How do you know im doing a number 2
Man, nothing aggravates me more than a thought that someone would steal my bike. It’s just so much more personal than a car
That’s exactly how I felt and I got footage of them doing so, very infuriating!!
@@Nobody-vr5nl never, ever call the cops.
Boosted LSS you obviously don’t have insurance?
@@zenyattastampon199 Oh, but I have insurance pal, I just prefer not to be interrogated for doing zero wrong, FK the pigs.
My brother's got stolen, he's still paying the instalments for it, what sucks is that the insurance had expired a week ago!
Another tip for tracking is to put a dummy tracker in the most obvious place like under the seat, so the thief will take it off thinking there are no more.
That's awesome advice and I'll use it for sure. Thanks.
Bro u are a genius ! ! !!

Clever. Using a little reverse psychology.
Where is the best place to hide one on my enduro without it melting?!
Step 1: watch LPL
Step 2: Realize that no lock can truly keep your bike safe
Step 3: Just bring your bike to your bedroom. Sleep with it, make love to it, eventually divorce with it
Step 4: Reconsider life choices
Seriously, I'm still pissed someone stole my grom
They probably just picked that thing up and walked off with it
LPL really messed up my trust of locks
I'ma be road tripping my bike across the united states, gonna go for the chain, disk lock, and tracker. I ain't risking it getting taken
@@AshWinder729 Yup. But you have to remember that people who are genuinely skilled at lockpicking (dedicated to the art, way beyond the skills of an average locksmiths) are few and far between. Just get a sturdy rotating disk lock that cannot be just raked open with a hairpin or picking gun and you are golden because more often than not burglars break-in with force rather than stealthily pick locks.
Who TF steals a grom?
no one's messing with my bike right now because Im watching this video on it. You're not a real rider if your bike isn't part of your living room furniture.
Have it right next to my bed just to be sure. Its my baby
I keep mine inside because I don't have a garage
make love to it

As a Professional bike thief, I think the video is pretty informative.
For you or for us😂
You literally crush people’s dreams! I’ve wanted a motorcycle since I was 9. I waited 22 years to purchase this baby. GSXR 750. If they steal my bike I wouldn’t call police I’m 6’ 210 I’m handling my damn self.

For those of you who think "oh I park my bike in my secure garage" try to minimize the amount of time your garage is open. Someone SAW my dirtbike in my garage one day and decided they wanted it. Came back in the middle of the night, broke their way through a deadbolt by destroying the frame and bucking of the side door to my garage and ran off with JUST the dirtbike (street bike and tools left untouched). I still have nightmares of walking out into my garage and finding everything missing, and that was 5 years ago....
I feel you
That sucks man
They deserve execution.
My take away from this is that if your friend calls for backup to get his back you drop everything and go help.
Thats it buddy

Dad bikes can be seriously underrated power monsters,like an old Yamaha xjr1300,insane amounts of torque and speed
For me a 32 year old 1100 Katana. If they want to steal a 600 lb. bike with 115,000 km on it good luck to them, and it's insured. Lots of great older used bikes like mine out there, but probably not so attractive to thieves.

