CARRYING A PASSENGER
Before you invite someone to be a pas-
senger on your motorcycle, you need to
be thoroughly familiar with motorcycle
operation. Adjust tire pressures and
suspension according to the Tire Pres-
sure and Loading section and the Sus-
pension 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 pas-
senger not to make any sudden move-
ments. When you lean going around a
corner, the passenger should lean with
you. The passenger should always
keep his or her feet on the footrests,
even when you are stopped at a light.
CAUTION
A hot muffler can cause severe
burns. The muffler will be hot enough
to cause burns for some time after
stopping the engine.
Park the motorcycle where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to touch
the muffler.
