Overloading or carrying a passenger can cause
a crash and you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines
in this manual.
Load Limits
Following are the load limits for your motorcycle:
Maximum weight capacity:
100 kg (220 lb)
Includes the weight of the rider and any accessories.
The weight of added accessories will reduce the
maximum cargo weight you can carry.
Loading Guidelines
As previously discussed, we recommend that you do
not carry any cargo on this motorcycle. However, if
you decide to carry cargo, ride at reduced speeds and
follow these common-sense guidelines:
Keep cargo small and light. Make sure it cannot
easily be caught on brush or other objects, and that
it does not interfere with your ability to shift position
to maintain balance and stability.
Place weight as close to the center of the motorcycle
as possible.
Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a
sleeping bag or tent) to the handlebar, fork, or front
fender.
Make sure that all cargo is tied down securely.
Never exceed the maximum weight limit.
Check that both tyres are inflated properly (page
25).
