I have an Xena disc lock and I like it. It's not an alarm one, but I don't foresee a need for that.

I slip a regular old Master lock through the brake rotor. You really have to remember to take that off before you ride away though. Truth of the matter is that the KLX is small enough that two guys could pick it up and put it in a pick up if they wanted. Lock it to something if you can.

Too easy to pick up and steal... so a plain lock *without* some sort of a noise-maker, is about useless.

If you're worried about it being taken, use a cable lock, and lock it to something stationary.

i will buy somthing like

schould be fine.

$62??? for a chain with a padlock? You could go to the hardware store and make your own for about $15.

Jan Kania 03-30-2012 09:34 PM

You right. piece of chain and any padlock. I should to do this my own. Sometimes i think if it is expensive that means is good, but probably if i do this its going to be same like this for $62.

i just purchased the lowest deductible insurance plan with $3,000 in aftermarket parts additional coverage...if somebody steals it, they steal it..hehehe....but, i would be sad....

The chain you get from the hardware store might not be hardened. Hardened is more resistant to cutting. But most security measures only slow down thieves, if they really want it they'll take it.

^^^ This is true, but what thief *really* wants to steal a $3k bike? If it's EASY to take, they might opt for it, but if they have to deal with cutting a cable to take it, it's not worth their time. I say "cable" because they are a LOT harder to cut than a chain is.
