Motorcycle locks promise a lot but do they actually deliver? Our in-house motorcycle thief goes all out using lock picks, snips, bolt cutters and angle grinders in a bid to nick the precious YZ50. Here’s what happened…

I find theft insurance works the best , as long as I pay it my bike doesn't get stolen. For 30 + years it has worked.
If a thief is willing to take the time and risk to use an angle grinder to steal a bike I`d say the fellow deserves it. Ultimately though if someone really wants your bike they are going to get it period.
4 minutes and 10 seconds to cut that flimsy ass chain? I could probably break that with a hammer in under 5 minutes.
Lockpicking lawyer would have a field day picking any of these
this video has been very entertaining to watch XD
You only appreciate theft once it’s happened to you. In broad daylight crooks broke through the rear gate, down the garden, broke the door off of the walled garage, got the chain off the bike and away they went. I now have two 19mm security chains with my 14mm carry chain and a shipping container - that is what brought me piece of mind, if they want it they will get it if persistent enough. £50 chain will never do anything
Or two skateboards and a van.
Good review, but what about those disc brake hole locks?
screaming disk brake alarms are good . they dont even notice them until they go off and wake u up
Armoured cables don't resist a few hammer blows either, I am pretty sure they have ball bearings inside. I have a U (it weighs a ton) and sometimes use brake locks all of which must be easy to pick for a pro. The main thing for me is visibility and to avoid routine or parking patterns but I don't commute by bike so it is easier said than done if you do. If you commute to work every day, you are likely to park your bike at the same spot or in the same street and thefts will take notice of your routine. I also avoid covered and underground carparks even with a gate. It is so quiet, it makes stealing your bike a broad day light walk in the park. Here comes a minivan, they load your bike in and drive off. Sometimes you even get the footage and the Police can do nothing about it, it just good for insurance purposes. Having a Scandinavian Abloy lock on a U would seem like the most thieve proof system if it exists... Keep in mind that whether you have a scooter, moped or bike, ideally you want your lock to be fixed to some unmovable object and that's where the chain comes handier than a U. If you lock your rear wheel as you normally would but it is not fixed onto a fence or a steel bollard or what have you, all the thief has to do is place a skateboard under your back wheel and snap the steering lock. It is a ballsy move but these guys know no boundaries especially when they use under age wannabe criminals like a "family" business, they often do. Dad, teach me how to steal a bike type of scenario. Time is of the essence, when your precious bike is visible to everyone and you multiply the locks, it might be a deterrent but yet again the very large majority of passer byes will mind their own business even when they see a guy with a bolt cutter operating around bikes as if perfectly normal... One thing that would be nice is removable spikes or razor blades that you could fit on the inside of your frame all along where the bike can be lift up. Dipped in cyanide :-D The best thieve proof system would be to remotely shut down the engine and track it. Maybe you can do a video about best / least noticeable tracking device. Great channel.
Use a thin part-off wheel for stainless (Inox) I can cut through that heavy duty chain in less than a minute.
GPS tracker
What about disc locks? Beefy, and hardened, yet easy and light(er) then a chain.
What about Abus Disc locks...
I just use a cheap dog chain with my rotty tide to it.
kryptonite 1275 is by far the best one thanks to the loop+12mm chain+14mm shackle
i "trust" locks same way as I "trust" people, its either paralyzing or fatal electric shock system or either never park your bike in public, at minimum paralyzing, so you can catch a thieve call cops, make a thief to pay you a good fine for attempting to steal.. thieves would be gone 4ever

Just give me the link to buy the most secure, i dont want to knows how it work
This is what I would do: A) I would make sure that the bike is stolen, locking it so that it's easy to se that it's stolen. B) Buy a electric scriber. C) Scribe on the inside of the rims and other parts of the cycle with this number : US//911// (file number from the last case or cases you might have). By doing so the thief will be caught whenever the person wants to put it into the buy/sell-pile.
My strategy used to be park next to a more expensive bike buuuuut that doesn’t work anymore when you got the most expensive bike lol
as a cyclist friend of mine who rides his bike in the city for the most part told me, have two locks to a chain, have one that needs a key and the other one that is a dial combination. two locks is like a fail safe. But yeah, as with other comments below, why not use a U-lock? those are solid steel.
4 minutes 10 seconds are you sure? Bennetts motorcycle insurance cut it in about 8 seconds and it only took that long because of a slip. ltworlds.info/home/vaizdo-ra-as/vn2BlNynlKuJfso.html I think ridiculous is the word they used...
I prefer Goldylocks!
a ramset would ruin all of them but on a real note a theif would just use a 9mm
I use reverse psychology by just leaving mine lying down on the pavement unlocked
I'd love to see someone try pick up my 270kg dry weight Vmax Gen 1 up and walk away with it......
Don't trust any lock anymore. They are all shait. ltworlds.info/get/m9K6rby98W8JigLoZOh6FQ.html
it wont last 30 second in Bangladesh
Great info. Like others, I'd love to see a similar review of D and mini-D locks and disc locks.
This made me want to watch a spy movie.
...aaaannnnnd you just sold another kryptonite lock
The boiling repair provisionally protect because beret technically kill since a harmonious hammer. curly, abrasive children
I find it incredibly hard to believe that it took 4 mins to get though that chain
@Adam Franklin I wonder where the line between entertainment and social responsibility lies...
‘Thief’ Must have been having a bad day at work. A half decent grinder goes through this in seconds as the Bennett’s Bike Social guys say - best watch their video. Kryptonite it’s still better than nothing and of course could be enough to pursuade the prospective thieving wrongdoer to look elsewhere - it’s always a trade off between portability and ultimate security. But 4 minutes plus !!?? Still a Good vid delivered entertainingly.
