Tango Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Better than nothing mate.....but 125's are relatively light.....so it wouldn't take long for a couple of guys to shove it into the back of a van..... I'd suggest a decent chain.....it's less likely to get lifted if it's chained to something..... Before anyone else says it......a determined thief will have the bike no matter what security you've got on it.....but decent chains and alarms are a deterrent for the casual thieves and joyriders...... Almax security chains are among the best.......not cheap, but the £200 they cost is probably less than the excess on your insurance......

Bonniebird Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 If you do get a disc lock - don't forget one of these...https://www.toolandfix.com/silverline-9 ... tAodhCgAtgYou fasten it between the lock and your handlebars to remind you it's there - too many people try and ride off with disc locks still on Mind you, a noisy on would be less easy to ignore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimmers Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Google elitesecurity they do loads of really decent motorbike security chains, locks etc. I've got one of their 16mm Protector chains, it's a beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimmers Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Should say that I don't carry the 16mm chain around with me, it's a lock for home. I've got a 14mm squire chain for at work. Xena do good disc locks from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerMooFromMars Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I would recommend:Keeping away from the cheaper push-lock disc locks like these, as I had one almost seize up on my disc!!:http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/spastic_potato/BikerMoos%20Piccies/DicLock1_zpse0bd4462.jpgThe screamer looks good (love the name too haha!)! I currently have one of these. It has an 11mm shackle - great lock but my god if you do buy one, get one with a longer shackle! Hubby's is the same length - only literally just fits over the disc and can be a bit of a faff, needs that bit more length. Cost about £25:http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/spastic_potato/BikerMoos%20Piccies/DicLock2_zps93276449.jpgAnd this is the big, bulky chain we lock our bikes together with (£35/40):http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k96/spastic_potato/shopping_zps32c9b9a2.jpgWe will defo get better/alarmed locks when we upgrade our bikes early next year though . Good luck with your disc lock shopping! Maybe get that alarmed disc lock and a big chain & chain it to something too if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateman Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Hello,Can anyone recomend a relatively decent / well priced disc lock? I'm paranoid someones gonna have off with my bike thinking this? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... 65752#tab1I actually bought one of these the other week for my Mito - seems pretty decent to me although as said above - if someone really wanted it they'd get enough guys to lift it in to a van - at least it would be making a noise while they're doing it though!

Glorian Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Decided to go with a bulky chain aswell as a shackle/padlock thingyDecided it would be more secure considering i can almost pick my bike up alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
