Carrying the maximum load allowed

Your motorcycle is designed for long-distance riding,
carrying the maximum load allowed in full safety.
Even weight distribution is critical to preserving these
safety features and avoiding trouble when performing
sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.
Warning
The maximum speed permitted with the side
panniers, the top case and the tank bag fitted must
not exceed 180 km/h (112 mph) and at any rate it must
comply with the applicable statutory speed limits.
Warning
Do not exceed the total permitted weight for the
motorcycle and pay attention to information provided
below regarding load capacity.

Information about carrying capacity

Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in
the lowest possible position and close to motorcycle
centre.
Important
Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the
handlebar or to the front mudguard as this would
affect stability and cause danger.
Important
Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports
provided on the motorcycle as firmly as possible.
Improperly secured luggage may affect stability.

pressure and that they are in good condition.
