Vehicle load
The vehicle is designed for use by the rider with a passenger. To drive safely and under the highway code, never
exceed the maximum allowed total gross weight of 440 kg (970.03 Lbs).
That is the sum of the motorcycle, driver, passenger and load weight, according to the EEC 92/61 directive.
DANGER
Since the load can strongly aect handling, braking, performance and safety characteristics of
your motorcycle, you should always keep in mind the following warnings.
NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR MOTORCYCLE!
Driving an overloaded motorcycle can cause damage to the tyres, loss of control of the vehicle
and serious injury. Check that the total of driver and passenger weight, the burden weight and
the vehicle gross weight NEVER exceed the granted values. Never carry any incorrectly
fastened object on your motorcycle, because it could move from its position during riding.
Steadily fasten the heaviest objects near the center of the motorcycle, and equally divide the
load on both sides of the vehicle.
Do not insert any object in the spaces on the frame trellis, in order to avoid interferring with
the movable parts of the motorcycle.
Before riding, always check the wear and the pressure of the tyres. Adjust the suspensions
according to the load.
Even if the motorcycle is correctly loaded, drive with caution and never exceed 120 km/h (74.4
mph) when you carry a load.
