0:43 - Yes. It's true. Sorry ladies, Ryan is married.

[@3Savv]

+FortNine time to unsub i guess. ruined.

[@andrei600rr]

+3Savv :))

[@awenindoe]

You are waaaaaay too young man...Condolences.

[@meloveFIRE]

FortNine I was like dude Ryan you look like you're twelve and you're married winning at life!

[@ellaa.e.5706]

Awesome so does that mean she might consider showing up in a few videos and helping you to review more women's gear?

[@FilmHerald]

I've had the disk lock for a while now, but the fidelity of the keys is such that it's actually pretty finnicky to unlock. And if you don't unlock it within 5 seconds, it blasts you with the alarm. It was giving me anxiety every time I wanted to go for a ride. AND THEN, it started to arm itself even though the lock was open. So i'd throw it under my seat and it would start screaming as I drove down the road. I ended up just gutting the alarm and now I just use the lock itself. The lock is great, but I can't endorse the alarm. Hearing it again in this video triggered my PTSD.

[@luc1ferblack]

check out a abus detecto granite

[@haydenbriggs]

Triggered your PTSD? I hope that is an exaggeration.

[@Vcen7]

@@luc1ferblack Have the 8077. It has two flaws: 1) There's holes easily accessible where the noise comes out. Spray some glue in there, or just put your fingers over the holes, and it makes a lot less noise. 2) The time from starting to lock it, to fully armed is too damn short. I've heard my alarm many times now, all because I was locking/unlocking my bike. If you don't have a very easy to hook onto brake disc, or have the optional additional chain, then you're most likely going to hear your alarm go off right near your head, quite often when you try to lock your bike. :(

[@Toureebo]

When you put it under the seat it will arm itself if something, like a strap, rolls in its gap. Also, even disc locks need some maintenance... If the mirror part gets dirty from water stains, it needs to be cleaned, otherwise it arms. I find it very good, the last 4 years and I have witnessed it to save my bike and its accessories many times.

[@karthikreddyi8337]

[@ArmyOfThree1000]

I still come back to these old videos years later just because of the quality

[@HartPhotoAndVideo]

The Sena GP10 audio pack works flawlessly with the Sena 10 C EVO helmet camera, allowing two synced audio tracks for simultaneous forward and backward-looking shots. Remember to update all Sena products firmware often, they are pretty good at fixing coding bugs and making improvements. I enjoy your videos very much, thanks for all your hard work!

[@ordahnumbah2063]

it took me a while to notice how little subscribers you have. I just automatically assumed that there were a ton more because of the production quality. absolutely top notch! I'm sure people will start to flood in.

[@karsoul3484]

i thought of that too

[@davepotter9532]

Well, its half a million now. I guess production values make a difference. :-)

[@damnielm0]

700k as of Jan 2020. I’d love to know what they had 3 years ago in 2017.

[@veritas88n4]

They did! 980k now.

[@oddlyelliott]

Over a million now - well deserved

[@thegatesofsleep]

That disc lock alarm is awesome! Gives us guys that sadly have to park our bikes outside a little piece of mind while sleeping at night. Great video, thanks!

[@TheStanleyVillan]

Been watching your video's for a while now, I appreciate the straight forward approach and seemingly non biased opinions. Good stuff, Cheers.

[@rohanmahajan1864]

+FortNine Really appreciate the the quality of your videos, the mild backlight used works as a charm! Also the Aspect ratio changes back and forth from 16:9 to 4:3 on the explore vlogs add to the delightful viewer experience. Good Work Bud, keep rollin ;)

[@sskany184]

a mate got a very similar alarmed disc lock and i taught him a valuable lesson... any true friend will wait for you to put it on, let you stand up, then kick your tyre. wait for it to go off while being yelled at the kick it again, etc. Most fun kit he ever got

[@alu7200]

mannn......the best review guy in the whole world.....thank you so much for helping laypeople like me......awesssome channel.....

[@williamrobinson4265]

crazy that this 7 year old video on moto tech is already so outdated! such a good video too - still fun going back and watching

[@Ranveer_Singh_sangha03]

5:39 RIP headphones users

[@Toureebo]

I use the XENA alarm disc lock for 4 years now. Very satisfied. Quite sensitive, depending on its position on the disc. It deters pricks that tend to touch bikes and take things off them. Need to change that CR2 battery every 2 months.

