Carrying A Passenger - Suzuki DL650A Owner's Manual

WARNING
Following another vehicle too
closely can lead to a collision.
As vehicle speeds increase,
stopping distance increases
progressively.
Be sure you have a safe stop-
ping distance between you and
the vehicle in front of you.
5. Park the motorcycle on a firm,
flat surface where it will not fall
over.
WARNING
A hot muffler can burn you. The
muffler will be hot enough to
burn you for some time after
stopping the engine.
Park the motorcycle where
pedestrians or children are not
likely to touch the muffler.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the
"OFF" position.
7. Turn the handlebars all the
way to the left and lock the
steering for security.
8. Remove the ignition key.
NOTE: If an optional anti-theft
lock such as U-shape lock, brake
disk lock and chain is used to
avoid theft, be sure to remove
anti-theft lock before moving the
motorcycle.

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.
