Default Will my RKC fit through a glass-sliding door?

Hoping to put my bike in the basement for the winter...will a RKC fit through a regular-sized sliding door?

I sure hope so... I think it will fit fine but if you need to measure it do it up...

What size is "regular" size? Can you take the glass sliding panels out?

Sure, it'll fit....might break glass, but it WILL GET THROUGH !!

I would suggestany speed above 25 to make sure it gets through

I don't think the panel will come out...or if it does, it would be beyond my capabilities

I had a 650 Yamaha in the basement, once upon a time, but am thinking the RKC is a bit wider in the handlebar department. Was hoping someone here has done it...

Not sure how wide the opening is, and of courseI can measure it, but sitting here at work and got to thinking...you know how it is

A lot of sliding glass doors, you can take both sections out. Just lift all the way and swing out from the bottom.

Measure itat the engine guard/crash bar & then measure the door openning.

If the door panels don't come out, here's another option

YES..................IF!!!!

1) the door is wider than the bike
2) The bike isn't wider than the door
3) the measured width of the door to larger than the measured width of the bike

LOL......Just kidding....had to throw that in

But seriously, I buddy on mine does put his bike in the basement for the winter, but he does have to take the door off. Sounded like a simple job though...Good Luck
