ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND
SAFETY PRECAUTION TIPS
There are great varieties of accessories available
to SKYTEAM owners. The addition of
unsuitable accessories can lead to unsafe
operating conditions. For proper installation of
accessories, we have laid down some principles
which will help you for the correct choice and
installation of accessories.
(1) If you want to install an accessory which will
result in an extra weight or an aerodynamic effect
to your motorcycle, try to install it as low as
possible and as close as possible to the center of
gravity of your motorcycle. Check carefully the
holder for installing accessories to make sure for
its firmness. The infirm installation will lead to
unstable and dangerous conditions due to weight
deviation.
(2) Check the net clearance and turning angle to
make sure that they are adequate. The improper
load, which may occur after installing
accessories,will very likely lower their safety
factors.Checks should also be made that this
improper load will not hinder the idling,tunning
and other control actions.
(3)Fixing the accessories on handlebars or front
fork will result in unstable operation.This extra
weight will reduce the maneuverability of your
motorcycle during turning operations, meanw-
hile,this extra weight will also cause unstable
condition due to vibration at the front
end.Therefore,fixing accessories on handlebars
or front fork should be minimized.
(4)Things like windglass,windshield, waist
support, bags across seat and suitcases all have
an aerodynamic effect on the stability of your
motorcycle, when there is a side wind or large
vehicles passing by. The improper installation
or bad design of accessories will affect your
driving safety.Therefore,you should be careful
for the choice and installation of accessories.
(5)Certain accessories displace the rider from his
normal riding position.This will not only limits

his control ability.
