Carfull with that. If the locking pin falls while riding you will have no control. I would get a disk lock and be done with it. Your alarm will lock out the ignition so there no real need to lock the forks with the stock lock (if the disk is locked)... Besides if they want your bike they are going to get it no matter what you do...

 

Okay I'm down with this option but my number two issue with my bike is if I use my security system it takes forever to disarm it! I felt like I was doing something wrong and again the dealer said that's normal.

 

To disarm is the quickest thing on the bike it much faster then the EFI engine symbol light to go off to start your bike. Here's aquestion why use the fork lock if your bike is in the garage?

 

Are you talking about the security system from the factory? If you are, mine only takes about a second to disarm...what am I missing here?

 

I wonder if he doesn't have the key fob and is using that arcane system of deactivating using the turn sugnals? Mine also deactivates in about a second with the fob...

I'm also wondering where he lives that makes it so he can't ride at night? I'd move if I had to trailer out of the neighborhood to meet up with my buds...

 

On my bike unless the forks are locked the ignition is unlocked.Thanks for responding.

 

hey, welcome to my world

 

Well I must feel like the new Gumby on the block,My security fob does easily arm but is difficult(takes 2-3 minutes) to disarm and my dealer can't do it any quicker, so maybe I'll try another dealer. If I tried leaving my home after dark to get 400 plus miles away by morning the threat of hitting a large or small animal is too great-safety for the wife and I is more important when only having the weekend to ride and the meet up with the people we love to ride with. Thanks again for responding and I'll officially consider this horse dead.

 

Locking to the left prevent theives from making right turns. Therefore, they can only go left and cannot turn right on red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Better this way to keep the thieves away.
