Transporting - how much to compress front fork?

[Charlie P]

Just how much should the front fork (shock/springs) be compressed when tying down the scooter for transport?  I have a carrier that mounts on the back of my truck so the scooter is perpendicular to the truck.  Some people say not to compress the forks other say 5 -10 mm (that ain't very much).  Pictures/videos of how you transport (in particular the fork compression question) would be great.

Just enough as prevent the bike from bouncing.  Secure your brakes.

When I picked mine up from the dealer, they strapped (f1 strap from each side of the handle bar) tight enough the bike was held very secure without the kickstand.  I did not pay that much attention to how far the fork was compressed, but it was tight enough I would not of needed the one I put across the rear end.
