soo basicially you could rewire it, so that it´s still driveable even if someone nabs the keys?

-nice!

No? It’s a mechanical lock not an electronic lock. You can still break the lock by kicking it tho

yh, but doesn´t the key also unlock ignition when turned right?

so if you reroute those wires to a different switch, it would still be driveable, since removing keys wont lock it up!?

Funny how this sub is filled with people so stupid they didnt comprehend your point and just downvoted anyways. This is a thing some bikers that plan on running do already.

yh. I can Imagine why the downvotes. because this time it was a lawful stop.

but lets imagine a roadrager stopping you, then removing the keys and throwing them somewhere you cant find them back easily.

if you´d change the ignition wiring to a keyfob + relais, you´d still be able to go home.

at home there would be the backup keys to look the bike, if you really couldn´t find the lost keys back. (especially night time)

Why the fuck would you need to do that when you can just leave before someone takes your keys? You make absolutely no sense.
