Accessories and Loading
ACCESSORIES AND LOADING
The addition of accessories and carriage of additional weight can affect the motorcycle's
handling characteristics causing changes in stability and necessitating a reduction in speed. The
following information has been prepared as a guide to the potential hazards of adding
accessories to a motorcycle and carrying passengers and additional loads.
Warning
Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe
riding condition leading to an accident.
Always ensure any loads carried are evenly
distributed on both sides of the motorcycle.
Ensure that the load is correctly secured
such that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
Always check the load security regularly
(though not while the motorcycle is in
motion) and ensure that the load does not
extend beyond the rear of the motorcycle.
Never exceed the maximum vehicle
loading weight of 215 kg.
This maximum loading weight is made up
from the combined weight of the rider,
passenger, any accessories fitted and any
load carried.
Warning
Do not install accessories or carry luggage
that impairs the control of the motorcycle.
Make sure that you have not adversely
affected the visibility of any lighting
component, road clearance, banking
capability (i.e. lean angle), control
operation, wheel travel, ABS where fitted,
front fork movement, visibility in any
direction, or any other aspect of the
motorcycle's operation.
Warning
Never ride an accessory equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess of
80 mph (130 km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.
The presence of accessories and/or
payload will cause changes in the stability
and handling of the motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in motorcycle
stability may lead to loss of control or an
accident. Remember that the 80 mph
(130 km/h) absolute limit will reduce by
the fitting of non-approved accessories,
incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall
motorcycle condition and poor road or
weather conditions.
Warning
This motorcycle must not be operated
above the legal road speed limit except in
authorised closed-course conditions.
