Set the brake and use a chock. A Canyon Dancer with light tension on the front bars and a wide ratchet strap over the rear seat with good tension. Roll On! Depending on the angle, you may want a couple of soft kitchen towels or rags to make sure the paint is not compromised on the rear by the ratchet strap.
I use a Canyon strap also but hold the rear down with vinyl straps around the rear grab handles and hook the ratchet tie downs to each strap. I pull the front shocks down quite a bit to lessen the bouncing. Fuzzy
My AN650AK6 saw it's first 700 miles of travel on a trailer.
I attached a rachetting tie down on each pillion hand grip.
I attached the other two on the handle bars grips being careful to
compress the front shocks only halfway. The bike handled the
journey fine. I did need to protect the paint from scratches
using soft rags at contact points.
I use a Bike-Pro wheel chock on my trailer. Just roll the Burgman onto it, and it holds it up-right. Now then, use soft-ties on the handle bars and ratchet-straps. For the back, use soft-ties through the wheels with straps. Works for me with no problems.
Commercially available wheel chock, canyon dancer, straps to grab handles on back. I bought plant hanging straps with heavy duty velcro that I put around the handles with a soft cloth under them. No damage after several thousand miles.
