Hi,

I don't really bother with the Aprilia as I don't leave it in town very often, but when I leave the ZXR next year i want to have it chained up, disclocked etc. but where can I store them on the bike when I'm riding.

Are there any spaces under the seat or something?

Also what alarm would you recommend, I don't want fancy stuff like remote starting (what is the point really? oh look at me I started my bike without going near it fnarr fnarr! Unless it is a 2t then you can warm it up I suppose, you could also scare people who walk past it!) I just want it to go off when people fuck around with it, try sitting on it etc.

Thanks,
Matt Wink

edit: If the alarm etc will lower my insurance that is Thumbs Up

On my ZXR250, it can happily take a 50 quid chain and lock in the passenger seat and if you're willing to whip out the toolcase, you can have a disk lock (oxford titan style ones) in lieu of the tools. I have an immobiliser on my bike which is actually mounted beneath the tank and situated within the wiring loom. So i can only assume it's marginally bigger on the ZXR400 then.

Get an Accumen 911 for something decent and good value, or a datatool system will also work, but you're talking about 200 quid. My datatool immobiliser came with the bike so it was essentially free.

There's quite a bit of space under the ZXR400 seat to be honest! compared to most sports bikes anyway.. !

Thanks for the reply, I've looked under the pillion seat but not the main seat, I'll have a look there. Probably enough space under the pillion for a disc lock and chain(and some sarnies!!).

Where is the Tool kit? Under the main seat?

riichy- I've already got one, 1993 Red! Very Happy
