Not sure if Drunken Monkey is using one or not.

But he's a MotoGadget junkie so should know quite a bit.

good price until you have to pay to get the immobilizer deactivated.

I downloaded the instruction manual, and I don't understand one of the electrical connections.

I'd get one for my new (to me) Bandit, not the Monster.

I shied away from it. It's a 'swipe to turn on / swipe to turn off' design, and frankly I like keys :)

I'm sure it's a snap to use one with a motogadget, but you'll have to wire in a couple of relays to replace your ignition with one on a stock bike.

Actually, since your key won't actually unlock your ignition anymore, I bet you can just tape your key to your instrument panel and have the immobilizer work fine  ;D

interesting idea, but I prefer a key. Especially to engage the steering lock.

So leave the key lock in place and locate this in a hidden spot on the bike.

Or attach the keyless fob to the keyring you keep the key on. In which case what's the point?  [laugh]

I can see keyless working with the Ducati system or like with a car. It works while it's in proximity (4 feet or so) and there's an "on/off" button.

But a "swipe to turn on/off" keyless system? I don't see the point...

KESI systems on cars and bikes isn't a bad thing, but the swipe thing makes me think you should be saying "Daniel-San...Wax on-Wax off" everytime you turn the bike on or off....LOL

I just receved my motogadget M-Lock   [popcorn]


After playing whit the thing I came to a conclusion

......usseless ...... [bang]

The main reason to have it was ...no more key ....

I didin't though about the stering lock!!!! [roll]

It's just an additional lock...   altough, if you forget the key on the bike
.....like I ussually do from time to time... nobody can start the bike ...
the M-lock is essentially a 200$ switch.....  I cout have bougth a toggle swicth for 2$ and  I would have the same result

Much cleaner then a tacky ass toggle switch, and a steering lock is useless against theft.

After playing whit the thing for a couple of days... I change my opinion on it ..

Yes , it's mucth cleaner ... the only thing is that I park my bike on the  street  when I go to work
 
I would really like to get rid of the steering lock ...   options ?

I dont have a garage...   and sometimes I park it on the street.  That why I need a sterring lock

At this point I think I'll put the sterring lock on the bike but I wont wire it ....
I' ll use it only as a regular lock  and I'll wire the M-lock somewere on the bike

Easiest way is to pick it up and put it in a truck, but this works as well. Those locks are useless.

ive been using my immobilizer and a toggle (removed the key switch and steering lock when I swapped triples.) for a few years now. I park outside "downtown".

Ive heard far more stories of guys coming out with screwdrivers stuck in their ignition or recovered but totaled due to a snapped steering lock then I have of thefts being prevented by a steering lock. even including instances where the steering lock had them try and push the bike then give up or drop it. It just isnt that much of a deterrent.


no key means the meth head wont know where to start hot wiring your bike at.

I'm running the M-lock on my cafe. Haven't had any issues with it at all. And the look on people's face when they can't find where the key goes is priceless.
Nice and clean look in front of the tank.

Yes it started life as a 99 St2.
All credit goes to Shed X , a small Business In Dural, Sydney.
They have been a radical Ducati dealer and turning out some very nice bikes. You can find them on Facebook and the internet.
