Warning
Continued
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)
Tiger 1200 XRx - 228 kg (502 lb)
Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH - 230 kg (507 lb)
Tiger 1200 XRT - 228 kg (502 lb)
Tiger 1200 XCx - 223 kg (491 lb)
Tiger 1200 XCA - 224 kg (493 lb).
This maximum loading weight is made
up from the combined weight of the
rider, passenger, any accessories fitted
and any load carried.
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.
Warning
The maximum safe load for each
pannier is stated on a label inside the
pannier.
Never exceed this loading limit as this
may cause the motorcycle to become
unstable leading to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
