How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping

Motorcycle shipping is split into several stages. Getting the bike set for shipment is one crucial stage. At this stage, some activities should be completed for the bike shipment to be safe. They include:

• Motorcycle maintenance. Make sure all the mechanical systems of the motorbike are working.
• Motorcycle cleaning. Dirt can cause damage if it gets stuck between the joints.
• Checking the pressure in the tires. Tires absorbs shock especially when the shipping auto passes through a rugged terrain; hence you need to pump in enough air.
• Service the engine. The engine is the heart of the motorcycle, so it should be in its best condition.
• Check the amount of fuel. Fuel levels should be lowered to about a quarter of the gas tank. When gas levels are low, the weight of the motorcycle is reduced; thus, resulting to lower shipping fees.
• Disconnect the alarm. Some alarms are very sensitive and will cause a nuisance when triggered. Remove these and ship them in distinct containers.
• Remove the battery from the motorcycle if you are shipping your bike in a crate.
• Draining fluids is another crucial step. Most of the fluids in the motorcycle are either corrosive or inflammable. Completing the step prevents spillage of the dangerous fluids during the bike shipment.

What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company

• The duration in which the shipper has been in the industry helps to determine their ability to offer quality services. The average experience of an ideal shipper is 15 years. Below this, you might experience delays or even receive a damaged bike.
• The variety of shipping methods offered by the shipper. A customer should use what they think is the best option for their needs. You will only get the method you prefer from shippers with an array of techniques. They also should tailor the packages to match your requisites.
• The availability of trained personnel. Do not entrust your bike to untrained shippers. Odds are the motorcycle will not reach the recipient or will get vandalized while in transit. Always confirm that the shipper’s staff consists of highly trained members, and preferably, they should own bikes.
