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 up-
right on the truck or trailer, as gasoline may leak out of
the fuel tank if the motorcycle leans to one side. Gaso-
line is a fire hazard and it can also damage the motor-
cycle’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. Se-
cure the rear of the motorcycle with tiedowns around
the swingarm, being careful to avoid the brake line, ex-
haust, and drive belt. Reposition the turn signals after
transportation.
