Carrying A Passenger - Suzuki VL800 Owner's Manual

CARRYING A PASSENGER

Before you invite someone to be a
passenger on your motorcycle,
you need to be thoroughly familiar
with motorcycle operation. Adjust
tire pressures and suspension
according to the Tire Pressure
and Loading section and the Sus-
pension section of this manual.
The passenger should always
hold onto your waist or hips, or
onto the seat strap or grab bar, as
equipped. Ask your passenger
not to make any sudden move-
ments. When you lean going
around a corner, the passenger
should lean with you. The passen-
ger should always keep his or her
feet on the footrests, even when
you are stopped at a light.
To help prevent burn injuries,
warn your passenger not to con-
tact the muffler when mounting or
dismounting your motorcycle.
