F1 Luggage Guidelines

Motor Cycle Industry Association Ltd.

A motorcycle is a relatively ‘hostile environment’ for luggage and the following general guidelines are provided to 

ensure that the luggage performs as the manufacturer intended. As with all types of luggage, users should always 

pay particular attention to the manufacturer’s own safety, fitment and usage instructions included with this product.

LOADING

Always ensure that luggage is loaded as evenly as possible and within the stated 

maximum capacity and weight limits. Heavy objects should be loaded at the bottom 

and particular care should be taken with sharp objects to avoid damaging the luggage. 

Dependent on the type and specification of the luggage, the contents may have to be 

protected against the elements (e.g. water, dirt, etc.) by wrapping in plastic bags for example.

FITMENT

All adjacent surfaces of the motorcycle should be clean and smooth to avoid possible 

abrasion. Where the possibility of abrasion exists, the necessary precautions should be 

taken. The luggage should be securely attached to the motorcycle and should be mounted 

clear of moving parts and sources of heat such as engine and exhaust system(s).It is 

recommended that riders check the security/mounting of luggage at regular intervals 

throughout their journey.

RAINCOVERS

It is the responsibility of the user to ensure rain covers are fitted safely and correctly (see 

fitment advice above) i.e insure that they are fitted snugly to the luggage and are not left 

baggy and able to fill with air when on the move.

USAGE

As the fitment of luggage may affect the stability or operating characteristics of the 

motorcycle, riders should always heed the stated recommended maximum speeds for 

both solo and ‘two-up’ use. Care should also be taken with luggage that uses magnetic 

mountings as these may affect items containing magnetic data such as credit cards, film, 

etc. This luggage has been designed for universal fitment on motorcycles, for road use only.

PRODUCT

To ensure longevity of the luggage, the manufacturer’s own cleaning and storage instructions 

should always be observed.

IMPORTANT

The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damage caused to the vehicle, the luggage 

or its contents arising out of its misuse or any failure to fit and use it in accordance with the 

above guidelines and the manufacturer’s special instructions.
