9Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to
deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leak or loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important
that, in addition to a thorough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several character-
istics of your motorcycle; such as
handling, braking, performance
and safety. Do not carry loosely
packed items that can shift.
Securely pack your heaviest items
close to the center of the motorcy-
cle, and distribute the weight
evenly from side to side. Check the
condition and pressure of your
tires. NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR
MOTORCYCLE. Make sure the
total weight of the cargo, rider,
passenger, and accessories (fair-
ing, saddlebags, etc. if approved
for this model) does not exceed
the maximum load of the motorcy-
cle. Operation of an overloaded
motorcycle could cause tire dam-
age, an accident, or even injury.
* Load is the total weight of cargo, rider, passen-
ger, and accessories.

To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:
1. Tire air pressure
Always check and adjust the
tire pressure before operating
the motorcycle.
EW000082

Tire inflation pressure should be
checked and adjusted when the
temperature of the tire equals the
ambient air temperature. Tire infla-
tion pressure must be adjusted
according to total weight of cargo,
rider, passenger, and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc. if
approved for this model), and vehi-
cle speed.
