Accessories, Loading and Passengers

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
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Never ride an accessory equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess of
80 mph (130 km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.
The presence of accessories and/or
payload will cause changes in the
stability and handling of the
motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in
motorcycle stability may lead to loss
of motorcycle control and an accident.
Remember that the 80 mph (130 km/h)
absolute limit will be reduced by the
installation of non-approved
accessories, incorrect loading, worn
tires, overall motorcycle condition and
poor road or weather conditions.
Warning
If the passenger seat is used to carry
small objects, they must not exceed
11 lb (5 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 11 lb
(5 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 pillion seat, the
maximum speed of the motorcycle
must be reduced to 80 mph
(130 km/h).
