Slipping out of Gear:

Trying to mate slower spinning sliding gears with very high spinning fixed gears is hard on the transmission. If the transmission is slipping out of gears, the gear's dogs and cogs are rounded (worn) and must be replaced.

Hauling in Neutral:

Tie-down straps secure our motorcycles and ATV’s well when used properly during transportation. We tend to use a variety of materials and things to secure motorcycles and ATV’s when transporting.

When the motorcycle/ATV is not properly secured, it may move during transport. If the transmission is placed in gear, shift forks flex under the load and weight of the motorcycle as it moves. Same goes with the clutch and drive chain. These parts are easily damaged. Place the transmission into Neutral and properly secure motorcycle with quality tie-down straps.
