Securing motorcycle
for transportation
Make sure that all compon-
ents that may come into con-
tact with tensioning straps are
adequately protected against
scratching. For instance, use
adhesive tape or soft cloths for
this purpose.

being lifted on to stand
Risk of damage to parts if vehicle
topples
Secure the vehicle to prevent it
toppling, preferably with the as-
sistance 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.
At the front, secure the straps
to the bottom fork bridge on
both sides and tighten the
straps.
Secure the rear tensioning
straps on both sides on the
holders for the rear footrests
and tension them.
Tighten all the straps uniformly;
the vehicle's suspension should
be compressed tightly front
and rear.
