RIDING & LOADING GUIDELINES
Load limits
These specifications are the load limits for your Quannon motor-
cycle. These general guidelines may help you decide how to add
accessories to your motorcycle and how to load it properly.
Loading guidelines
Improperly loading your motorcycle will affect its stability and han-
dling.You should ride at reduced speeds when you are carrying a
passenger or cargo. Follow these guidelines whenever you carry
a passenger or cargo:
•Check that both tires are properly inflated
•To prevent loose items from creating a hazard, make
sure all cargo is securely tied down before you ride
•Balance cargo weight evenly on the motorcycle
Your riding position
The riding stability of your motorcycle is influenced by your
riding position. When riding, you should sit on the center of the
seat. If you sit on the rear of the seat you could reduce the
amount of weight on the front wheel. This could affect the han-
dling and steering characteristics of the motorcycle.
Your motorcycle will turn more smoothly if you lean your body
into the turn. Use caution with extreme leaning or handlebar
inputs that could upset the chassis.
When riding your motorcycle on a rough or slippery road, re-
duce your speed and hold the handlebars firmly. Be prepared
to brake or turn to avoid a road hazard.
Overloading will affect the motorcycle’s stability and handling,
be sure to stay within the limits given below:
Maximum weight capacity (Includes the weight of the rider,
passenger, cargo and accessories): ...... 810 lbs (368 kg)
Maximum cargo weight:........................... 308 Ibs (140 kg)
Overloading or improper loading will affect vehicle han-
dling, stability and braking, and can lead to an accident.
Never exceed the stated load capacity of your motorcycle.
Cargo should be properly distributed and securely at-
tached. Reduce speed when carrying cargo. Allow greater
distance for braking.
