Cargo Limitations
One reason why passengers are prohib-
ited on ATV’s is because their presence
throws off the weight and balance of
the ATV. Cargo can do the same if it
weighs too much. Limit the ATV to the
load capacity ratings identified in the
following chart. So if you’re weighing
in at over 200 lb (91 kg) when you ride,
leave some of that extra cargo at home.
The combined weight limit, including
you, your rack cargo, and your trailer,
is a specified amount, so consult the
Load Capacity Ratings Chart and mon-
itor it carefully.
Extra weight on the ATV will also
throw you off balance if it’s not distrib-
uted evenly, side-to-side and front-to-
rear. If you have 160 lb (73 kg) on the
rear rack only and you’re heading up
an incline, shifting your own weight
forward isn’t going to do enough to
compensate for that cargo sitting over
the back tires.
Cargo has such a huge affect on ATV
handling that you need to pay a lot of
attention to your speed. Even on really
level areas, you should keep it under 10
mph (16 kph) if you’ve got a trailer
attached. Avoid uneven terrain. Also,
consider that your braking distance is
going to increase with the more weight
you carry.

Speedrack
When installing Speedrack accesso-
ries, make sure to read and carefully
follow the instructions provided in
each kit.

NOTE: Use extra caution when
operating an ATV with additional
loads such as accessories and/or
cargo. Handling of the ATV may be
adversely affected. Reduce speed
when adding additional loads
.
Think about these when dealing
with cargo:
1. Rack weight limit
2. Trailer weight limit
3. Weight distribution
4. ATV speed
