PreviousHow to Transport a Motorcycle
Follow these precautions to make sure your motorcycle is transported properly as well as with transporters that are qualified.
- Good safety precaution: drain your gas tank as well as remove your battery. You can also opt to crate your motorcycle at this point.
- Wash your motorcycle even if it will be shipping on an open trailer. You want to be able to spot any chips, dings, or nicks before shipment.
- If your motorcycle has an alarm, disarm it before shipment.
- Be sure to secure any loose parts as well as specialty items such as exhaust, saddle bags, tank bags, hard luggage, fairings as well as anything else that could get in the way during transport.
- Make sure that your tires are properly inflated as well as that you don't have any fluid leaks.
- Have a specific list with any problems your motorcycle may have. Your carrier will want to know of such things during the loading as well as unloading of your motorcycle.
- To prevent disputes of possible damage during shipment, make a report of any existing damage prior to pickup. You may also want to take dated pictures of your motorcycle.
- Locate a reliable motorcycle transporter (the links below may help).
