Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Owners Manual: Loading guidelines

This motorcycle is primarily intended to carry small items when you are not riding with a passenger. Follow the guidelines below to carry a passenger or cargo:

•  balance the load between the left and right side of the motorcycle and fasten it securely.
•  Place cargo weight as close to the center of the motorcycle as possible.
•  Do not attach large or heavy items to the handlebars, front forks or rear fender.
•  Check that both tires are properly inflated to the specified tire pressure for your loading conditions. Refer to page 7-31.
•  Improperly loading your motorcycle can reduce your ability to balance and steer the motorcycle.

  You should ride at reduced speeds, less than 130 km/h (80 mph), when the cargo is loaded or accessory is fitted.

•  Adjust suspension setting as necessary.
