Steering lock
-
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.

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

@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
@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;

@Mightyman I consider my self quite strong but holy shit those dts are heavy lol

@declan Compared to...
I mean no they ain't no crosser, but they're lighter than the current series of bikes.
Something around 120Kg, where the Aprilia RS is about 110.
A YZ is around 90.
It's a good deal, but then again the WR125 is 137Kg so it's light when you compare it to what's out today
Always Originate, Never Pirate!
