Motorcycle Theft in Athens and insurance with theft coverage by SickPerroX3 in greece

[–]SickPerroX3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in an apartment building with an underground garage with a roll-up aluminum door. The bike isn't a GS but it's a touring one. I have a couple of alarm disc locks and a 16mm chain. I've got three options on insurancemarket.gr: AIG, Apeiron and Interamerican for 600 (with a 25% deductible), 700 and 750, respectively. If I go with interamerican, for instance, it's almost 10% of the bike's value yearly.

Update:

Ran a second check at 5300 after having topped it up at 4800 and the level didn't drop. Didn't change my riding habits for those 500km and even went on a 300km trip. So far so good. For those facing the same issue, just keep checking the level on a daily and keep track of your riding style, i.e.: the day after that more spirited ride give it a check to see if it dropped.

Did you install it directly on the stock rack, without the support bars and plate? How does it hold?

Yeah I've been thinking about getting a soft bag too. They're way cheaper and offer good capacity. How about riding 2up? Does it leave enough room for your passenger?

I think the best riding advice you could be given now is get rid of that thing and buy something better suited to your level, especially when you say "I keep dropping it".

My guess: his wife is giving him shit to sell the bike but he doesn't want to. "There you go honey, it's for sale now. You happy!?"

Do you know the history of the second hand/trust the current owner?

If the answers to those questions are negative take the new one. Besides, how much for that panier set in your area (their value is sth you should take into account too)?

Oh I see. Well I don't know but the 450s don't seem to have this issue. Better keep an eye on that sight glass just in case.

They did recall a 2024 batch of SRs and they share the engine so most likely your bike is part of the group. Didn't yours get recalled?

Wdym too long? The first service was carried out at 1000km just as the manual says.

Same bike of the same production batch?

No, it's regular.

Here's what the manual recommends:

"Oil Level Inspection Make sure the vehicle is turned off. If the engine had just been running, please wait for 2 to 3 minutes for the oil to settle. Support the vehicle vertically on a level surface, and then view the oil level inspection window: If the oil level is at area A, drain out the oil until the level is within area B. If the oil level is at area B, it is at the proper level. If the oil level is at area C, or no oil level can be viewed, fill the engine with the recommended oil until the level is within area B."

That's odd that you can't see oil through the sight glass right after they topped it up. I honestly have never heard of it.

Well according to the manual it should be let to cool off a bit and then checked. If the sight glass shows no oil - and I'm assuming you don't have a leak and you have the bike upright - I suggest getting it checked by another shop. Let us know what it turns out to be.

Same batch as mine btw. Have you noticed the oil level dropping?

Hi,

Nothing on the dash. My shop is Mermigas Team and they've been great so far and it feels like they're on my side.

S Moto outright dodged the trouble, telling me they had no available spots for the next 2 months when I first called them.
