I have an Xena disc lock and I like it. It's not an alarm one, but I don't foresee a need for that.

I slip a regular old Master lock through the brake rotor. You really have to remember to take that off before you ride away though. Truth of the matter is that the KLX is small enough that two guys could pick it up and put it in a pick up if they wanted. Lock it to something if you can.

Too easy to pick up and steal... so a plain lock *without* some sort of a noise-maker, is about useless.

If you're worried about it being taken, use a cable lock, and lock it to something stationary.

$62??? for a chain with a padlock? You could go to the hardware store and make your own for about $15.

The chain you get from the hardware store might not be hardened. Hardened is more resistant to cutting. But most security measures only slow down thieves, if they really want it they'll take it.

^^^ This is true, but what thief *really* wants to steal a $3k bike? If it's EASY to take, they might opt for it, but if they have to deal with cutting a cable to take it, it's not worth their time. I say "cable" because they are a LOT harder to cut than a chain is.
