Steering lock
-
I wouldn't bother with that. Seen them snapped quite easily. I would use a ground anchor and chain when at home and a chain around the wheel when out. Always try and chain it to something when your out. Remember even your own garden isn't safe.
When I lived at my parents we had a large garden with a dog that always barked at strangers yet one night I found my motorbike was missing!! Ran up the garden at 3am in my pants to find her resting at the side of the road on the kick stand. Guessing they went to get a van. I was very lucky

Hey guys my steering lock doesn't work and was wondering what I should change or replace to get it to as my area has a lot of bike theifs
@vtrn_raptor I use an alarmed Xeno disc lock on my bike when out. I am also considering buying one of these too;
Has anyone tried them and would they recommend getting one? There very light and compact, so easily transportable, but are they a good form of security and a deterrent for the scumbags of this world???

@Zrako Maybe, I couldn't find a review showing if it was cracked open at all. There are also these two type's which look a bit more secure;

@CYBER-NINJA I would trust the datatool
they are leading brand in motorcycle security systems. Looks solid
The second one looks like its more reliable as the space for the lever is really tight, might not fit some kinds of lever also... If I forget for a second that I know the datatool brand I will probably go for the black one ... hard to choose

The fact that it already doesn't work should give you enough of an idea that they are a very poor preventative measure for thieves.
If you want something to STOP them, buy a very loud alarmed disk lock. Otherwise it will only take a couple of whacks of the handlebars to break it again. If by some chance they can't break it, they'll probably just try and lift it up and walk it away.
@Mightyman have you even felt how heavy the dts are jeez I done my back in and I've only had mine for 3 weeks

The steering lock that goes into the head stock tube can be purchased at yambits,not sure how good they are tho

If u don't have much money but need a chain then get yourself some boat anchor chain it's incredibly strong and cheaper than a shop bought MC chain

@declan yeah they're heavy if you compare them to pure mx / enduro bikes. I'm not a particularly strong guy but after playing around with a DR-Z 400 off-road, I am very happy on a DT / TDR weight wise. For thieves however, there is no weight limit. My Dad had one of his Triumph 900cc Thunderbirds stolen years back. On the CCTV they literally just picked up a wheel each and walked it into their van. They were big guys, but that's over 220kg worth of bike...

If you are gonna go down the lock & chain route, then this Almax is the only one worth buying;

Not the cheapest but the only one guaranteed to keep your loved one safe. I just love this vid too, just look how knackered out those two poor blokes are, trying to break that bad boy!!!
