Title: safe weight to carry ?
Post by: rybes on March 16, 2011, 10:11:59 AM
mornin all  :D  ive a question bout loadin up the tiger to go tourin. once upon a time weight wasnt an issue as it was only ever me n maybe a small rucksack to carry bits it. now i have someone whos adamant were goin tourin throo europe ive a question regardin weights that are safe to carry. i seem to remember seein on the bike i can carry 200 kg ? thing is, im 105 kg with my gear on my girlfriends 90 with gear on. that done leave much room for luggage weight does it. i got hypro uprated sprngs front n rear so can i hold more weight ? im also guessin with that much weight on the bikei need to make sure the rear suspension is not too soft to make the front end light.

any tips blokes ?

exactly .......the front gets really light on a steamer when it's loaded down . crank a little xtra preload on it and maybe another click or two on the dampening (TBH though I don't )

try to keep the weight distributed evenly and teach the S.O. to pack light . It only took me 20 years to get Mrs. M to do that  :ImaPoser but she rides her own ride anyway ,

Have fun the things a fookin tank it can handle it  :D
