Jako999 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Hi all getting a new bike on Thursday so looking at security I’ve got a nice big chain and anchor point, going to fit an alarm but need a disc lock for when it’s away from home so with out paying stupid money which is the best to go for?Thanks in advance Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I use an Oxford Alpha XA14 alarmed disc lock. Pretty robust with a rechargable alarm module that's loud enough. I got mine from Sportsbiekshop as it was the best deal around at the time. I recharge the module about every 3-4 months. Quote
dynax Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I have an Oxford screamer but it doesn't like the cold and makes stupid noises so it just gets used as a normal disc lock Quote
manxie49 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I use Abus detecto, not the cheapest but a good disc alarm, I don't seem to get plagued by false alarms with it either. https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/434867 Quote

Daytona79 Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 I have bought the Oxford Titan disc lock you can get them on ebay new and posted for about 15-20quid. I did initially for my mt125 yamaha buy cheaper locks but one broke after half a dozen times of using it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/OXFORD-Titan-Disc-Lock-Pouch-Yellow/dp/B001268YH2 Quote

If i have taken it off i usually put it inside to warm up before i put it back on, although to be fair it's the batteries that are usually affected by the cold Quote

Pathetic lol Quote
hawkeyefxr Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 I have a Xena15, it's a big chunky that will never be got off except with the key. As for the built in alarm, when i bump my bike in the garage accidentally and the alarm goes off i have to get out of the garage PDQ, it is kin noisy.They are about £70.00 but worth it. Quote
Guest Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Thieves will just unbolt the wheel, and lift the bike into a van. Quote
raesewell Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Before making a purchase take a look at the Lock Picking Lawyer on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm9K6rby98W8JigLoZOh6FQ/search?query=Disc+Lock Quote

Don't think I've seen one he couldn't pick. Quote
