SAFETY
Safety
Carrying A Passenger
To carry a passenger safely, do the following:
• Direct the passenger to hold on to you or to the passenger hand grips and to keep both
feet on the passenger footrests. Do not carry a passenger who cannot place both feet
firmly on the footrests. A passenger who is not holding on properly, or who cannot reach
the passenger footrests, can shift their body erratically, which can make the motorcycle
hard to handle and cause a loss of control.
• To obtain the best ride and handling characteristics, adjust the rear shock absorber air
pressure according to instructions beginning on page 153.
• Before riding, be sure your passenger knows safe riding procedures. Discuss any safety
information unfamiliar to your passenger. A passenger who is unaware of safe riding
procedures may distract you or make movements that make the motorcycle hard to
handle.
• Adjust your riding style to compensate for the differences in handling, acceleration and
braking caused by the additional weight of the passenger. Failure to do so could result in
loss of control.
