Maximum load Your motorcycle is designed for travelling over long distances, with maximum load, and in complete safety. Even weight distribution is critical for preserving safety standards, and to avoid getting into difficulties when making sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads. E Information on load capacity The total weight of the motorcycle in running order including rider, passenger, luggage and additional accessories, should not exceed: 390 kg. Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and at the centre of the motorcycle if possible. Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports provided on the motorcycle as firmly as possible. Improperly secured luggage may affect stability. Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the handlebar or to the front mud guard, as this would make the motorcycle dangerously unstable. Do not place any objects you need to take with you into gaps in the frame, where they could interfere with moving parts. Check that the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure, as indicated on page 59 and that they are in good condition. fig. 1 fig. 2 8
