Best Ways To Secure Your Motorcycle (From Theft) | On The Lift

Unfortunately the Magnavolt Anti-Theft system from Robocop 2 isn’t real (or legal in most places), but Patrick has some suggestions for your motorcycle that will make thieves think twice about their dastardly deeds. Have you tried any of these before? Maybe you have some other suggestions! Let us know down below.

The title of this made me think we were going to learn how to setup a motorcycle on a “lift” / motorcycle hoist. Which I was interested in!

I treat the bike the same way as a car. Have good theft insurance. Piece of mind. If anyone gets it I get a new one minus $500 deductible.

Someone who knows about your motorcycle, knows also that the front wheel is easy to remove with proper tools ... so the chain or the block-disk are only protecting the front wheel not the whole bike ... The best way to lock with a chain is by the frame of the bike

[lylemacdonald]

In the age of lithium battery powered grinders even the HD square profile chains are easily defeated. As for a disk lock, lifting the front end and placing the wheel on a small dolly and the bike is easily rolled away into the waiting generic white van. That being said, I use such a chain when my bike is on the trailer being transported along with a factory OEM motion alarm and a full cover. There is only so much one can do. I always thought a trained rattle snake with the bike might be a good idea as a deterrent!

Another idea if you don’t have an anchor point is to lock multiple bikes together with that krytonite chain. very difficult to steal attached motorcycles, whether they are ridden away or rolled into a vehicle. A small hidden tracking device like an AirTag doesn’t help with theft but can help with recovery.

Now that you guys have a shop in NYC, can you do a similar video geared more to urban environments?

[LTVoyager]

The best thing is to ride a bike like my BMW K1200LT that nobody wants to steal. 😂

[witchdoctor]

Personally I have the disc lock, more of a deterrent than protection. Also if anyone is using chains, try to not have them lying on the ground as that way it is possible to step on the bolt cutters and generate much greater force than just with hands. Ofc none of the methods will help if someone really wants your motorcycle.

wth.. I thought this was the best way to secure it on the lift! Not secure it

I learned today most people cant read.

iv had a friend get 2 bikes stolen. the 1st we got video of 3 dudes picking it up and putting it in a truck. the second 1 just up and disappeared.
I think gps is pretty cheap and small nowadays

[gamemeister]

I've heard Pragmasis is the way to go for anchors and chains. They're a UK company, but they do ship internationally.

[mooncake]

it's nice your team making these types of videos.

since i ride a E-Scooter for fun and just get this and that from store. i also bring 2 locks and one car horn/alarm. U lock and some foldable lock i got from apollo scooter. all and all, be careful and keep making more of these review videos!

looking forward to more leatt gear reviews. (all my safty gear is leatt. only the gloves it's a different brand.).

[JayTheDragonKing]

This was really bare bones I would do these things for a bicycle. Are chains and disc locks all the market has to offer?

[dadandkids]

... or, instead of a disc lock, you can buy a big-ass padlock which on my bike goes around and through the rear disc. $20 gets a good one. I have a neodymium magnet I stick to the ignition switch when it is in place - remove both before riding.

[Isha]

Thank you Patrick! Your bike is wonderful, congratulations! I love it!!!

[cristi]

The acting is awesome and very funny! :D Great job!
