WARNING
Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several characteris-
tics 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 motorcycle, and dis-
tribute the weight evenly from side
to side. Properly adjust the suspen-
sion for your load, and check the
condition and pressure of your
tires. NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR
MOTORCYCLE. Make sure the total
weight of the cargo, rider, passen-
ger, and accessories (fairing, sad-
dlebags, etc. if approved for this
model) does not exceed the maxi-
mum load of the motorcycle. Opera-
tion of an overloaded motorcycle
could cause tire damage, an acci-dent, or even injury.