@JAKE GUS wut
Yeah don't nobody want my Vulcan 750. A bike with a blue book value of $1800 isn't worth the risk of prison
6 months ago my dogs woke me up because they heard a noise from the garage 11:30 at night. I opened the door to the garage from my kitchen held both my dogs by the collar and told them "sshhh" ( two fully grown well trained German Shepherds ) waited for the guy to open the garage door fully. As soon as he looked across and the lights came on I asked him if he thought he could out run my two dogs that were at this point snarling and barking at him. Dude looked like he shit a brick said sorry and backed away slowly. Got his plates and reported to police as he drove away.
Too nice should have let dogs at him. Thief’s like that have no place in society. As a reformed criminal they don’t learn the easy way.
Yes but I live in California so if I had let my dogs after him outside of my property or even on my property he probably would have sued me and my dogs would have to be put down.
Good call, wouldn't want those puppers put down.
Patrick Palma I live in SoCal. I’m not aware of self defense laws.
That is so unfair and stupid.. sorry you couldn't
I chain my bike to my truck wheel, I ride my bike more than I use my truck. My only fear is that I try to drive my tuck without unchaining the bike lol
That would be hilarious.
i would prefer a ground anchor or something bolted to the ground instead, nothing like having your bike and car wheel stolen, no transport at all then
🤣🤣🤣
lmao =))
Idk about the rest of you but where I live in CA the kinda person who steals a bike is definitely the kinda person who would ride a stretched GSXR lol
They look so stupid lol
Same type of person that buys a $1,200 hunk of junk Honda Accord then drops $10,000 to bling it out and lower the chassis on top of the tires. The tires are also angled. And it sounds like shit.
Pro tip. Park it out of sight and make sure it’s locked up more than the next bike. Thieves are opportunistic
Motero Argentino I agree. I’d say out of sight from the street, but not hidden away from trusted people in the area
Park it INsight, thieves don't like onlookers
@@Originalcopy20 yeah but thieves also operate at night, when the onlookers are asleep
@@YoYo-vq1ej definitely trade offs, out of sight is the best but its no use if they see you put it there Lol and you are correct even if your neighbors are awake who really bothers to check out their window if they hear a noise.
My neighbor (condos) claims to have the ultimate protection. She uses the factory fork lock, takes the keys inside, and that's it. To quote her directly, "Nobody steals a Rebel 250." I personally use an alarmed disk lock and park in front of my bedroom window so me and my M&P15 become integrated into the security system.
I dunno, a rebel 250 is pretty easy to sell, it would definitely be a target for a quick buck.
@@archygrey9093 I get what you're saying but Rebel buyers demand titles. Selling a stolen bike that can't outrun a Prius is a tough sell. Also, I work in the P&C insurance industry. You'd be shocked how few Rebel 250 and 300s get stolen. Risk vs. Reward? Rebels lack the desirable reward.
Rebels are fun. Smart lady.

For my $4500 r6, it’s about 250 per month for full coverage. I have no tickets and no accidents. You wanna talk about real theft. It’s called “insurance”, I don’t pay for it screw that

As I sit on the toilet, “you’re probably sat on the toilet”.
Spooky!
Yep... I am on the shitter.
HOW DID YOU- I mean no! 😰😰😂😂
Not even taking a shit
Very
I’ve actually switched from motorcycle chains to “security chains”, made be Nielsen who do warehouse and goods vehicle security. My bikes are secured with a chain that’s 18kg (39lbs) and is designed to resist 6” angle grinders (plus the cover and disc lock), which means if they REALLY want one of my bikes, they will have to work for it. Here in the UK, the so-called “professional” thieves won’t both with anything that takes longer than 10-15mins as in that time they could get two targets as they often have a list.
Do you have a link?
Or just walk down the road and find one that is unlocked. There are plenty in the UK.
I like the idea of hiding a claymore under the seat.
I was thinking claymore or hand grenade. Blows the bike up - no more security problems. 😂
Officer, I don't have any idea why a guy detonated a grenade on my bike.
Last week, I had my bike stolen. Had it covered, disc brake lock, cable through the cover, next to another bike (unsecured black Ninja), and custom paint job (one of a kind). Little did they know (nor myself), Honda CBR600F4i comes with the HISS, which locked up the brakes when they tried wheeling it out. Sure, now it’ll cost me a Grom’s worth to fix it all, but at least they didn’t succeed. Alarm is coming next!
Motorcycle theft is a big problem here and I put a hidden switch on it so if you pull the clutch in the motorcycle turns off unless you switch on the flip, very cheap to make probably $2
oh ok, that's why it kept turning itself off. Where did you hide the switch ?
@@Scouse_Wayne LMFAOOOOOO

Hmmmmm
However, if a thief is dedicated to steal your bike, there is nothing you can do to stop it short of pulling armed guard on it at all times.
Alan Ross yep - if they want it they will have it regardless. I know someone who had burglars remove their roof tiles to drop in and open the garage from the inside, cut the locks and lift into a van and away 😩
@@Knobblytyressoggysocks Seems like a lot of work, I guess the bike really was worth it. Hopefully insurance handled it.
@@idontcare9542 Accurate, my CBR 1000rr was in a gated and locked parking garage. It was covered and had a disc lock. Someone still managed to steal it overnight. That was two years ago. The police never found it.
I figured putting a hidden gps tracker in the motorcycle and engraving "If you steal this bike, I will know, and the police won't find you before my 10mm does" or something like that.