It took us five seconds...
am I watching a real james bond movie?!
0:28 Panama
Hidraulic bolt cutters. Small, fast easy
no Xena disc locks?
What about "Acid" ?
Yeah but can they cut the lock on the chain with the bolt cutters since it's just a round ubolt essentially
The absolute best bike SECURITY tutorial on LTworlds.....Full Stop. Thanks FortNine.
Disk detainer lock picks aren't anything really special, you can get a cheap one for like 20 bucks from china. Figuring out how to pick a Lock is a whole other story.
What about disc locks?
Best protection is still an alarm lock on a grade 8 hardened chain and a tracker on the bike. Let's face it, a professional thief is going to get the job done, but your average dummy will avoid the hassle once the alarm goes off.
I still have a Kryptonite lock popular in the 1980s: a long metal loop that fits on both ends into a heavy bar using an acme lock. I wonder how that would compare to the security-busting techniques above.
LockPickingLawyer could have picked them all
The best bike security is parking next to a more valuable bike. Especially easy if you ride supermoto. Any bike will do
No chain is going to stand up to a cutting disc . If you're bike is in a shed a baby monitor is your best bet
I use an alarm (accelerometer, movoment sensor alarm) that screams way to loud when someone touches motorcycle. Also I use the chain like in this video and one big ass U lock.
Great video!
@FortNine How about disk locks?
I have the Kryptonite Chain...also called a "New York Chain" - which they say, requires nearly 15 minutes with a power grinder. I also "lock" the steering...which you didn't mention. hence, the trouble and expense of disassembling to unlock it, etc. does this normally not make theft an uneconomic prospect?
sick intro and transitions!:)
Huh, I actually really enjoyed this! Good job :)
what about those new Disk locks with alarms on it?
Best engine oil for my Bajaj NS200 4t 20w50
great channel!
Best anti thief when you travel across Europe? Always chose an hotel with a garage.
I use a bike U lock on the rear wheel and a cable one in the front just to be annoying.
@FortNine hi are you willing to test our product 😂😂?
In Indonesia thieves use acid liquid, no lock can lock anything if it's melt
If you go out in the town with your bike for work or just to hang out with friends, do you carry your lock at all times?
I'm gonna use that chain on my steering wheel
R.I.P. Sean Connery Crazy this happened to be this year.
what about other locks like rotor and lever locks? battery kill switches? GPS trackers? so much more to explore on this subject....
Dude I look for a video to suggest a look to a friend today and your intro is like James Bond... RIP Sean Connery
I've got to be honest, probably the worst fortnine video, mentions nothing of almax or pragmassis. Just shitty Kryptonite chain
Dude if you can park your motorbike in your corridor inside your flat or house then do so. Install a high tech GPS tracking alarm system too. 95% of motorbikes in UK are retrieved from thieves ever since this came out.
This is the best LTworlds video I have watched in a long time, love it man.
Who else watches LPL here ?
290 thief's disliked the video.
The Lock picking Lawyer has entered the chat. ltworlds.info
get Gps locator and insurance .If you deal with a pro , bike is gone .
Does everyone forget that a chain needs to be locked too?
Oh you hold the item with vise grips, no not a thief a welder.
Cordless angle grinder with a stainless cutting wheel. Your lock, cable or chain is gone, and your bike.
Hydraulic bolt cutters are missing
1:30 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Alright this is now brought to my attention. Who writes his script??? “Tighter than Octopussy’s.......Fist.”
I have heard stories about sheaths / covers for the beefy chains that claim they can foul up cutting disks. It would be interesting to see a FortNine vid digging into that.
Alarm.
I really appreciate you doing this. Definitely helped me out with my decision.
I freely admit to watching unhealthy amounts of LockPickingLawyer. Guilty as charged
wonder if LPL gave permission to use a clip of his video...
@Wuanslm in certain circumstances it no longer is fair use. Did a lot of research before i posted. You should do the same
I pissed myself laughing at 7:10
I've seen guys wear their securing chains like necklaces under their jackets. Dunno how comfy that would be.
Are you teaching the theft how to steal my bike?🧐🧐🧐
The thief should have used Hydraulic shears, the new models are the same size as bolt cutters and can often be cheaper (for some weird reason)
The name, the face, first impressions arent always right. Your THE best motorcycle content creator and honestly in my book in my top 3 channels in all of LTworlds.. btw the second video I watched had Geoffrey in it . I spit my drink up ...
What about BRAKE DISC LOCKS?
Pun game : legendary
The folding lock is a good option if its cheap, and small like a bicycle or a really cheap moped. Armored cables cost more for no difference, Mostly people without tools will target cheap stuff. However The chain is obvious if it's a actual motorcycle.
Bro I love your reviews, if I was a fish I would swim in your deep see. 👍🏾💯🇬🇧
LPL:"good enough"
Thank God, I did something right!
Lock picking lawyer 😎
Big ass chain is a strong as it's weakest link which is usually the lock you choose to use to lock up said big ass chain . So situate the lock to lock on to a part of the bike so it is inaccessible as you can make it for power tools .
But Ryan what if the thief carry my bike to his house?
Sure but what do you chain your heavy duty chain to? I had a Triumph Trophy (237 kg) stolen from my front garden. The bike had an Oxford heavy duty chain (like you showed in your video) and was parked sideways between the front of the house and my car. Either side of the garden was a 1.5 meter wall. The police told me that the bike must have been LIFTED over my car and stuffed into a van. All this without the neighbours hearing or seeing a anything.
F9 what about locks like: U-Locks from kryptonite 13mm shackle?
