Yamaha MT-07 - Owner's Manual > Transporting the Motorcycle

Be sure to observe following instructions before transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle.

• Remove all loose items from the motorcycle.
• Check that the fuel cock (if equipped) is in the off position and that there are no fuel leaks.
• Shift the transmission into gear (for models with a manual transmission).
• Secure the motorcycle with tie-downs or suitable straps that are attached to solid parts of the motorcycle, such as the frame or upper front fork triple clamp (and not, for example, to rubber-mounted handlebars or turn signals, or parts that could break). Choose the location for the straps carefully so the straps will not rub against painted surfaces during transport.
• The suspension should be compressed somewhat by the tie-downs, if possible, so that the motorcycle will not bounce excessively during transport.
