Study on Theft of Motorcycle (Yamaha RXZ)

[bendi]

Hi all I am doing a study on theft of motorcycle in singapore. Particularly with Yamaha RXZ.

Yamaha RXZ is one of the highest model reported being stolen in Singapore.

As such I would like to seek advice from fellow bikers here with regards to the following questions.

 

1) What is the reason why this particular model is a favourite with thief?

 

2) What are the precautions that can better secure this model from being stolen? What kind of locks is recommended?

 

Thank you.

I believed old bikes are easy targets.

 

e.g, 9 years ago when I was working at Pizza Hut, the RX-K's ignition can be turned on by finger nails

Rxz parts are stolen for spare parts.

Fairings are stolen by young boys on bicycle who dress their bicycle up with RXZ fairings.

I doubt kids at the age of 14 buys the fairing and brings them home to use.

Even if you chain it up, I can carry it up with a buddy.

It is right. the ignition is easy to switch on with items.

 

Best way to prevent theft is to lock it(any method) and cover it up.

i think in singapore most of the theft is petty theft or opportunity theft mainly for joy ride or hydher mentioned for the parts.

 

locking the handle bar or even a cheap globe brand padlocks could prevent most motorcycle theft in singapore.

 

heard of the story where two friends encounter a bear while hiking? when one of the chap dropped his bag, change into running gears and started doing warm-up, his friend told him not to be silly as he can't out run a bear. the chap just reply he dosn't have to out-run the bear. he just have to out-run his friend...

 

you just have to make it difficult enough for the thief to go for the bike next to yours:cheeky: RXZ is a damn common bike.

I believe a simple cover will protect the bike a lot.
