General Information
Warning
Always ensure the pannier lids are securely
closed on both latches. An open pannier
lid may cause the motorcycle to become
unstable leading to loss of control and an
accident.
Warning
The maximum safe load for each pannier
is 7 kg (15.4 lbs). Never exceed this
loading limit as this may cause the
motorcycle to become unstable leading to
loss of control and an accident.
Warning
Incorrect loading may result in an unsafe
riding condition leading to an accident.
Always ensure any loads carried are evenly
distributed on both sides of the motorcycle.
Ensure that the load is correctly secured
such that it will not move around while the
motorcycle is in motion.
Always check the load security regularly
(though not while the motorcycle is in
motion) and ensure that the load does not
extend beyond the rear of the motorcycle.
Never exceed the maximum vehicle
loading weight of 220 kg.
This maximum loading weight is made up
from the combined weight of the rider,
passenger, any accessories fitted and any
load carried in the panniers.

Warning
After fitting or removing the panniers,
operate the motorcycle in a safe area free
from traffic to gain familiarity with the new
handling characteristics. Operation when
not familiar with the new characteristics of
the motorcycle may result in loss of control
and an accident.
Warning
Never ride an accessory
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h).
In either/both of these conditions, speeds
in excess of 80 mph (130 km/h) should
not be attempted even where the legal
speed limit permits this.
The presence of accessories
payload will cause changes in the stability
and handling of the motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in motorcycle
stability may lead to loss of control or an
accident.
Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)
absolute limit will be reduced by the fitting
of non-approved accessories, incorrect
loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle
condition and poor road or weather
conditions.
Warning
This motorcycle must not be operated
above the legal road speed limit except in
authorised closed-course conditions.
