Hey guys. Just a little concerned. Im going away and will be travelling about 120miles one way, i wanted to know how much weight i can take onboard. I have a pillion passenger weighing about 8stone and myself weighing 11, how much extra can i really take with out putting to much pressure on my axles, tyres, drive, etc. Any help on this would be very appreciated. Thanks guys!

Max load should be indicated on the vehicle identification plate or papers... I don't know if UK has different vehicle identification / papers than the EEC.
For tyres I imagine that 2.5 front and 2.9 rear would be OK (I used it from 600 to 1200cc), but may be someone that drives a 400 could confirm.

never had that question before, so i dont know.....

Dont think id put more than 200kg total load on myself, thats including you and the passenger. If you only take what you need i reckon you will be fine.
