Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

WARNING
Exceeding the gross vehicle weight rating of your motorcycle can reduce stability and handling and could cause loss of control. NEVER exceed the GVWR of your motorcycle.
The maximum load capacity of your motorcycle is the maximum weight you may add to your motorcycle without exceeding the GVWR. This capacity is determined by calculating the difference between your motorcycle’s GVWR and wet weight.
Refer to the Specifications section of this manual or the Manufacturing Information/VIN label on the motorcycle frame for model-specific information.
When determining the weight you will be adding to your motorcycle, and to ensure you do not exceed the maximum load capacity, include the following:
  • Operator body weight
  • Passenger body weight
  • Weight of all rider’s apparel and items in or on apparel
  • Weight of any post-production accessories and their contents
  • Weight of any additional cargo on the motorcycle
