Solid advice but just keep insurance on your bikes and if it get stolen you get it paid off and if its paid off you get a hella down payment for the new one.
I like all of those options. I always go toward a layered approach. A few of these in combination make for better security. That and a bright light (when available) make for good security. Maybe something to consider for SXS use, is the old Club steering wheel lock in combination with some of the options you listed.👍🏼
Thanks for your input, Dezfan. I agree that multiple options used together is a safer option. I also try and keep it some though because I've found the harder or more tools someone needs to keep with them for this type of thing, the quicker they are to simply get lazy and do none of it.
A tip for lazy proofing the disc brake lock is attaching a mock key to the cable that goes in the ignition to keep you from throwing the key in and taking off without a thought.
I pull mine in front of my cars in the garage and snug my vehicle up to it . If they can lift it and pack it over a jeep they can have it . Great video.
Great video we work hard for our money and our ATV’S ,SXS aren’t cheap, it’s one of reasons I got rid of my open Trailer for and enclose one to cut down on the possibility of them being stolen plus I have full coverage insurance on them.
Thanks for the compliment! I like the enclosed trailer idea for security. The biggest problem I have with enclosed trailers is storing it when your not using the massive thing 😆. They are awesome for travels though!
It's not a lock, but I have a GPS tracker hidden under a panel in my sXs. Unless it is inside a trailer or under a metal roof the cops won't have any trouble following the trail to find it again. It saves you from having to shoot someone.
Had to leave a like and comment....I have pitbulls that bark at outside noices but I live in the middle of nowhere lol and I've been sleeping bad since I got it. Lol but I just bought all these except for the disk brake lock ....seems dumb lol plus I'm lazy lol my wheeler has a safety device built on it but ....my family members are ruthless and dumb.
Problem with the cable is one quick snip with some bolt cutters and it’s gone. When someone stole my atv I had it strapped down and chained to my trailer. Still didn’t stop them
Harbor freight has motion detectors that u leave in garage shed and other speaker you take inside with u witch when that goes off it leads to the 1911 45 going off... O and 15$ for motion detector
Anything with a key can be overcome with a battery drill and a diamond tip bit to drill the lock out in 30-60 seconds. Just go look at all the steering wheel lock videos. Thief’s have so many easy tools now with cordless saws and drills. - Install a GPS unit is best imo.
lol also 6 is my favorite lol every time i see shady people in my area of the country ill fire a couple rounds down range just so they know, wrong house.
Just found this channel and held out hope. Guy is funny. But anyone who shows a cable as a lock method, well, a cable is cut within seconds, no matter how thick.
my atv is on my front lawn, key in the ignition, and fishing line to a bell beside my bed. under which is my 12 gauge with 2 loads of rock salt and the 3rd is a slug...
Cables are great! Only problem is putting a cheap Master Locks on them. DECENT HARD TO PICK LOCK WILL COST $50 and up! Combination Locks are a joke.. Rotating Spin Wheel locks are jokes too.. I'm no Lock Expert but I took up lock picking as a sport few years back.... Master locks that are bought at Walmart or Big Box Stores are easily pickable... An amateur can pick one open in under 10 seconds
Yea, I dont really disagree with you. That's why I think it's best to hide the lock under the machine or whever as much as possible making it harder to get to and attempt to pick. At the end of the day though, I dont personally see the point it purchasing something like a $50 lock for this type of situation. If someone really wants to steal your machine, they could just bring a decent pair of bolt cutters and cut the cable. Bottom line, all these methods are meant to help deter someone from stealing. Outside of human intervention if someone wants to steal an ATV, they can find a way. If locks and alarms did the trick, cars wouldnt get stolen every day.
OK. That is some good stuff and all but say some skumbag still manages to run off with your machine. Does anyone here use some kind of tracking device and service to always have eyes on your machines? Brief google search turns up a service called Scout.
That's a good point man. I think GPS trackers are a great option. Honestly though, it's the price that deters me. At a big upfront cost, plus a monthly service fee, I'm just not sure I'm willing to pay that. Maybe if I owned a Turbo S and my machine was worth $30,000?
And that brake thing that holds in the brake lever all u would have to do is have a 12mm wrench n crack the screw on the brake resorvor witch then releaves the pressure then brake thing useless
Yea, I agree. But with all of these methods, they are only going to do so much. Not method can truly keep someone from stealing your machine (without human intervention) if they really want it. Cables can be cut, sirens can be smashed, etc. Hence why cars still get stolen every day!
@@NavigateOffroad nope, not trying to be a jerk. There are no "dead space" moments in your videos. You don't need the music. Especially that horrible noise in this one. But hey, it's your video. Do what you want.
Thanks for the feedback. I was being serious, I couldn't tell if you were just trying to be a tool or actually provide feedback. Thank you though, I appreciate honest feedback and took that into consideration in a similar video I did after this one (tried it without the music).
You might want to consult a lawyer. The Lock Picking Lawyer will show you how weak your 'best options' are. And any lawyer will advice you to let the crackhead steal the ATV without killing them. Your spiritual adviser would say the same.
I choose to sleep on my ATV to keep it safe, I got guns, knives, throwing stars, venomous snakes and a moat.. Come at me bro... Great vid Chris!
Bahahaha! Thanks man.
A moat, that's good I like that. I need to get a moat for an extra layer of security.
Poison darts or arrows by chance?

