Troubleshooting
Pack not fully waterproof
Ensure the top opening is rolled down at least three times and securely clipped. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.
Straps slipping during ride
Re-tighten all straps and ensure they are securely attached to strong points on the motorcycle. Check that the subframe loops are correctly installed if using that method.
Difficulty attaching to the bike
Review the mounting instructions. Ensure you are using appropriate attachment points. For racks, confirm the rack is stable. For pillion seats, verify subframe loops are accessible.
Shoulder strap uncomfortable
Adjust the length of the shoulder strap for a balanced carry. Ensure the pack is not overloaded, which can affect comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mounting: Determine your mounting strategy. For tail racks, use the long hook straps to attach securely to the rack and the bike's subframe or rack loops. For pillion seat mounting, thread the included subframe loops under the seat and attach the hook straps.
- Capacity Adjustment: To increase capacity to 40 liters, unroll the ends. To decrease to 28 liters, roll both ends tightly.
- Closure: Roll the top end down at least three times before clipping the side buckles. Repeat for the other end.
- Shoulder Strap: Attach the included shoulder strap for comfortable carrying when off the bike.
Compatibility:
- The US-40 is designed as a 'universal-fit' rackpack. It is compatible with most motorcycles equipped with a rear tail rack or a pillion seat suitable for securing straps.
- Additional Kriega US-Drypacks, OS-Packs, or Accessories can be mounted using the Hypalon reinforced strap mounts and webbing loops.
Care:
- Clean the pack with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure the roll-top closure is dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Periodically check the straps and buckles for wear and tear.
