WARNING
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only genuine
Honda accessories that have been specifically
designed and tested for your motorcycle. Because
Honda cannot test all other accessories, you must be
personally responsible for proper selection, installation
and use of non-Honda accessories. Check with your
dealer for assistance and always follow these
guidelines:
•
Make sure the accessory does not obscure any
lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle,
limit suspension travel or steering travel, alter your
riding position or interfere with operating any
controls.
•
Be sure electrical equipment does not exceed the
motorcycle’s electrical system capacity (page 72).
A blown fuse can cause a loss of lights or engine
power.
•
Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your motorcycle.
This motorcycle was not designed for these
attachments, and their use can seriously impair your
motorcycle’s handling.
Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any original
equipment or modify your motorcycle in any way that
would change its design or operation. Such changes
could seriously impair your motorcycle’s handling,
stability and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
Removing or modifying your lights, mufflers, emission
control system or other equipment can also make your
motorcycle illegal.
