ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND
PRECAUTION SAFETY TIPS
There are a great variety of accessories available to
Hyosung owners. Hyosung can not have direct control
over the quality or suitability of accessories you may
wish to purchase. The addition of unsuitable acces-
sories can lead to unsafe operating conditions. It is
not possible for Hyosung to test each accessory on
the market or combinations of all the available
accessories, however, your dealer can assist you in
selecting quality accessories and installing them cor-
rectly.
Use extreme caution when selecting and installing the
accessories for your Hyosung. We have developed
some general guidelines which will aid you when
deciding whether, and how to equip your motorcycle.
(1) Anytime that additional weight or aerodynamic
affecting accessories are installed, they should be
mounted as low as possible, as close to the
motorcycle and as near the center of gravity as
is feasible. The mounting brackets and other
attachment hardware should be carefully checked
to ensure that it provides for a rigid, nonmovable
mount. Weak mounts can allow the shifting of
the weight and create a dangerous, unstable
condition.
(2) Inspect for proper ground clearance and bank
angle. An improperly mounted load could critically
reduce these two safety factors. Also determine
that the "accessories"does not interfere with the
operation of the suspension steering or other
control operations.
(3) Accessories fitted to the handlebars or the front
fork area can create serious stability problems.
This extra weight will cause the motorcycle to be
less responsive to your steering control. The
weight may also cause oscillations in the front
end and lead to instability problems. Accessories
added to the handlebars or front fork should be
as light as possible and kept to a minimum.
(4) The motorcycle may be affected by a lifting con-
dition or by an instability in cross winds or when
being passed or passing large vehicles.
Improperly mounted or poorly desighed acces-
sories can result in an unsafe riding condition,
therefore caution should be used when selecting
and installing all accessories.
(5) Certain accessories displace the rider from his or
her normal riding position. This limits the freedom
of movement of the rider and may limit his or
her control ability.
(6) Additional electrical accessories may overload the
existing electrical system. Severe overloads may
damage the wiring harness or create a danger-
ous situation due to the loss of electrical power
during the operation of the motorcycle.
When carrying a load on the motorcycle, mount it as
low as possible and as close as possible to the
machine. An improperly mounted load can create a
high center of gravity which is very dangerous and
makes the motorcycle difficult to handle. The size of
the "load" can also affect the aerodynamics and
handling of the motorcycle. Balance the load between
the left and right side of the motorcycle and fasten it
securely.
MODIFICATION
Modification of the motorcycle, or removal of original
equipment may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal.
SAFE RIDING RECOMMENDATION
FOR MOTORCYCLE RIDERS
Motorcycle riding is great fun and an exciting sport.
Motorcycle riding also requires that some extra precautions
be taken to ensure the safety of the rider and passenger.
These precautions are:
WEAR A HELMET
Motorcycle safety equipment starts with a quality
safety helmet. One of the most serious injuries that
can happen is a head injury. ALWAYS wear a prop-
erly approved helmet. You should also wear suitable
eye protection.
RIDING APPAREL
Loose fancy clothing can be uncomfortable and
unsafe when riding your motorcycle. Choose good
quality motorcycle riding apparel when riding your
