in constantly worrying about the bike being safe, so why own one.

[@rbb69]

Bernard Kelar if that's the way you think then why own anything?

[@BucketWheat]

They often WEAR the helmets, to keep from being photograph ID'ed...

[@yoko_bby]

You can easily get a tool to break windows in a car emergency kit. By that logic Why own a car if someone can just break it and take it? It seems like a combination of chains disc brakes and GPS trackers seems to work
