Loading without damage
- Low ramp angle, so the belly pan and exhaust don’t ground.
- Soft loops round the lower triple clamp, never round clip-ons or across the fairing.
- Gentle compression on the forks, enough to hold the bike, not enough to damage the seals.
- Rear straps to the subframe or pillion pegs, clear of the tail unit.
Common calls
Low-speed drops and slides, punctures, flat batteries after the bike has stood, and track day crashes. If it’s been dropped, check for fuel or oil leaks before trying to start it, and don’t ride it with a bent lever or a damaged footpeg.

FAQ
Rider questions
Will the straps damage my fairings?
They shouldn’t touch them. We strap to the triple clamp and the subframe, not the plastics.
