I've had the disk lock for a while now, but the fidelity of the keys is such that it's actually pretty finnicky to unlock. And if you don't unlock it within 5 seconds, it blasts you with the alarm. It was giving me anxiety every time I wanted to go for a ride. AND THEN, it started to arm itself even though the lock was open. So i'd throw it under my seat and it would start screaming as I drove down the road. I ended up just gutting the alarm and now I just use the lock itself. The lock is great, but I can't endorse the alarm. Hearing it again in this video triggered my PTSD.
@@luc1ferblack Have the 8077. It has two flaws: 1) There's holes easily accessible where the noise comes out. Spray some glue in there, or just put your fingers over the holes, and it makes a lot less noise. 2) The time from starting to lock it, to fully armed is too damn short. I've heard my alarm many times now, all because I was locking/unlocking my bike. If you don't have a very easy to hook onto brake disc, or have the optional additional chain, then you're most likely going to hear your alarm go off right near your head, quite often when you try to lock your bike. :(
When you put it under the seat it will arm itself if something, like a strap, rolls in its gap. Also, even disc locks need some maintenance... If the mirror part gets dirty from water stains, it needs to be cleaned, otherwise it arms. I find it very good, the last 4 years and I have witnessed it to save my bike and its accessories many times.
The Sena GP10 audio pack works flawlessly with the Sena 10 C EVO helmet camera, allowing two synced audio tracks for simultaneous forward and backward-looking shots. Remember to update all Sena products firmware often, they are pretty good at fixing coding bugs and making improvements. I enjoy your videos very much, thanks for all your hard work!
it took me a while to notice how little subscribers you have. I just automatically assumed that there were a ton more because of the production quality. absolutely top notch! I'm sure people will start to flood in.
That disc lock alarm is awesome! Gives us guys that sadly have to park our bikes outside a little piece of mind while sleeping at night. Great video, thanks!
+FortNine Really appreciate the the quality of your videos, the mild backlight used works as a charm! Also the Aspect ratio changes back and forth from 16:9 to 4:3 on the explore vlogs add to the delightful viewer experience. Good Work Bud, keep rollin ;)
Half the stuff you review will cost the price of a small bike in my country BUT I still like watching your show, Good quality! Ill subscribe to that Cheers!
You're right! They often get set off at the wrong time. But the alarm turns off automatically if the movement doesn't continue, so it's no biggie. ~RyanF9
I faced the same dilemma, The street cats at my place tend to mess with your stuff all the time and 120db every night will get me angry neighbours who will trash my bike anyway.... A simple disc lock with a GPS device which gives me an alert if the bike is moved should be enough I guess..
I’m hope that things have gotten better in the two years since this came out but since you have a cover that unlocks for changing the battery why wouldn’t there be an adjustment for sensitivity and the timer to unlock. Of course nowadays you could do that with an app. Seems somewhat archaic not to have such features
I use the XENA alarm disc lock for 4 years now. Very satisfied. Quite sensitive, depending on its position on the disc. It deters pricks that tend to touch bikes and take things off them. Need to change that CR2 battery every 2 months.
a mate got a very similar alarmed disc lock and i taught him a valuable lesson... any true friend will wait for you to put it on, let you stand up, then kick your tyre. wait for it to go off while being yelled at the kick it again, etc. Most fun kit he ever got
You seem like a really nice person, and so far I've enjoyed watching all your motorbike gear videos, very informative! subscribed :) wishing you luck, and keep up the good work.
1. Thanks for the reviews. Very useful and informative. 2. Thanks for showing us around Quebec. I enjoyed that. Hope to see more. Having just moved to a 2013 tiger 800 from a 2007 tiger 1050 I hope to get out and explore eastern Ontario... Paved roads or not.
Hi, correct me if i'm wrong but the anti-thief device seems quite useless, usually motorcycle theft load the motorcycle in a van and bring it to a garage to take it apart/look for devices like this one. Few steal motorcycles to have a night or two of "fun" to then abandon the bike. It will be best if the device could track the last position on a map on a smart phone or something. The lock looks good but i guess i could use it only without battery here in nyc :) Thanks for the vid.
I had to take the alarm out of my Xena14 because it was way too sensitive. Wind, loud noises, even shutting the door would set it off. The lock is also fiddly and sometimes it takes me a minute to be able to get it undone. And under my bike seat is now yellow as the yellow paint rubbed off.
Digging thru ole' F9 Videos, I found this gem. 1. I'd be curious as to what Ryan is using these days (at the time of my writing July 2020) for his Vlog comms. Seeing that GoPro is now on version 8, or something. And... B. It's pretty amazing how much Ryan's accent has changed/grown/advanced over the years.
I really like the idea of the Senna Gorpro Bluetooth unit but I have a hero black 5 and they don't fit 😞. I've had mic issues with the GoPro so this would solve that in an instant. Please pester Senna to make one for the 5. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Ryan love your videos very informative very professional I've been riding for 56 years I've had a motorcycle endorsement or 48 I ride every day just a little background on myself here's a clue in for you when they steal your bike that lock you showed will do absolutely no good what they do is they pick up the front of the bike and put a skateboard under it then they pick up the back of the bike and put a skateboard under that and they zip tie them and then they roll it wherever they want it it's easy as pie I know this it happened to my son
I own the lock mentioned and even though it is built tough, the draw back it false alarms like crazy. I had to pull the battery out use it as a regular lock
own 2nd lock now, yes, sometime it will trigger out of blue, but still use it without battery so the theft will think twice to touch my bike even though that lock alarm is actually disabled lol.
I have the Sena Backpack but don't use it anymore because it filter out exhaust and engine sound too well. I wanna hear my V-Twin and my voice! Running a regular lapel mic will do the trick.
Was going to do Parc de la Mauricie. There seems to be a wicked nice path through there. Friends decided last minute to hit Vermont instead. Well next time for sure.
I had both of the newest generations of that disc lock. After awhile the alarm will just go off whenever it felt like. And the new double lock feature makes it a pain in the ass to unlock sometimes. Ended up gutting alarms on both.
Hey! The audio pack has Sena's new universal intercom software, meaning it *should* work with the Scala Q1 (I haven't personally used the two devices together). The only downside I foresee is that you'll only be able to record your own voice. As opposed to people who use the GP10 with a Sena comm, which lets them record the voices of other riders in their group as well. ~RyanF9
I'm not happy with my Xena lock, either. I got the exact same one Ryan shows off. Mine goes off all the time, in the saddlebag, while I'm riding. I often pull to a red light or a fuel stop beeping at 120 db, looking like I stole the bike. The alarm part inside the lock gets easily displaced when not locked on the brake disc, rattles around and the light sensor arms it, which makes it go off on the next bump.
I had the Xena disc lock here for test and it does a permanent alarm when locking it. So it was unusable for me. I take it back to store and they gave me another, i tested it in the shop with the same failure. So i bought the more expensive one from ABUS
Hi, Ryan. Excellent video, as standard. Keep it up; I really enjoy watching the reviews and the vlogs. I was wondering if you've done a review of the best 'budget' Hd Action Cameras? Not everyone can afford a few hundred dollars/pounds for a GoPro Hero5. It would be nice to see which ones out there are the best for price, mount, quality, battery and user friendliness, etc. Also, maybe a vlog on the best Bike accessories for keeping your bike in one piece (frame sliders, crash bars, handle protectors, etc. . Let me know what you think. Thanks, Ryan. All the best
Hi Ryan .... maybe not so futuristic (almost) but what about available wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems out there ... Thanks in advance and keep it up.
Hey Peter! Yep, I use a Hero Session and a Hero4 Silver. For audio, it's the exact same setup as we used to make this video - a Zoom H4n connected to a lav mic. When I'm vlogging I just tape the lav mic to the inside of my chin bar rather than clipping it to my shirt. Cheers! ~RyanF9
"So if I don't come home one night my wife can go online and see where I've broken down". Wow- guess we know who wears the Kevlar jeans in that relationship
Hello young man. I absolutely love your product reviews. I was wondering if you can review gps navigation systems like Garmin 580, 300, TomTom, etc, etc? Thanks and keep up the great work. Jesse
Hey man, I really like what you are doing....Great MotoVlog I wanted to ask you about the sena audio system you have?is it worth buying it? Thanks Michael.
It depends how much you care about audio quality. The SENA GP10 is a slick system and if you already have a comm mounted on your helmet, it's definitely the easiest way to record your voice during motovlogs. But if you *don't* have a comm system already mounted, it's just as easy to buy a lav mic and run it up into your helmet. You'll get better audio quality from that, as opposed to the SENA. Depending what you hook your lav mic to, you'll probably get a longer talk time from that option as well. ~RyanF9
I would go for an Abus 8077 Alarmed disk lock, stronger and not prone to constant false alarms. Also the Xena locks can easily be broken with a screw driver and hammer.
I'm riding a few different bikes this year, but most of my time is spent on the 2015 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 you can see behind me in these videos. It's the same bike we did the travel series on! (ruclips.net/p/PLQlYdWX-PfbnGSuJOCQiMOen-nuDe0LBl) ~RyanF9
I have the xena wheel blocker thingy, and 3 weeks after purchase I yanked the batteries out of it because it will give false alarms non stop, the neighbors where very happy is what I can say. It's a good bike blocker to have on you everywhere your would like to park, better than a chain but I use a bike alarm with a pager along with the xena and that never gives false alarms. I would like a gps alarm if I could find one here in Romania but for the moment a xena, a pager alarm, a bike cover and 2 chains should do.
Sena Bluetooth pack doesnt work very well recording the voice, when you are going fast more than 100kph . i had a hard time recording voice Via the CARDO packtalk . some thing to test .
F9 I love your Explore series and your top motorcycle gear list, keep up the great work. When is the next season for the Explore Series? Love the icon gear have the patrol set myself looking to get a Variant if i can get it at a good price. I have watched the Explore series episodes many many times, first and second episodes are rides I want to do myself might be doing the eastern townships next week. Nonetheless love your videos tell the team to keep up the great work and best of luck with the switch from CanadaMotorcycles to F9 cant wait to see what it becomes.
Wow thanks for the feedback! We're currently filming season 2 of FortNine Explore in Ontario, so it'll be out next riding season. In the meantime, we're planning to release loads of new product reviews, bike reviews and motovlogs this summer. ~RyanF9
Spot Trace. 6500m above sea level ? If in fact it is "satellite" tracked, why not 10,000m ? Spot likely works ONLY from cell phone "satellite" towers and not in extreme remote areas. I have a friend (tech. wiz) who said it didn't work on a Canadian west coast cruise ship holiday, so he cancelled his subscription. Why didn't it work ? Probably, Spot doesn't have access to such things as SPACE "satellites." This needs to be checked more vigorously, especially if you're planning extreme remote runs.
I'm watching this July 202 (middle of Covid-19, remember that?), and it's amazing how things have moved on. Even these products are old hat already. Typical great vid though
FortNine...do you think you can do a review on the Sena 10C? I'm thinking about getting one.I'm not so much worried about the video b/c I'm just gonna use it for accident purposes.What I'm concerned about is the bluetooth feature.I wanna make sure that I can talk to other riders & make & receive phone calls.Thanks in advance brother,later.
Yep - I'd really like to review that product. Might be a little while though ... in the meantime I can say that the Sena 10C *can* do all the things you mentioned. Once I review it, we'll see how well it actually performs those tasks! ~RyanF9
Temp range for the GPS is 30-60c? 86F-140F? So if the temp goes below 86F the GPS does NOT work? So on a cool day it will not work? So if a thief takes my bike I can only catch him in the summer? I pay year round for service but I only works 6 months of the year? Ok.... I live in south Louisiana in the winter if we do not have a cool front then it can be 80F at night.
Quick question about the disc lock it automatically shuts off after 15 seconds if so that's really stupid you get a thief that doesn't care or is quick enough your bike could be gone before anyone tells you get your alarm is going off
I've had the disk lock for a while now, but the fidelity of the keys is such that it's actually pretty finnicky to unlock. And if you don't unlock it within 5 seconds, it blasts you with the alarm. It was giving me anxiety every time I wanted to go for a ride. AND THEN, it started to arm itself even though the lock was open. So i'd throw it under my seat and it would start screaming as I drove down the road. I ended up just gutting the alarm and now I just use the lock itself. The lock is great, but I can't endorse the alarm. Hearing it again in this video triggered my PTSD.
check out a abus detecto granite
Triggered your PTSD? I hope that is an exaggeration.

You are waaaaaay too young man...Condolences.
FortNine I was like dude Ryan you look like you're twelve and you're married winning at life!
Awesome so does that mean she might consider showing up in a few videos and helping you to review more women's gear?

i thought of that too
Well, its half a million now. I guess production values make a difference. :-)
700k as of Jan 2020. I’d love to know what they had 3 years ago in 2017.
