If you use a truck or motorcycle trailer to
transport your motorcycle, we recommend that
you follow these guidelines:
• Use a loading ramp.
• Make sure the fuel valve is off.
• Secure the motorcycle in an upright position,
using motorcycle tie-down straps. Avoid
using rope, which can loosen and allow the
motorcycle to fall over.
To secure your motorcycle, brace the front wheel
against the front of the truck bed or trailer rail.
Attach the lower ends of two straps to the tie-
down hooks on your vehicle. Attach to the upper
ends of the straps to the handlebar (one on the
right side, the other on the left), close to the fork.
Check that the tie-down straps do not contact any
control cables or electrical wiring.
Tighten both straps until the front suspension is
compressed about half-way. Too much pressure
is unnecessary and could damage the fork seals.
Use another tie-down strap to keep the rear of the
motorcycle from moving.
We recommend that you do not transport your
motorcycle on its side. This can damage the
motorcycle, and leaking gasoline could be a
hazard.
