be distributed in four points (A, B, C, and D)
and should never exceed the maximum load
capacity of 130 kg. This will assure higher
stability, better drivability and more comfort.

Loading guidelines
Your vehicle is primarily intended for
transporting you and a pillion. If you wish to
carry cargo, check with your Authorised
workshop for advice and be sure to
MotoCorp
read the information regarding accessories on
(page 13).
Improperly loading your vehicle can affect its
stability and handling. Even if your vehicle is
properly loaded, you should ride at reduced
speeds whenever carrying cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a
pillion or cargo:
Keep cargo and accessory weight low and
•
close to the center of the vehicle. Load
weight equally on both sides to minimize
imbalance. As weight is located further from
the vehicle's center of gravity, handling is
proportionally affected.
Adjust tyre pressure (page 64) to suit load
•
weight and riding conditions.
Vehicle handling and stability can be
•
adversely affected by loose cargo. Recheck
cargo security and accessory mounts
frequently.
Do not attach large or heavy items to the
•
handlebars, front fork or fender. Unstable
handling or slow steering response may
resul
