Motorcycle Dealership Operational Playbook

Setting Up TruDealer for Motorcycles

TruDealer automatically detects motorcycle makes (Harley-Davidson, BMW Motorrad, Ducati, KTM, Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, etc.). When your dealership profile is set to moto:

• TruLens dynamically switches to the 14-angle motorcycle photo workflow.
• TruInspect loads the 6-phase motorcycle VIR inspection checklist with a 2-tyre assessment.
• Drop-in website widgets switch to "Book a Demo Ride" and motorcycle trade-in valuation modes.

The 14-Angle PWA Photo Workflow (TruLens)

TruLens guides yard staff around the bike in under 3 minutes with zero camera viewfinder clutter:

• 1. Front 3/4 Left & Right: Full stance and headlight cluster.
• 2. Full Profiles (Left & Right): Stance, fairings, and ground clearance.
• 3. Front Wheel, Brake & Fork: Disc rotor wear, caliper status, and fork seal integrity.
• 4. Cockpit & Handlebars: Mirrors, switchgear, clutch/brake levers, and grips.
• 5. Odometer: Digital or analogue instrument cluster displaying current reading.
• 6. Fuel Tank & Controls: Top tank paint condition, fuel cap, and steering damper.
• 7. Engine Casings (Left & Right): Alternator cover, clutch cover, and drop scuffs.

6-Phase Motorcycle VIR Inspection (TruInspect)

Protect your dealership against Consumer Protection Act (CPA) disputes by generating a signed digital condition report before delivery:
