Reduced clearance in
inclined position
with low-slung
OE
Motorcycles with lowered running
gear have less ground clearance
in all positions than motorcycles
with standard running gear.
WARNING
When cornering with low-
ered motorcycles, motorcycle
parts can contact the road
surface sooner than normal.
Accident hazard
Carefully test the clearance of
the motorcycle in an inclined
position and adjust your riding
style accordingly.
Test the clearance of your mo-
torcycle at an angle in safe sit-
uations. Remember to take the
limited ground clearance of your
motorcycle into account when
driving over curbs and similar ob-
stacles.
The lowering of the motorcycle
shortens the spring travel (see
the chapter "Technical Data"). A
possible reduction in the accus-
tomed driving comfort may re-
sult. Especially when riding with
a passenger, the spring preload
should be adjusted accordingly.

WARNING
Reduced riding stability
caused by overloading and
uneven loading
Accident hazard
Do not exceed the gross
weight limit and observe the
loading information.
Adjust spring preload and
damping rate for the current
gross vehicle weight.