They did! 980k now.
Over a million now - well deserved
Been watching your video's for a while now, I appreciate the straight forward approach and seemingly non biased opinions. Good stuff, Cheers.
That disc lock alarm is awesome! Gives us guys that sadly have to park our bikes outside a little piece of mind while sleeping at night. Great video, thanks!
I still come back to these old videos years later just because of the quality
mannn......the best review guy in the whole world.....thank you so much for helping laypeople like me......awesssome channel.....
+FortNine Really appreciate the the quality of your videos, the mild backlight used works as a charm! Also the Aspect ratio changes back and forth from 16:9 to 4:3 on the explore vlogs add to the delightful viewer experience. Good Work Bud, keep rollin ;)
We need a Top Security Gear, Chains, Locks, Trackers, Disk locks lots of stuff out there to review!
It's in the works! ~RyanF9
+FortNine Glad to hear.
And have the Lockpickinglawyer giving is personal opinion.
I'm almost sure LPL reviwed tgis one
Half the stuff you review will cost the price of a small bike in my country BUT I still like watching your show, Good quality! Ill subscribe to that Cheers!
"The battery should last about 12 months by the way, unless someone tries to steal your bike every night." I lol'd xDD
crazy that this 7 year old video on moto tech is already so outdated! such a good video too - still fun going back and watching
5:39 RIP headphones users
Excited to see all the changes with this new name change and everything! Keep being awesome yall :)
Judging by how little it took for the alarm to go off, I'd be worried that a slight gust of wind or a truck driving by could set it off too! :D
You're right! They often get set off at the wrong time. But the alarm turns off automatically if the movement doesn't continue, so it's no biggie. ~RyanF9
So just te be clear, a little gust of wind can set this off for 15 seconds ?

It does, I can attest to it. I now use a Kovix that can also be used with the alarm turned off.

Your vid's are great, great quality edits, keep it up FortNine
something about your videos, thats just so easy to watch, good editing and good video length i guess
keep up the good work
Hey, Ryan Iam from India.....got an 250 cc bike KTM DUKE. which security system is suitable for my bike ??? waiting for your reply .....
I dont necessarily buy these things because i dont need them. But your videos are so chill i love it.
Xena XX10 is exactly what I was looking for. Great video.
RyanF9, love the reviews!! Please keep them coming. I find your channel extremely helpful and often even inspiring. Great stuff!
I had this playing over my speakers, so.. Thanks for that.
Ringing ears, oh boy.
For the longest time I thought you were a teenager, the yiu mention your wife finding you and I see a ring. Like what lol
Haha, yap! We tease him about that here at the office ~NeilF9
Ghettoblasterhp600 ...wut.
Ghettoblasterhp600 u good, dog?
First video I saw of his I was like "Who is this f****** kid, Then I saw a bunch of his videos and I realized this guy is awesome!
Can you be an anymore obvious troll Ghetto?
thanks - this saved me a lot of time with two pieces of gear i was looking into !
I've used one of those Xena locks. It's loud. And it actually works.
You seem like a really nice person, and so far I've enjoyed watching all your motorbike gear videos, very informative! subscribed :) wishing you luck, and keep up the good work.
I love the alarm. Thanks for the reviews. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
1. Thanks for the reviews. Very useful and informative. 2. Thanks for showing us around Quebec. I enjoyed that. Hope to see more.
Having just moved to a 2013 tiger 800 from a 2007 tiger 1050 I hope to get out and explore eastern Ontario... Paved roads or not.
Best reviews ever in my opinion. Who does your editing?
Bro ! I love your videos... like you should of have at least a million subscribers! So informative and entertaining! Keep doing what you do !!
You are my new favorite moto based RUclipsr! keep up the good work man, love the videos!

he's 48, Canadians age remarkably well.
okleydokley 95% are obese as fuck so don't get excited cause this dude is cool.
I really like the idea of the Senna Gorpro Bluetooth unit but I have a hero black 5 and they don't fit 😞.
I've had mic issues with the GoPro so this would solve that in an instant. Please pester Senna to make one for the 5.

I have ben watching sum of your videos and I am impressed. thank you for sharing this with us.
Xena xx10 vs Oxford boss.., Thoughts on best for the money..!? Looks like the Xena takes up less carrying space and is a bit louder.
