WARNING
Overloading the motorcycle with cargo and/or 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 7 kg (15 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 180 kg (397 lb), including rider, passenger, baggage, and accessories. Do not exceed the vehicle speed of 130 km/h (80 mph) when carrying a passenger and/or 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.

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