EWA00012WARNING0
Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking, per-
formance and safety characteristics of
your motorcycle, you should keep the
following precautions in mind.
•NEVER OVERLOAD THE MOTOR-
CYCLE! Operation of an over-
loaded motorcycle may result in
tire damage, loss of control, or
severe injury. Make sure that the
total weight of rider, passenger,
cargo, and accessories does not
exceed the specified maximum
load for the vehicle.
•Do not carry along loosely packed
items, which can shift during a
ride.
•Securely pack the heaviest items
close to the center of the motorcy-
cle and distribute the weight even-
ly on both sides.
•Adjust the suspension and tire air
pressure with regard to the load.
•Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.

Tires
To maximize the performance, durability,
and safe operation of your motorcycle,
note the following points regarding the
specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted before each
ride.
EW000082WARNING0
•The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold tires
(i.e., when the temperature of the
tires equals the ambient tempera-
ture).
•The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with the
riding speed and with the total
weight of rider, passenger, cargo,
and accessories approved for this
model.

Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction modifiers.
Passenger car motor oils (often labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING II”)
contain anti-friction additives which will cause clutch and/ or starter
clutch slippage, resulting in reduced component life and poor
engine performance.8
