Before you ride the motor- tycle, make sure that the motorcycle is Not overloaded (refer to page 7 for ‘maximum load information) and that you have followed these instructions. With the exception of ganuine Kawasaki Parts and Accessories, Kawasaki has no control over the design or applica: tion of accessories. In some cases, im- proper installation or use of accessories, ‘or motoreycle modification, will void the motorcycle warranty.

We strongly recommend that all parts and accessories you add to your motorcycle be genuine Kawasaki components, Because a motorcycle is sensitive to changes in weight and aerodynamic forces, you must take extreme cara in carrying cargo, passengers and/or in the fitting of additional accessories. The following general guidelines have been prepared to assist you in making your determinations. LOADING INFORMATION 15 1. Any passenger should be thoroughly familiar with motorcycle operation. “The passenger can affect control of the motoreyele by improper positioning uring cornering, sudden movements, ‘and by interfering with the operator. ‘You should instruct any passenger before riding to keep his feet on the passenger footpegs, sit still while the motoreycle is in motion, and not to interfere with the operation of the motorcycle. Do not carry animals on your motoreyele, 2. Al beggege should be carried as low as possible to reduce the effect on the motorcycle canter of gravity. Baggage weight should also be distributed equally on both sides of the motor cycle. Avoid carrying baggage that extends beyond the rear of the motor- eyele 3, Baggage should be securely attached Make sure that the baggage will not move around while you are riding Recheck baggage security as often as possible (not while the motorcycle is jn motion) and adjust as necessary, 4. Do not carry heavy or bulky items on 9 luggage rack. They are designed for Tight itams, and overloading can affect handling due to changas in weight dis tribution and aerodynamic forces. 6. Do not install accessories or carry| baggage that impairs the performance fof the motorcycle. Make sure that you have not adversely affected any fighting component, road clesrence,, banking capability (ie, lean angle), Control operation, whee! travel, front fork movement, of any other aspect of ‘operation SSS 16 LOADING INFORMATION ‘ 6. Weight attached to the handlebar o front fork will increase the mass of the steering assembly and can result in ‘an unsafe riding condition, 7. Fairings, windshields, backrests, and other large items have the capability of adversely affecting stability and han: dling of the motorcycle, not only because of their weight, but also due to the aerodynamic forces acting on ‘these surfaces while the motorcycle is in operation. Poorly designed or in: stalled items can result in an unsefe riding condition. 8 This motorcycle was not intended to bbe equipped with a sidecer or to be Used to tow any trailer or other vehicle Kewaseki does not manufacture side- ars or trailers and cannot predict the effects of such accessories on handling fr stability, but can only warn that the effects can be adverse and that Kawasaki cannot assume responsibility for the results of such unintended use of the motorcycle, Furthermore, any adverse effects on motorcycle com onents caused by the use of such accessories will not be remedied under warranty. eee LOADING INFORMATION 17 sermenmnmnnmnnn GENERAL INFORMATION ‘0 | Brake Lever and Pedal See Pg. 78 for a list of recommended The lever on the right side of the handlebar operates the front brake, and the foot pedal on the right side operates the rear brake, ‘The front and rear brakes are hydrau: lic disc brake type.
