Accessories, Loading and Passengers
110
Warning
Never ride an accessory equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess
of 80 mph (130 km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.
The presence of accessories and/
or payload will cause changes in
the stability and handling of the
motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in
motorcycle stability may lead to loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
When riding at high speed, always
be aware that various motorcycle
configuration and environmental
factors can adversely affect the
stability of your motorcycle. For
example:
-
Incorrectly balanced loads on both
sides of the motorcycle
- Incorrectly adjusted front and rear
suspension settings
- Incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures
- Excessively or unevenly worn tyres
-
Side winds and turbulence from
other vehicles
- Loose clothing.
Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)
absolute limit will be reduced by the
fitting of non-approved accessories,
incorrect loading, worn tyres, overall
motorcycle condition and poor road or
weather conditions.
Loading
Warning
Incorrect loading may result in an
unsafe riding condition leading to an
accident.
Always make sure that any loads
carried are evenly distributed on both
sides of the motorcycle. Make sure
that the load is correctly secured so
that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
Evenly distribute the load within each
pannier (if fitted). 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 as specified in the
Specifications section.
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 adjustable
suspension settings, make sure that
front and rear spring preload and
damping settings are suitable for the
loading condition of the motorcycle.
Note the maximum permissible payload
for the panniers is stated on a label
inside the pannier.
