:idea: Loose leaf paper reinforcements. Stick one over the ignition lock every time you lock your bike.

I am not sure I understand your post, you know the ignition is locked because the key is out, that's the only time it comes out I thought.

I'm not referring to locking the ignition. I'm referring to locking your bike to a a tree or a pole or using a disk lock through the wheel spokes. I put a little sticky loose leaf reinforcement over the doohickey that prevents access to the ignition.

I use the cable reminder with my disc brake lock. It is bright yellow and it attaches from the brake lock to my handlebar.

It's funny I missed that because I did forget to remove a disk lock on a different bike years ago,
but as soon as I got off the floor I remembered it .
I like your idea.

There's no holes in the brake disc, so how do you use a disc lock? :?:

I use the kill switch (off position)to remind myself about the cable
lock on the front wheel.

Disk Locks reminders

Many bikers will use a small round magnet on the ignition lock to
remind them that they have a disk brake lock. I'm not even
sure if the magnet will stick to the Burgman ignition lock .

In any case, a reminder is useful to prevent a nasty crash.

This is the type of lock I got:

Disc Lock Reminder:

It fits in the gap of the front disc brake. I slip the yellow/orange cable reminder in the lock on one end and the other end goes on the handlebar.

The lock I use is not specifically a disc lock, it's a u-shaped Kryptonite lock that is large enough to fit over the tire and between the spokes.

Using the kill switch as a reminder wouldn't work for me because I always use it when I shut down.
