  • Who runs the xr650r again?
    What do you do to prevent someone just riding off, have you got an electric start fitted? Or live somewhere that wouldnt happen.

  • What do you do to prevent someone just riding off,

    A la this Husaberg?

    Was chatting about this with some dirt bike owners, and my mechanic.

    When I removed the clutch lever safety switch from the DR350SE, I put an inline fuse, just in case the e-start blows. So my mechanic recommended I leave the fuse accessible by the headlamp - whack out the fuse and it’s one more issue to overcome when thieving.

    One of the guys I went on the green lanes with has that KTM exc 2 smoker, and so no keyed ignition. We were discussing this, about fitting a lanyard killswitch (or else a hidden killswitch) to the same effect.

    Without the lanyard you’re stuffed. Or, if you have a killswitch wired in and hidden from view, it will be pretty difficult to start without knowing where to look.

    Those were the two ideas I’ve heard about.

  • Yeah that was about what I'd though, wiring a switch in.

    Thankfully I'm out in spain and you can park a bike here without much worry where I am. But I'd need some deterrent as no garage.
