Anyone who wishes to keep the bike in the same condition and from accumulating more mileage should definitely look into motorcycle shipping services offered through A1 Auto Transport.
Advice for a Safe Cross-Country Motorcycle Transport
Our bike should be prepared before its cross-country shipping process begins. This not only helps protect the condition of the bike and its mileage, but the motorcycle’s preparation also protects all those involved in its transport. Below, is how you should prepare the motorcycle.
- Wash the bike so that there is no longer any dirt or debris showing.
- Drain the fluids from the bike if it is being shipped through crated transport methods. Otherwise, top off all fluids and only leave the fuel tank ¼ full or less.
- Disable the bike's alarm system and battery.
- Inspect the vehicle and take note of any damage done to the motorcycle prior to its shipping process. Take photographs of the bike as well.
Of course, the way the bike is prepared will also depend on the method of transport chosen. Crated shipping methods sometimes require extra preparation including the removal of the bike’s handlebars and other loose or unnecessary items.
