Saddlebags and Other Storage

Whenever operating a motorcycle equipped with cargo storage features such as saddlebags, racks, glove boxes or other storage compartments:
  • Never ride at excessive speeds. Storage features and cargo, combined with the lifting or buffeting effects of wind, can make a motorcycle unstable and cause loss of control.
  • Distribute weight evenly on each side of the motorcycle.
  • Do not exceed the individual weight limit of any saddlebag or other storage compartment. Refer to the storage capacity label located on or near the storage feature.
  • NEVER EXCEED the GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) or the GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR), regardless of whether or not any storage feature is loaded to capacity. Exceeding the weight rating can reduce stability and handling and cause loss of control.
  • Adjust ride height as needed. See Shock Preload Adjustment.
