TRANSPORTING, ELEVATING, AND SECURING THE MOTORCYCLE

General Guidelines
WARNING
Care should be taken to be sure the motorcycle will not tip or fall while elevated. Severe personal injury or
death could occur if the motorcycle tips or falls.
If you must transport the motorcycle or secure it to a lift table:
• Use a truck, trailer, or lift table designed or equipped properly for motorcycles. Review truck, trailer or lift
manufacturer's recommendations.
• Do not tow the motorcycle with another vehicle, as towing will impair the motorcycle's steering and handling,
which can cause a loss of control.
• Position and restrain the motorcycle so it remains upright on the truck, trailer, or lift table as gasoline may leak
out of the fuel tank vent if the motorcycle is transported at extreme angles. Gasoline is a fire hazard and it can
also damage the motorcycle's finish.
• Do not restrain the motorcycle using the handlebars. Place soft tiedown straps around lower triple clamp and
fork tube, clear of any cables, wire harness, or other parts.
• Secure the rear of the motorcycle with tiedowns around the swingarm, being careful to avoid brake lines,
exhaust, drive belt, or drive belt guards.
• The motorcycle can be elevated by placing a stable, flat platform jack or lift mechanism on a firm flat surface and
lifting under the engine crankcase. The platform should be a minimum 12 inches square, and clear of any
components under the motorcycle. DO NOT attempt to lift the motorcycle without properly securing it with
straps.
