Post by: ddtwelve on 20 May 2013, 08:45:07 pm

Im off for my first camping trip with the missus so all packed uo with 10 kg in each side box and top box I was wondering what weights you gave used as my tent gives an extra 3 kg to the topbox weight and im scared it's too much  :eek

I've had a bit more than that in my top box. Probably closer to 15kg-20kg with the weight of the box.

Givi tend to say "maximum load 10kg" on their top boxes and panniers, but I've had more in them without any problems.

Just make sure you up the pre-load on the rear suspension and you might want to consider checking the headlight alignment too so you don't dazzle on-coming traffic.

And allow a bit more distance for braking too :)

Preload upto max and tyre pressures check and adjusted fingers crossed for dry weather xx
