How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping

The first step to take is to give your bike a thorough wash. Be sure to complete the cleaning exercise ahead of the shipping date. After the motorcycle is clean, it is time to check for pre-existing dents, scratches, marks, and paint chips. Make a record of the existing damages.

After documenting and dating the damages, take photos of the bike. Make sure that the images have date stamps of every noticeable damage. Store these and carry them when collecting the bike after shipment. With these evidences, the carrier cannot dispute any new dents that might have occurred during transit.

Minimize the cases of theft by making sure your personal items are secure. Detach all aftermarket accessories and remove the toll tags too. Leaving your toll tag on the bike means that you are charged each time your bike passes through a toll.

Remove or deactivate the alarm devices before packing your bike. Imagine the struggle the shipper must go through if you have crated the bike and the alarm goes off mid-journey.

If there are motorcycle accessories on your bike that are wobbly and can be unscrewed, be sure to secure or detach them. Fold in the side-view mirrors.

If the motorcycle is unroadworthy, remember to inform your shipper during booking so that they can make the needed preparations.
