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

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 both sides of the the swingarm, being careful to avoid the brake line,

exhaust, and drive belt. Re-position the turn signals after transportation.

Loosen screw,

slide turn signal up
