4 Motorcycle Safety
Accessories & Modifications
Modifying your motorcycle or using non-Honda accessories can make your
motorcycle unsafe. Before you consider making any modifications or adding an
accessory, be sure to read the following information.
Improper accessories or
modifications can cause
a crash
in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this
own
er’s manual regarding
accessories and modifications.
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only Honda Genuine Accessories that
have been specifically designed or approved and tested for your motorcycle.
Because Honda cannot test all other accessories, you must be personally
responsible for proper selection, installation, and use of non-Honda accessories.
Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow these guidelines:
• Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce ground
clearance and lean angle, limit suspension travel or steering travel, alter your
riding position, or interfere with operating any controls.
• Do not add any electrical equipment that will exceed the motorcycle’s
electrical system capacity (page 219).
A blown fuse can cause a loss of lights
or engine power (page 206).
• Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your motorcycle. This motorcycle was
not designed for these attachments, and their use can seriously impair your
motorcycle’s handling.
• Carefully
consider the weight of any accessories and any cargo stored in
those accessories to avoid exceeding the maximum weight limits.
