●
Do not run engine indoors. Even if

haust with fans or open windows
and doors, carbon monoxide can
rapidly reach dangerous levels.
●
Do not run engine in poorly venti-
lated or partially enclosed areas
such as barns, garages, or car-
ports.
● Do not run engine outdoors
where engine exhaust can be
drawn into a building through
openings such as windows and
doors.
Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your
motorcycle can adversely affect stabil-
ity and handling if the weight distribu-
tion of the motorcycle is changed. To
avoid the possibility of an accident,
use extreme caution when adding car-
go or accessories to your motorcycle.
Use extra care when riding a motorcy-
cle that has added cargo or accesso-
ries. Here, along with the information
about accessories below, are some
general guidelines to follow if loading
cargo to your motorcycle:
The total weight of the operator,
passenger, accessories and cargo
must not exceed the maximum load
limit. Operation of an overloaded
vehicle could cause an accident.
Maximum load:
163 kg (359 lb)
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
●
Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close
to the motorcycle as possible. Se-
curely pack your heaviest items
as close to the center of the vehi-
cle as possible and make sure to
distribute the weight as evenly as
possible on both sides of the mo-
torcycle to minimize imbalance or
instability.
● Shifting weights can create a sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that
accessories and cargo are se-
curely attached to the motorcycle

mounts and cargo restraints fre-
quently.

fork, or front fender. These

dling or a slow steering re-
sponse.
