_
Proper loading of your motorcycle is
important for several characteristics
of your motorcycle, such as han-
dling, braking, performance and
safety. Do not carry loosely packed
items that can shift. Securely pack
your heaviest items close to the cen-
ter of the motorcycle, and distribute
the weight evenly from side to side.
Properly adjust the suspension for
your load, and check the condition
and pressure of your tires. NEVER
OVERLOAD YOUR MOTORCYCLE.
