Transporting The Motorcycle

If you must transport the motorcycle, use a truck or
trailer. Do not tow the motorcycle with another
vehicle, as towing will impair the motorcycle's
steering and handling, which can cause loss of
control.
• Position and restrain the motorcycle so it remains
upright on the truck or trailer, as gasoline may
leak out of the fuel tank if the motorcycle leans to
one side. Gasoline is a fire hazard and it can also
damage the motorcycle's finish.
• Do not restrain the motorcycle using the
handlebars. In front, hook the tiedowns in the
loop provided in the bottom of the frame. Place
tie-downs as wide apart as possible on the truck
or trailer bed for best stability. Secure the
motorcycle as shown at right.
