How Do I Get the Bike Ready for Delivery?
- Document any existing damages for your records. Take photographs and write damages down.
- Check the oil, tire pressure and fluids.
- If your motorcycle is has a security system installed, make sure it is turned off.
- Have your mechanic repair any leaks.
- Make sure the fuel tank is less than ¼ full.
- Take off any added motorcycle accessories.
- Disconnect the battery and remove the handlebars if asked by the transporter- this is usually geared towards customers who use crated shipping methods.
When you prepare the motorcycle for the shipping process, it is less likely to suffer any harm. Those carrying out the bike’s delivery will also be made safer. Most transport companies will provide their customers with a small list of preparation requests before the shipping date. Fulfill all requests.
Why Is Crated Shipping So Popular?
Crated transport is usually more expensive than other methods of shipping. Nevertheless, it provides the most protection by enclosing the bike within a small shipping container. This transport method safeguards the bike from criminal activity, poor road and weather conditions, and other outdoor hazards. It also prevents the motorcycle from moving during the transport, making it less likely to become harmed during the shipping process.
