Motorcycle Security

Motorcycles are the pride and joy of any owner. The attention grabbing machines are a testament to human ingenuity. The attention they receive may not be favorable sometimes. Their compact size and high value make them an easy target for thieves.

Here are some tips to help keep your baby safe.

• Lock it up – Fork locks are just the start of motorcycle security. Disc locks are a great addition, some of these are even equipped with alarms for added security. U-locks for motorcycles are also available. The same idea that is used on most bicycles, but with some beefed up components. Adding a chain and padlock and securing your bike to a solid object is another step you can take, but run the chain through the frame of the bike not the wheels.
• Cover it – Covering a bike doesn't guarantee a bike thief won't attempt to steal your bike, but it means your bike will gain less of the wrong attention. Avoid logos on the cover, this alerts potential thieves to what you are trying to protect.
• Subtlety is a good thing – Keeping your bike in a garage is the ultimate way to deter attraction. Keeping your bike in the front yard will just make it an even bigger target. Even with a cover on it, keeping it in your front yard is putting it in the thief's mind.
• Disable your bike – Adding a hidden ignition kill switch will prevent someone from tampering with your ignition and riding away. If your fuse box is easily reachable you can also remove the main ignition fuse, but a smart thief may have one with him.
