LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
Your motorcycle 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
motorcycle wellmaintained, 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 modi f ications, 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.
Overloading or improper loading can
cause a crash and you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other
loading guidelines in this manual.
