1. Never install accessories or carry cargo that would impair the performance of your motor-
cycle. Carefully inspect the accessory before using it to make sure it does not in any way
reduce ground clearance or cornering clearance, limit suspension travel, steering travel or
control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.
a. Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to
improper weight distribution or aerodynamic changes. If accessories are added to the
handlebar or front fork area, they must be as lightweight as possible and should be kept
to a minimum.
b. Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to
aerodynamic effects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may
become unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause instability when
being passed by or passing large vehicles.
c. Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position.
This improper position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit
control ability. Therefore such accessories are not recommended.
2. Caution must be used if adding electrical accessories. If these accessories exceed the
capacity of the motorcycle’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
a. Always turn off the engine when refueling.
b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.
c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
