Be sure tires are properly inflated, balanced, undamaged,
and have adequate tread. Inspect your tires regularly and
see a Harley Davidson dealer for replacements. Riding
with excessively worn, unbalanced, improperly inflated,
overloaded or damaged tires can lead to tire failure and
adversely affect stability and handling, which could result
in death or serious injury. (00014b)
Replace punctured or damaged tires. In some cases, small
punctures in the tread area may be repaired from within
the removed tire by a Harley Davidson dealer. Speed
should NOT exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) for the first 24 hours
after repair, and the repaired tire should NEVER be used
over 80 mph (130 km/h). Failure to follow this warning
could lead to tire failure and result in death or serious
injury. (00015b)
Do not exceed the motorcycle's Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
Exceeding these weight ratings can lead to component
failure and adversely affect stability, handling and
performance, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00016f)
GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of
the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.
The GVWR is shown on the information label, located on the frame steering head or the
frame downtube.
GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each axle.
Refer to weight table(s). See Specifications.
Do not tow a disabled motorcycle. Towing can adversely
affect stability and handling, which could result in death or
serious injury. (00017a)
Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can
cause tire overload, damage and failure, reduced braking

which could result in death or serious injury. (00018c)
