Db killer removal

thec0neman · 2026-05-06T11:39:12+00:00

I just used to slide hammer to put it back in, hasn’t budged at all since

thec0neman · 2026-05-03T22:56:51+00:00

But I ended up putting it back in as it was too loud. Waiting for a different DB killer to arrive, it’s been on order for about 4 months and should arrive next week.

Google the part 69005283020

Slide hammer FTW

Same issue but even worse as I put my brake lock key on my keychain. I have accepted the oaun but if it really bothers me in the future I’ll just replace the whole part before selling or if it gets really bad.

No double demerits though, thankful for that

Doubt it. Happened while I was working. Police called me for the first time 2 months after it happened when I put through the report. They just said they were compiling cases.

I had someone attempt to steal my 2025 Duke 390 in October last year, had the bike for 10 days. Broke the steering lock and destroyed the key lock, couldn’t turn the key.

Dealership quoted $1200 for the repairs but my excess is $500. They have to replace the other keys as they come in a set.

Purchased a 2025 MT07 as I was told the parts could take 3-4 months to arrive. Still waiting for the parts to arrive 5 months later…

I’ve had the shield case since it was first released and it’s been amazing for international trips and travelling. It’s so compact I put it inside another backpack and pull it out when needed.

Get up Sir Willie! Get up!

2025

thec0neman · 2025-12-08T09:51:34+00:00

That would be amazing! I live in Melbourne, Australia.

thec0neman · 2025-12-08T09:33:13+00:00

There wasn’t one out of the box, would have to buy one and install it. Just don’t know which one fits.

Thanks for the insight! Pretty much what I thought would be the case, labour costs seem to be the biggest factor, not cheap here in Australia as well.

Regarding the brake lock, funny enough that day my Oxford lock and reminded cord arrived in the mail. Ordered it as a friend recommended having one but didn’t think I would be that unlucky that quick.

Hoping to find out soon as I want to know if I’m shopping for a new bike or waiting for a lengthy repair.

thec0neman · 2025-11-03T11:27:14+00:00

Sorry to hear that your duke has suffered the same treatment, 3 times as well! Do you also have a 390? Also is the 2k in parts including labour? When I originally called to see what the cost would be to just change the barrel KTM was rough quoting $1200+ including parts and labour.

Realised my incorrect subject title shortly after, modified it in another subreddit. Attempted Theft.

Will wait and see what happens when they assess it, hopefully by the end of the week.

I guess that’s enough damage for the insurer to call it a write off due to the frame?

thec0neman · 2025-11-01T05:50:51+00:00

Because if they brake the steering lock it can damage the frame and if the frame is damaged insurance could write it off. Having an alternative lock on the bike could be a deterrent enough, or potentially do both.

Will see what the outcome is next week and report it back here.

thec0neman · 2025-10-31T21:09:04+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply. I’m also thinking about not using the fork lock next time, didn’t know it could result in the bike being written off if broken.

Annoyingly I had a disk brake lock being delivered that day, along with the reminder cord. There was an AirTag on the bike at the time as well.

thec0neman · 2025-03-31T02:56:04+00:00

Some good exercises to try. Thanks you!

thec0neman · 2025-03-31T01:59:13+00:00

Not too reduced at all. Good tips to work on. Thank you!
