Securing motorcycle
for transportation
Make sure that all components
that might come into contact
with straps used to secure the
motorcycle are adequately pro-
tected against scratching. Use
adhesive tape or soft cloths, for
example, for this purpose.
Remove screws 1 and remove
the cover panel of the bottom
fork bridge.
When being lifted on to
a stand, the vehicle can
topple and fall on its side.
Secure the vehicle to prevent
it toppling, preferably with the
assistance of a second person.
Push the motorcycle onto the
transportation flat and hold it in
position: do not place it on the
side stand.
Risk of damaging compon-
ents.
Take care not to trap
components such as brake lines
or wires.
At the front, loop a strap over
the bottom fork bridge on each
side.
