is it the weight the bike will hold or the weight the bike will pull . lol ,
if its the weight the bike holds then get two of your mates to sit on it and see how much the suspension bottoms out,(ie , rear wheel touches the underside of the rear mudguard)
if its the other then just test it out , all that would happen is you'll wear your clutch plates out sooner and it will slip.
Oh mutly,,you did it again,she he he he he ehheheheh

The owners manual lists the unladen weight as 129.5kg, Maximum total weight permitted is 320kg.
