    Hidden kill switch on my bike

    Borg reported yet another attempted theft on a bike this morning. I can't find any thread showing the "how to" of a hidden kill swicth, and while I'm, sure I could make something up, is there anyone out there that does this stuff, or has the revelant expertise to recommend a kit, of the components and "how to"

    Please share - I'm keen to do it personally, and it might save a lot of people a lot of cash

    the quickest and easiest way is to fit a kill switch on the + wire to the fuel pump.

    You have the space to park it in the office with you...
    I reckon you could just use the stand kill switch and adjust that quite easily

    Or further more, cut the wires and run them up into a flick switch under the seat? So you need the key to get to it in the first place? That way it would have the same effect as leaving your stand down, e.g, nothing working

    On the RF, you can start the bike with the stand down but as soon as you put it in gear it'll die.

    I would only trust such a low rated set of contacts to switch a relay that carries the actual load. My 2c...

    More indicative than an actual example, I agree with you.

    Imagine having another key switch, say under your seat or under the fairing... that you have to switch on before the bike will start.

    Unfortunate that there are two main methods of stealing a bike and generally one preventative measure does not stop the other method!

    Can i have my glass pipe back please?

    I still think a couple of U locks, one for each wheel, is the best solution

    Alot lately seem to get ridden away, but if they want it bad enough they will carry it.

    Just alot more obvious to the public eye.

    the idea is to make your bike harder to steal than the one next to it.

    So they take the other one instead....

    I'd like a switch that connects the HT leads to the bars. Or maybe your arse. That would put them off.
