Warning
Continued
Always make sure that any loads
carried are evenly distributed on both
sides of the motorcycle. Make sure
that the load is correctly secured such
that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
Evenly distribute the load within each
pannier. 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 of:
Tiger 1200 XR - 507 lb (230 kg)
Tiger 1200 XRx - 502 lb (228 kg)
Tiger 1200 XRx-LRH - 507 lb (230 kg)
Tiger 1200 XRT - 502 lb (228 kg)
Tiger 1200 XCx - 491 lb (223 kg)
Tiger 1200 XCA - 493 lb (224 kg).
This maximum loading weight is made
up from the combined weight of the
rider, passenger, any accessories
installed and any load carried.
For models that have manually
adjustable suspension, make sure that
front and rear spring preload and
damping settings are suitable for the
loading condition of the motorcycle
(see page
Note the maximum permissible payload
for the panniers is stated on a label
inside the pannier.
Warning
The maximum safe load for each
pannier is stated on a label inside the
pannier.
Never exceed this loading limit as this
may cause the motorcycle to become
unstable leading to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
The maximum safe load for the top box
is stated on a label inside the top box.
Never exceed this loading limit as this
may cause the motorcycle to become
unstable leading to loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
Never attempt to store any items
between the frame and the fuel tank.
This can restrict the steering and will
cause loss of motorcycle control
leading to an accident.
Weight attached to the handlebar or
front fork will increase the mass of the
steering assembly and can result in
loss of steering control leading to an
accident.