Never saw that disc lock before, pretty sweet! And yes I had to turn my speakers down... my dogs were most displeased. :-D
Such good videos. Really impressed with how professional this channel is. Definitely earned a subscriber.
I own the lock mentioned and even though it is built tough, the draw back it false alarms like crazy. I had to pull the battery out use it as a regular lock

Top video mate, that Sena audio device part really cleared up a question or two I had about that as I'm not familiar with those products
You do some great job. But, i wonder why you got less views and sub count. You deserve more. Keep it up :)
I have the Sena Backpack but don't use it anymore because it filter out exhaust and engine sound too well. I wanna hear my V-Twin and my voice! Running a regular lapel mic will do the trick.
Does the gopro case allow for constant charging? Also I just bought and love the "flash2pass" garage door opener you should check it out.
The waterproof case does not. Although the new GoPro 5 is waterproof all on its own, so that changes things. Cool - I'll check it out! ~RyanF9
gonna buy the sena disk lock for sure!!😍😍
bruh. I'm drunk but still. y u no have more views
talking satellite bullshit
Great honest reviews as usual. Keep them coming. Also really enjoy your Quebec area tours. Will embark on one this weekend!
+Nic Chapleau Nice! Whereabouts are you headed? ~RyanF9
Was going to do Parc de la Mauricie. There seems to be a wicked nice path through there. Friends decided last minute to hit Vermont instead. Well next time for sure.
Cool! I did the loop through Mauricie last year. It's absolutely stunning, but the rangers keep pretty close tabs on your speed so be careful! ~RyanF9

I'm not happy with my Xena lock, either. I got the exact same one Ryan shows off. Mine goes off all the time, in the saddlebag, while I'm riding.

Not everyone can afford a few hundred dollars/pounds for a GoPro Hero5. It would be nice to see which ones out there are the best for price, mount, quality, battery and user friendliness, etc. Also, maybe a vlog on the best Bike accessories for keeping your bike in one piece (frame sliders, crash bars, handle protectors, etc. . Let me know what you think. Thanks, Ryan. All the best
I got the XENA lock and I think it is great. EXCEPT, you have to pull out the battery to transport it somewhere after unlocking.
Can you do an updated video of this
I was thinking of getting the Oxford boss alarm lock but would this Xena be better?
Hi Ryan .... maybe not so futuristic (almost) but what about available wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems out there ... Thanks in advance and keep it up.
Hi Ryan
Whta do you use to record your Vlogs on your Motorbike? It looks like a Session with some kind of Audio setup!
Hey Peter! Yep, I use a Hero Session and a Hero4 Silver. For audio, it's the exact same setup as we used to make this video - a Zoom H4n connected to a lav mic. When I'm vlogging I just tape the lav mic to the inside of my chin bar rather than clipping it to my shirt. Cheers! ~RyanF9
Cheers Ryan. I just wish the comms like Sena or the one I have UClear had this capability, which it should seeing that it connects via Bluetooth
I cant squid with yammi noob, but i like your style ,content and delivery.
Nice one, brilliant as ever, any chance of some Sat Nav comparison's?
Does he resale all these items at the same price or discounted price??
Hi Ryan9. Regarding the sena bluetooth device. Is there a system I can get delivered to the UK similar to this to fit to my Gitup Git2?
I have that lock. To say it is loud is an understatement! Lol
Ryan F9, How about an update on rain gear. About three years ago you reviewed the Icon PDX2. Do you have any new recommendations?
Can you make a vid for best motorcycle dashcams? thnks
"So if I don't come home one night my wife can go online and see where I've broken down". Wow- guess we know who wears the Kevlar jeans in that relationship
well... he meant in case he crashes. But well :D
Hahaha perfect
I dont get it?
Or they have a great relationship and he doesn't have to do stupid shit to stay happy.
Ryan, how do you like the icon variant helmet? I saw your video on it and a few others but no real in depth use. Love the channel!
What iPhone apps would you recommend for GPS tracking and route planning.
Dam I'm actually starting to like this guy! Great tips!
What's your best/favorite place on the helmet to mount a GoPro?
Hello young man. I absolutely love your product reviews. I was wondering if you can review gps navigation systems like Garmin 580, 300, TomTom, etc, etc? Thanks and keep up the great work. Jesse

I love that your sub count right now is 234,567
Hey Ryan , How about a video on a fuse block install video. Like Eastern Beaver or Denali powerhub2
I would go for an Abus 8077 Alarmed disk lock, stronger and not prone to constant false alarms. Also the Xena locks can easily be broken with a screw driver and hammer.
