Safety information
must be and should be kept to
a minimum.
• Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability
of the motorcycle due to ae-
rodynamic effects. Wind may
EN attempt to lift the motorcycle,
or the motorcycle may become
unstable in cross winds. These
1
accessories may also cause in-
stability when passing or being
passed by large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can displa-
ce 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 accesso-
ries are not recommended.
• Use caution when adding electrical
accessories. If electrical accessories
exceed the capacity of the motor-
cycle's electrical system, an electric
failure could result, which could cau-
se a dangerous loss of lights or engi-
ne power.
Aftermarket Tires and Rims
The tires and rims that came with your
motorcycle were designed to match the
performance capabilities and to provide
the best combination of handling, bra-
king, and comfort.
Other tires, rims, sizes, and combinations
may not be appropriate. Refer to page
6-16 for tire specifications and more infor-
mation on replacing your tires.
Transporting the Motorcycle
Be sure to observe following instructions
before transporting the motorcycle in
another vehicle.
• Remove all loose items from the mo-
torcycle.
• Check that the fuel cock (if equip-
ped) is in the " " position and that
there are no fuel leaks.
• Point the front wheel straight ahead
on the trailer or in the truck bed, and
choke it in a rail to prevent move-
ment.
• Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmission).
• Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the mo-
torcycle, such as the frame or upper
front fork triple clamp (and not, for
example, to rubber-mounted hand-
lebars or turn signals, or parts that
could break). Choose the location
1 - 4
for the straps carefully so the straps
will not rub against painted surfaces
during transport.
• The suspension should be compres-
sed somewhat by the tie-downs, if
possible, so that the motorcycle will
not bounce excessively during tran-
sport.
