WARNING
Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety characteris-
tics of your vehicle, you should keep
the following precautions in mind.
G NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHI-
CLE! Operation of an overload-
ed vehicle may result in tire
damage, loss of control, or se-
vere injury. Make sure that the
total weight of rider, passenger,
cargo, and accessories does
not exceed the specified maxi-
mum load for the vehicle.
G
Do not carry along loosely
packed items, which can shift
during a ride.
G Securely pack the heaviest
items close to the center of the
vehicle and distribute
weight evenly on both sides.
G
Adjust the tire air pressure with
regard to the load.
G Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.
