Safety Transporting the Motorcycle If you must transport the motorcycle: • Use a truck or trailer. Do not tow the motorcycle with another vehicle, as towing will impair the motorcycle's steering and handling. • Position and restrain the motorcycle so it remains upright on the truck or trailer. If the motorcycle leans to one side, gasoline may leak from the fuel tank and result in a fire hazard or damage to the finish. • Do not restrain the motorcycle using the handlebars. In front, hook the tiedowns in the loop provided in the bottom of the frame. Place tiedowns as wide apart as possible on the truck or trailer bed for best stability. To loop on frame (one tiedown each side) To shock/strut mount, or rear tip-over bar (one tiedown each side) Fuel and Exhaust Safety Always heed these fuel safety warnings when refueling or servicing the fuel system.
