Load Limits And Guidelines; Loading - Honda CBF500/A Owner's Manual

LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES

Your motorcycle has been designed to carry
you and one passenger. When you carry a
passenger, you may feel some difference
during acceleration and braking. But so long
as you keep your motorcycle well serviced,
with good tyres and brakes, you can safely
carry loads within the given limits and
guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit 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.
The following pages give more specific
information on loading, accessories and
modifications.
