Loading Guidelines
Your motorcycle is primarily intended for transporting
you and a passenger. You may wish to secure a jacket
or other small items to the seat when you are not
riding with a passenger.
If you wish to carry more cargo, check with your
Honda dealer for advice, and be sure to read the
information regarding accessories on page 13.
Improperly loading your motorcycle can affect its
stability and handling. Even if your motorcycle is
properly loaded, you should ride at reduced speeds
and never exceed 130 km/h (80 mph) when carrying
cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a
passenger or cargo:
Check that both tyres are properly inflated (page 30).

To prevent loose items from creating a hazard, make

sure that all cargo is securely tied down before you
ride away.
Place cargo weight as close to the center of the

motorcycle as possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.

Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a sleeping

bag or tent) to the handlebars, forks or fender.
