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.
ATTENTION
Vehicle topples to side when
being lifted on to stand.
Risk of damage to parts if vehicle
topples.
Secure the vehicle to prevent it
toppling, preferably with the as-
sistance of a second person.
Push the motorcycle onto the
transportation flat and hold it in
position: do not place it on the
side stand.
ATTENTION
Trapping of components.
Component damage
Do not trap components such
as brake lines or cable legs.
At the front, loop a strap over
the bottom fork bridge on each
side.
Pull the straps down and tight.
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.
