Do not hang anything from your vehicle
handlebars, fenders, or forks, because this
will upset the handling of your vehicle, and
could prevent you from avoiding an acci-
dent. Failure to heed this warning can lead
to an upset with subsequent serious injury
or even death.
Do not ride with your crash helmet hung
from the strap because it could easily foul
the wheels, fenders, or forks, causing an
upset and subsequent serious injury or
even death.
Carry a passenger only if your vehicle is
equipped with passenger footrests, hand-
grips for the passenger to hold on to, and a
passenger saddle.
When carrying a passenger, remember
that your vehicle’s handling is degraded,
that the brakes are less efficient, and the
center of gravity is higher and further to the
rear. This makes it more likely that the front whe-
el will come up off the ground, especially
on acceleration. Therefore, you should
avoid hard acceleration and hard braking.
Many accidents are caused by inexperien-
ced riders carrying passengers. Remem-
ber that allowance must be made for the
extra weight of the passenger for all driving
maneuvers.
Avoid abrupt and excessive acceleration.
Always slow down in time and calculate
longer stopping and manoeuvring distan-
ces. Non-compliance with these instruc-
tions may lead to the overturning of the
vehicle or to other accidents with conse-
quent serious injuries or even death.
Never carry loosely packaged items,
make sure that everything that you carry
on your vehicle is carefully secured.
Do not carry packages which protrude
from the luggage rack or which cover any
of the signal lights, the headlight, or the
horn.
Never carry animals or children on the glo-
ve compartment or on the luggage rack.
Never exceed the labeled maximum load
for each saddlebag.
Overloading your vehicle seriously redu-
ces its stability and maneuverability and
can lead to an upset with subsequent se-
rious injury or death.
