Wintyfresh 46 Posted December 19, 2014 I managed to hotwire the Baja Designs kit on my WR just by pulling one wire. Totally unintentional but it just confirmed my suspicion that keys on a dirt bike only keep honest people honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00yz250 0 Posted December 19, 2014 You actually need to lock it to something. It doesn't take much to pick one up and throw it in the back of a truck. I once lost a Honda 150 that was parked right outside my bedroom window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 561 Posted December 20, 2014 One hammer and screwdriver takes care of most bike ingnitions anyway. I have done a few insurance write ups on theft recoveries when I was in the repair business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
