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.
• Position and restrain the motorcycle so it remains
upright on the truck or trailer. If the motorcycle
leans to one side, gasoline may leak from the fuel
tank and result in a fire hazard or damage to the fin-
ish.
• Do not restrain the motorcycle using the handlebars.
• Place tiedown straps around the fork tubes above
the lower triple clamp. Place tiedowns as wide apart
as possible on the truck or trailer bed for best stabil-
ity.
To lower triple clamp
(one tiedown each side)
To swing arm
(one tiedown each side)
