Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection,
we also recommend:
•
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
•
Leather gloves to keep your hands
warm and help prevent blisters, cuts,
burns and bruises.
•
A vehicle riding suit or jacket for comfort
as well as protection. Bright coloured
and reflective clothing can help make
you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure
to avoid loose clothes that could get
caught on any part of your vehicle.
LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
Your vehicle has been designed to carry you
and one passenger. When you carry a
passenger, you may feel some difference
during acceleration and braking. But so long
as you keep your vehicle well maintained,
with good tyres and brakes, you can safely
carry loads within the given limits and
guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit or
carrying an unbalanced load can seriously
affect your motorcycle’s handling, braking
and stability. Non-Honda accessories,
improper modifications, and poor
maintenance can also reduce your safety
margin.
The following pages give more specific
information on loading, accessories and
modifications.
Loading
How much weight you put on your
motorcycle, and how you load it, are
important to your safety. Anytime you ride
with a passenger or cargo you should be
aware of the following information.
