Do not exceed the motorcycle's Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR). Exceeding these weight ratings can affect
stability and handling, which could result in death or
serious injury.
-The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) are shown on the infor-
mation label located on the frame steering head. GVWR
is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle and accesso-
ries and the maximum weight of the rider and cargo that
may be carried safely. Do not pull a trailer with this mo-
torcycle. GAWR is the amount of weight that can on
each axle safely. Do not exceed the GVWR or GAWR
as indicated on the frame label.
-Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcy-
cle as low as possible to minimize the change in the mo-
torcycle's center of gravity. Distribute weight evenly on
both sides of the vehicle and do not load bulky items too
far behind the rider, or add weight to the handlebars or
front forks.
Be sure cargo is secure and will not shift while riding. Pe-
riodically recheck load.
Accessories that change the operator's riding position can
increase reaction time and adversely affect handling. Only
use such items if they are designed and approved by EBR,
built specifically for your motorcycle and installed proper-
ly.
Additional electrical equipment can overload the motorcy-
cle's electrical system and cause an unsafe operating con-
dition.
Large surfaces, such as fairings, windshields, backrests
and luggage racks, can affect handling. These items should
be designed and approved by EBR specifically for the mo-
torcycle model and properly installed.
