Weight of the rider + passenger

[Dilyan]

I've looked all over google and my handbook for this and yet no luck so far. Is there are recommended combined weight you can put on the frame? I've calculated that me and a mate that wants to come along on a ride have a combined weight of 33 st. Would it overload the bike?
And no, don't have a clue how to adjust the suspension

On my hornet there is a sticker on the chain guard about the tire pressure, it also says the max weight that the bike can handle.
It should also be in the manual

Me and my old man have been out on his '99 zx9r ninja today, I weigh something like 17st (cant remember last time I weighed myself tbh) and he probably weighs 12-13st... The bike handled and performed fine, saw 3-figures indicated a few times on the motorway coming back home.

Your bike should be ok imo, just be more wary of handling as it may be weird compared to riding solo and don't attempt any wheelies without clearing it with your pillion first..

i looked into this last year for the exact same reason, i had a zxr750 and found that the total load acceptable was something like 180kg, and i was carrying around 220 fully kitted up and loaded with two people and luggage. i was reccomended not to do it for long as it put stresses on the sub frame and other parts. also it made the bike feel very skittish as it was back heavy, but it was usable and i didnt suffer any damage that i noticed.
i ended up changing the bike to a pan european that is a lot more suited to heavy use on a regular basis, but if its only occaisional then i wouldnt worry about it

I read somewhere that my ER6F can take 180kg which is about 28st.

I estimate that when me and the gf go around europe this summer we will be putting a load of 200-220kg on the bike and the manual says 180kg max. Not gonna be pulling wheelies or flying over speed bumps just taking it easy so I'm not worried

Thanks for the replies. I don't have anything regarding load capacity in the manual, couldn't find anything in Google either
So, two of us total weight about 205-210 kg shouldn't be a problem on a short run with no speed humps
