PROTECTIVE APPAREL
I. Most motorcycle accident fatalities are
due to head injuries: ALWAYS wear a
helmet. You should also wear a face
shield or goggles, boots, gloves, and
protective clothing. A passenger needs
the same protection.
2. The exhaust system becomes very hot
during operation, and
it
remains hot
after operation. Never touch any part of
the hot exhaiJst system. Wear clothing
that fully coyers your legs.
3. Do not-wear loose clothing which could
catch on the control levers, footpegs.
or wheels.

LOADING AND ACCESSORIES
I. Keep cargo and accessory weight low
and close to the center of the motor-
cycle. Load weight equally on both
sides to minimize imbalance. As weight
is located farther from the motorcycle's
center of gravity. handling is propor-
tionally affected.
2. Adjust tire pressure (TUBELESS TIRES,
page 5), front fork air pressure and rear
shock absorber air pressure (SUSPEN-
SION, page 8) to suit load weight and
riding conditions.
3. Luggage racks are for light weight
items. Do not carry more than 20 lbs.
of cargo on a luggage rack behind the
seat. Bulky items too far behind the
rider may cause wind turbulence that
impairs handling.
4. All cargo and
accessories must be
secure for stable handling. Re-check
cargo security and accessory mounts
frequently.
5. Do not attach large, heavy items to the
handlebars,
front
forks, or fender.
Unstable
handling or slow steering
response may result.
