Bad luck mate. I'm sure everyone will keep their eyes pealed for your missing bike.
I hope it turns up, and in one piece... |

I feel for you mate, I had 2 bikes stolen from just down the road in Chatham when I lived there. 1 was a KMX 200, even saw the w****r riding off with it ( it was locked & I had only run to the cash point, found a copper in 5mins thinking he would put the word out only to be told that the radio's were down because they are decorating at HQ. Then he proceeds to tell me that several bikes had been taken from the same car park just the same week.2nd was a DR600 from outside my house. So it must still be hot spot in that area years later.

Recovered
Update - Bike has been recovered.
*** Please don't drag the rider off the bike and beat him senseless. *** Bike recovered from a Housing Association vacant car garage where there was evidence it had been used as a chop shop. Starting ignition system beaten with a large implement to destroy the plastic and cast iron locking mechanism, key rollers area completely missing. Tank badly scratched where they obviously attacked the ignition The seat forced up from the front, and rear now unable to open with the key Electric's twisted until breaking and left in a tangled mess near the battery, presumably to disable the alarm (battery still connected). Left side of plastic air box broken, whilst trying to jimmy the seat lock. Front indicator cheek plate ripped off, damaging headlight surround Front indicators disconnected. Rear indicators neatly removed - if you've brought these recently off the net.... Has been pushed through mud, but not ridden off road Must have fallen over on drivers side, hand guard damaged. Right Pannier ripped off (with locking mechanism and ripped off plate attached to bike. Pannier open without damage to lock in garage. Left pannier (with geotag) missing altogether This may well turn up. Insurance company haven't retained the recording of the original theft that I reported to them on Sunday morning, and reporting the recovery had them somewhat bemused as they were reporting the theft at the same time . Short Story - Scum not caught, but clearly the police have an informant. CSI coming to do the necessary tonight, and there are good prints to be seen. *** Please don't beat rider senseless *** |

If the loom is as bad as you make out and the bodywork is damaged then I don't think that you want it back. It's a new bike get your insurance to pay for a new one. That lot will cost a lot to put right! Hope you can get this resolved and the plod get the thiefs. Steve

I seriously don't care how the bike gets returned to its working state.
I want a bike back: Driving a car is killing me, 40 miles takes 1 & 1/2 hours + and can you believe it cars have to PAY for parking... A new loom, (Don't know what the deal with the tank is) Panniers, Hand guard, Cheek plate, Ignition (I have all the keys), Seat lock, Air box, Indicators, and Headlight surround and I am done. With stolen bikes, insurance companies offer you a settlement which is never going to get a replacement bike, so you are either out of pocket, or buy a cheaper one and end up with other peoples issues. On a repair, its straight cut, they pay to fix. Plus I retain my Tool tube with 1l fuel cannister, 2 finger levers, New TKC80 tyres, GPS mount, tool kit. Discretely hiding a GPS tracker on my vehicles from now on. What is interesting is that when you're faced with a stolen bike, you consider what to replace the bike with, honestly - its another Tenere The alternatives were: Husaberg FE 449 or Tiger 800XC. one bike either side of the Tenere. |

It seems now the only viable options for a bike thief is to spend a fair amount of cash getting the ECU re-written and also disguising the original identity - which seems fairly pointless on risk/return for what is a relatively low value bike. Broken to repair a crashed or blown bike, or the non-identifiable parts on eBay would be my guess where stolen XTs end up. Other machines end up on race tracks etc. but on the whole it seems immobilisers seem to have killed off "joy-riding" and only the high value bikes or commonly crashed are targets. ...or have I got that wrong?
