Motorcycle theft can happen in seconds, but taking the right precautions can make all the difference. We’ve gathered essential tips to help you lock your bike securely and avoid theft. From securing your ignition to using the right locks, these small steps can protect your ride.

• An alarm can be beneficial to alert you that something is wrong. In any case, even if you do not install an alarm consider putting ‘alarm stickers’ on your bike e.g. ‘Alarm Installed – Do Not Tamper’. These may help to deter the opportunist thief.
• The use of immobilisers can also be beneficial. You should also consider installing one or more kill switches in concealed locations.
• Remember, alarms and immobilisers should be regarded as enhancements to good physical security / locking systems.
