Riding With A Full Load - Ducati MONSTER S2R 1000 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 close to the centre of the motorcycle.
Secure the luggage firmly to the motorcycle structure.
Luggage incorrectly secured may cause the motorcycle
to become unstable.
Never fix 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 61 and that they are in good condition.
