SAFETY

Transporting the Motorcycle

If you must transport the motorcycle:
S

Use a truck or trailer. Do not tow the motorcycle with another

vehicle, as towing will impair the motorcycle’s steering and

handling, which can cause loss of control.

S

Position and restrain the motorcycle so it remains upright on

the truck or trailer, as gasoline may leak out of the fuel tank if

the motorcycle leans to one side. Gasoline is a fire hazard and

it can also damage the motorcycle’s finish.

S

Place the transmission in neutral.

S

Do not restrain the motorcycle using the handlebars. Loosen

the front turn signal mounts and slide them up to make room

for the tiedown strap. Place tie-downs around the fork tubes

above the lower triple clamp. Secure the rear of the motorcycle

with tiedowns around the swingarm, being careful to avoid the

brake line, exhaust, and drive belt. Reposition the turn signals

after transportation.
