Warning
After fitting or removing the panniers,
operate the motorcycle in a safe area
free from traffic to gain familiarity with
the new handling characteristics.
Operation when not familiar with the
new characteristics of the motorcycle
may result in loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
Incorrect loading may result in an
unsafe riding condition leading to loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Always make sure that any loads
carried are evenly distributed on both
sides of the motorcycle. Make sure
that the load is correctly secured such
that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
Evenly distribute the load within each
pannier. Pack heavy items at the
bottom and on the inboard side of the
pannier.
Always check the load security
regularly (though not while the
motorcycle is in motion) and make sure
that the load does not extend beyond
the rear of the motorcycle. Never
exceed the maximum vehicle loading
weight of:
Tiger 1200 XR - 230 kg (507 lb)

This maximum loading weight is made
up from the combined weight of the

and any load carried.
Warning
For models that have manually
adjustable suspension, make sure that
front and rear spring preload and
damping settings are suitable for the
loading condition of the motorcycle
(see
page 192
).
Note the maximum permissible payload
for the panniers is stated on a label
inside the pannier.
