onur Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi guys. I've started riding few weeks ago. I had a chance to try a FZ-07 (it was already my dream bike) and I immediately fall in love with her. I don't have a garage and I am parking my current bike near a public road with an extremely thick chain and disc lock. Problem with FZ-07 is I didn't see any spot to use chain to lock main frame. I am afraid someone will steal the bike if I lock only rear or front tire. Do you have any recommendation? Sorry for my English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member norcal616 Posted October 4, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 4, 2016 You can use a chain thru the hole in swingarm...I would slip a rubber tube over chain if it's just metal to keep damage down... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onur Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Do you mean this hole: Chain has a cover, but it's a little bit short (electric pole is a bit thick). I hope swingarm is not easy to remove or cut. Thanks for advice and sorry for my English! Sorry for my English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdifabrizio Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Rent a garage or storage unit near you. Once the throttle is cracked on, it is rolled on evenly, smoothly, and consistently throughout the remainder of the turn. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1738084489772201/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onur Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 @mdifabrizio unfortunately renting garage and storage units are not available in the place I live in. Sorry for my English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'm not sure about where else to wrap the chain on your bike but I hope you are chaining the bike to something that can't be moved so that no one can just lift your bike up and load it into a truck real quick.

Premium Member norcal616 Posted October 4, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 4, 2016 The front or rear tire is easy to remove with a very quick ratchet job...but the swing arm requires a fair bit of parts on the bike to be removed just to remove swingarm...or run the chain thru any of the actual blue tubular frame pieces in above picture as an alternative... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onur Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 @norcal616 I was planning that blue tubular frame but I am not sure there is enough space for a tick chain. Sorry for my English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomster0508 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 what i did to secure my fz was i installed the scorpio ride system. It has gps,tilt,shock,and proximity sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member motomeek Posted October 5, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 5, 2016 Welcome! Another security measure you can do is purchase a bike cover... And did you happen to purchase a disc lock with an alarm? Instagram: @meekmade | You don't need to flat foot a bike to ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
