Accessories and Load

WARNING
!
• • • • • To prevent an accident, overload and structural
damages, be extremely careful when adding and
riding with accessories and cargo. Addition of
accessories and cargo can reduce motorcycle
stability, performance and safe riding speed.
Remember that this performance can be further
reduced by the installation of non-Honda
accessories, improper loading, worn tires, overall
motorcycle condition, and poor road or weather
conditions.
• • • • • These general guidelines may help you decide
whether or how to equip your motorcycle and how to
load it safely.
• • • • • Motorcycle stability and drivability may be impaired
by cargo and accessories improperly attached.
Always check if all cargo and accessories are
securely fastened.
Accessories
Genuine Honda accessories are specifically designed
for and tested on this motorcycle. Remember that you
are personally responsible for proper selection,
installation and use of non-Honda accessories. Always
follow the recommendations under "Load", and these:
1. Carefully inspect the accessory to make sure it
does not:
• obscure any lights (headlight, taillight, turn signal and
license plate lights);
• reduce ground clearance (in case of protectors) and
banking angle;
• limit suspension and steering travel, or control operation;
• exceed motorcycle load limit;
• affect motorcycle structure (frame);
• affect bolt, screw and nut tightening torque.
2. Large fork-mounted fairings or windshields, or poorly
designed or improperly mounted fairings can
produce aerodynamic forces that cause unstable
handling. Do not install fairings that restrict cooling
airflow to the engine.
3. Accessories that alter your riding position by
moving your hands or feet away from controls may
increase reaction time in an emergency.
4. Do not add electrical devices that may exceed the
motorcycle electrical system capacity. Any electrical
circuit failure is dangerous. Besides the lightening
and signaling systems, it also affects engine
performance.
5. This motorcycle is not designed to pull a sidecar or
trailer. Handling may be seriously impaired if so
equipped. The installation of such accessories will
render frame components to excessive stress,
damaging the motorcycle and impairing its handling.
6. Any modification of the cooling system may cause
overheating and serious engine damage.
7. This motorcycle is not designed for use with an
alarm system. The installation of any kind of alarm
may impair the electrical system. Honda shall cancel
warranty if the use of such device is determined.
