General Information
Note:
•
Due to the effective nature of the
pannier lid seal, reasonable force
may be required to close the lid to
the second latch position.
To close and lock the pannier, close the lid
until the second 'click' is heard. Turn the key
to the LOCK position and remove it.
Caution
The pannier lid has two latch positions; the
first latch position acts as a safety catch.
Always ensure the pannier lid is fully closed
on to the second latch position, as the
pannier will not fully seal on the first latch
position. Riding the motorcycle with the
pannier lid in this position may allow water
or dust ingress into the pannier, causing
damage to the pannier contents.
Warning
The maximum safe load for each pannier
is 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs). Never exceed this
loading limit as this may cause the
motorcycle to become unstable leading to
loss of control and an accident.
Warning
The two panniers fitted to this motorcycle
are designed to be fitted as a pair. Never
ride the motorcycle with only one pannier
installed. Riding the motorcycle with one
pannier installed may cause the motorcycle
to become unstable leading to loss of
control and an accident.
Warning
The two panniers fitted to this motorcycle
are linked by a factory-adjusted link bar to
enhance stability. This link bar allows a
small amount of sideways pannier
movement, independently of the
motorcycle.
Do not remove or adjust the link bar as
motorcycle stability will be affected. Riding
the motorcycle with the link bar removed
or incorrectly adjusted may cause the
motorcycle to become unstable leading to
loss of control and an accident.
Warning
Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe
riding condition leading to an accident.
Always ensure any loads carried are evenly
distributed on both sides of the motorcycle.
Ensure that the load is correctly secured
such that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
Always check the load security regularly
(though not while the motorcycle is in
motion) and ensure that the load does not
extend beyond the rear of the motorcycle.
Never exceed the maximum vehicle
loading weight of:
•
Sprint ST - 215 kg (473 lbs);
•
Sprint GT - 215 kg (473 lbs).
This maximum loading weight is made up
from the combined weight of the rider,
passenger, any accessories fitted and any
load carried.
