Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety characteris-
tics of your motorcycle, you should
keep the following precautions in
mind.
●
NEVER
OVERLOAD
THE

●
Adjust the suspension and tire
air pressure with regard to the
load.
●
Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.
