Which Alarmed disc lock? - SV650.org

Best to ask those who've experience really! What's the best one at a reasonable price (£30-£40) that isn't prone to false alarms etc. I've heard the Xenas are good?

None.

You will forget at some point, and you will trash disk, caliper, mudguard and/or lock.

Xena's are good. They're quite hard on batteries though. I'd get the best one you can afford and make sure it will fit your bike before buying.

If you try to ride away without first taking off the lock the alarm will activate (unless the battery is dead!).

That's what I would have thought, and I have a reminder cord from a crappy oxford one I have anyway which i'd use to stop me forgetting. I have to wheel the bike out of storage before I can ride away anyway so can't just ride off with it on.

That'll do lovely, is it any good and will it fit a pointy K5?

Is this a typo? Don't see why this XR1 is £20 cheaper than the other XR1 on the site?? Is it an old model or something? http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk...x?catRef=XXR1C

Apart from one being in the clearance section and the colour I've no idea, perhaps you're right and it's last years model, but hey I'd save the money and get the cheaper one myself.

+1 - I would never bother with a disk lock. If someone wanted to nick your bike, they wouldn't care about smashing a disc too much, and it would be more expense if recovered.

Yes but the bike is directly beneath me and i'd hear the alarm from the bedroom window. It's more for that than the lock. I've got a ground anchor and almax chain for the immobilizing bit
