A. Transporting a motorcycle and be stress and pain free if you are careful to follow the transporters rules. Depending on the transporter, you may be required to empty the gas tank. Some may allow a bare minimum of gas to be left in the tank. However if it’s in an enclosed box it is going to be necessary to have the tank emptied. You can also remove the battery if you so choose.

Saddle bags shouldn’t be a problem and you can leave them on the bike if you so wish but we recommend that you take all of their contents. As anything not physically attached to the bike will not be insured. Also we recommend you remove any loose, specialty, or anything that could be stolen during transport.

The transporter you choose will closely document the condition of the motorcycle when they receive it in their care. However it’s advisable to take dated photo’s of your motorcycle. Thusly eliminating any chances of damage being unfairly blamed on you or others. Listing and informing the motorcycle transporter of any mechanical problems is also highly recommended as it could be loaded and unloaded more then once.
