General Information
To install the panniers
Position the pannier against the pannier rail.
Ensure that the pannier lower mountings are
correctly aligned with the pannier rail and the
quick release fixings are correctly located into
the pannier rail.
Lock the pannier to the rail by turning the
two quick release fixings 90° clockwise. The
slots in the fixings must be vertically aligned
to ensure that they are locked.
Pannier Quick Release Fixings
Correctly Locked
Warning
Always ensure the panniers are secure and
the quick release fixings are locked. A
loose or detached pannier could cause loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Always ensure the pannier lids are securely
closed on both latches. An open pannier
lid may cause the motorcycle to become
unstable leading to loss of control and an
accident.
Warning
The maximum safe load for each pannier
is 7 kg (15.4 lbs). Never exceed this
loading limit as this may cause the
motorcycle to become unstable leading to
loss of control and an accident.
Warning
Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe
riding condition leading to an accident.
Always ensure any loads carried are evenly
distributed on both sides of the motorcycle.
Ensure that the load is correctly secured
such that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
Always check the load security regularly
(though not while the motorcycle is in
motion) and ensure that the load does not
extend beyond the rear of the motorcycle.
Never exceed the maximum vehicle
loading weight of 220 kg.
This maximum loading weight is made up
from the combined weight of the rider,
passenger, any accessories fitted and any
load carried in the panniers.
