Well as I break in my new KLR650 I have come to really like this new bike. I want to hear from the group whats the best locks to buy and use on my bike. I read about the KLR owners that hand cuff themselves to there bikes and the other that bring it in there motel room BUT short of that...... Can you help me out with a brand of cable lock that someone can just cut? and what about brake rotor locks and which brands are best?
Thank in advance

Try tying a skunk to it. Worked for me once the skunk got used to the idea.

Hi Tom
I have purchased a XENA brake rotor lock a few years
ago and like it. It also has a built-in motion sensor
that can trigger an alarm which also act as a reminder
should you try to ride with the lock ON.

I second the skunk suggestion. If you have one of the
green KLRs and don't wash it often, sometimes the
little fella takes a liking to it, like his own little
bush.
Alternately, get the heaviest kryptonite chain and
lock you can afford (I think it's fuhgeddaboutit and a
big disk lock) and trim the black plastic cover over
the starter relay etc (on the left side, under the
tank) so you can thread the chain through the main
part of the frame. Recognize it's only a deterrent,
don't park in dumb places, and you might survive
without the skunk.

Just curious, Jason. Did it have the original HF engine in it? I
think a lot of the HFs I see these days have had engine conversions.
What did the original HF engine make, like 56 horsepower or something?
As a side note, HFs are getting hard to come by, as it turnd out to be
the lightest CRX chasis since they went nutso on weight savings to make
that fuel consumption number, and its gotten to be a very popular
chasis among the project set.
