PRECAUTION S AFETY TIPS
There are a great variety of accesso-
ries available to Suzuki owners'
Su-
zuki can not have direct control over
the quality or suitability of accesso-
ries you may wish to purchase. The
of unsuitable
accessories
can lead to unsafe operating
condi-
tions. It is not possible for Suzuki to
test each accessory on the market or
combinations
of all the available ac-
cess-ories; however, your authorized
dealer can assist
you in selecting
quality
accessories
and
installing
them correctly.
Use extreme caution when selecting
and installing
the
accessories
for
your
Suzuki.
We
have
developed
some general guidelines
which will
aid you when deciding whether, and
how to equip your motorcycle.
3
(1) Any time that additional weight
or aerodynamic
affecting access-
ories are installed,
they should
be mounted as low as possible,
as close to the motorcycle and as
near the center of gravity as is
feasible. The mounting
brackets
and other attachment
hardware
should
be carefully
checked to
ensure that it provides for a rig-
id, nonmovable
mount.
Weak
mounts can allow the shifting of
the weight and create a dangero-
us, unstable condition.
(2) Inspect for proper ground clear-
ance and bank angle. An im-
properly
mounted
load
could
critically reduce these two safe-
ty factors. Also determine
that
the"
load"
does not interfere
with the operation
of the sus-
pension, steering
or other con-
trol operations.
(3) Accessories fitted to the handle-
bars or the front fork area can
create
serious
stability
prob-
lems. This
extra
weight
will
cause the motorcycle
to be less
responsive to your steering con-
trol. The weight may also cause
oscillations
in the front end and
lead to instability problems. Ac-
cessories
added to the handle-
bars or front fork should be as
light as possible and kept to a
minimum.
(4) The motorcycle may be affected
by a lifting condition or by an
instability
in cross
winds
or
when being passed
or passing
large vehicles. Improperly
moun
ted or poorly designed accesso-
ries can result in an unsafe rid-
ing condition, therefore
caution
should be used when selecting
and installing all accessories.
(5) Certain accessories displace the
rider from his or her normal rid-
ing position. This limits the
freedom of movement 6f the rid-
er and may limit his or her con-
trol ability.
( 6) Additional
electrical accessories
may overload the existing elec-
trical system. Severe overloads
may damage the wiring harness
or create a dangerous
situation
