Load Limits & Guidelines

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.

Loading

WARNING

3

WARNING

Overloading, improper loading, or carrying a 
passenger can cause a crash and you can be 
seriously hurt or killed.

Follow all load limits and other loading 
guidelines in this manual.
