Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instructions
before transporting the motorcycle in an-
other vehicle.
•
Remove all loose items from the motor-
cycle.
•
Check that the fuel cock (if tted) is in
the "
" position and that there are no
fuel leaks.
•
Point the front wheel in the right direc-
tion and push the motorcycle up onto
the trailer's rail or the atbed rail of a
truck and block it to stop it from shift-
ing.
•
Shift the transmission in gear (for mod-
els with a manual transmission).
•
Secure the motorcycle with tie-downs
or suitable straps that are attached
to solid parts of the motorcycle, such
as the frame or upper front fork triple
clamp (and not, for example, to rub-
ber-mounted handlebars or turn sig-
nals, or parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully so
the straps will not rub against painted
surfaces during transport.
•
The suspension should be compressed
somewhat by the tie-downs, if possible,
so that the motorcycle will not bounce
excessively during transport.
