To prevent
an accident,
use
extreme
care when
adding
and
riding with accessories
and cargo.
Addition of accessories
and cargo
can reduce a motorcycle's
stabili-
ty, performance
and safe opera-
ting speed. Never ride an accesso-
ry-equipped motorcycle
at speeds
above
130 km/h (80 mph). And
remember that this 130 km/h (80
mph) limit may be reduced
by
installation of non-Honda accesso-
ries, improper loading, worn tyres
and overall motorcycle
condition,
poor road or weather conditions.
These
general
guidelines
may
help you decide whether
or how
to equip your motorcycle and how
to load it safely.
Loading
The
combined
weight
of the rider,
passenger
,
cargo and additional accesso-
ries must
not exceed
the maximum
weight
capacity:
100 kg (396 lbs)
Cargo weight alone
should
not exceed:
9 kg (20 lbs)
1.
Keep cargo weight low and close to the
center of the motorcycle. Load weight
equally
on both
sides
to minimize
imbalance.
As weight is
located further
from the motorc ycle's center of gravity,
handling is proportionally affected
.
2.
Adjust tyre pressure (page 24) to suit
load weight
and
riding conditions.
