Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
WARNING! Exceeding the gross vehicle weight rating of your motorcycle can reduce stability and han-
dling and could cause loss of control. NEVER exceed the GVWR of your motorcycle.
The maximum load capacity of your motorcycle is the maximum weight you may add to
your motorcycle without exceeding the GVWR. This capacity is determined by calculating
the difference between your motorcycle’s GVWR and wet weight.
Refer to the specification section of this manual or the Manufacturing Information/VIN label
on the motorcycle frame for model-specific information. Refer to the “Safety and Informa-
tion Labels” section in this manual for location on the motorcycle.
When determining the weight you will be adding to your motorcycle, and to ensure you do
not exceed the maximum load capacity, include the following:
• operator body weight
• passenger body weight
• weight of all riders’ apparel and items in or on apparel
• weight of any accessories and their contents
• weight of any additional cargo on the motorcycle
