Owner´s Manual
Loading Guidelines
As previously discussed, we recommend that you do
not carry any cargo on this motorcycle. However, if
you decide to carry cargo, ride at reduced speeds and
follow these common-sense guidelines:
• Keep cargo small and light. Make sure it cannot
easily be caught on brush or other objects, and that
it does not interfere with your ability to shift position
to maintain balance and stability.
• Place weight as close to the center of the
motorcycle as possible.
• Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a
sleeping bag or tent) to the handlebar, fork, or front
fender.
• Make sure that all cargo is tied down securely.
• Never exceed the maximum weight limit.
• Check that both tyres are inflated properly.
Accessories and Modifications
Modifying your motorcycle or using non-Honda
accessories can make your motorcycle unsafe. Before
you consider making any modifications or adding an
accessory, be sure to read the following information.
WARNING
!
Improper accessories or modifications can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's manual
regarding accessories and modifications.
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only genuine
Honda accessories that have been specifically
designed and tested for your motorcycle. Because
Honda cannot test all other accessories, you must be
personally responsible for proper selection, installation
and use of non-Honda accessories. Check with your
dealer for assistance and always follow these
guidelines:
• Make sure the accessory does not obscure any
lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle,
limit suspension travel or steering travel, alter your
riding position or interfere with operating any
controls.
• Be sure electrical equipment does not exceed the
motorcycle's electrical system capacity (page 71).
