A simple solution to this problem is a set of Tugger lift straps. Tuggers are available for the front and rear of most motocross, off-road or dual sport motorcycles. These heavy duty nylon straps attach securely to your motorcycle and allow you to easily extract your machine from the mud.
The style 1 Tugger attaches to the rear of the frame via a pair of fasteners. Installation was simple on my 2007 Kawasaki KLX250, requiring me to remove the seat bolts and re-install them with the proper selection of hardware required to attach the Tugger strap. The Tugger kit includes 3 additional pairs of hex bolts, along with collared bushings, spacers, and nylon washers. The supplied fasteners are slightly longer than the stock bolts on my KLX250, which allowed full engagement of the threads while installed over the bushings and washers.
The style 2 Tugger is designed for the front end of your dirt bike. The strap is threaded around each fork just below the lower triple clamp. The strap provides an excellent place to lift the front end of the bike, yet is out of the way when not in use.
Both straps were installed in less than 10 minutes on my machine and the only tools required were an 8mm socket and ratchet. I would note that even though I have not gotten stuck yet, the straps are already being put to use. They are very handy when dragging the bike back into the corner of the garage to park it or putting the bike on a stand.
This is a low risk purchase, as the straps are warranted forever. If you break it, mail it back and they will send a replacement. No questions asked.
