I'm booking a shipment for my dirt bike. Do I need to drain all the fuel, or is 1/4 tank okay? Also, should I remove loose accessories? I want to ensure it arrives in the same condition it left.

Preparing a dirt bike for
motorcycle transport across the USA requires a few key steps to ensure safety. Most carriers prefer you keep the fuel level at approximately 1/4 tank or less to minimize weight and fire hazards. It is also essential to remove all loose accessories, such as GPS units or action cameras, and fold in the mirrors to prevent any damage during the long transit. Check your tire pressure and ensure there are no active fluid leaks before the driver arrives. Taking clear photos of the bike from all angles before loading provides important documentation for your peace of mind. By following these simple preparation steps, you help the professionals ensure your dirt bike arrives in the exact same condition it left.
