How do motorcycle disk locks work?

Motorcycle disk locks are small but sturdy locks that attached to your motorcycle’s disk brakes rotor. The U-shaped lock will slip over the disk and the pin will be inserted into a rotor vent hole and locked into place. The lock will prevent the wheel from turning by hitting the brake caliper or wheel forks. But, will a disk lock really keep your bike from being stolen?
 
No type of motorcycle lock or theft prevention system is a 100% guarantee that your bike will never be stolen. Thieves are smart and tricky. If they really want your bike and they have the resources to snatch it, they will find a way, even if it has a motorcycle lock. But, there are things you can do to make it more difficult, especially for the opportunistic thief who’s looking for an easy score.
