SECURING MOTORCYCLE
FOR TRANSPORTATION
Make sure that all compon-
ents that might come into
contact with straps used to
secure the motorcycle are ad-
equately protected against
scratching. Use adhesive tape
or soft cloths, for example, for
this purpose.
ATTENTION

being lifted on to stand
Risk of damage to parts if
vehicle topples
Secure the vehicle to pre-
vent 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 or centre stand.
ATTENTION
Trapping of components
Component damage
Do not trap components
such as brake lines or cable
legs.
Pass the straps on left and
right through the fork bridge
and strap the motorcycle
down.
At the rear, secure the straps
to the holders for the passen-
ger footrests on both sides
and tighten the straps.
