Riding With A Full Load - Ducati MONSTER 695 Use And Maintenance Manual

Riding with a full load

Your motorcycle is designed for travelling over long
distances with a full load in complete safety.
Even weight distribution is critical for maintaining safety
standards, and to avoid getting into difficulties when making
sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.
Information on load capacity
E
The total weight of the motorcycle in running order with
rider, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed
390 kg.
Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest
possible position and as close to centre of the motorcycle
as possible.
Secure the luggage firmly to the motorcycle structure.
Luggage incorrectly secured may cause the motorcycle
to become unstable.
Never attach bulky or heavy objects to the top yoke or
front mudguard, as this would cause dangerous instability.
Do not insert objects into gaps in the frame, where they
could interfere with moving parts.
Check that the tyres are inflated to the pressure indicated
on page 54 and that they are in good condition.
