A motorcycle steering lock is a security feature that immobilizes the front fork by locking it to the frame or handlebars, preventing the rider from steering the bike. When engaged, the lock typically involves inserting a key into a mechanism that secures the handlebars in a turned position, making it difficult for a thief to roll or ride the motorcycle away. To unlock, the key is turned to release the mechanism, allowing normal steering. This device serves as a deterrent against theft but should be used in conjunction with other security measures for effective protection.
Besides the steering lock the most common are disc brake locks and/or chains.