Folks, This bike has an INEXCUSABLE flaw
My first car was stolen last year and you’re absolutely right. The cops either don’t care or are lazy because my mom is the one who found the car and alerted them. (He was also driving around mid-day less than 2 miles from my house😂)
I mean, people “steal” and murder other people and they’re like, ehhh.
Put tape over my phone camera after I watched the intro because how else would Yammie know I was on the toilet.
My dirt bike was stolen when I was a teenager. I lived in the middle of no where on a farm. I learned the truth how the world really is that day. Now I am always cautious and lock all my stuff up.
Pro Tip- Put the disc lock on the back tire , u can't prevent some big dude lift up the bike and put in a van, but they cant remove the back tire so easy and meanwhile the alarm is screaming
Unfortunately a lot of us peasants have rear drum brakes lol
my bike is 800lbs, with immobiliser and both chain and disclock. good luck to anyone
The odds of your bike being stolen are directly proportional to how permanently attached it is to an immovable object.
Getting my bike stollen and riding at night or in the rain are my biggest fears for when I finally get my bike.
Same, legit one of the reasons for not getting a decent bike :/
Night riding requires you to be extra cautious, lights need to work and reflective gear are critical. Rain is something that happens so be prepared, what that means is regular maintenance is not an option on a motorcycle, tires and brakes should be good at all times. Having a rain suit on you when the weather looks questionable is always a good idea, and if it is going to rain and you can avoid riding it is best to avoid riding.
Rain isn't as scary as you think. Just don't ride over the white lines and brake gently. You'll be fine. (Coming from a dutch person.. if you didn't know.. it always rains here.)
Night is nothing to be scared of. Use lights and reflectors and use caution. For rain just pay attention to the weather and if there is a chance of rain use you judgement. I personally think avoid the rain at all cost is worth it, no point in putting yourself in harms way
What bike you bout to get?
Those mounted disc locks are no freaking joke. Worked at a mechanic shop and a guy came in with a bike asking us to cut one off. I made him show us the title and registration. But damn, if they are high quality, ain't nobody stealing that thing unless they pick it up.
I didn’t know we could get trackers for our bikes.... I think I’ll get a brake disk lock with an alarm and a tracker this afternoon. I’m terrified that my fat bob will get stole, it’s my only form of transport. Thank you!
Hope you still have your fat bob. Evidently they're easy to steal.
Also carrying 20lb of chain in a back pack is the most secure way to break your back in an accident!
I want you to look at how much a human head weighs...
Just get rid of your head, no problem then 😉
My Ducati Diavel was stolen 3 weeks ago. The guy is still riding around on it. I even know his name. Sheriff has pictures and all but won't do anything.
Then grab a bud and take it back.
Nah, just shoot them in the face. Should be legal.
Where do you live and why is this happening?
I've never had a bike stolen, but I've had my house broken into. I knew who the kid was who broke in and even found my stolen property at the neighborhood pawn shop. I called the police over and over and got absolutely nowhere. They just do not give AF; there is no other way of putting it.
A survey here in the UK found covers reduce theft of your bike by 45%
I use an alarm disc lock and a chain .
In the 60s we used pull the distributor rota and take it with us to prevent hot wiring .
I actually set up my tracker the same way because of you. I'm sure you must not rmemeber but back when I started riding you sent me pics and instructions on how to install them.
I appreciate it man!
Can you pass that Info off to me?
I have one bike in the kitchen & one bike in the living room.. i live in a duplex & my wife just has to deal with it 🤷🏽♂️
Lmmfao. Salute

Lmfao I hope you're not joking cause I'm thinking about doing the same thing once I get a motorcycle , I'm currently building a ramp on stairs so I can ride it straight to my living room.
@@abraham50sd legend
I’ve had people lift the cover on the China scooter on the side of my house several times… I’ve disappointed many criminals.
In my experience (which is bicycles, i haven't gotten my first motorcycle YET) thieves don't lift covers to check whats under them, they just cut them open.
Some tweeker tried stealing our neighbor's R6. Steering was locked, the tweek couldn't get it to unlock and dropped it after about a quarter of the way out of the driveway. Caused about a grand in damage but at least he still has the ride.
I mean, it's this simple if you have a home with a garage, like a house with attached. Put a lock on the track system inside. My uncle works on doors all the time and installs them everyday, this is one of the main thing he does to doors when he installs em.
As long as you garage has no other access to it except the bay door and doo that leads into the home they won't be able to break in. They can try to open your door but they'll have to literally destroy it to enter and that'd make such a ruckus that the entire neighborhood would be awake at that point.