[@Kudu300]

Half the stuff you review will cost the price of a small bike in my country BUT I still like watching your show, Good quality! Ill subscribe to that Cheers!

[@Dimerzz]

We need a Top Security Gear, Chains, Locks, Trackers, Disk locks lots of stuff out there to review!

[@FortNine]

It's in the works! ~RyanF9

[@Dimerzz]

+FortNine Glad to hear.

And have the Lockpickinglawyer giving is personal opinion.

[@fabriciogoulart4564]

I'm almost sure LPL reviwed tgis one

[@rickihall8697]

Your vid's are great, great quality edits, keep it up FortNine

[@ayan3261]

something about your videos, thats just so easy to watch, good editing and good video length i guess keep up the good work

[@johnbuitron9225]

Xena XX10 is exactly what I was looking for. Great video.

[@triplehusky9125]

RyanF9, love the reviews!! Please keep them coming. I find your channel extremely helpful and often even inspiring. Great stuff!

[@jorgearrizon9506]

Bro ! I love your videos... like you should of have at least a million subscribers! So informative and entertaining! Keep doing what you do !!

[@TeKaMOTO]

Judging by how little it took for the alarm to go off, I'd be worried that a slight gust of wind or a truck driving by could set it off too! :D

[@FortNine]

You're right! They often get set off at the wrong time. But the alarm turns off automatically if the movement doesn't continue, so it's no biggie. ~RyanF9

[@Aleph1010]

So just te be clear, a little gust of wind can set this off for 15 seconds ?

[@arunkumar24]

I faced the same dilemma, The street cats at my place tend to mess with your stuff all the time and 120db every night will get me angry neighbours who will trash my bike anyway.... A simple disc lock with a GPS device which gives me an alert if the bike is moved should be enough I guess..

[@mikeylikesit6588]

I’m hope that things have gotten better in the two years since this came out but since you have a cover that unlocks for changing the battery why wouldn’t there be an adjustment for sensitivity and the timer to unlock. Of course nowadays you could do that with an app. Seems somewhat archaic not to have such features

[@marcvanartevelde5586]

It does, I can attest to it. I now use a Kovix that can also be used with the alarm turned off.

[@GamerGetsFIT]

Excited to see all the changes with this new name change and everything! Keep being awesome yall :)

[@AwesomePigeonTV]

You are my new favorite moto based KZbinr! keep up the good work man, love the videos!

[@b3tth0l3]

"The battery should last about 12 months by the way, unless someone tries to steal your bike every night." I lol'd xDD

[@ghassanalfarra8935]

You seem like a really nice person, and so far I've enjoyed watching all your motorbike gear videos, very informative! subscribed :) wishing you luck, and keep up the good work.

[@Raez_XL]

I dont necessarily buy these things because i dont need them. But your videos are so chill i love it.

[@Fightre_Flighte]

I had this playing over my speakers, so.. Thanks for that. Ringing ears, oh boy.

[@peaceprayer595]

Best reviews ever in my opinion. Who does your editing?

[@connerlesh9146]

Your videos are amazing! Your editing is perfect and have great honest reviews. You should expect many subscribers in the near future!

[@garryr]

1. Thanks for the reviews. Very useful and informative. 2. Thanks for showing us around Quebec. I enjoyed that. Hope to see more. Having just moved to a 2013 tiger 800 from a 2007 tiger 1050 I hope to get out and explore eastern Ontario... Paved roads or not.

[@johnpark6138]

thanks - this saved me a lot of time with two pieces of gear i was looking into !

[@ahmadi4853]

I love the alarm. Thanks for the reviews. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@64t120r]

I've used one of those Xena locks. It's loud. And it actually works.

[@davidraym.4450]

Digging thru ole' F9 Videos, I found this gem. 1. I'd be curious as to what Ryan is using these days (at the time of my writing July 2020) for his Vlog comms. Seeing that GoPro is now on version 8, or something. And... B. It's pretty amazing how much Ryan's accent has changed/grown/advanced over the years.

[@NicChap]

Great honest reviews as usual. Keep them coming. Also really enjoy your Quebec area tours. Will embark on one this weekend!

