Riding With A Passenger Or Cargo - Honda 1999 Shadow Aero VT1100C3 Owner's Manual

Riding with a Passenger or Cargo
Your motorcycle is designed to carry you
and one passenger. Whenever you add a
passenger or cargo, you must be careful
not to exceed the total load limits for this
vehicle
(Load Limits,
page 31 ). Make
sure your cargo is properly secured
tLoading Guidelines,
page 31 ).
Also consider adjusting the suspension
(page 109) for the extra load.
Be aware that carrying a passenger or
heavy cargo can affect acceleration,
braking, and handling.
Before riding with a passenger, make sure
your passenger is wearing the proper
protective apparel (page 24 ).
Tell your passenger to hold the seat strap
or your waist, lean with you in the turns,
and keep their feet on the passenger
footpegs at all times, even when the
motorcycle is stopped at a traffic light.
