Loading & Carrying passengers
You should avoid carrying passengers or large loads until you
have gained sufficient experience riding alone. Extra weight
changes handling, stability, braking performance, turns,
acceleration and deceleration. The load you carry on the motorcycle
has an important effect on your safety, as well as the life of the
motorcycle; therefore, apart from driver and passenger, it is advised
to keep load to a minimum. If you decide to carry any load, take the
following into account:
• Make sure the load is as light and as small as possible.
• Make sure the load does not interfere with any moving parts.
• Make sure the load does not interfere with your ability to
move around in order to maintain proper equilibrium.
• Put the load as close as possible to the center of the
motorcycle.
• Put only light load on rear rack, if installed.
• Do not attach load to handlebars, headlight or front forks.
• Properly secure all items.
• Inflate tires properly.
Caution
The design of the motorcycle requires even distribution of all
loads. Be aware that improper loading of goods will adversely
affect the performance and stability of the vehicle.
• Keep the load low and distribute the load evenly. An
uneven load can cause the motorcycle to drift to one side.
Carrying excess load on your motorcycle can cause an accident
or crash resulting in severe injury or even death to the motorcycle
operator, passenger or bystanders. To carry passengers safely,
you must instruct the passenger before you start to:
• Wear a helmet.
• Get on the motorcycle after you have started the engine.
• Sit as far forward as possible without crowding the driver.
• Hold firmly to your waist, hips, belt or passenger handles.
• Keep both feet on the pegs at all time, even when the
motorcycle is stopped.
• Keep legs away from hot and moving parts.
• Stay directly behind you, leaning as you lean.
• Avoid any unnecessary motion.
To drive with a passenger safely, you must:
• Go slower.
