    Unclip the tailgate cables and let it drop lower- 4 inches less vertical travel to make. Back up to the curb- 6 less inches. Back down into a ditch. Lower tire pressure in truck if you have a compressor. Anything to decrease overall vertical distance makes it much easier. All your methods were good too.

    Those strap extenders fit right around your forks too (instead of your bars). That way you don't have to compress your forks. Good for long trips or when you have to leave your bike in your truck for a while. ✌

    I used to ride my DRZ400 into my bed using a curved double ramp (Harbor Freight). I also recommend using a wooden chock between the front fender and the tire so you can tighten the rachet straps without bottoming the suspension.

  • @Marshall1174
    @Marshall1174 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey guys, here's a neat trick I discovered many truck models ago, and it keeps working for me through them all! I have a full size GMC now with short box. Once my 450 is in, I can't close the tailgate. Here's the trick: loop your steel braided tailgate support cables on each side over the TOP and in FRONT of the tailgate catch posts (lift gate to remove cable tension while routing). Now the cables will pull tight when the tailgate is at about a 45° incline, which will tuck it right behind the rear tire and also prevent any larger objects from falling out of the back. Even holds my ramps in nicely. Call it a "half closed gate", at least. Anyone else figured this one out? It's great for a short bed truck--can get two bikes in with tailgate half up like that--looks much better than a fully open tailgate!

  • @LGR_LGR_LGR
    @LGR_LGR_LGR 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    We used a plank of wood, then put it on it's stand and put a milk container to protect the fork seals,then just tie down.

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Compressing does put some extra pressure on the fork seals and I certainly wouldn't leave them compressed for extended periods of time (over night), but if you're concerned about that, we carry fork savers that go between the fender and the tire so you can tie your bike down very secure without compressing the forks hardly at all. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/rider-cargo-motorcycle-fork-brace-p

    The 2nd and my favourite is clutching the bike up, 1st gear and slowly idle the bike up when it get to the point where I have to step up I like to let the bike kinda pull me up as I go for the step as I Cant physically step up onto the tail gate. Works great and never failed me.

    You missed the one I use all the time. I put the ramp off to the side I want the bike on and wheel it up the ramp while walking beside the truck (left side ramp, I walk up the left side of the truck). I normally prehook my first strap onto the truck so when I get the bike on I can put the one strap on it and then hop into the bed and do the other side. This is by far the easiest method I have found for me (F350/YZ125 combo).

    Another tip: compress the forks on the run up to the ramp and allow the rebound to begin at the bottom of the ramp, the bike will roll up much easier

    I have a double wide ramp. After securing it to the truck to hold in place, I ride up the ramp.

    I put my bikes front tire by the side of the tail gate then put it in gear then pull it up as if it’s in a wheelie then push it over the tail gate pull in the clutch and push it onto the skid plate then just pull it up on

    I can easily load a bike by my self with out a ramp just grab under the forks and lift the front up then lean the rear on my shoulder and grab the swing arm and lift it up. Do it all the time!

      Agreed, I don’t have one so I’ve never been able to try it but I’d think a wide ramp that was made to hold the weight would be perfect to just gently ride up, of course still with securing the ramp to the tailgate

      My ramp is a 2x12 and my last 2 trucks I rode it up all the time. My new truck is a lot higher so I walk along side with the bike in first gear and let the motor push it up.

    I did like your tip for how to unload without a ramp which happens once in awhile but for loading I always just ride my bike up the double-wide four wheeler ramp I bought years ago but I would do it on a modern strong foot-wide ramp as well. Just make sure you're standing when you go up and never sit or your suspension will rebound going up putting you out of control. Just be ready to go up with decent momentum in first gear of course and don't accelerate as you go up and let off the gas as you go up putting on the brakes smoothly as you are reaching the top.

    i never use a ramp, and my ute (im Australian, a truck is a truck hahah) is really high off the ground, i just grab the front axle and lift the front wheel up, then grab my swing-arm, lift the bike up so the linkage is on the bed, then rotate the rear wheel and its in. then reverse steps to get it out. im only 16 and 6f tall, and i find it really easy with a ktm 450sxf

    @calumkz 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Forward is easy, I load my bike into my camper van backwards, use the front brake to hold it on the ramp halfway up (as far as you can run it up backwards)and then face the front of the bike holding the forks and pushing it up and in backwards. Just make sure it doesn't turn one way or the other or fall side to side. I use a lock n load peg mount with 1 ratchet over the seat.

  • @johnhouston3681
    @johnhouston3681 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Push the bike on the right hand side. Get in a pinch, grab front brake and roll rear wheel with left hand. Can't do that from the left side. Helps when tired after a long hard day

  • @TwinTurboLsx
    @TwinTurboLsx 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I quickly learned not to rely on there front brake when unloading and slowly rolling the bike out. If you don't have a bed liner that adds traction for the front tire to grab onto, the front brake is useless and sets you up for an accident. ask me how I know. So I always put the bike in gear and slowly roll it back and out using the clutch as a brake since the back tire was firmly in the ramp.
