5. The Power Of Two
It's best to use two or more locks of different types. Rarely will a thief be prepared to tackle different kinds of locks.
6. Don't Cheap Out
Go for the good stuff: Alarmed disc locks, U-locks of hardened steel and asymmetrical chains (51/48 inches or greater) all rate highly.
7. Get Sneaky
If you're really determined to foil the bad guys, wire up a kill-switch or spring-loaded switch that must be held down when the start button is depressed.
8. So That's The Key
Make a record of your key numbers, then file them off the locks if they're stamped on-anyone with a number can have a key cut to fit.
9. Shine A Light
If you park outside, choose a well-lit, conspicuous area. If you can't lock your bike to something stationary, try another bike. Even plastering your bike with "Alarm Installed" stickers could discourage the bastards.
10. Move it Or Lose It
Last but not least, remember to remove your cable, disc or U-lock before riding away. A helpful article on this too-common blunder is at http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/streetsurvival/LockReminders/.