Tysm for this video that answered all my questions, specially from someone who’s a first time bike owner 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Forgot the most important anti-theft device: insurance.
Exactly. You may never get the bike back or in the same condition but at least you’ll be reimbursed.
Finally a reasonable answer!

I wish I’d catch a bike thief I’d make sure he’d never be able to do it again
I'm waiting for that day.
He'll become unrecognizable
Maybe get a dummy bike tracker and place it in a somewhat easy to find location. Put it under the seat and connect it to wires that don't go anywhere. Just run a random wire under the tank and make it disappear into the harness. After finding one, I doubt they'd tear apart the bike to find a second one that's better hidden.
I’m really happy I did this all and then some before ever even owning a bike. I’ve spent loads on security and gear. All worth it in my opinion, but tbh home security cameras and driveway alarms mixed with a very uptight neighborhood help so much. I’ve got 6 month left till I’m done saving for my Z900 and I’m very happy with it. Yes you all will probably chew my ass out but I’m ex military and I’ve been planning this for almost a year between saving for gear, security, and research before buying a bike. I’m stuck between a MT-09 and a Z900. I really can’t make my mind up until I ride them I guess.
what'd you get dawg?
Smart. People buy motorcycles and then act like they can’t afford a helmet and jacket.
I prevent theft by having the bike apart in various places in my basement so good luck findng it all and making it work.
But Yam, why don’t ya tell us what tracker to buy?
Good video. If getting a disk lock make sure the pin is 10mm or bigger. There are disk locks with thin 5 or 6mm Aluminium or soft steel pins!!!!
Disk locks with smaller pins exist because brake disks with smaller holes also exist. Best advice is to get the biggest disk lock you disc brake can fit
I bring a lock with me everywhere and always lock it even when I walk in to Walmart or a restaurant. And I store in my basement whenever I’m not riding it and I’m still worried about someone stealing it 😂
I had my bike stolen a year ago, had put a lot of money into it, somehow got it back in a couple weeks.

2 things:
Checkout Pewag chain. About 62 rockwell IIRC. I bought it by the foot. The vendor said its used as a tire wrap for giant dump trucks to get extra traction. There are test showing it takes about 60 seconds to cut through each side of one link. 2 minutes of grinding. Thats the kind I have with a massive Abus lock.
Those Zena alarms blow. The locks are fairly stout deterrents unless you are the Lock Picking Lawyer. My alarm worked about 2 weeks before it began going off randomly so much I removed it from the lock.

Thank you very! good work we found thr bike back.
For anyone who likes to tinker, here's an old school, cheap and easy, homemade option that I have on my vintage machine that's way too easy to hotwire:
You'll need to purchase a mercury switch and a toggle switch to wire it into. They're cheap. Mount them somewhere discreet (mine is mounted inside my toolbox, with the toggle switch coming through a hole that I drilled in the top of the toolbox.) Wire this setup into your battery and into your horn (three separate wires: mercury switch to toggle switch, toggle switch to battery, and mercury switch to horn.) Finally, set the angle of the mercury switch so that it activates when the bike is standing level. That's it. Now, anytime you park your bike in a place where you're concerned about theft, flip on the toggle switch, and if someone stands the bike up without turning it off, the horns will immediately start blaring. Homemade motorcycle alarm that is a solid deterrent to thieves.
Thats smart, will probably stop those kids that like to sit on the bikes and pretend to ride them too
The dad of one of my buddies has his own twist on anchored locks. Basically they are hardened steel rods embedded in hunks of concrete that operate hydraulically. His bike is basically nailed to the ground, but only on the wheels. So if you had an entire day I guess you could run away from there with the bike, but without the wheels.
When I got my bike. I already accepted the fact it will be stolen. No wonder I've done 5k miles in a few months.
and did it happen?
"That's one motorcycle theft in a DAY." London: "That's cute."
Scooters don't count 😂
According to my manual, my bike comes stock with an immobilizer built in. The ECU changes the password with the electronics built into the key each time the bike is started, and will not start without the proper code. So that's a cool deterrent for the 2018 Ducati Scrambler 1100 Special. Might also start using my helmet lock with cable on the rear tire and through the frame just for the hell of it. But I'm sure the 3mm steel cable could easily be cut with side cutters/ pliers. Gonna watch that video from fortnine now.
An individual stealing is going to attempt starting and riding off , professional will likely have a truck . 30 seconds or less if it's not chained to something.
They may have a particular model they need . Got an order for parts or a whole bike.
Making it least easy is best bet.
I wreck my bike and had a buddy come with his truck to pick it up. It took the two of us about 10 seconds to throw the bike in the back. It must shows how easy it is to steal a bike.
Buy something flakey and temperamental...even if they beat the security, chances are the damn thing won't start anyway 🤨
Maybe something with a carburetor is qualified, they'd be stuck in there for 2 and a half minutes trying to cold start it in midnight/dawn.

