Follow these instructions carefully to ensure safe usage of your new Rack N Ride Sport motorbike carrier.
You must secure your motorcycle at a minimum of six points, using MX tie-downs or ratchet straps attached to the frame, handlebars, triple clamp, crash bars, rear tire or foot pegs. This is essential for safety and is easily achieved.
Securing your bike from the frame to the main bar into the tow bar receiver is the strongest option.
With Sport bikes you should be running at least 3 points each side so that will be your backup / safety line also.
You can strap off the bikes frame each side.
A rear-wheel tyre tie-down or “tyre down” (such as TyreFix) on the rear tyre are also effective.
Straps off the handlebars – Handlebar Harness – we only pull down 1/4″, they are a double back up.
The front tie down bar provides another set of anchor points to use additional back up straps.
Making your bike secure: On the inside, closest to vehicle, use the trailer safety chain shackle points, if you strap from here up to your bikes frame diagonally you are securing the bike to the vehicle, this is very effective at limiting movement.
