I have a 1997 CR250R and the best way that I have found to strap it down in the back of my truck is to cut a piece of 2X4 to the length between the front fender and the front tire then strap it from the the handle bars to the truck. Its the same thing as the product "Fork Savers" but you don't have to pay the 20 bucks for it. If you want more peace of mind you also could take another strap and put it the rear rim and strap it to the back of the truck. Then there is no way its going nowhere unless you have old strap that could rip. I hope this helps answer you question.

I have a 1997 CR250R and the very best way that I have discovered to strap it down in the back again of my truck is to decrease a piece of 2X4 to the dimension in between the entrance fender and the entrance tire then strap it from the the handle bars to the truck. Its the identical factor as the item "Fork Savers" nevertheless you do not have to invest the 20 bucks for it. If you want much more peace of brain you as well may possibly consider an additional strap and place it the rear rim and strap it to the back again of the truck. Then there is no way its heading nowhere unless of course you have prior strap that may possibly rip. I hope this helps reply you question.

You claim to be a dirtbike expert, so you should know the answer. Any dirtbiker ought to know. But since you don't really have a bike, it is understandable why you don't know. Get some Ancra tie-downs. Hook a tie down on your handlebars on each side of the bike and hook the other end of the tie down to the trailer on each side of the bike. Lean the bike over a bit on one side and pull that tie-down tight. Then lean the bike over a bit to the other side and tighten that tie-down. After you get the front tied down, put a tie-down on each side of the frame on the back of the bike to compress the rear suspension down a bit just like you did on the front. Try to use some common sense when doing it. Also, look at how other people tie their bikes down.

take to straps and go from the handlebars on the left to the truck bed then same on the other side
then take on on the swing arm to the truck and if there all tight that will keep it in place just watch it for the first 1/2 mile to make sure it stays tight

Use the tie down method everyone told you about.
Very Important - Use a wheel chock to prevent the front-end from turning and your bike falling down.
Here's a removable type. Great for pick up trucks.
