Which action completes security after dismounting?

Which action completes security after dismounting?

• A. Remove the ignition key, and engage fork lock (or other security devices).
• B. Activate the fork lock only.
• C. Remove the ignition key only.
• D. Turn the fuel valve OFF.

Answer: (A)

The idea is to immobilize and deter theft as soon as you dismount. Removing the ignition key makes it impossible to start the engine, and engaging the fork lock locks the front wheel so the bike can’t be steered away. This combination creates a clear barrier to both starting the bike and riding off, which is the most effective way to secure it. Adding other security devices, like a chain or disc lock, further strengthens protection. Turning the fork lock alone won’t stop someone who can still access the ignition, and removing the key alone doesn’t prevent moving the bike if other security measures aren’t in place. Turning the fuel valve off isn’t a reliable security measure and doesn’t prevent theft or movement in many situations.
