Before the motorcycle shipping company arrives to take your bike away, there are some things you can do to prepare.
- First off, inspect the bike thoroughly for any noticeable damage. To do this, wash your bike completely, then go over it with a fine comb and search and document any problems regardless of how small like dings, a nicked fender or any other obvious cosmetic problems or damages.
- If there is any sort of an alarm on the bike, disengage it for the vehicle transport service. As there are so many alarm on the market today, you will be doing your vehicle shipping company a favor if you simply do it yourself.
- Remove obvious items such as saddle bags and fold mirrors in as tight as possible. Fenders and ferring too. Even removing the exhaust pipe is a good idea.
- Fill all fluids in the bike to full and check for leaks. Leaking fluid, especially oil, is not good for another vehicle’s paint job if it plops on top of it from a motorcycle above it. If there are any at all, notify the motorcycle shipper.
- Ensure that the battery is properly charged as well. Again, document any problems in detail as this may be quite important later if the bike is damaged during vehicle delivery.
