What Is the Safest Transport Method to Use for a Motorcycle?

A lot of people are apprehensive about shipping their bike. However, it is absolutely safe. When the bike’s condition is of the utmost concern, crated shipping methods are typically recommended. Although this service is a little more expensive than an open air delivery, it protects the bike from outside elements such as poor weather and road conditions.

When a motorcycle is shipped through container methods, it is often secured to a wooden pallet then slid into a small shipping crate. Due to the size of the shipping crate, you may be asked to remove the handlebars and any other loose or protruding items. You’ll also be required to prepare the bike accordingly for its delivery.

Motorcycle Preparation

• Drain the bike of all fluids except the fuel. The fuel tank mustn’t read over ¼ full.
• Wash the motorcycle and make sure it is free of all dirt and debris.
• Take photographs of the motorcycle and any visible damage it may suffer from. Also write down all damages.
• Have the bike undergo maintenance by professional technicians.
• Disconnect the battery.
