Warning
The handling and braking capabilities
of a motorcycle will be affected by the
presence of a passenger. The rider
must make allowances for these
changes when operating the
motorcycle with a passenger and
should not attempt such operation
unless trained to do so and without
becoming familiar and comfortable
with the changes in motorcycle
operating characteristics that this
brings about.
Motorcycle operation without making
allowances for the presence of a
passenger could lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Do not carry a passenger unless he or
she is tall enough to reach the
footrests provided.
A passenger who is not tall enough to
reach the footrests will be unable to
sit securely on the motorcycle and
may cause instability leading to loss of
control and an accident.
Warning
If the passenger seat is used to carry
small objects, they must not exceed
6.6 lb (3 kg) in weight, must not impair
control of the motorcycle, must be
securely attached and must not
extend beyond the rear or sides of the
motorcycle.
Carrying objects in excess of 6.6 lb
(3 kg) in weight, that are insecure,
impair control or extend beyond the
rear or sides of the motorcycle may
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Even if small objects are correctly
loaded onto the rear seat, the
maximum speed of the motorcycle
must be reduced to 80 mph
(130 km/h).
