Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety character-
istics of your motorcycle, you
should keep the following precau-
tions in mind.
8 NEVER OVERLOAD THE
MOTORCYCLE! Operation of
an overloaded motorcycle may
result in tire damage, loss of
control, or severe injury. Make
sure that the total weight of
rider, passenger, cargo, and
accessories does not exceed
the specified maximum load
for the vehicle.
8 Do not carry along loosely
packed items, which can shift
during a ride.
8 Securely pack the heaviest
items close to the center of the
motorcycle and distribute the
weight evenly on both sides.
