If your vehicle needs to be transported, it should be carried on a motorcycle trailer or a flatbed truck or trailer that has a loading ramp or lifting platform and motorcycle tie-down straps. Never try to tow your vehicle with a wheel or wheels on the ground.

NOTICE Towing your vehicle with a wheel or wheels on the ground can cause serious damage to the transmission. |
If you use a truck or motorcycle trailer to transport your vehicle, we recommend that you follow these guidelines:
|
|
To secure your vehicle, brace the front wheel against the front of the truck bed or trailer rail. Attach the lower ends of two straps to the tie-down hooks on truck bed or trailer rail. Attach the upper ends of the straps to the handlebar (one on the right side, the other on the left), close to the fork.
Check that the tie-down straps do not contact any control cables or electrical wiring.
Tighten both straps until the front suspension is compressed about half-way. Too much pressure is unnecessary and could damage the fork seals.
Use another tie-down strap to keep the rear of the vehicle from moving.
We recommend that you do not transport your vehicle on its side. This can damage the vehicle, and leaking petrol could be a hazard.
