impair
motorcycle, must be securely attached
and must not extend beyond the rear
or sides of the motorcycle.
Carrying objects in excess of the
above weights, that are insecure,

lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.

cause loss of control leading to an
accident.

front fork will increase the mass of the
steering assembly and can result in
loss of steering control leading to an
accident.

Warning
Always make sure that any loads
carried are evenly distributed on both
sides of the motorcycle. Make sure
that the load is correctly secured so
that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
Evenly distribute the load within each
pannier (if equipped). Pack heavy items
at the bottom and on the inboard side
of the pannier.
Always
check
regularly
(though
motorcycle is in motion) and make
sure that the load does not extend
beyond the rear of the motorcycle.
Never exceed the maximum vehicle
loading weight as specified in the
Specifications section.
This maximum loading weight is made
up from the combined weight of the
rider, any accessories installed and
any load carried.
For models that have adjustable sus-
pension settings, make sure that front
and rear spring preload and damping
settings are suitable for the loading
condition of the motorcycle. Note the
maximum permissible payload for the
panniers is stated on a label inside the
pannier.
