Important
Information before Ride
1. Any driver and/or passenger should be completely familiar with motorcycle operation. The passenger can
affect control of motorcycle by improper positioning during turning corner or sudden movements. So it’s
important for passenger to sit still while the motorcycle is in motion and not interfere with the operation of
motorcycle. Do not carry animals on the motorcycle.
2. You should instruct any passenger before riding to keep his/her feet on the passenger footpegsand hold on
the driver or grab rail. Do not carry a passenger unless he or she is tall enough to reach footpegs.
3. All baggage should be carried as low as possible to reduce the effect on the motorcycle gravity. Baggage
weight should also be distributed equally on both sides of motorcycle. Avoid carrying baggage that extends
beyond the rear of the motorcycle.
4. Do not carry heavy or bulky items on a luggage rack. They are designed for light items, and overloading can
affect handling due to changes of weight distribution and aerodynamic forces.
5. Do not install accessories or carry baggage that impairs the performance of motorcycle. Make sure that you
have not adversely affected any lighting components, road clearance, banking capability (i.e., lean angle),
control operation, wheel travel, front fork movement, or any other aspect of motorcycle’s operation.
6. Weight attached to handlebar or front fork will increase the mass of steering and can result in unsafe riding
condition.
