Well, it happened again. About 5y ago I had my pristine 900RR stolen from me. It was only 1 week after a custom paint job, full exhaust, sprocket's, jetkit, itnition advancer and K&N were installed. 2 years later my bike was found.
Well, it seems like someone decided they liked my R6 a little too much. Thing is I installed a hidden cutoff switch that they couldn't find and disable. They had enough tools to take the seat and tank off...to bash my ignition switch to hell and then try to push start the bike (there were scuff marks on the new tires). They gave up after a while (dropped the bike once) and simply put her in the last parking spot next to the exit of my appartment complex.
I didnt' even notice her missing :oops: !!! I was leaving for work and noticed another R6 parked in the parking lot that looked like mine...then...IT IS MINE!!! WTF. Well, seems like they managed to f-up some wireing too cause I have some funny problems now.
Moral of the story...a simple $2.95 switch from Pep-Boys hidden in the right spot is a pretty damn good theft deturrent.