Love #6, my personal favorite.

Great video and the ending was AWESOME.
I think I need these.
All 6 or just the first 5? 😄
Finally a decent informative video! Thanks man
The cable can double as a recovery cable if the winch cable is too short.
Great video we work hard for our money and our ATV’S ,SXS aren’t cheap, it’s one of reasons I got rid of my open Trailer for and enclose one to cut down on the possibility of them being stolen plus I have full coverage insurance on them.

Thanks man. good to know some options. I saw a video showing most cable locks can easily be cut with bolt cutters to whome this may concern

Bolt cutters and the padlock is toast. I think the first one looks the most deterrent.
Just get a pair of bolt cutters and it takes care of #5.
I usually leave my atvs without gas, gas key off and i take the brattery out, thats how they left mine behind, but i will be getting some of this
Great video, very informative, thanks!
Wait, there's no snow there?! That final security device packs a punch. :)
Hahaha! No out of nowhere the temp shot up and melted all the snow. Bring on springtime!
@@NavigateOffroad dang! We still have somewhere between 1-2 feet in the open. The struggle is real!
Informative and entertaining.
Thanks for the videos.
Keep it coming :)

Good video brother. Thanks for the tips. But where would someone buy things like these??? I like the first big clamp lock, and the brake lock.
Harbor freight has motion detectors that u leave in garage shed and other speaker you take inside with u witch when that goes off it leads to the 1911 45 going off... O and 15$ for motion detector
Nice! Thanks for another idea. I dont believe I have seen one like that before.
I like and possess a double stack 45. However, it won't work in criminal loving states like NY, CA, IL, MA, CT, OR & WA. Works well in TX and AZ.
Ever heard of a cutoff wheel lol. Good ideas tho ill uses them when i get my 4wheeler
I have the bonus one too

Great info! Thanks!!
Thanks Kurt, I hope it helped!
Revalco... no one can beat it
Number 5 I wouldn't rely on it on its own. If somebody wanted your ATV enough they would just take and break your brake handle
3 WORDS, CORDLESS ANGLE GRINDER.
Not even grinder, some heavy cable cutters will do
One of the loudest tools in the garage that will piss off neighbors if close by.
@@Ratkill9000 it will be over before they know it
I don't like the break lever lock. Disconnecting the break line or just cutting it would be quiet and quick.
I got mine back today
lol also 6 is my favorite lol every time i see shady people in my area of the country ill fire a couple rounds down range just so they know, wrong house.
This video does not apply to Arctic cat or Polaris. No one would steal them and by chance if someone did then it would be a favour.
Good one they are POS anyway
Just have a machine with a clutch. Most people these days couldn't figure out how to start it if you park it in gear. Lol
Fr tho
Just set as scooter alarm systeem on it .
It's make for small battery
I want a quad but I am sacred of getting stolen
What kind of boots are you wearing?
Good video, brighten up your rooms, looks like a dungeon
With I had any of these side by side stolen out of barn with generator and weed wacker
loosen up all the lug nuts on one wheel, they wont make it far.
Hi do any of these devices work in the cold
The last one
What area of wisconsin or minnesota are you from? curious cause im from northern wi
Now Southern WI. In a rural area outside of Madisin. 👍
a cover over your machine and a vibration sensor should be enough of a deterrant
#1 enemy now, cordless grinders......
Just found this channel and held out hope. Guy is funny. But anyone who shows a cable as a lock method, well, a cable is cut within seconds, no matter how thick.
It fits my 400
I have a 91 Yamaha. I seriously doubt anyone is going to steal the thing.
Just steal it for parts. Special of the parts are not easy to have
my atv is on my front lawn, key in the ignition, and fishing line to a bell beside my bed. under which is my 12 gauge with 2 loads of rock salt and the 3rd is a slug...
What do you think is the best solution to secure and store your atv outside on a back porch?
Big ole dirty farm-working side x side. No shelter, no poles, gonna have to be wheel clamps. So not looking forward to snow season 😝
Trained German Shepherd...lol
I like the last one.

Take the wheel off the Atv for the first one.

Excellent review !!! All you can hope for is a deterrent
Navigate Offroad remove the tires

Please stop playing that annoying music. You don't need it anyway because you talk so much.
I cant tell if you are trying to just be a jerk or actually providing constructive criticism here..?

Cable it to a tree or light pole
bolt cutter cuts cable like a hot knife through butter
And a power saw will do wonders. Everyone in these parts owns one
Tie it to your truck
Check out kryptonite locks
still easily cut with bolt cutters

alright video, super cheesy none funny jokes...
