Load Limits & Guidelines
Before Riding
Your Honda was designed as a rider-only ATV. It was not designed to
carry a passenger. It can carry cargo on the cargo racks, however,
carrying cargo anywhere else or carrying a passenger could interfere
with your balance and control of the ATV.
In addition, exceeding the weight limits or carrying an unbalanced load
can seriously affect your ATV’s handling, braking and stability. Adding
accessories or making modifications that change this ATV’s design and
performance can also make it unsafe. Also, the weight of any
accessories will reduce the maximum load the ATV can carry.
More specific information on load limits, accessories, and modifications
follows.
How much weight you put on your ATV, and how you load it, are
important to your safety. If you decide to carry cargo, you should be
aware of the following information.
