Question:

Does a hot brake disc set off an alarmed motorcycle disc lock?

I use an alarmed Xena disc lock on my ZX-10R and after using it the alarm will trigger without being disturbed. The mechanism is armed be a magnet from what I can tell. I am guessing it is triggered from heat as it only happens right after a ride and seems to work properly after it has sat for awhile. Anyone have any experience with this?
