Transporting the Motorcycle 1

Be sure to observe following instruc-
tions before transporting the motorcy-

cle in another vehicle.
 Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle. 3
 Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the “OFF” position
and that there are no fuel leaks. 4
 Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre- 5
vent movement.
 Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmis- 6
sion).
 Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are 7
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or up-

for example, to rubber-mounted
handlebars or turn signals, or parts 9
that could break). Choose the lo-
cation for the straps carefully so
the straps will not rub against 10
painted surfaces during transport.
 The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie- 11
downs, if possible, so that the mo-
torcycle will not bounce excessive-
ly during transport. 12
