Load Limits and Guidelines
GENERAL INFORMATION
Your Empulse has been designed to carry you and only one
passenger. When you carry a passenger or cargo, you may feel some
difference during acceleration and braking, but as long as you keep
your Empulse well-maintained, with good tires and brakes, you can
safely carry loads within the given limits and guidelines.
LOADING
How much weight you put on your Empulse, and how you load it,
are important for your safety. Any time you ride with a passenger or
cargo, you should be aware of the following information.
Loading Guidelines
The maximum loading weight capacity for your Empulse is 313 lbs
(142 kg) This includes the weight of the rider, passenger, all cargo,
and any accessories installed.
Your Empulse is primarily intended for transporting you and a
passenger. Light weight or small items (for example, a jacket) may be
secured to the seat, but If you wish to carry more cargo, we
recommend using saddle bags or a top trunk. Check with your
Brammo Authorized Dealer for the complete range of Brammo
approved accessories.
Improperly loading your Empulse can affect its stability and
handling. Even if your Empulse is properly loaded, you should ride at
reduced speeds when carrying cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you carry cargo:
• Check that both tires are properly inflated.
• If you change your normal load, you may need to adjust the
suspension.
• To prevent loose items from creating a hazard, make sure that all
cargo is tied down securely.
• Place cargo weight as low and close to the center of your
Empulse as possible.
• Distribute cargo weight evenly on both sides.
WARNING
Overloading or improper loading can cause a crash and you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this manual.
