Honda CRF450R 2023 Owner's Manual page 75

If you use a truck or motorcycle trailer to
transport your vehicle, we recommend that you
follow these guidelines:
Use a loading ramp.
●
Relieve the fuel pressure and drain the fuel
●
from the fuel tank into an approved petrol
container.
Secure the vehicle in an upright position,
●
using motorcycle tie-down straps. Avoid
using rope, which can loosen and allow the
vehicle to fall over.
Transporting Your Vehicle
To secure your vehicle, brace the front wheel
against the front of the truck bed or trailer rail.
Attach the lower ends of two straps to the tie-
down hooks on truck bed or trailer rail. Attach
the upper ends of the straps to the handlebar
(one on the right side, the other on the left),
close to the fork.
Check that the tie-down straps do not contact
any control cables or electrical wiring.
Tighten both straps until the front suspension is
compressed about half-way. Too much pressure
is unnecessary and could damage the fork seals.
Use another tie-down strap to keep the rear of
the vehicle from moving.
We recommend that you do not transport your
vehicle on its side. This can damage the vehicle,
and leaking petrol could be a hazard.
