PROTECT YOUR MOTORCYCLE, MOPED or SCOOTER

To protect you motorcycle, moped or scooter remember LOCK, CHAIN, COVER.

  • LOCK: use a disc lock to help secure the front brake disc, or a grip lock to secure the brake and throttle controls. You could also use a D lock on the front wheel to stop it being wheeled away.
  • CHAIN: Use a chain lock through the back wheel (the front wheel can be removed). Chain your bike to something heavy, even when in a garage. You can fit specific attachments to lock your bike to at home.
  • COVER: Thieves often ‘shop’ for particular bike models. Using a cover instantly makes it less attractive to them. A cover also provides another time consuming obstacle for the thief.

Further tips

  • Set its alarm if it has one
  • Use a designated motorcycle parking place with a stand and security loop if you can
  • Mark your motorbike with its vehicle identification number
  • Add a ‘kill switch’ which prevents the start button from working unless pressed
  • Never leave loose items such as helmets or other possessions with your bike
