Load Limits & Guidelines
Your motorcycle was designed as a rider-
only motorcycle. It was not designed to
carry a passenger or cargo. A passenger or
cargo could interfere with your ability to
move around to maintain your balance and
control of the motorcycle.
In addition, exceeding the weight limits 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.
