After having two 636's stolen, I am doing everything I can to confuse would-be thieves from targeting my bike.

Take a look and thanks to Subw00er from this forum for the awesome stickers. I might have a few other ideas up my sleeve.

Cool! They came out great! Thanks for the props.

Check your local dealers and see if they do the Lojack install. I am thinking of having one put in mine, since it is only $700 at my local Yamaha dealer, and my bike spends most of its time in my garage.

Lojack is kind of strange to me because would I REALLY want my bike back after someone rips it off and does God knows what to it? It would never feel the same to me. I would always be paranoid about gremlins like clipped wires or punctured hoses and such. Not really worth it. Just keep the stupid bike and I'll get a brand new one.

It may confuse the theives, but it may make it even more desirable with the Ninja stickers on it. Their dumba$$es may think its a special edition or something and think it has some more value.

I kind of like the stickers, very nice. I guess at least we have the Ninja engine (of the ZX9R) in our bikes, along with the Ninja tail etc so its not far off lol.

It looks so nice..

Yes, you probably would if for no other reason than to sell it. Plus it will lead authorities to the thief, helping protect others.

My local Yami dealer sold a lojack, and the guys bike got stolen in Austin. Lead to a bike theft ring and recovered over a dozen bikes I think.

was never into vehicles with an identity crisis...
Reminds me of the old Toyota 1.8 from the 80's with Audi logos on the grills

That was really confusing...

undoubtedly!!!

Here's how I disguised my blue 06. It almost looks like a Hardley now...









Who'd steal this piece of ...

hehehe

The stickers turned out nice. Simply adding the Ninja sticker probably made the bike worth about $1000 more...so I would buy some big chains now to keep it locked up.

I was always paranoid my 636 would be stolen...and now I'm paranoid my z will be stolen.

Keep a close eye on it!

I could be wrong but isnt a zx9 899cc? or is it the same engine with a different bore?

Ride through bugs and mud puddles, don't wash, repeat as needed.

It's the bikes are like girls theory...no one wants one that's been ridden hard and put away dirty and caked with crud. (Freshly & frequently oiled and cleaned chain beingthe exception)

remove the z1000 and change it to Z250
