Transporting a motorcycle may seem simple at first, but many riders make mistakes that can lead to costly damage or even accidents. If you want to transport your bike safely—whether with a rental motorcycle platform or using motorcycle towing in Brașov—it’s important to know what NOT to do.
The PlatformaMoto.ro team explains the most common mistakes and how to avoid them.
1. Improvised transport without a dedicated platform
❌ Mistake: Loading the motorcycle into a van, pickup, or trailer that isn’t suitable.
✅ Solution: Use a rental motorcycle platform, designed specifically for securing motorcycles, with a safe ramp, quality straps, and stable anchor points.
2. Securing the motorcycle with only two straps
❌ Mistake: Quickly tying it at just two points “because it’s enough”—it’s not.
✅ Solution: Secure it in at least 4 points, preferably:
-
two straps at the front (on the triple clamp, not the handlebars)
-
two straps at the rear (on the frame or swingarm)
-
slightly compress the suspension (not fully!)
3. Using the handlebars as anchor points
❌ Mistake: Handlebars are not strong points—they can bend or get damaged.
✅ Solution: Use the lower triple clamp or dedicated transport mounts.
4. Using old straps or straps without a ratchet
❌ Mistake: Worn straps with weak hooks or no ratchet can fail during transport.
✅ Solution: Use industrial-quality ratchet straps. These are included when you rent a motorcycle platform in Brașov from PlatformaMoto.ro.
5. Locking the front brake or wheels
❌ Mistake: Locking the brakes or wheels increases tension risks and may damage the calipers.
✅ Solution: Leave the wheels free. Stability is ensured by the straps, not the brakes.
6. Ignoring strap checks after the first few kilometers
❌ Mistake: Many riders start the trip and forget to check the straps.
✅ Solution: Stop after 10–15 km, check if the straps have loosened, and adjust them. Vibrations can alter the initial tension.
7. Lack of a reliable partner
❌ Mistake: Loading the motorcycle alone on the ramp is risky—you could injure your back or drop the bike.
✅ Solution: Ask for help or use professional motorcycle towing services in Brașov, where everything is handled by professionals.