[@FortNine]

+Nic Chapleau Nice! Whereabouts are you headed? ~RyanF9

[@NicChap]

Was going to do Parc de la Mauricie. There seems to be a wicked nice path through there. Friends decided last minute to hit Vermont instead. Well next time for sure.

[@FortNine]

Cool! I did the loop through Mauricie last year. It's absolutely stunning, but the rangers keep pretty close tabs on your speed so be careful! ~RyanF9

[@WWproper]

Such good videos. Really impressed with how professional this channel is. Definitely earned a subscriber.

[@fabriziocaputo6542]

Hi, correct me if i'm wrong but the anti-thief device seems quite useless, usually motorcycle theft load the motorcycle in a van and bring it to a garage to take it apart/look for devices like this one. Few steal motorcycles to have a night or two of "fun" to then abandon the bike. It will be best if the device could track the last position on a map on a smart phone or something. The lock looks good but i guess i could use it only without battery here in nyc :) Thanks for the vid.

[@MrMegacoffee]

I have ben watching sum of your videos and I am impressed. thank you for sharing this with us.

[@yobaafett]

Just bought the disc lock alarm, hopefully i never need it but it's a damn good bit of reassurance

[@Siper2]

Never saw that disc lock before, pretty sweet! And yes I had to turn my speakers down... my dogs were most displeased. :-D

[@donaldduck2044]

Ryan love your videos very informative very professional I've been riding for 56 years I've had a motorcycle endorsement or 48 I ride every day just a little background on myself here's a clue in for you when they steal your bike that lock you showed will do absolutely no good what they do is they pick up the front of the bike and put a skateboard under it then they pick up the back of the bike and put a skateboard under that and they zip tie them and then they roll it wherever they want it it's easy as pie I know this it happened to my son

[@krismargett]

Hi, Ryan. Excellent video, as standard. Keep it up; I really enjoy watching the reviews and the vlogs. I was wondering if you've done a review of the best 'budget' Hd Action Cameras? Not everyone can afford a few hundred dollars/pounds for a GoPro Hero5. It would be nice to see which ones out there are the best for price, mount, quality, battery and user friendliness, etc. Also, maybe a vlog on the best Bike accessories for keeping your bike in one piece (frame sliders, crash bars, handle protectors, etc. . Let me know what you think. Thanks, Ryan. All the best

[@justinmacadam3924]

Nice one, brilliant as ever, any chance of some Sat Nav comparison's?

[@iancarman]

Top video mate, that Sena audio device part really cleared up a question or two I had about that as I'm not familiar with those products

[@albiedam3312]

I love that your sub count right now is 234,567

[@lmiller4121]

I got the XENA lock and I think it is great. EXCEPT, you have to pull out the battery to transport it somewhere after unlocking.

[@Motovibeindia]

You do some great job. But, i wonder why you got less views and sub count. You deserve more. Keep it up :)

[@Robbiemoto]

I really like the idea of the Senna Gorpro Bluetooth unit but I have a hero black 5 and they don't fit 😞. I've had mic issues with the GoPro so this would solve that in an instant. Please pester Senna to make one for the 5. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@MrCskin1]

I had both of the newest generations of that disc lock. After awhile the alarm will just go off whenever it felt like. And the new double lock feature makes it a pain in the ass to unlock sometimes. Ended up gutting alarms on both.

[@sasinair9590]

gonna buy the sena disk lock for sure!!😍😍

[@krobarrides9028]

Great video, I love your stuff

[@jesusacovarrubias1390]

Hello young man. I absolutely love your product reviews. I was wondering if you can review gps navigation systems like Garmin 580, 300, TomTom, etc, etc? Thanks and keep up the great work. Jesse

[@matthewdaniels7462]

I cant squid with yammi noob, but i like your style ,content and delivery.

[@6Twisted]

I had to take the alarm out of my Xena14 because it was way too sensitive. Wind, loud noises, even shutting the door would set it off. The lock is also fiddly and sometimes it takes me a minute to be able to get it undone. And under my bike seat is now yellow as the yellow paint rubbed off.

