Load Limits & Guidelines
Follow these guidelines whenever you
carry a passenger or cargo:
Check that both tires are properly
inflated (page 107
If you change your normal load, you
may need to adjust the rear suspension
(page 99 ).
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.
Do not attach large or heavy items (such
as a sleeping bag or tent) to the
handlebar, forks, or fender.
