Safe Riding Practices
Carrying a Passenger
Do not carry a passenger unless the motorcycle is equipped with passenger seat and
passenger footrests.
To carry a passenger safely:
• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). See the manufacturer’s label (on
the left side of the frame at the steering head).
• If necessary, adjust the rear shock preload. See page 70. Improper preload adjustment can
make your motorcycle hard to handle and can cause loss of control.
• Before riding, be sure your passenger is familiar with safe riding procedures. An
inexperienced passenger may distract you or make movements that cause instability.
• Direct the passenger to hold onto you or the seat strap with both hands and to keep both
feet on the passenger footrests. Do not carry a passenger who cannot place both feet firmly
on the passenger footrests. A passenger who rides improperly can shift body weight
erratically and cause instability.
• Adjust your riding style to compensate for the differences in handling, acceleration and
braking caused by the additional weight of the passenger.
