Never run through a yellow or red traffic light.
While turning either right or left, watch for pedestrians, animals, as well as vehicles.
Do not leave the curb or parking area without signaling. Be sure your way is clear to enter
moving traffic. A moving line of traffic always has the right of way.
Be sure your license plate is installed in the position specified by law and is clearly visible at
all times. Keep the plate clean.
Ride at a safe speed that is consistent with the type of highway you are on. Pay strict
attention to whether the road is dry, oily, icy or wet.
Watch for debris such as leaves or loose gravel.
Weather and traffic conditions on the highway dictate adjusting your speed and driving
habits accordingly.
Accessories and Cargo
Harley Davidson Motor Company cannot test and make specific recommendations concerning
every accessory or combination of accessories sold. Therefore, the rider must be responsible for
safe operation of the motorcycle when installing accessories or carrying additional weight.
See the Accessory and Cargo section in your Owner's
Manual. Improper loading of cargo or installation of
accessories can affect motorcycle stability and handling,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00021a)
Do not exceed the motorcycle Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR). Exceeding the GVWR can affect stability
and handling, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00016a)
GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of
the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.
The GVWR is shown on the information plate which is located on the frame down tube.
Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can
cause tire overload, reduced braking efficiency and
