Passengers, Loads and Roadside Incidents

Prepare the passenger

The passenger should use suitable protective equipment, keep feet on the footrests and avoid sudden movement. Acceleration, braking and steering will feel different.

Secure the load

Keep luggage balanced, low and firmly attached. Nothing should interfere with steering, suspension, lights, exhaust or moving parts.

Respond to problems

If the motorcycle develops a wobble, puncture or mechanical problem, avoid abrupt control inputs. Reduce speed progressively and move to a safe stopping place when possible.
