Carrying the maximum load allowed
Your motorcycle is designed for long-distance riding,
carrying the maximum load allowed in full safety.
Even weight distribution is critical to preserving
these safety features and avoiding trouble when
performing sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy
roads.
Attention
Do not exceed the total permitted weight for
the motorcycle and pay attention to information
provided below regarding load capacity.
Information about carrying capacity
Important
Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in
the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle
centre.
Important
Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the
handlebar or to the front mudguard as this would
affect stability and cause danger.
Important
Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports
provided on the motorcycle as firmly as possible.
Improperly secured luggage may affect stability.
Important
Do not insert any objects you may need to carry
into the gaps of the frame as these may foul moving
parts.
Attention
Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper
pressure and that they are in good condition.

“Main use and maintenance operations” section and
