Carrying Cargo
Use the following guidelines when attaching cargo or accessories to the motorcycle. Where
applicable, these guidelines also refer to the contents of any accessories.
• Keep cargo and accessory weight to a minimum, and keep items as close to the motorcycle
as possible to minimize a change in the motorcycle’s center of gravity. Changing the cen-
ter of gravity can cause loss of stability and handling and could cause loss of control.
• Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the motorcycle. Maintain even weight distribu-
tion by checking accessories and cargo to make sure they’re securely attached to the
motorcycle before riding and whenever you take a break from riding. Uneven weight dis-
tribution, or accessories or cargo that shift suddenly while you’re riding can make the
motorcycle hard to handle and could cause loss of control.
