don't have the protector, but i tell you my suspension are damn worn out, got sound some more, you won't even bother to give a second look, but the stupid thief just too desperate.

 

And you know what, I was parking near the entrance, all cars come in definitely will pass by the area. Just how daring these bas***ds are!

[operator]

i tink its good to have protector coz it makes it abit harder for them. A kind of deterence.

 

Anyway, i heard those thieves in jb can steal suspension in 5 mins. Its a simple and quick job.

 

As about ur suspension being in bad condition, these ba****d dun give a damn sia. They can sell to shop for 100. Those shop rebuilt and sell for 200-300 hundred. Its easy money for them. dun be surprise if u happen to buy ur own suspension sia.

[keeok]

bro u can weld the screws but fyi want to take out very troublesome.... need to take out tyre and then grind the screw... one possible safe way for the shocks.......

[x15]

just replaced with gazi suspension, cost me a good S$280 (plus on-site installation).

 

damn those thief, i curse you die in car crash.

how does the suspension protector work?

[operator]

Its just like a round socket that covers the allenkey screw. You have to remove the protector first before you can remove the suspension. To remove the protector, you need to remove the seat 1st.

 

Its not 100% thieve-proof but it does act like a deterent.

hi bro where can i get this protector form n roughly how much?

[biting_point]

one more addition protection you can try is to reverse the screw and nut at the bottom.. by doing this, you gonna take out the wheel before you can take out the side without exhaust.. because it'll be blocked by your spocket..

 

but exhaust side still can be taken out.. best is do whatever you can to protect your own bike..

forget liao. but not too expensive. more than $10 but shld be less than $20. Go get them. Don't let those darn thieves easy pickings of your bike.

 

Lets do watever we can to take care of bikes and look out for each other. It is our hard earn money..

[biting_point]

haha..

 

ppl are desperate for things that have even the slightest resale value..

 

just keep a lookout for your fellow bikers.. provided you are not those who hunt for spare parts..

dun tink it will take tat quick. the protector is like a cap. it will encompass the screw. If the protector is properly and strongly secured, it would take a longer time to break open.

 

The only possibility that it will fail is that when the screw holding the protector gives way. So make sure you really tighten the screw for the protector.

[Phantom_maverick]

Sorry to hear that. you got your suspension fixed back?? Anyway, my handlebar balancer was stolen at the location also. Seems like I'm not the only one that got 'rob'.

[slakerz69]

its true the protector helps alots. better get it ASAP n better loose 20 buck than 200 buck. its damn worth it.....

[seancxm]

protector from LAB costs only $10.

 

was one of the 1st things i got when i got my S4

Dun underestimate the abilities of these thieves..... They r able to break the holder with a chisel (duno how to spell dat) and hammer within 10sec....

 

 

Weld the screws maybe...

 

 

 

 

*Btw, lock handlebar also no use.... It can be unlocked using ur legs in less than 2 sec...

Given the right tools of course it will be easy but it does act like a deterence. That extra 10-20 secs it takes to break open the protector first might just be the difference between $20 and $200.

It's seems a trend to steal from S4s.

 

My Spec 3 headlight was stolen from Bukit Panjang, Segar Rd multi-storey carpark. Same thing, parked near the entrance but still the daring thief can just pretend to do some repair works on the bike and steal.

 

People will think that it is his own bike.

 

Hope S4 riders have more awareness. Together we can deter these thieves from attacking or bikes!
