You should transport a passenger only if your motorcycle is appropriately equipped and adjusted to do so. Among other things, your motorcycle should have separate footrests for the passenger and a seat that is large enough for more than one person to sit comfortably. You may need to adjust your headlight, tire pressure, and suspension to accommodate the extra weight of a passenger.
- Equip and adjust your motorcycle to carry the passenger.
- Ride as you would without a passenger.
- Ensure that footrests are available for only you, the operator.
- Instruct the passenger after you begin your trip.
