Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instructions
before transporting the motorcycle in
another vehicle.
• Remove all loose items from the mo-
torcycle.
• Check that the fuel cock (if equip-
ped) is in the "
there are no fuel leaks.
• Point the front wheel straight ahead
on the trailer or in the truck bed, and
choke it in a rail to prevent move-
ment.
• Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmission).
• Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or upper
front fork triple clamp (and not, for
example, to rubber-mounted hand-
lebars or turn signals, or parts that
could break). Choose the location
for the straps carefully so the straps
will not rub against painted surfaces
during transport.
• The suspension should be compres-
sed somewhat by the tie-downs, if
possible, so that the motorcycle will
not bounce excessively during tran-
sport.