Bro best defence is an IED, I mean they'll take the bike with them, but the only place they'll be goin is those big pearly gates. But in all seriousness, I'm looking into getting a motorcycle at some point in the near future, and this video will definitely help alot of new riders (including me) so thank u for the advice
I am more experienced with muscle powered bikes but I can reccomend fake rust. Nailpolish with coffeeresidue and ashes, makes great patches of fake rust and is removable.
Tell me about it. My first scooter I bought was stolen 2 days after I bought it. Cops did not care a bit. This is one of the reasons why I dont like cops.
I have a GPS tracker that is hard wired into the bike and hidden in an uncommon area as well as use rotor locks but I do have the extra luxury of knowing what happens if someone gets caught with my stolen bikes. There is no need or use in reporting a bike stolen in Texas at all because they never even look for it, honestly most cops are useless when it comes to bikes but being part of a club helps to locate it.
I like the caliper mounted disc lock he talked about.
See now your making great sense, all good advice in this video.
Tile batteries are replaceable and last 1 year or more so it's still a great tracking option.
I was going to say that. You don't recharge them. But, they rely on other people having tiles or the app on their phone to be tracked so not great.
Someone in the comments mentioned putting a dummy tracker in an obvious place like under the seat though, and I've got some dead tile mates from years past... Sounds like a plan.
Unless the theif takes it more than 250ft away from you

Ive done aloy to protect it
Once I get my bike, I plan on using it as a daily commute to school, but I’m legit so scared that someone is gonna steal it as soon as I just spent close to all my savings. But I feel like if anything, I have a higher chance of somebody backing into it, scarping it with a door on the side, or just knocking it over or some stupid thing like that. But I’m definitely scared somebody is gonna get all ballsy and steal it.
Claymore roombas are a good security measure too.

Yup I’ve got homework to do again today but it’s ehh
Thanks for the info homeboy.
Someone stole my motorcycle 2 months ago here in Austin TX , luckily APD recover it a month later.
Now I need that tracking device!
If anybody steals ANYTHING from me, and I catch them, they're dead. They can argue the morality of death for theft, but they will be doing it from the next life
as a makeshift tracker until you can get a proper one, stick an old phone in the bike somewhere.
you can then use a find my phone app and track its location.
a phone not being used can usually last about a week before needing charging......better than nothing.
now that is clever.
Attach a usb port in your battery box and the phone will always be charged
You could probably have one of those apps on the phone that allows you to hear and record from the microphone from another phone
Should have watched this before someone stole my bike last month lol its so weird having to get used to public transportation again
That was one big thing that happened out at our Marine Corps base in 29 palms when I was in. Seemed like they were on a spree taking them right out of off base housing.
😓
I just have a pipe bomb underneath the seat wired to the ignition 💣
yep...that is where we are going...back to hanging horse thieves😉
That is actually quite a good idea🤔
I got a 4'x5' 3/4 steel plate with a welded loop that's fused with my front yard that's my anchor.
Nice. Salute
Damn, I live in the A and didn't know it was this big of a problem. Good lookin out. Salute
Had my scr950 stolen at the beginning of quarantine here in STL. They found the bare frame 30 miles south... stay safe yall
Did you say STL as in Saint Louis, MO?
Bikes are like animals you have to guard them and bring them inside when it gets cold! You don’t it want be there! I got two and I got the biggest chain I could buy, like a short piece was $150 bucks so good stuff, and a level 10 case hardened lock and I bolt them to the garage door frame so noisy if you touch it! Plus mine want start without the key and the steering locks on both bikes! Plus I’m retired I’m home and up all night and I’m surrounded by family on all sides so someone is always watching things. So good luck not getting your head blown off around here 😳😂
Garage and a lion works perfectly.
