Theft attempt

[JDBlast]

Hello guys,
First post here. Didn’t know a whole forum existed out there. Glad to see there is a community around the mighty busa.

I Wanted to get your guys opinion on this theft attempt. I Bought a 2017 hayabusa unridden after my gsxr 1000 was stolen. Low and behold there was an attempt on my bike. I was able to learn from the first one and put the best lock I could find on it, which did deter the crooks.

Two questions.

1. What am I looking at, cost wise for damages?
2. What can I do additionally to prevent this as I am sure they are coming back with bigger bolt cutters.

Thanks guys any response is appreciated.

I'm guessing apartment parking lot ? Fix well ronayers.com look up your ignition switch / fuel cap / seat lock unless you want to have two keys . Now you can get just a switch / extra key blank to cut one side to new ing switch , and other side to fuel/seat locks . I may have a nice top clamp that the tamper screws are out of making the new switch install easy .

Advice either get a storage unit , or 1st floor apt , and bring your bike in by pushing never ride in or neighbors will eventually rat you out . Fire code does not allow it in most cities . Buy them all cookies , and be nice so they like you . this way no one cares you take your bike inside .

1) The damages can be repaired by replacing the bad parts with good parts *

2) If the crooks do not know what you have, how will they know if they want to take it *

That just infuriates me on your new 2017, I can imagine how violated you must feel.

Claymore mine and motion switch should do it....

Best advice is find another place to park it...they will be back and your only hope is to catch them in the act. A lot of people have the motion alarm that does on the disc...but that only is going to work for as long as it takes them to haul the bike off...

Thanks for the response,

Yeah it was in an apartment parking lot. I choose the building because it is an underground parking garage with cameras but that hasn't deterred any thief yet as I have researched how many reported thefts there are in this facility. I always thought about pushing it into my unit but I couldn't round the hallway corner and for sure I would be ratted out haha. That ignition idea is what I am looking for. When I had my Ducati Diavel no one tried to steal it due to the electric ignition switch. So I believe what you explained would have a similar function?

In the meantime I am trying to move out of this facility and into a house with a garage. I have ordered two 100lb plates and an oxford chain that I am going to attach to the rear wheel. That was just me shooting from the hip on a short term fix so they wont be able to pick it up and load it into a van.

No the key I mentioned is still oem pm for a pH # if u need better explanation.

Haha that is a cool cover. Although I have a feeling somone is following me.

Yeah that is what saved it this time around. I didn't have one on my GSXR 1000, so they got away with that one back in February.

When I lived in my condominium complex, someone messed up the ignition on my Katana. Not sure if they were attempting to steal it, or were just being a$$holes. I had to rent a U-Haul and take it to the dealer, but before the new ignition came in, I traded it for a new 2007 Busa! My neighbor, who had a garage, let me park it in there for free! He had a Chrysler 300, and the garage was quite small, so he didn't even use it.
Shortly after however, my wife (then girlfriend) and I moved into a house.
My ignition wasn't as bad as yours, but it was bad enough that the key wouldn't work anymore.

Dude that just sucks... Welcome to the site, have you heard about The Google?

One swift slash with a box-cutter and they know exactly what you're hiding!
This is a tough one to remedy.
Out of sight out of mind works for the best part....until you get followed home.
It's gotta be anchored to the ground and alarmed with an extremely LOUD siren.
Ultimately, just find a place with a garage, get a dog that lives in the garage lol.
Easy to say, but really, that's the answer.
I live in a small town, farming community type. Seems everyone here is pretty decent, honest, and have all the toys they want.
Any lowlife thieving scum don't last here 5 minutes!
Good luck man, keep us informed.

Silly me and my train of thought @ more mileage on the rear tire ~ didn't imagine somebody following me home *

As the lads have already stated , indoors and out of sight is the best option , but obviously not always available for big city dwellers . Now certainly another option is the ground anchor , used with a suitable chain / chains and quality lock set up , can at least be a visual deterrent . I am going to just say , that if the pricks really want your pride and joy , well pretty much nothing is going to stop them , or stop them scouting out

your protection set up , and returning better prepared at a later time . Of course , portable angle grinders are now the low lifes weapon of choice , and , really anything can be cut with the right wheel fitted up , fast .
Well pictured here is a couple of locks ( Busa key for scale ) that are basically crop proof , with boron steel shackles and feature basically un-pickable and bump proof cylinders . Also , a Pragmasis 16mm boron crop proof 1.5m length chain ( longer length up to 2.5m available ) for example . The chain is also available in 19mm and 22mm boron link size . The larger dark bodied padlock is the strongest in the world , currently available . It features 16mm boron shackle , a top level cylinder NW4 , weighs 2.2 kg and is weather protected . The other is the Abloy PL362 , features a 15mm boron shackle , a protec cylinder that has never been successfully picked by anyone , and weighs 1.27 kg . There is a boron steel shaft also available that can be run through wheels etc. , that you can use with the chain set up . Two anchor setups or a couple of chain lengths would be best to secure everything nicely . Towels or some sort of cushioning to protect wheel surfaces is also recommended , taking into account the weight of any of this kit .
Also , most marketed motorcycle locks are not crop proof , but are a more personable / transportable weight and size .
Good luck , hope everyones rides are safe and secure .

sorry man hate to see that

What u ought to do is park it somewhere wide open.... someplace in that parking lot that it is sure to be stolen..... THEN borrow a car with dark tinted windows... spend the night in the car... I'm assuming this theft attempt was on a weekend......... u might be able to catch em in the act...... I seriously doubt they are prepared for a citizen drawing down on them.... and what do u mean u think u are being followed?????

Good advice, I like the idea of it being tied down but my building will not let me drill into concrete. I wanted to run an Idea by. I bought two 100lb weight plates that I am going to thread this chain through and tie to my back rim. This combined with the OXFORD BOSS LOCK that has a tilt siren combined with an additional brake lever guard. I am thinking this just might create too difficult of a task for the thieves to move on to the next bike.

I do live in Bellevue Washington which is supposedly top ten safest cities but that hasn't stopped them from stealing my 2017 GSXR 1000 and now an attempt on my 2017 Busa.

Yeah I camped out the first few nights. They hit me on the weekend of March 3rd and then again on the weekend of May 27th so that would be a lot of weekends. The reason I think someone is following me is that they know exactly when I get home and when I am not there. I am not sure on the car exactly. I am from Arizona and need to get my CCW. We didnt need it back in Phoenix. (then again no one ever messed with my stuff there either)
