Changes in Load

Changes in the load carried requires changes in the pre-
load settings. Carrying less weight than was used for
setting up the suspension requires decreasing the amount
of preload. Increasing the load carried requires adding
more preload.
Do not exceed the motorcycles Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR). Exceeding these weight ratings can affect
stability and handling, which could result in death or
serious injury.
 GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle,
accessories, and the maximum weight of the rider,
and cargo that can be safely carried.

GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can
be safely carried on each axle.
 The GVWR and GAWR are shown on the infor-
mation plate, located on the frame steering head.
