Get the Bike Ready.
The requirements for each of the transport methods are standard. This doesn't include crated shipping. Crated shipping will require the motorcycle to be drained of all fluids and the battery must be disconnected. People select this option for the security it gives. The bike is placed on a wooden pallet and placed inside a trailer for safety.
- The bike must be washed clean from all dirt and debris.
- Alarm systems will need to be disabled.
- Fluids and tires should be examined prior to shipment. The battery should also be examined.
- The gas tank should be no more than a ¼ full.
- Take pictures and note any damage already existing on the motorcycle.
- Remove any and all loose and unnecessary items from the motorcycle.
When the motorcycle is prepped accordingly, the employees and the motorcycle are less at risk at being put in harm’s way. It is imperative that you heed to the transport company’s policies and requests.
