LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES

Your motorcycle has been designed to carry
you and one passenger. When you 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 given limits
and guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit or
carrying an unbalanced load can seriously
affect your motorcycle's handling, braking
and stability. Non-Honda accessories,
im p r o p e r m od i f i c a t i on s , a n d p o or
maintenance can also reduce your safety
margin.
The following pages give more specific
information on loading, accessories and
modifications.

Loading

How much weight you put on your
motorcycle, and how you load it, are
important to your safety. Anytime you ride
with a passenger or cargo you should be
aware of the following information.
Overloading or improper loading can
cause a crash and you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading
guidelines in this manual.
