Does anyone have a security system installed or use a lock of some kind?

A Locked Garage Door.

I've got the Onguard rotor lock. Easy to put on, easy to take off and it fits under the seat. It also has an orange reminder cable that comes from the lock to the handlebar so I don't forget that the lock is on and screw up my caliper. The key has a light in it so I can see the keyhole in the dark. I paid $37.99 for it at my local bike shop.

I also use a wheel lock. It provides that little extra sense of security.

I park in the garage but if I'm going somewhere I don't like I have a kryptonite disc lock, just don't try to ride off with it still attached!!!

I use the Scorpio alarm (SR-i600) with the perimeter sensor and back up battery. Documentation states 1/2 mile two way communication between the remote and the bike alarm but that depends on what is between you and the bike.

It also has a shock and tilt sensor. I've tested the shock, tilt, ignition, battery backup, and perimeter sensor and they work well. The shock sensor is not sensitive enough for me but the tilt sensor works really well. The perimeter sensor is pretty sensitive to movement around the bike. Ignition triggers the alarm if the alarm is not turned off before starting the bike.

Installation was easy. Would have been easier if I had got the wiring harness. The hardest part for me was identifying the wires (due to my color blindness) (ha, ha).

Even with this alarm, I always try to park in a well lite and busy area. Only problem with the busy area part is that I have my perimeter sensor set fairly high and when people walk by the alarm, it warns them (beeps but does not trigger full alarm if they keep moving away). Of course, I do have the option to arm the alarm without the perimeter sensor being active. This way, the shock, tilt, ignition & battery backup is still active.

The remote I got with the system must be plugged in to recharge. I plan on getting a battery operated remote as a spare.

Sorry for the long response, but security is important and I hope this helps.

So far I just make sure the handlebars are in the locked position when I am at a store or something. At home over night I have it locked in a shed which want keep a thief out. But the noise they will have to make to get to it will cause my dog to go crazy causing me to go investigate. No I want be alone I will have a friend about 4' tall that cares alot of little buddies that will inflict alot of pain.

Who would want to steal a Yamaha? Answer: Same person who saw you leave it. I activate Scorpio, park in a discreet location, often use an alarmed disc lock also. At home, it sleeps in a closed garage. At work, I park in an area (custodial) where there are often personnel in vicinity.
