Excess weight will:
–
Reduce your ability to accelerate,
brake and turn.
– Reduce the effectiveness of the
VSS.
– Increase the risk of rolling over if
the weight is high or toward the
rear.
– Reduce ground clearance, in-
creasing the risk of striking low ob-
stacles or uneven road surfaces.
– Increase the risk of tire failure.

Carrying a passenger or heavy cargo
affects the way the vehicle handles
because of the greater weight, and
because the weight distribution will be
different.
1. You will not be able to accelerate
as quickly. Allow more time and
space for passing.
2. You will not be able to stop as
quickly. Use a longer following dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of
you, at least three seconds. Use
an even longer distance if riding
conditions are not ideal (e. g., low
visibility, poor road surface).
3. You will not be able to turn as
sharply or at as high a speed. Slow
down more than usual before turn-
ing and avoid sharp turns.
4. The vehicle may be less stable.
There is a greater risk of tipping or
rolling during extreme maneuvers
with weight that is higher or farther
to the rear (like a passenger).
N NO OT TE E::
VSS effectiveness is decreased when
operating above maximum allowed
load.

This vehicle is designed to carry only
one passenger behind the operator
when equipped with an approved pas-
senger's seat kit. Never try to carry
more than one passenger.
