Carrying a Passenger
Not all models are equipped from the factory with a passenger seat and passenger footrests.
Do not carry a passenger unless the motorcycle is equipped with passenger seat and passen-
ger footrests.
To carry a passenger safely:
• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your motorcycle.
• Direct the passenger to hold onto you or to the passenger hand grips with both hands and
to keep both feet on the passenger footrests. Do not carry a passenger who cannot place
both feet firmly on the passenger 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 loss of control.
