SAFETY INFORMATION
● Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the “OFF” position
and that there are no fuel leaks.

ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre- 2

● Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmis-
sion).
● Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or up-

for example, to rubber-mounted
handlebars or turn signals, or parts
that could break). Choose the lo-
cation for the straps carefully so
the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.
● The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the mo-
torcycle will not bounce excessive-
ly during transport.
