This is exactly how I loaded my YZ250. I made sure that the front wheel sits straight in the corner of the front side bed to make sure the the front wheel will not turn while having tension on the straps. To optain good tension on the straps I compressed the front forks while pulling/tighting them. No straps were needed for the rear wheel. Tailgate goes up with no problem. Hope this helps, Alohas!

Given this, I was planning on putting the front wheel of the bike in the front passenger side corner of the bed. With the bike in diagonally (sp?) I think I can get the tailgate closed. Then I would use my tie downs from the bike to the two opposite corner hooks (Driver Side Front & Passenger Side Rear).
Have any of you done this? Any problems? Also, what is the best place to attache the tie downs to the bike in this positoin. I was thinking one on each side of the handle bars.
Thanks.