[@nicholaspurvis5897]

F9 I love your Explore series and your top motorcycle gear list, keep up the great work. When is the next season for the Explore Series? Love the icon gear have the patrol set myself looking to get a Variant if i can get it at a good price. I have watched the Explore series episodes many many times, first and second episodes are rides I want to do myself might be doing the eastern townships next week. Nonetheless love your videos tell the team to keep up the great work and best of luck with the switch from CanadaMotorcycles to F9 cant wait to see what it becomes.

[@FortNine]

Wow thanks for the feedback! We're currently filming season 2 of FortNine Explore in Ontario, so it'll be out next riding season. In the meantime, we're planning to release loads of new product reviews, bike reviews and motovlogs this summer. ~RyanF9

[@Gitohandro]

Dam I'm actually starting to like this guy! Great tips!

[@weak_sauce_jerrylightbulb5723]

RyanF9!! where in Canada are you? (province) and I really like your videos!! keep it up my man. Great work

[@FortNine]

Raised in BC, living in Quebec! Check out our Explore series all over this province: fortnine.ca/explore/quebec-motorcycle-trips/ ~RyanF9

[@weak_sauce_jerrylightbulb5723]

That's cool! I live in Quebec... In Montreal city. :)

[@ciribyte]

Hi Ryan .... maybe not so futuristic (almost) but what about available wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems out there ... Thanks in advance and keep it up.

[@IBDaddyO]

I have that lock. To say it is loud is an understatement! Lol

[@radadara7107]

hello there. keep up the good work. I like your presentation. hope to see a lot more of videos.

[@addario]

I would go for an Abus 8077 Alarmed disk lock, stronger and not prone to constant false alarms. Also the Xena locks can easily be broken with a screw driver and hammer.

[@johnforensicman6179]

I'm watching this July 202 (middle of Covid-19, remember that?), and it's amazing how things have moved on. Even these products are old hat already. Typical great vid though

[@Picklemon710]

Can you do an updated video of this

[@SmokinZen]

I own the lock mentioned and even though it is built tough, the draw back it false alarms like crazy. I had to pull the battery out use it as a regular lock

[@oozorakyou]

own 2nd lock now, yes, sometime it will trigger out of blue, but still use it without battery so the theft will think twice to touch my bike even though that lock alarm is actually disabled lol.

[@TrkTklr4u]

Xena xx10 vs Oxford boss.., Thoughts on best for the money..!? Looks like the Xena takes up less carrying space and is a bit louder.

[@pixelshade4660]

I have the Sena Backpack but don't use it anymore because it filter out exhaust and engine sound too well. I wanna hear my V-Twin and my voice! Running a regular lapel mic will do the trick.

[@billhamilton2366]

I've had an alarmed disc lock for 15 years and it's fun to watch the nimrods when they are lurking around my bike and trying to move it or just screwing with grips or levers. The kids head for the hills. The idiots back away and try to look innocent and the girls scream, fall to the ground then jump around like their pants are full of ants, especially when a 6 foot 265 pound beast appears. "Don't touch the bike"!

[@Bitulescu]

I have the xena wheel blocker thingy, and 3 weeks after purchase I yanked the batteries out of it because it will give false alarms non stop, the neighbors where very happy is what I can say. It's a good bike blocker to have on you everywhere your would like to park, better than a chain but I use a bike alarm with a pager along with the xena and that never gives false alarms. I would like a gps alarm if I could find one here in Romania but for the moment a xena, a pager alarm, a bike cover and 2 chains should do.

[@NifBac]

Great videos! Sweet gadgets man

[@TobiasRieperGER]

I had the Xena disc lock here for test and it does a permanent alarm when locking it. So it was unusable for me. I take it back to store and they gave me another, i tested it in the shop with the same failure. So i bought the more expensive one from ABUS

[@robhicks6945]

Hey Ryan , How about a video on a fuse block install video. Like Eastern Beaver or Denali powerhub2

[@zdeneksustr2973]

I'm not happy with my Xena lock, either. I got the exact same one Ryan shows off. Mine goes off all the time, in the saddlebag, while I'm riding. I often pull to a red light or a fuel stop beeping at 120 db, looking like I stole the bike. The alarm part inside the lock gets easily displaced when not locked on the brake disc, rattles around and the light sensor arms it, which makes it go off on the next bump.

