Second, I have a question. I am trying to figure out how it was done. Someone saw a person riding my bike off. Which means that It was either hot wired, or they had the key.
Not my friend who owns a Yamaha said that the 07 gsxr 600 shouldn't be able to hot wire. He said my ECU is probably under my seat , and that My bike has a electronically controlled steering dampener. Which means that The steering lock couldnt have been broken. And even if it was , it wouldnt have been able to be driven too far because it would have resulted in some damage.
So yeah the only conclusion is that either the guy i got my key duplicated from, or someone else had the key to my bike. or it got hotwired.
What do you guys think? can the 07 gsxr 600 be Hotwired and steering lock be broken?
They could have made a switch in staters. Their some story on here about that; I am pretty sure its a sticky. As for the steering lock; in all reality it is useless. They can be broken, and ridden with them broken.
I fail to see how the damper is related at all whether electronic or not. Its not like the steering lock is designed through the damper. Had you had the bike serviced recently? Maybe a shady mechanic or clerical person copied your key or wrote the number down from it and made one later, they pretty much always ask for relevant information or have access to it via your registration card which may have been under your seat as far as where you live. This happens easily with the right combination of lowlifes around.
Something just seems odd that the thief would steal it at 11 am in broad daylight. You sure its not a person you know or might have had someone in your apartment recently that would have taken the spare key and stole your bike?
Just as a moderator note, I do not want to see REAL DETAILED accounts of how to hotwire motorcycles posted on here. General postings are fine to allow people to know how to take adequate precautions, such as the referenced sticky. We don't need to contribute free advice to would be thieves.
they should start putting tracking chips in the frames of bikes from the factory, sure it will cost a little more, but I would pay a little extra to have piece of mind.
If you get your bike stolen; sometimes its better to not get it back. You know they are going to pick it apart and sell parts out. Sometimes you can get lucky and get it back altogether. Hope you get back to riding soon.
To answer your question, your bike can be hot wired and the steering lock can easily be broken. Your ECU doesn't activate strictly with your key chip like the newer Ducati ECUs.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss.
Did you have Theft coverage?
hmmm now the question is if its a tedious process to hot wire it. BEcause the theft happened at 11 in the morning. So if its a tedious process, its less likely that it was hot wired.
hi guys here in S.A the F--kers load them up in vans n drive away i no its easier to take none coded models, but ive heard of coded models been stolen n ridden away.