With the alarm does that mean wind can set it off if its outside?
What bike is it that you ride? I have just started watching your channel and was wondering, thanks! ~the other Ryan
I'm riding a few different bikes this year, but most of my time is spent on the 2015 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 you can see behind me in these videos. It's the same bike we did the travel series on! (ruclips.net/p/PLQlYdWX-PfbnGSuJOCQiMOen-nuDe0LBl) ~RyanF9
I could be wrong.
That alarm could be too sensitive.
I think it should only go off if someone tries to roll your bike away!
I have the xena wheel blocker thingy, and 3 weeks after purchase I yanked the batteries out of it because it will give false alarms non stop, the neighbors where very happy is what I can say. It's a good bike blocker to have on you everywhere your would like to park, better than a chain but I use a bike alarm with a pager along with the xena and that never gives false alarms. I would like a gps alarm if I could find one here in Romania but for the moment a xena, a pager alarm, a bike cover and 2 chains should do.
Great video, I love your stuff
I use GP10 and I love it. 🖒
Sena Bluetooth pack doesnt work very well recording the voice, when you are going fast more than 100kph . i had a hard time recording voice Via the CARDO packtalk . some thing to test .
F9 I love your Explore series and your top motorcycle gear list, keep up the great work. When is the next season for the Explore Series? Love the icon gear have the patrol set myself looking to get a Variant if i can get it at a good price. I have watched the Explore series episodes many many times, first and second episodes are rides I want to do myself might be doing the eastern townships next week. Nonetheless love your videos tell the team to keep up the great work and best of luck with the switch from CanadaMotorcycles to F9 cant wait to see what it becomes.
Wow thanks for the feedback! We're currently filming season 2 of FortNine Explore in Ontario, so it'll be out next riding season. In the meantime, we're planning to release loads of new product reviews, bike reviews and motovlogs this summer. ~RyanF9
Could you do a best motorcycle protection gear to wear of 2016? Would be much appreciated!
I'll add it to the shooting list! ~RyanF9
FortNine Thank you so much!
Spot Trace. 6500m above sea level ? If in fact it is "satellite" tracked, why not 10,000m ? Spot likely works ONLY from cell phone "satellite" towers and not in extreme remote areas. I have a friend (tech. wiz) who said it didn't work on a Canadian west coast cruise ship holiday, so he cancelled his subscription. Why didn't it work ? Probably, Spot doesn't have access to such things as SPACE "satellites." This needs to be checked more vigorously, especially if you're planning extreme remote runs.
do you know if you can hook up the spot trace to battery to draw power from if the internal battery goes out
Yep - SPOT sells a waterproof DC power cable separately (www.findmespot.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=39) ~RyanF9
I'm watching this July 202 (middle of Covid-19, remember that?), and it's amazing how things have moved on. Even these products are old hat already. Typical great vid though
FortNine...do you think you can do a review on the Sena 10C? I'm thinking about getting one.I'm not so much worried about the video b/c I'm just gonna use it for accident purposes.What I'm concerned about is the bluetooth feature.I wanna make sure that I can talk to other riders & make & receive phone calls.Thanks in advance brother,later.
Yep - I'd really like to review that product. Might be a little while though ... in the meantime I can say that the Sena 10C *can* do all the things you mentioned. Once I review it, we'll see how well it actually performs those tasks! ~RyanF9
10:4 thanks man
FortNine bro I need to know if I can connect it to the gopro hero 5 and the cardo smartpack I have a smartpack and want to use it for the vlogs
the alarm . way kool
Ryan, would love to see a current update like this video! 👍
Temp range for the GPS is 30-60c? 86F-140F? So if the temp goes below 86F the GPS does NOT work? So on a cool day it will not work? So if a thief takes my bike I can only catch him in the summer? I pay year round for service but I only works 6 months of the year? Ok....
I live in south Louisiana in the winter if we do not have a cool front then it can be 80F at night.
Quick question about the disc lock it automatically shuts off after 15 seconds if so that's really stupid you get a thief that doesn't care or is quick enough your bike could be gone before anyone tells you get your alarm is going off
+sherman1ai ok thanks I was wondering that would have been really dumb if it would shut off
+sherman1ai never underestimate human stupidity
