When we flew our bikes to Oz we drained the tanks & carbs completely. We wrote up our own letter to confirm this. Ours flew as Dangerous goods - we did not remove the batteries, just disconnected them & taped up the terminals. Buying new batteries for both bikes in Oz was going to cost more than the DG charges.
I have been told by one experienced moto-traveller that you should be able to fly a motorcycle as non-DG without removing the battery but that didn't seem to be an option with the freight companies we used.
Cheers
