MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES

Your motorcycle has been designed to carry you, one passenger, cargo and
accessories. When you add cargo or carry a passenger, you may feel some
difference during acceleration and braking. But so long as you keep your
motorcycle well-maintained, with good tyres and brakes, you can safely carry
loads within the limits and guidelines given below.
However, exceeding the weight limit or carrying an unbalanced load can
seriously affect your motorcycle's handling, braking and stability. Non-Honda
accessories, improper modifications, and poor maintenance can also reduce
your safety margin.
The following pages give more specific information on loading, accessories and
modifications.
