Motorcycle Safety 3
Your CRF was designed as a rider-only
motorcycle. It was not designed to carry a
passenger or cargo. A passenger or cargo could
interfere with your ability to move around to
maintain your balance and control of the CRF.
In addition, exceeding the weight limits or carrying
an unbalanced load can seriously affect your
CRF’s handling, braking, and stability.
Adding accessories or making modifications that
change this CRF’s design and performance can
also make it unsafe. Also, the weight of any
accessories will reduce the maximum load the
motorcycle can carry.
More specific information on load limits,
accessories, and modifications follows.
How much weight you put on your CRF, and how
you load it, are important to your safety. If you
decide to carry cargo, you should be aware of the
following information.
Loading Guidelines
As discussed on page 2, we recommended that you
do not carry any cargo on this motorcycle.
However, if you decide to carry cargo, ride at
reduced speeds and follow these commonsense
guidelines:
Keep cargo small and light. Make sure it
cannot easily be caught on brush or other
objects, and that it does not interfere with your
ability to shift position to maintain balance and
stability.
Place weight as close to the center of the
motorcycle as possible.
Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a
sleeping bag or tent) to the handlebar, fork, or
front fender.
Check that both tires are inflated properly.

WARNING
Overloading or carrying a passenger can

hurt or killed.
