Do not hang anything from your vehicle
handlebars, fenders, or forks, because this
will affect handling and prevent you from
avoiding an accident. Failure to heed this
warning can lead to an accident with
subsequent serious injury or even death.
Do not ride with your crash helmet hanging
from its strap because it can become
caught in the wheels, fenders, or forks,
causing an accident and subsequent
serious injury or even death.
Carry a passenger only if your vehicle is
equipped with passenger footrests,
handgrips for the passenger to hold on to,
and a passenger saddle.
When carrying a passenger, remember
that your vehicle's handling is reduced, 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
wheel will raise off the ground, especially
on acceleration. Therefore, you should
avoid hard acceleration and hard braking.
Many accidents are caused by
inexperienced riders carrying passengers.
Remember 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 maneuvering
distances. Failure to comply with these
instructions may lead to the vehicle
overturning or to other accidents, with
serious injury or even death being the
consequence.
Never carry loosely packaged items; make
sure that everything you carry on your
vehicle is carefully secured.
Do not carry packages that protrude from
the luggage rack or that cover any of the
signal lights, the headlight or the horn.
Never carry animals or children on the
glove compartment or luggage rack.
Never exceed the labeled maximum load
for each saddlebag.
Overloading your vehicle seriously reduces
its stability and maneuverability and can
lead to an accident with subsequent
serious injury or death.
