Function Check and Loading Information
Function Check: After installation, ensure that no moving parts are obstructed and the vehicle's function is not hindered. Lamps (taillight, turn signals) must not be limited in their function. Cables and hoses must not rub or be pinched. Before riding, perform a comprehensive check of all functions. Regularly check (every 100 km or at each stop) the proper fixation of the product.
Loading Information: Riding with this product may affect the motorcycle's driving and braking performance. Ensure weight is evenly distributed. Depending on the fixation location, cornering and ground clearance can be reduced. Never pack pointy, sharp-edged, or similar objects that could cause injury or damage. Use a waterproof inner bag/raincover to protect luggage from moisture. Protect sensitive items (e.g., electronic equipment) with a plastic bag.
ATTENTION: Maximum load: 5 kg (11 lbs)! The maximum vehicle load specified by the manufacturer must not be exceeded. Maximum speed with this product: 130 km/h.
Care Instructions
Clean the product periodically or after each trip, as dust and dirt can cause wear and permanent stains. Clean the product after riding in salty conditions to prevent salt damage.
First, remove dust and encrustations with a soft dry brush. Remove stubborn deposits with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Do NOT use strong cleaning agents, rough cleaning tools, or a high-pressure washer. Rinse with clear water.
Before re-use, dry the product in the air for at least 24 hours (not in direct sunlight).
It is recommended to impregnate the cotton textile surface periodically or after intensive cleaning with a commercial wax impregnation (e.g., from Fjällräven).
ATTENTION: As the textile surface material is a natural fiber, it may experience color changes or fading when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods or by environmental factors (e.g., SMOG, acid rain). SW-MOTECH assumes no liability for this.
ATTENTION: Dirt on the product and vehicle has an abrasive effect and can damage surfaces like paint. Ensure all areas of the vehicle that contact the product or its parts (like straps) are protected with an adhesive protection film against scratches and abrasions. SW-MOTECH assumes no liability for paint damage and abrasions.
