I actually have a really simple emergency bypass kit - have privately messaged several guys (different occasions) whose Speed Triples left them stranded (on the 1050 Series, the harness was clamped at the headstock and would ultimately break the conductor from the strain)
It requires no more than a paper clip and will start your bike using the regular starter button. Hence why I don't put out that info in the public domain! :0
Actually shockingly, when studying a modern Triumph Twin schematic for a KeyLess kit, I discovered that I could (not that I would!) steal one of those in less than 30 secs without even having to gain access under the seat etc. Nothing to remove or unbolt. That one involves a pre-made jumper that I would connect to a very easily accessible part of those models in seconds, Then flick the starter and be off.
I'm not trying to be egotistical here in professing knowledge I'm not willing to share - just demonstrating that bikes are incredibly easy theft targets - some more easy than others!
I had two friend have bikes (both Triumphs) stolen on road trips last year - one from Norway whose bike was stolen while on a round-Europe tour (from Hotel Parking lot in Prague)
That was immediately before a road trip of my own which made me really paranoid! So I removed my Key-Switch completely (Would-be-thief scratches head and thinks "Where do I jam my screw-driver?")
And bought a Xena Disc Lock/Alarm. Not only is that thing a serious physical lock, it absolutely SCREAMS, not like some wimpy car alarm.
So a little extra immobilizing is worth considering - be that physical restraints or electrical.
At the end of the day, if they want your bike, it goes in the back of a van, regardless of what you do. But you can at least offer some discouragement that makes them take the next one.
I digressed a bit from the original theme, other than to impress - it's best just to not share hot-wire tricks publicly.
Let's not give the bastards any help!
