CARGO AND PASSENGER WEIGHT
2006 MASTIFF
GENERAL INFORMATION
KEEP CARGO WEIGHT CONCENTRATED CLOSE TO THE MOTORCYCLE AND AS LOW AS POSSIBLE
TO MINIMIZE ANY CHANGE TO CENTER OF GRAVITY (BALANCE POINT). DISTRIBUTE WEIGHT
EVENLY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND DO NOT LOAD BULKY ITEMS OR ADD
WEIGHT TO THE HANDLEBARS OR FRONT FORKS. DO NOT EXCEED 15 POUNDS MAXIMUM LOAD
IN EACH SADDLEBAG. IMPROPER LOADING CAN CAUSE VEHICLE HANDLING PROBLEMS AND
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
CARRYING TRAVEL GEAR
Overloading, particularly at the rear of a motorcycle,
can cause instability. Carefully check any approved accessories for the maximum weight
capacities. Luggage racks are designed for light weight items only. Do not overload racks.
Be sure cargo is secure and will not shift while riding. Recheck load periodically.
The addition of accessories and additional weight to the motorcycle can affect the stability,
handling characteristics and safe operating speed. Because Big Dog Motorcycles cannot
test and make specific recommendations concerning every accessory or combination of
accessories, riders must be responsible for safe operation of the motorcycle when operating
with accessories or carrying additional weight.
The following guidelines should be used when equipping your motorcycle with accessories
or carrying a passenger and cargo:
