Riding the Vehicle with Maximum Permissible
Load
Your motorcycle is designed to travel safely over long
distances with maximum permissible load. Even
weight distribution of loads is critical for preserving
the safety features of the vehicle and to avoid trouble
when performing sudden maneuvers. Ensure front
and rear suspension spring preload and damping
settings are suitable, for different loading conditions
(ref. page 118).
Information on Maximum Load
The total weight of the motorcycle during running
including rider, pillion, luggage and additional
accessories should not exceed:
299.5 kg.
Arrange your luggage and other accessories in the
lowest possible portion (should not affect the ground
clearance) and close to the centre of the motorcycle.
Secure your luggage firmly with the motorcycle.
Improperly secured luggage may affect the stability.
Never attach bulky or heavy objects to the steering
head or front mudguard, as this can cause dangerous
instability.
Do not insert any material into the gaps of the frame,
where they could interfere with the moving parts.
Ensure that the tyres are inflated to the specified
pressure (ref. page 135) and they are in good
condition.
Incorrect setting of front and rear suspension
preload and damping, may lead to loss of stability
and control, leading to an accident.
