Xena XX14 304 Stainless Steel Motorcycle Disc Lock Alarm

This is an awesome little lock. And I use the term "little" lightly. I got this before going to the MotoGP race at Austin this past year for extra bike security. It has a good weight to it and locks solidly. The alarm isn't to terribly loud, maybe my battery got old from sitting in the package before I got it but I'm sure it will deter thiefs after hearing it. Definitely better than my little Kryptonite disc lock (That I now use on my rear disc). It is actually very sensitive, I was putting the cover on my bike and it went off. So if you keep a cover on your bike and someone jostles your bike around to take the cover off I'm sure it'll set it off. I also dropped it on concrete from about 5 feet up when I was bringing a bunch of stuff into my apartment once and it only got a light scratch on it. I highly recommend this or any of the alarmed XENA disc locks. If you keep your bike outside combine this with another disc lock, a chain and a cover and you'll be all set for security.

After reading various web reviews of this product I was assuming that I would have to dismantle it to put in the battery when it arrived. So, when the lock arrive I was angry... very angry because the battery was not in the packaging. Ooops, the newer models come with the battery already installed in the lock.Anyway, I had also been reading again, from various web reviews, that the process is somewhat complicated and tricky to replace the battery. So, even though the battery had already been installed at the factory I opened up the unit pulled the battery out and put it back in and sealed the lock. Elapsed time: 4 minutes. At least with the newer locks, if you can tie your shoes you can easily replace the battery after about 8 months as stated in the accompanying instructions. It appears that the battery is always operating as the optics keep looking for your brake disc which causes the unit to arm. So even if you use the lock infrequently the battery should still probably be replace after 8 months.Tried the lock on my Kawasaki Sport Touring bike. Shook the bike slightly... yep, the alarm is LOUD! My bike is a little safer now.The lock is very solid and heavy. So it has a second unadvertised use. If you forget to put the lock on your bike and you look out of the window and see some nut trying to steal your bike pick up the lock and throw it at him. Once he regains consciousness, if he does, that will be a reformed motorcycle thief.

The lock construction isn't well thought-out - it arms randomly, and will do so while fully unlocked. It also has a habit of going off while it's in the process of being locked followed by an additional sounding after the locking is complete. I've had no reports of nuisance alarms, and it seems to settle down after that one false alarm.

Just arrived yesterday, and I expected a much smaller and dinkier piece, so I was in for a surprie when I opened the mailer to see this monster. It's big. It's heavy. Nobody is cutting it off with anything short of a blowtorch. Is it sensitive? Sure...it's VERY sensitive, but that's what I got it for. I put a cup of coffee on the table about a foot from it and it went off. I like that. Ok, so when you hear all the complaining about this thing screaming, just know they are only half correct. Why half? Because it does scream after the battery is installed, and it does scream if you bump it, but that scraming only lasts for 10 seconds before it resets and goes quiet. It's not going to just go on screaming all night or until the battery dies, waking up your entire block. However, it does not reset so long at it detects any movement, in which case it continues its 120db screech indefinitely. How loud is it? Is it really as loud as all that? YES. Keep it balled up in your nand if it goes off when not locked onto your brake disc, because you can muffle it quite a bit that way (impossible to do this once it's on the disc, due to the angle, so don't worry a thief can simply put a hand over it and shut it up). Did I mention that it's big? Because it IS. Put it in a sock and you'd stand a fair chance against a hungry bear if one jumped out at you as you were securing your bike for the night. Would I get the regular, non alarmed version of a brake disc? Never. Why? Because if you do get one, the day WILL come where you ride off with it still clamped onto your motorcycle, and you'll break all sorts of things. The alarm versions scream at you the minute you grab your handlebars, and youll never have to worry about riding off with one still attached. Trust me, as much as you think you won't forget you put it on the night before...you WILL. So, get the alarm version.This thing blends right in to your wheel, so anybody thinking they're going to take your bike is in for a rude awakening once this thing activates. Only the most dedicated will bother with your machine with something like this installed.

WARNING! It's too SENSITIVE. Don't buy this lock for it's alarm capabilities. I live in San Francisco and it's constantly going off. It's way too SENSITIVE and extremely LOUD. Even positioned in the 6 o'clock position, it's lowest sensitivity setting, it goes off constantly. If you have a cover on your motorcycle and the wind is making it flutter, that's enough to set it off. If a car drives by it'll go off. If there's an earthquake, it'll definitely go off. Don't waste your money.

Excelente candado,Suena muy fuerte, aturde los oídos si estás cerca de el. No se activa si te subes a la moto, sólo si tocas el candado o giras las llantas con el candado puesto, lo que reduce las falsas alarmasLo recomiendo mucho, se siente muy sólido y a diferencia de los candados más baratos tiene un pin de 14 mm que se ve muy difícil de cortar y puedes llevar el candado cerrado gracias a su sensor infrarrojo, lo que hace que no se Active al llevarlo en la mochila o en la moto mientras manejas.Me gustó mucho, les recomiendo este candado.

Funcionó bien los primeros dos meses, posterior a ese tiempo el candado se quedó "ensamblado" es decir aún quitando el seguro con la llave se queda encendida la alarma sonora, no importa si esté cerrado o abierto, lo cual es un problema. Tendré que quitarle la batería para que no esté siempre activa la alarma pero pues con eso pierde una de las características atractivas por el cual lo adquirí. No recomendado dado mi caso particular.

Top quality lock. Gives you enough time to engage the lock. Alram is very loud.

Après deux semaines la serrure bloque donc j’ai testé , scie à main et un coup de marteau,,, vraiment nul

Arms it's self and alarms while in the panniers. Even just picking it up makes it arm itself. (yes I've cleaned the lens and mirror) Just put a new battery in at 5 months old. If it doesn't improve it's going back. My previous yellow disk lock by xena was great, this is very disappointing.Edit:It's now behaving itself with the new battery. So far so good.Edit again:Sent it back, I tried but it's no good.
