Make sure any accessories installed are
fastened securely to the vehicle and will not
affect safety during riding.
Do not install or modify any electric devices
in such a manner as to exceed vehicle
capacity, as this may lead to a power
shortage or failure causing the engine to stop
suddenly or rendering the horn and lights
inoperative.

LOAD
Be careful not to overload the vehicle with
exceeding luggage. Place your luggage as
close as possible to the centre of gravity of
the vehicle and make sure its weight is
evenly distributed across both sides of the
vehicle to keep it stable. Make sure that the
luggage is firmly secured to the vehicle,
especially before long trips.
Avoid fixing bulky, heavy and/or dangerous
objects to the handlebars, mudguards and
forks - this could slow down the vehicle's
response in turns and would inevitably
affect handling.
Do not secure bulky bags to the vehicle
sides, as they could hit people or obstacles
when riding, resulting in loss of control.
Do not carry any luggage unless firmly
secured to the vehicle.
Do not carry any bags which protrude too
much over luggage rack or cover the lights,
horn or indicators.
Do not carry pets or children sitting on the
glove compartment or on the luggage rack.
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity
of each luggage rack.
The overloaded vehicle will become
unstable and handle poorly.
