Modification - Suzuki GSX1300R Owner's Manual

Never exceed the G.V.W. (Gross
Vehicle Weight) of this motorcycle.
The U.v.w. is tne combined weight
of the machine, accessories, pay-
load and rider. When selecting your
accessories, keep in mind the
weight of the rider as well as the
weight of the accessories. The ad-
may not only create an unsafe
I
riding condition but may also affect
the riding stability!
Rear: ^.goTEgT/cnr (4gj)si)
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, non-movable
mount. Weak mounts can allow the
shifting of the weight and create a
dangerous, unstable condition.
Inspect for proper ground clearance
and bank angle. An improperly
mounted load could critically re-
duce these two safety factors. Also
determine that the "load" does not
interfere with the operation of the
suspension, steering or other con-
trol operations.
Accessories fitted to the handle-
bars or the front fork area can cre-
ate serious stability problems. This
extra weight will cause the motor-
cycle 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 handle-
bar or front fork should be as light
as possible and kept to a minimum.
The motorcycle may be affected by
a lifting condition or by an instabil-
ity in cross winds or when being
passed or passing large vehicles.
Improperly mounted or poorly de-
signed accessories can result in an
unsafe riding condition, therefore
caution should be used when se-
lecting and installing all accesso-
ries.
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.
Additional electrical accessories
may overload the existing electri-
cal system. Severe overloads may
damage the wiring harness or cre-
ate a dangerous situation due to the
loss of electrical power during the
operation of the motorcycle.

When carrying a load on the motor-
cycle, mount it as low as possible and
as close as possible to the machine.
An improperly mounted load can cre-
ate a high center of gravity which is
very hazardous and makes the mo-
torcycle difficult to handle. The size of
the "load" can also affect the aerody-
namics and handling of the motor-
cycle. Balafice the load between the
right and left side of the motorcycle
and fasten it securely.
A WARNING
Do not carry any objects in the
space behind the fairing. Objects
placed in this area can interfere
with steering and can cause loss
of control.

MODIFICATION

Modification of the motorcycle, or re-
moval of original equipment may ren-
der the vehicle unsafe or illegal.
The frame of this motorcycle is made
of an aluminium allov.Therefore, never
make any modifications such as drill-
ing or welding to the frame as it weak-
could result in an unsafe vehicle op-
erating condition and subsequent ac-
cident. Suzuki will not be res- ponsible
in any way for personal injury or dam-
age to the motorcycle caused by frame
modifications. Bolt on accessories that
do not modify the frame in any way
may be installed provided that the
GVW is not exceeded. For the GVW,
refer to the ACCESSORY INSTALLA-
TION AND PRECAUTION SAFETY
TIPS section of this owner's manual.
A WARNING
Modification to an aluminum alloy
frame, such as drilling or welding,
weakens the frame. This could re-
sult in an unsafe operating condi-
tion and may lead to an accident.
Never make any modifications to
the frame.
