CARRYING A PASSENGER
Before you invite someone to be a passen-
ger on your motorcycle, you need to be thor-
oughly familiar with motorcycle operation.
Adjust tire pressures and suspension
according to the Tire Pressure and Loading
section and the Suspension section of this
manual.
The passenger should always hold onto
your waist or hips, or onto the seat strap or
grab bar, as equipped. Ask your passenger
not to make any sudden movements. When
you lean going around a corner, the passen-
ger should lean with you. The passenger
should always keep his or her feet on the
footrests, even when you are stopped at a
light.
To help prevent burn injuries, warn your pas-
senger not to contact the muffler when
mounting or dismounting your motorcycle.
