ACCESSORIES, LOADING AND PASSENGERS
80
WARNING
Always make sure that any loads
carried are evenly distributed on both
sides of the motorcycle. Make sure
that the load is correctly secured so
that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
Evenly distribute the load within each
pannier (if equipped). Pack heavy items
at the bottom and on the inboard side
of the pannier.
Always check the load security
regularly (though not while the
motorcycle is in motion) and make
sure that the load does not extend
beyond the rear of the motorcycle.
Never exceed the maximum vehicle
loading weight as specified in the
Specifications section.
This maximum loading weight is made
up from the combined weight of the
rider, passenger, any accessories
installed and any load carried.
For models that have adjustable
suspension settings, make sure that
front and rear spring preload and
damping settings are suitable for the
loading condition of the motorcycle.
Note the maximum permissible payload
for the panniers is stated on a label
inside the pannier.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
Passengers

WARNING
The handling and braking capabilities
of a motorcycle will be affected by the
presence of a passenger.
The rider must make allowances for
these changes when operating the
motorcycle with a passenger and
should not attempt such operation
unless trained to do so and without
becoming familiar and comfortable
with the changes in motorcycle
operating characteristics that this
brings about.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
