Warning
Continued
High-speed operation in any other
circumstances is dangerous and will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
Warning
Never ride an accessory-equipped
motorcycle, or a motorcycle carrying a
payload of any kind, at speeds above
80 mph (130 km/h). In either/both of
these conditions, speeds in excess of
80 mph (130 km/h) should not be
attempted even where the legal speed
limit permits this.
The presence of accessories and/or
payload will cause changes in the
stability and handling of the
motorcycle.
Failure to allow for changes in
motorcycle stability may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
When riding at high speed, always be
aware that various motorcycle
configuration and environmental
factors can adversely affect the
stability of your motorcycle. For
example:
• Incorrectly balanced loads on both
sides of the motorcycle.
• Incorrectly adjusted front and rear
suspension settings.
• Incorrectly adjusted tyre pressures.
• Excessively or unevenly worn tyres.
• Side winds and turbulence from other
vehicles.
• Loose clothing.
Warning
Continued
Remember that the 80mph (130km/h)
absolute limit will reduce by the fitting
of non-approved accessories, incorrect
loading, worn tyres, overall motorcycle
condition and poor road or weather
conditions.
