Riding with a Passenger or Cargo
Your motorcycle is designed to carry you and one passenger. Whenever you add
a passenger or cargo, you must be careful not to exceed the total load limits for
this vehicle (
Load Limits,
page
44
). Make sure your cargo is properly secured
(
Loading Guidelines,
page
44
).
Also consider adjusting the suspension (page
117
) and headlight beam (page
35
)
for the extra load.
Be aware that carrying a passenger or heavy cargo can affect acceleration,
braking, and handling.
Before riding with a passenger, make sure your passenger is wearing the proper
protective apparel (page
38
).
Tell your passenger to hold the grab rail or your waist, lean with you in the turns,
and keep their feet on the passenger footpegs at all times, even when the
motorcycle is stopped at a traffic light.