[@OffGridMadMan]

"Avoid parking in doors..... it will sleep thru the entire theft" - Hahahaaa!!! So a pointless piece of shit that is then unless you leave your bike outside all the time?!?? Keep up the great work Joffrey

[@richwestland3335]

Ryan F9, How about an update on rain gear. About three years ago you reviewed the Icon PDX2. Do you have any new recommendations?

[@Saschaantoniomontero]

Can you make a vid for best motorcycle dashcams? thnks

[@SuperMeesh20]

U give good reviews bro... Keep up e good work

[@philippelemaire4884]

Does the gopro case allow for constant charging? Also I just bought and love the "flash2pass" garage door opener you should check it out.

[@FortNine]

The waterproof case does not. Although the new GoPro 5 is waterproof all on its own, so that changes things. Cool - I'll check it out! ~RyanF9

[@cadeere74]

You are slightly creepy looking. But I have watch a few vids and I have to say I like you presentation style, editing style. Information is concise and fast paced. What is this customer service company for? Do you guys have a website and sell Thai stuff?

[@FortNine]

FortNine is the new brand for Canada's Motorcycle. The online store will be switched over soon, but until then, you can find our stuff at canadasmotorcycle.ca. No shipping to Thailand, unfortunately. ~RyanF9

[@sinsitisquid]

For the longest time I thought you were a teenager, the yiu mention your wife finding you and I see a ring. Like what lol

[@FortNine]

Haha, yap! We tease him about that here at the office ~NeilF9

[@sinsitisquid]

[@krobarrides9028]

Can you be an anymore obvious troll Ghetto?

[@ms542]

Put the lock on the rear tire's rotor, most moto thieves will just bring a front tire and with a battery powered torque wrench they can change it out in a few seconds. The back tire is a bit harder and requires they have a sprocket the same size, and there is more criteria to meet......it just makes things more difficult.

[@jakebaker301]

Ryan, how do you like the icon variant helmet? I saw your video on it and a few others but no real in depth use. Love the channel!

[@1up5down]

Ryan, would love to see a current update like this video! 👍

[@chrisbergaming3489]

Hey, Ryan Iam from India.....got an 250 cc bike KTM DUKE. which security system is suitable for my bike ??? waiting for your reply .....

[@MrMegacoffee]

the alarm . way kool

[@peterweller8583]

-30 C yup - 22 f too cold for me and the hydraulic cam chain tensioner that will not operate below say freezing. That is a scary sound by the way. Although my disks are slotted and drilled the pretty dress covers make it imposable to access. Plus who, in their right mind is going to steal my rolling porta potty.

[@thatseventiesman3865]

Hi Ryan, any experience with dash cams for motorcycles? Like Mio Mivue, Halocam?

[@T22DUNN]

I was thinking of getting the Oxford boss alarm lock but would this Xena be better?

[@prashannabalaji8532]

Nice watch!

[@eunverzagt]

Any chance you can do a dash cam comparison video? Please!!!

[@tantrieu2809]

Please make a video about top Adventure Pants

Could you do a best motorcycle protection gear to wear of 2016? Would be much appreciated!

[@FortNine]

I'll add it to the shooting list! ~RyanF9

[@Extile00]

FortNine Thank you so much!

[@g0fum]

Hi Ryan9. Regarding the sena bluetooth device. Is there a system I can get delivered to the UK similar to this to fit to my Gitup Git2?

[@RestInCash]

What's your best/favorite place on the helmet to mount a GoPro?

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Fantastic thanks

[@imbossin]

Does he resale all these items at the same price or discounted price??

[@basails45]

I've watched Lock Picking Lawyer pick two Xena disk brake locks and both of them are junk. He doesn't have a video of this particular model though so maybe this one is better. Nice video though!

[@npr1300A8]

Hi, great clear to understand video, but can you confirm that the Sena audio pack for the GoPro camera will work with the Scala Q1 units? Thank you.

[@FortNine]

Hey! The audio pack has Sena's new universal intercom software, meaning it *should* work with the Scala Q1 (I haven't personally used the two devices together). The only downside I foresee is that you'll only be able to record your own voice. As opposed to people who use the GP10 with a Sena comm, which lets them record the voices of other riders in their group as well. ~RyanF9

[@npr1300A8]

+FortNine Hi Ryan. Thank you very much for the information. All the best. Ride safe.

[@abritablondeabike]

I use GP10 and I love it. 🖒
