    ive been told of a rising amoutn of people knocking people off there peds/bike when there stopped at trafic lights and then that person rides of with the bike..

    My question is, does the killswitch break the whole connection so even if they had the key they'd have to change the wiring so they could start it, and if so, can they use the kickstart to start it?

    im trying to find a way to help prevent this :p so hopefully if i get knocked off then they'll jump on, and not go anywhere, looking like a twat:p ha

    Any other Anti theft suggestions (antitheft during the period where im riding) are highly welcome :):):)

    thanks guys

    i can stop the bike from working so he cant make a quick get away
    cause he aint gonna just push ma scoot down the main road or owt:p

    Yeah, if you get yourself a lanyard style killswitch like speedway riders or enduro riders use then as soon as you leave the vehicle, the ignition is cut and the only way to start it again is to re-connect the cable or take the switch out of the system (not something that your average theiving scum will do at the side of the road)

    I have one i fit to my bikes if i ever ride into london or any of the bigger cities.

    You can find these on ebay for about £5 posted


    as for other anti-theft devices, make your scooter look like a pile of shit, theives go for shiny, if every panel is scratched and cracked then they won't be bothered. AND NO MALOSSI STICKERS!! lol

    ride round with flat tyres, chances of them getting away quickly on it are pretty remote. depends how far you want to go, i'm sure it would be possible to have a small nail bomb in your seat on a remote switch, that'd make em get off quick. electronic fuel cut off switches.

    I think i'll get the cyclone allarm (same as urs nibbles) and one of those lanyards
