Hey guys I wanted some pictures of how you tie down our quad to a truck bed. Do you leave it in Neutral, 1st gear, or wht to prevent it from moving back and forth. I hear leaving it in gear is a no-no. WHere do you tie your straps to on the Blaster?

Don't put it in gear.IMO
Leave it in neutral and put the parking brake on if you have one.
Or put a block behind the tires. Then tie it down.

I tie mine down just like I always did bikes, 1 cam lock one each side of the bars down to the corner hoods in the bed.
I have that Parking brake lever on the left handle bar, I know how to engage it but it does not seem to work. By work I mean it does not stop quad from rolling :-/
Never, ever leave any vehicle in gear whilst transporting it.
Gears are free from oil because of non rotation.
Constant rocking backward and forward movement can wear flat spots on gear teeth.
Excessive, constant rocking will cause pistons to reciprocate in a dry bore.
The park pawl in an automatic gearbox takes a terrible hammering.

Rogert that! Thanks guys. So let me clarify, DO NOT leave quad in gear? SO leave in Neutral? Im taking a 1.5 hr trip and it will be up and down hills
I have no clue, i removed it from my other quad, the previous guy took it off my new one, giz's doesnt have it...
Most i think just stop working... And im sure its there for legal reasons as-is the TORs system that is just a problem

I was thinking of buying those Monster Shock covers you have on. They look nice I saw a pair on ebay for like $35
BTW has anyone ever loaded 2 Quads in the back of their truck? I saw a picture of one before GUy had one atv standing verticle with front tires touching top of roof, and the other tied down normal. I woiuld love to see a picture of this if anyne has one.
I dont suggest what you saw....
We fit 2 in our dodge longbox
One parallel to the cab in front with the wheels on the wheel wells
The other in there normal, i dont remember if we could close the tailgate though

If it strapped down correcty, then leaving it in gear will serve no purpose other than if the straps come loose you will wear flat spots on the gears.

Never said to keep it in gear or not to. My point was that the Quad shouldn't be moving if its strapped in right.
