The ABUS 10KS140 140cm Motorcycle Security Chain Black is a heavy-duty 10mm chain designed to be paired with a suitable padlock when securing a motorcycle to a fixed object. The 140cm length balances useful reach with a more manageable weight for storage or transport.

ABUS makes the chain from special hardened steel and covers it with a fabric sleeve to help reduce direct contact with paintwork and chrome. This is the chain only, giving you the flexibility to choose a padlock that suits your security setup.

Using the chain with a motorcycle

Route the chain through a strong part of the motorcycle and around a secure ground or wall anchor where possible. Keep the chain clear of hot exhaust components, brake lines, wiring and moving parts. Avoid leaving it resting on the ground, as this can give an attacker a firm surface against which to work.

The sleeve reduces direct metal-to-paint contact, but it cannot guarantee against marks. Check that the sleeve and motorcycle surfaces are clean before fitting, particularly where road grit may be present.

Choosing between the 140cm and 170cm versions

The 140cm version is lighter and more compact than the 170cm model, making it the practical option when the anchor point is close to the motorcycle. Choose the 170cm version when additional reach is needed. Measure the intended locking route rather than relying only on the straight-line distance, allowing enough length to pass around both the motorcycle and anchor.

Questions and answers

Is this a complete chain lock?
No. It is a separate security chain and requires a compatible padlock.

Can it be used for a motorcycle?
Yes. ABUS lists the 10KS family for securing motorcycles and other valuable outdoor equipment when combined with an appropriate lock.

Does it have a security rating?
ABUS describes the 10KS as a high-security chain and lists it for applications with particular insurer requirements, but acceptance depends on the padlock, anchor, installation and your individual policy. Check the complete setup with your insurer if a specific approval is required.
