SAFETY INFORMATION 2
2
Every time you apply accessories that affect
the weight and/or the aerodynamic characteristics
of your motorcycle, they must be assembled on its
lower side and near to its center, as much as it is
possible. The brackets and the anchor bolts must
be carefully checked after the assembling, to
ensure a stable framework and an unmovable
support for the accessory. In fact, an eventual
breaking of these stands could cause dangerous
situations during riding.
Verify that the assembling of the accessories
does not cause a reduction of the minimum ground
clearance and of the inclination of your motorcy-
cle. Moreover, verify that the assembling of the
accessories does not cause any interference with
the handling of the steering system, with the travel
of the suspensions and/or with the movement of
any other component involved in driving.
Any accessory positioned on the handlebar or
on the front fork can reduce the handling and
adversely affect the stability of the vehicle.
Therefore, the choice of the accessories should
be accurate and restricted to components of light
weight and small dimensions only.
Your motorcycle could undergo lightening or
other instability effects in case of wind blowing
sideways and transversely; this may also happen
when your motorcycle runs into or it is overtaken
by vehicles of great dimensions. Under these con-
ditions, the accessories adversely affect your dri-
ving safety, especially if they are incorrectly
assembled or of the wrong type. It is therefore
necessary to pay great attention in choosing and
assembling any accessory.
Some accessories force the rider to drive in an
unnatural position. This may obviously restrict
your freedom of movement and cause loss of con-
trol of the vehicle.
Additional electric accessories can cause an
overload of the electrical system of your motorcy-
cle; this could damage the wires, causing danger
of short circuit and electric shock.
