Transporting the Motorcycle

If you must transport the motorcycle:

Use a truck or trailer. Do not tow the motorcycle with another vehicle, as towing will impair the motorcycle’s steering and handling.
Position and restrain the motorcycle in an upright position.
Do not restrain the motorcycle using the handlebars.
Loop tiedown straps (from the front) up and over the lower triple clamp, using care to not interfere with wiring and brake lines. Place tiedowns as wide apart as possible on the truck or trailer bed for best stability.
Do not engage the side stand during truck or trailer transportation.
