November 10, 20214 yr Just read this thread about a girls loosing her new motorbike Thinking to hear your experiences with RF keys. The technology here is simple, a radio frequency booster (129 baht on Lazada) is used to expand the range on a vehicle’s RFID reader, which means that the motorcycle can read the key’s unique code from a much farther distance than before. If you park your vehicle close to your keys protect your wireless keys with a simple “EMP pouch” or “Faraday bag”. For home made protection, put your keys in a thick metal box.

November 11, 20214 yr Popular Post My Honda RF keys has a switch off function where you can turn off the keys and even if you're near the bike, it can't start and be ridden off unless you press the button to turn the key back on again, useful for when you're at a cafe or camping near the bike unfortunately later models seem to have done away with this button
November 11, 20214 yr Pouches, cages, switches - none of these prevent the van drawing up, two men hopping out, lift bike into van, speed off. For larger bikes, you will need 2 stronger men.

I have an Aerox with keyless system. I've put the system to the test and found that the bike will not respond if the fob is more than 2 meters away. So I just make sure that the steering lock is engaged and walk away. I've not turned off the fob in 2 years.

They could still cart one away on a pick up of course, so sensible precautions should still be taken.

November 13, 20214 yr The bike in question has a key start .. Easy to lift the bike and bung it on the back of a pick up. Easy to replace the lock and wizz the bike up to nakhon nowhere, with a fake plate.
