Security? - SV650.org

Hi

is there a lock/chain/d/u lock that can't be cut or sawn open?

Also has anyone used the grip lock?

Cheers

Chain, almax.
Lock, plenty of good quality ones that would be a pain in the rse to chop through.
D/U lock no idea.

Depends on how desireable the bike is, and how many other layers of security you have.

we use something similar to the grip lock on the TS50 and tbh it's not that substantial

So really the grip lock is just another layer to make it hard to steal nothing but a deterant

Yep, the whole target of security is to make your bike more of an effort to nick than the next one down the street.

If you have an alarmed garage then the target is to make your security last long enough to get a line of fire on the garage door. Similar target if it is parked in the house.

Definitely. I wouldn't rely on just one item of security.
As YC says it's just a casae of making your bike harder to nick than the one down the road, but if they really want your bike they will have it one way or another

The only total security is to be stood behind it with a 12 bore, and that isn't particularly practical.

Though my mate says his rottweiler sleeping in the garage is fairly secure.

either that or you can get hold of claymores... but they may damage the bike if set off...

I've got no chance, I can't even get a shotgun ticket!

as above, Almax chain with a squire closed shackle padlock. Can't be cropped and allegedly the immobiliser IV takes 2 angle grinder batteries to get through.
