A motorcycle is a relatively ‘hostile environment’ for luggage and the following general guidelines are provided to
ensure that the luggage performs as the manufacturer intended. As with all types of luggage, users should always
pay particular attention to the manufacturer’s own safety, fitment and usage instructions included with this product.
LOADING Always ensure that luggage is loaded as evenly as possible and within the stated
maximum capacity and weight limits. Heavy objects should be loaded at the bottom
and particular care should be taken with sharp objects to avoid damaging the luggage.
Dependent on the type and specification of the luggage, the contents may have to be
protected against the elements (e.g. water, dirt, etc.) by wrapping in plastic bags for example.
FITMENT All adjacent surfaces of the motorcycle should be clean and smooth to avoid possible
abrasion. Where the possibility of abrasion exists, the necessary precautions should be
taken - see page 18. The luggage should be securely attached to the motorcycle and
should be mounted clear of moving parts and sources of heat such as engine and exhaust
system(s).It is recommended that riders check the security/mounting of luggage at regular
intervals throughout their journey.
RAINCOVERS Where rain covers are fitted. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure rain covers are fitted
safely and correctly (see fitment advice above) i.e insure that they are fitted snugly to the
luggage and are not left baggy and able to fill with air when on the move.
USAGE
As the fitment of luggage may affect the stability or operating characteristics of the
motorcycle, riders should always heed the stated recommended maximum speeds for
both solo and ‘two-up’ use. Care should also be taken with luggage that uses magnetic
mountings as these may affect items containing magnetic data such as credit cards, film,
etc. This luggage has been designed for universal fitment on motorcycles, for road use only.
PRODUCT To ensure longevity of the luggage, the manufacturer’s own cleaning and storage instructions
should always be observed.
IMPORTANT
The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damage caused to the vehicle, the luggage
or its contents arising out of its misuse or any failure to fit and use it in accordance with the
above guidelines and the manufacturer’s special instructions.
