ACCESSORY USE
The addition of unsuitable acces-
sories can lead to unsafe operat-
ing conditions. It is not possible
for Suzuki to test each accessory
on the market or combinations of
all the available accessories; how-
ever, your dealer can assist you in
selecting quality accessories and
installing them correctly. Use
extreme caution when selecting
and installing the accessories on
your motorcycle and consult your
Suzuki dealer if you have any
questions.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION
GUIDELINES
• Install aerodynamic-affecting
accessories, such as a fairing,
windshield, backrests, saddle-
bags, and travel trunks, as low
as possible, as close to the
motorcycle and as near the
center of gravity as is feasible.
Check that the mounting brack-
ets and other attachment hard-
ware are rigidly mounted.
• Inspect for proper ground clear-
ance and bank angle. Inspect
that the accessory does not
interfere with the operation of
the suspension, steering or
other control operations.
• Accessories fitted to the han-
dlebars or the front fork area
can create serious stability
problems. This extra weight will
cause the motorcycle to be less
responsive to your steering
control. The weight may also
cause oscillations in the front
end and lead to instability prob-
lems. Accessories added to the
handlebars or front fork of the
machine should be as light as
possible and kept to a mini-
mum.
WARNING
Improper installation of acces-
sories or modification of the
motorcycle may cause
changes in handling which
could lead to an accident.
Never use improper accesso-
ries, and make sure that any
accessories that are used are
properly installed. All parts and
accessories added to the
motorcycle should be genuine
Suzuki parts or their equivalent
designed for use on this motor-
cycle. Install and use them
according to their instructions.
If you have any questions, con-
tact your Suzuki dealer.
