Good question I get why you want to leave it in neutral because you want to avoid clutch wear. Well for very long trips I get that but for short trip (all I do):
Get it in the truck or my tilt trailer
Leave in low gear
Set parking brake
Chock it—I have these big rubber chocks I bought from Tractor Supply—one set for each non-steerable wheel; my tilt trailer has 4x4 lumber all the way across the deck—front and back—hitch pinned to deck.
Straps—I use Harley Davidson ratchet straps with the soft hooks. Only attach the straps to rigid frame members—not steering members, handlebars or across seat. Use a bungee cord from foot peg to foot peg to restrain the seat-seen several atv seats lost on the highway.
Lastly remove your key—that little flag will catch the wind and you’ll lose it too.
