Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
Gross vehicle weight is the total combined weight of the motorcycle, the operator and the passenger.**
S The weight of the motorcycle includes the motorcycle and all of its fluids, any accessories and their contents, and
any additional cargo on the motorcycle.
S The weight of the operator or passenger includes body weight, all apparel and objects in or on apparel.
Examples of calculating GVWR are provided on the following pages:
VEGAS / NESS SIGNATURE SERIES VEGAS / VEGAS EIGHT BALL
KINGPIN / NESS SIGNATURE SERIES KINGPIN
Do not exceed the motorcycle's gross vehicle weight rating. Exceeding the weight rating can reduce stability and
handling and could cause loss of control.
Refer to the specifications section of this manual (beginning on page 158) or the certification label on your
motorcycle's steering head for model-specific GVWR information.
NOTE: **Some models such as the VEGAS EIGHT BALL are not equipped from the factory with a passenger seat
or passenger footrests. DO NOT carry a passenger on the VEGAS EIGHT BALL model unless properly equipped.
