Design Characteristics Affect How You Should Ride The Motorcycle
-
The motorcycle is designed for on-road use with one rider (and one passenger if the motorcycle is equipped with a passenger seat and pegs). Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR. Refer to the Specifications chapter or the Manufacturing Information/VIN label on the motorcycle frame for model-specific information.
-
Riding off-road, riding with more than one passenger, or carrying weight exceeding the maximum weight rating can make handling difficult, which could cause loss of control.
-
During the first 500 mi (800 km) of operation, follow all break-in procedures as outlined on Engine Break-In. Failure to do so can result in serious engine damage.
-
If your motorcycle is equipped with saddlebags, a windshield or a passenger backrest, be prepared to reduce operating speed to maintain stability.
