• Remove any loose items. If you are using a created transport method, you may need to remove the handlebars as well.
• Drain all fluids in the vehicle with the exception of fuel. Leave the gas tank ¼ full or less.
• Write down and take pictures of any damages. You can refer to your notes when you inspect the bike after delivery.
• If you plan on shipping internationally, call the embassy of the country you’re delivering the bike to. Every nation has its own import laws to follow. You’re also responsible for paying taxes and duties aside from shipping costs.
