Safety
Carrying a Passenger
• To obtain the best ride and handling characteristics, adjust the rear shock absorber air pres-
sure. See page 160.
• 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 pro-
cedures 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 can cause loss of
control.
