ACCESSORIES, LOADING AND PASSENGERS

Passengers
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 they
are 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
Your passenger should be instructed
that they can cause loss of motorcycle
control by making sudden movements
or by adopting an incorrect seated
position.
The rider should instruct the
passenger as follows:
- It is important that the passenger
sits still while the motorcycle is in
motion and does not interfere with the
operation of the motorcycle.
- To keep their feet on the passenger
footrests and to firmly hold onto the
seat strap or the rider's waist or hips.
- Advise the passenger to lean with
the rider when traveling around
corners and not to lean unless the
rider does so.
Warning
Do not carry animals on your
motorcycle.
An animal could make sudden and
unpredictable movements that could
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
