Hiya fellas,
As per title as always.
Has anyone knowingly exceeded the maximum loading for their bike (Fazer or other) and had handling/safety issues. I'm sure people 2 up touring must have come across this in the past.
Reason for asking is simple - the maximum loading for my Tiger is 190Kg. I weigh 110Kg & my mate weighs 103Kg. Allowing for 7.5Kg of gear each that's 227Kg.
I'm doing the Reading Toy Run this year and my mate (non rider) is desperate to go. It's all lowish (40mph max) speeds and a distance of say 15 miles in total.
With the above in mind (40Kg over)....would you do it???
Cheers in advance :thumbup
