i'd totally forget. but the xena, like some others, makes a noise if you move the bike that not only deters thiefs but also says "hey j@ckass, you might want to remove me"
The Xena also let's out an earsplitting noise which says to the people around you "hey, here is a guy trying to steal a motorbike!" every time you remove it from the bike. It is just not physically possible to use the key before the lock goes crazy.

Gladly the noise is signifigantly reduced by just covering the lock opening with your hand. Which is not really a good thing as all the thief has to do is stick a piece of chewing gum to the lock while lifting the bike to a van.

I'd forget the disc locks and get a proper piece of hardened chain to attach the bike to something solid with. And if you want noise, you can get the cheapo Chinese alarms for well under 50 eur.

Edit. Forgot to mention that the Xena also goes crazy in damp weather and rain. Which might piss off your neighbours on the long run.
