The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

maddiedog, thanks for the reddit link. Looks like rear disc lock was the thief's biggest struggle (short of GPS tracker) but as we know, the PCX doesn't have rear disc. What's our next best thing?

Sounds like a heavy chain, through the rear wheel, with a locking bike cover. You can also put an alarmed disc lock on the centerstand, all you'd have to do is drill a hole in the right place and you wouldn't be able to take the PCX off the centerstand without setting it off AND have it alarmed in a place that's nearly impossible to cut.

my views on alarms is this.
i was goin to get one when i got my pcx. especially coz not long after i got it some kids decided to pick it up and walk down the street with it, they couldn;t work out how the stands worked so they just left it on its side. i was pissed off!
so i start thinking about an alarm but then something clicked. i could get an alarm but what if i am out for the day, lets say work for example, someone knocks my bike over, the alarm goes off, great. i get to my bike after working for 10hrs to find, a few things, 1: my bike on its side and oil running from the air filter, (£15 quid to replace) and 2: my battery dead coz the alarm has been sounding all day coz no one knows who the bike belongs to (£50 rto replace if not more)
i went out and bought a newer bigger chain instead and a disc lock.
