WARNING

Overloading the motorcycle with cargo and passengers, and/or not balancing the weight of items carried in each saddlebag may cause adverse handling, loss of control, and an accident resulting in serious injury or death. Do not carry loads of more than 10 kg (22 lb) in each saddlebag. Distribute the load equally on both sides of the motorcycle to minimize imbalance. Do not exceed the total payload limit of 228 kg (503 Ib), including rider, passenger, baggage, and accessories. Do not exceed the vehicle speed of 130 km/h (80 mph) when carrying a passenger and cargo. Also reduce speed according to road or weather conditions, etc. Failure to adjust the speed to compensate for added weight and other conditions may result in a loss of control and subsequent accident. Riding with an open saddle bag lid could allow clothing or other objects to fall into the rear wheel, resulting in rear-wheel lockup and loss of control. Keep both saddlebag covers securely locked when riding.

NOTICE
Do not sit on the saddlebags and their lids.
Do not put a load on the lids.
