Loading Guidelines
Your motorcycle is primarily intended for
transporting you and a passenger. You
may wish to secure a jacket or other small
items to the seat when you are not riding
with a passenger.
If you wish to carry more cargo, check
with your Honda dealer for advice, and be
sure to read the information regarding
accessories on page 6.
Improperly loading your motorcycle can
affect its stability and handling. Even if
your motorcycle is properly loaded, you
should ride at reduced speeds and never
exceed 130 km/h (80 mph) when carrying
cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you
carry a passenger or cargo:
• Check that both tyres are properly
inflated.
• To prevent loose items from creating a
hazard, make sure that all cargo is
securely tied down before you ride away.
• Place cargo weight as close to the
center of the motorcycle as possible.
• If you change your normal load, you may
need to adjust the rear suspension
(page 26).
• Balance cargo weight evenly on both
sides.
