No three Boxes� together?
What a barmy idea, as I thought when reading the Owners Handbook�
Personally, I think it may be due to some sort of legality issue, a disclaimer via the backdoor. If the bike is fully loaded then they state ,
if memory is
correct, that the top speed should be dressed down to an average 60 - 70 mph, fully leaden with side and top boxes just might make the bike a little unstable.
I have a MetalMule Stubby Top Box, a pair of Skinny (31ltr) Panniers and a Touratech tank bag, fully loaded and having done 2600 miles across Europe, I can tell ya that, speaking for myself, there was NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER.
It�s a new, modern bike with a strong sub frame that is well up to the job, unlike Yamaha�s own Boxes, say I.
I�ll leave the rest to ya own making�
