Honda CRF250X 2006 User Manual

Loading
Your Honda 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
motorcycle.
In addition, exceeding the weight limits or
carrying an unbalanced load can seriously affect
your motorcycle’s handling, braking, and
stability. Adding accessories or making
modifications that change this motorcycle’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.
Loading
How much weight you put on your motorcycle,
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 4, 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
cause a crash and you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Follow all loading guidelines in this
manual.
