Securing motorcycle
for transportation
Make sure that all components
that might come into contact
with straps used to secure the
motorcycle are adequately pro-
tected against scratching. Use
adhesive tape or soft cloths, for
example, for this purpose.
The motorcycle can topple
and fall on its side.
Make sure that the motorcycle
cannot topple sideways.
Push the motorcycle onto the
transportation flat and hold it in
position: do not place it on the
side stand or centre stand.
Risk of damaging compon-
ents.
Take care not to trap
components such as brake lines
or wires.
At the front, secure the straps
to the handlebars on both
sides.
Pass the straps through the
leading link and tighten the
straps.
At the rear, secure the straps
to the rear footrests on both
sides and tighten the straps.
Tighten all the straps uniformly;
the motorcycle's suspension
should be compressed as
tightly as possible front and
rear.
