MOTORCYCLESAFETY

Motorcycle riding rcqxires specialefforts on your part to e sure your safery.Know these
requirementsbefore you ride,
SAFE RIDING RULES
l. Always make a pre-ride inspection
(pa9e 4 2t be fore yo u s lar t r he engine.
Y ou may pre ve nl an acc t dent or equipment damage.
2. Many accidents involve inexperienced
riders. Most states require a special
motorcycle riding test or license.
Make surc you are qualified before
you ride. NEVER lend your motorcycle to an inexpedenced rider.
3. Many automobile/motorcycle accidents
happen because the automobile driver
does not "see" the moto.cyclist. Make
yourself conspicuous to help avoid.the
accident that wasn't your fault:
* Wear bright or reflective
clourlng.
* Don't dde in another motodst,s
"blind spot."
4- Obey ali federal, state, and local laws
and regulations.
* Excessive speed is a factor in many
accidents. Obey the speed limits,
and NEVER travel faster than conditions warrant.
* Signal before you make a
turn ot
lane change. Your size and rnaneuverability can surprise other molorists.
5. Don't let other motorists surprise you.
Use extra caution at intersections,
parking lot entrances and exits, and
driveways.
6. Keep both hands on the handlebars
and both leet oI1 the footpegs while
riding. A passengershould hold on to
the motorcycle or the operator with
both hands, and keep both feet on the
passengerfootpegs.
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
l. Most motorcycle accident fatalities are
due to head injuries: ALWAYS wear a
helmet. You should atso weat a face
shield or goggles, boots, gioves, and
protective clothing. A passengerneeds
the same protection.
2. The exhaust system becomes very hot
during operation, and it remains hot
after operation. Never touch any part of
the hot exhaust system. Wear clothing
that fully covers your legs.
3. Do not-wear loose clothing which could
catch on the control levers, footpegs,
or wheels.
MODIFICATIONS
UMlr.!!!?{
Modification of the motorcycle, or remowl
of original equipment may render the
vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obey all federal,
state, and locol equipment tegulations.
LOADING AND ACCESSORIES
Etr@
*
To prevent 4n qccident, use extreme
corc \rhen adding and riding with
of
acces$ories Lnd catgo. Addition
dccessofies and cafgo can reduce a
motorcy cle's stability, perfortnonce tnd
safe operuting speed. Never ride an
dt
motorcycle
acces$ofy equipped
speed.sabove 80 mph. And remember
that this 80 mph limit may be red ced
by in$tdllatiofi of non'Honda accesso'
rie!, improper loading, teorn tires and
poor
condition,
overall motorcycle
roaal ot weother conditions, etc. These
generdl guidelines may help you decide
whether or how to equip yout motor'
cycle, and how to lodd it safelY.
Loading
The combined weight of the dder, passenger, cargo and additional accessodes must
not exceed 395 lbs (179 kg), the vehicle
capacity load. Cargo weight alone should
not exceed 60 lbs.
L Keep cargo and accessory weight low
and close to the center of the motorcycle. Load weight equally on both
sides to minimize imbala[ce. As weight
is located farther lrom the motorcycle's
center of gravity, handling is proportionally affected.
2 . Adjust tire pressure (TIRES, page 5),
front fork air pressure and reat shock
absorber air pressure (SUSPENSION,
page 8) to suit load weight and dding
conditions.
3. Luggage racks are for lightweight items.
Do not caffy more than 20 lbs. of cargo
on a luggage rack behind the seat. Bulky
items too far behind the dder may cause
wind turbulence that impats handling.
All cargo and accessories must be
secure for stable handling. Recheck
cargo security and accessory mounts
tiequently.
5 . Do not attach large, heavy items to the
handlebars, front
forks, or fender.
Unst able h an dlin g o r s low s leer ing
response may result.
6. Do not exceed the maximum capacity
load of Honda accessories.
Travel trulk: 20 lbs (9 kg)
Saddlebagsi 20 lbs (9 kg) each side
Fairing pockets:
5 lbs (2 kg) each side
7. Honda fairing, travel trunk and saddlebags are designed for GLl100 and
GL1100 INTERSTATE only. Do not
ins r all lhe m o n a n y o t h e r m o t o r c y c l e .
8. Do not store adicles between fairing
and motorcycle. They may interfere
with steering causing loss of control.
9. Do not rcmove the weight attached to
the lront forks near the steering head
when the faidng is installed. Stability
may be adversely affected.
Accessories
Genui[e Honda accessories have been
specifically designed for and tested on
this motorcycle. Becausethe factory cannot test all other accessories, you are
personally responsible for proper selection, installation, and use of non-Honda
accessories.Always follow the guidelines
under Loading above, and these:
3
Carefully inspect the accessory to make
s ure il d oe s no l o bsc ur e an) light s .
reduce ground clearance and banking
angle, or limil suspe nsiont r av el. s t eer ing travel or control oPeration.
2. Large fork-mounted faidngs or windshields,or poorly designedor improperly mounted fairings can produce aerodynamic foaces that cause unstable
handling. Do not install fahings that
decrease cooling air flow to the engine.
3. Accessories which alter your riding
position by moving hands or feet away
ftom controls may increase reaction
time in an emergency.
4. Do not add electrical equipment that
will exceed the motorcycle's electrical
system capacity. A blown fuse could
cause a dangerous loss of lights or
enginepowe r al n iShl or in lr af f ic .
5. This motorcycle was not desig[ed to
pull a sidecar or trailer. Handling may
be seriously impaired if so equipped.
6. Any modification of the cooling system
may cau se o \erh ea ting and s er ious
l
engine damage. Do not modify the
r adialor sh r o u d s o r l n s r a l l a c c e s s o r i e s
which block or deflect air away from
the radiator.
TIRES: TUBELESS
This motorcycle is equipped with tubeless
tires, valves,and wheel rims. Use only tires
marked "TUBELESS" and tubelessvalves
on rims marked"TUBELESSTIRE APPLICABLE."
Proper air pressurewill provide maxmum
stability, riding comfort and tire life
Check tire prcssurefrequently and adjust
if necessary.
NOTE:
* Tire pressureshould be checked when
the tires are "cold," before you ride.
* Tubelesstires have some degreeof selfsealing ability if they are punctured,
and leakageis often very slow. Inspect
very closely for punctures, especially
if the tire is not lully inflated.

Do not install tube-type tires on tubeless rims. The beads ma! not seat and
the tires could slip on the rims, causing
tire deflatiotl.
Do rrot install a tube inside a tubelest
tire. Excessite heat build-up may cause
the tube to burst resulting in rdpid tire

balancing is required, see your authorized Honda dealer. llheel baltncing is
required after tire repair or replacement.
Do not exceed 50 mph for the firct 24
houls after tire repair, or repa failure
and tire deflation may result. Never use
,
q fepaifed tife at speeds over 80 mph.
Replace the tire if the sidewall is
punctufed
or damoged. Siderarall flex_
ing may cause rcWt failure and tire
deflation.
