Load Limits & Guidelines
Before Riding
Follow these guidelines whenever you
carry a passenger or cargo:
To prevent loose items from creating a
hazard, make sure that all cargo is tied
down securely before you ride.
Place cargo weight as low and close to
the center of your motorcycle as
possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both
sides.
Check that both tires are properly
inflated, and that pressure in the rear
tire is increased to suit the load (page
).
If you change your normal load, you
may need to adjust the rear suspension
(page
).
Do not attach large or heavy items (such
as a sleeping bag or tent) to the
handlebar, forks, or fender.
