Premium Member V8titanpwr Posted August 17, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 17, 2014 Picked up a reminder cable today but not before forgetting about the lock, twice, could have been much much worse but still a dumb mistake. Also, my phone has a mind of its own in my pocket, just ignore that, haha. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truth Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 You should've got that awesome XENA disc lock alarm from Revzilla dude, it beeps when you move the bike so you'll never forget about your disc lock when 120DB is ripping through your eardrums, for a solid like 70 bucks i think.

cassecou Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The same crap happened to me 15 years ago after leaving the movie theater. I forgot I had my disk lock and my Ninja zx900 fell on my leg. My knee was in pain for about a month after that. I never forgot my disk lock again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to stay clear of alarmed disc locks as I have heard so many times about them randomly going off etc. It's mainly there as a deterrent anyway, a disc lock to a good thief is nothing, that's why I have good insurance.

nlsquare Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 i'm looking into getting a Xena as a visual deterrent to go along with my spot trace and gorilla 9000. Can't seems to find which model to use on the rear disc using their template finder thingy... anyone can help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motocr Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I am confused as to what size disc lock fits the FZ-07? For the front it depends on if you want the lock pin to go through the vent holes in the disc or go through the larger ones beside the mounting points. I have a xena x15 has a large pin and can get it on the front at any if the holes next to the mounting points, for the rear I think you have to get one that fits the vent holes with will be smaller. You can get away with a x14 on the front and possibly a 13, when in doubt they will have a size chart with measurements so you can make sure the depth of the pin will go far enough over the disc.

duenan Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If you want to be safe, 5mm for sure fits (lol). Guessing 10mm pin would be the biggest to use. But I just got a 5mm pin.

yamahaha Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I never used reminder cables. I thought setting the stop switch to off was enough of a reminder. That was fine till I decided to work on a bike without starting. Moved it ahead and bam: bent the rotor and broke a chunk out of the fender/fairing. You can be sure I use the reminder cable now. I bought one of those LockAlarm disk locks last fall. Have not really used it yet but it works well in testing for a cheapie. Also bought one of their cable alarms so I can secure two bikes together. Pretty good units and loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumped it pretty hard, but luckily was mostly cosmetic damage to the bar end slider. Always use that minder cable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2wheeler Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I bought a reminder cable when I bought my Xena lock mostly just to make the cute sale lady happy. My personal thoughts WERE that you had to be an idiot to pull out with a disc lock on your bike. Obviously that was until I did it. I was fortunate in that the lock was positioned very near the caliber and I was in a parking lot and started out very slowly. Nothing happened other than a light clunk sound and me not going anywhere. I was lucky from what you guys are saying! Yeah, I put my orange cable on all the time now. What works for me is to run it with each end over the handlebar grips. Very easy to do, easy to see, and with the Kryptonite reminder cable, the loops are plenty big enough. Just a thought about the Xena disc lock with the alarm... mine sucked! The lock part is great, but that alarm would randomly go off for no reason whatsoever. It did not matter where it was on the disc, and there was no consistency to when it would go of at all. I got a super deal on it so I just took the battery out and use it as a lock only. If you read the reviews on them, a lot of people have that problem. I could have taken it back probably - it was a special order, but I got such a good deal on it, I just kept it.

Read more: http://fz07.org/thread/571/forget-disk-lock#ixzz46E47tZZF I've heard that about Xena for years. I keep hoping they will get better. I had a Talon alarm that was totally unreliable. Went off in the middle of the night and woke up neighbours who, instead of knocking on my door, called the police who were not happy about telling me to shut off my motorcycle alarm.

07echelon Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Can be inducted into the "idiot who forgot their disc lock" club? I opened the trunk to put my disc lock in as usual. I have a reminder cable. It reminded me to unlock my front disc lock and take it off. BUT. I got distracted and left it dangling by the reminder cable off the brake lever for a 30 mile commute. Halfway through my commute I noticed my rear seat wasn't locked in. I thought it was odd, but just locked the seat in place and continued riding. When I arrived I finally noticed the dangling reminder cable, then proceeded to call myself an idiot for the next 30 minutes. I dun goofed. 2015 FZ07 Gallery: http://fz07.org/thread/4304/07echelons-gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xorbe Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I looked and looked but couldn't find the video. An older couple on a Harley, starts to take off, bam disc lock, everyone falls off in the parking lot, in front of all the other bikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sane Posted April 20, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted April 20, 2016 I use a 6' piece of rope with a carabiner on the end. The carabiner hooks onto my clutch lever after having crossed my bike from the rear disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
