Honda VTX1300T 2009 Owner's Manual page 45

Follow these guidelines whenever you
carry a passenger or cargo:
Check that both tires are properly
inflated, and that pressure in the rear
tire is increased to suit the load
(page 126 ).
If you change your normal load, you
may need to adjust the rear suspension
(page 119 ).
To prevent loose items from creating a
hazard, make sure that all cargo is tied
down securely before you ride.
Place cargo weight as low and close to
the center of your motorcycle as
possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both
sides.
Load Limits & Guidelines
Do not attach large or heavy items (such
as a sleeping bag or tent) to the
handlebar, forks, or fender.
Make sure both saddlebags are securely
closed ( VTX1300T only).
