Dunnowotyeronabout, I don't know nuffink.

Actually, I'm confused.

My KC100 got nicked from the works carpark, the GP100 got stolen from my 'rents garage when the centre lock of the up and over door got punched out. They got my mums TS50X at the same time.

I had to Google KC100, looks a bit like the YB100 I had.

I remember KH 100 and KE100's but couldn't remember the KC100. None of my mates had one.

Early 80s RD Yams were easy to steal.
Unscrew the headlight and disconnect the ignition switch connector.
Bike starts

Same with some early Kawasaki strokers. Unplug or cut the black/white wire from the ignition switch and you're away.

These same crimes continue, decade after decade. Are we doing something wrong. ?

Keyless for the win

Lots of Landrover owners might disagree.
Fairly well known exploit regarding some types of keyless ignitions.

Although what they end up with might protect you?

£5 faraday bag soon stops that, an obvious solution as not keeping your car keys next to the letter box

It is, or was a designed feature on Triumph alarms / immobilisers

Another obvious one is keys which turn themselves off after lack of movement for a minute or two.

Relay theft. I turned keyless access off on my car.

DT125's were even easier, reach in behind the headlight, pull the plug for ignition switch and it will start !

[Cousin Jack]

Pah! My first bike's 'key' was flat, no grooves, no serrations, nothing. I lost it so just used a screwdriver. BSA does not stand for Bike Secure Accesss.

I always thought it was Bits Stuck Allover

[Cousin Jack]

Yebut they weren't stuck that well, bits tended to fall off.
