So, how would I go about stopping theives stealing my bike, dont say alarms because i'm not sure my points ignition system will hold it
ive been looking at disk locks with alarms but they will only work if its wheeled off, what if they pick the front wheel up? ____________________ Honda CB-1, TS125X

I've got an alarmed disk lock, it gets set off by a bit of movement so it would sound even if the front was picked up. I asume you've not got access to a garage (?) How about a shed (?) Alarm the garage/shed if available and have a sensored security light pointing on the door, fit a ground anchor and make sure the chain you use goes trough the frame and not just the wheel.
The above won't stop the determined of course, it's all about making it hard so the less determined give up.  ____________________ CBT: Pass 25/06/2011 Theory Test: Pass12/06/2012 Mod 1: Fail 08/07/2012

Best thing to do is not own a bike that gives little scrotes a raging hard on. Beyond that, the second best thing is to make it so they don't know it exists...i.e. putting it somewhere out of sight.
After that, chaining it to something solid with a fecking good chain. I don't think anything else will stop them and the chain only stops the amateurs.
My experience of bikes like that is that they will get nicked very quickly if their whereabouts is known. God I hate this country sometimes  ____________________ ZX6R + CBR600RR |

Keep it in the house. There are few lengths a wee scrote is not prepared to go to to steal a dirtbike BUT upgrading theft theft to burglary is a bit of a step up for most of them.
Boundry maintainance. Make sure they would have to climb over or break something to get at it.
CCTV.
Two different sorts of lock that take a different tool to break.
So say a big U-lock and a cable (can't hacksaw a cable, can't bolt crop a U-lock)
A padlock through the back sprocket is probably better than a disc lock and harder to cut/break if you get the right padlock.
It'll still go if they see it and want it. I had a big dirt bike stolen which was chained down to a ground anchor with as strong a chain as you could hop to own and fitted with an immobiliser. Chain cut, bike slung in a van. It turned up three days later being ragged around the local town by a wee scrote. That's a lot of effort to go to for a joyride.
The only thing more desirable to a theiving scrote is a C90. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

After each ride, completely disassemble the bike down to nut and bolt level.
Over the next few days, post the parts back to yourself from various locations around the country.
Once you've received all the parts back, reassemble the bike, ride it, then strip it down and repeat the process.
