Motorcycle thefts are increasing in the United States – you can prevent the loss of your precious wheels by ensuring that your motorcycle is secure and protected. Here\u2019s a guide to SOS Locksmith\u2019s top motorcycle security tips, as prepared by our residential security<\/a> experts here at SOS Locksmith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lock your Bike to Something Heavy<\/h2>\n

Try locking your motorcycle to something firm and heavy that can\u2019t easily be moved or knocked over.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Avoid Customizations<\/h2>\n

Customized motorcycles make them more attractive to potential robbers, so as boring as this sounds, try to make your bike more typical looking.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Motorcycle Covers<\/h2>\n

Cover your bike with a durable motorcycle cover – it will act as a deterrent to potential thieves.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Park in Crowded Areas<\/h2>\n

Try to park your motorcycle in crowded areas – this will act as a psychological deterrent, as well as a physical barrier to allowing the potential bike thief to more easily get away.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Always Keep Keys on You<\/h2>\n

Even if you\u2019re just parking your bike for a couple minutes while you grab a snack, don\u2019t leave your keys into the ignition. Always carry your keys on your body.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lock Ignitions<\/h2>\n

Always lock your ignition when you park your bike – this deters potential thieves from attempting to use screwdrivers or keys to jimmy the ignition open.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Disc and Fork Locks<\/h2>\n

These locks secure the front wheel or steering of your bike, preventing it from being able to move even if thieves somehow get your keys. When a fork lock is in place, other bike features will still operate, however the motorcycle cannot be driven.<\/p>\n
