Motorcycle Safety & Driveability: motorcycle trailering, motorcycle trailering, good habit


Question
I am going to trailer my Harley (FXDB) and would like to know if when tied down the clutch should be in 1St or neutral to travel?

Answer
Phil, this is a bit outside my area but I have trailered motorcycles on several occasions so I will give you my opinion.  I have always put the transmission in 1st gear to help keep the motorcycle from rolling while being trailered, just as it is a good habit to have the motorcycle in 1st gear whenever parking to prevent it from rolling.

I hope this helps you.
