Max weight of rider + passenger?

[DannyMcCann]

Skimming the manual cant seem to find anything (but it does reckon average rider weight is 68kg , guessing because its made for tiny Japanese people??), anyone know what the deemed max rider + pillion weight is? Me and the missus combined is about 170 - 180kg, may need to adjust the rear shock next time we go out together

Tyre pressures may need adjusting, and rear shock.

Couldn't tell you how much by though - but I used to take my friend Adam on the back of my 400 and it was ok, until I used the brakes and he slid forwards and was sat on his nuts. Lol.

combined weight about 160kg for that pair of us at the time.

I thought the same when i was thinking of putting my susp settings to standard, decided against in the end.
I'm sure the bike can take you and ure missus, You might wanna give the chain a bit more slack aswell though, I have buggered a sprocket that way before :wanker

Myn has had 180kg on it, no problem (apart from the broken bullocks)
