Safety Information
This section contains information to help you operate your Super XModel
HCXT motorcycle safely and enjoyably while minimizing risk to you, your
passenger, and others. Your ability to safely operate the motorcycle depends on
your judgment and use of safe riding techniques. Motorcycling has inherent risks.
You can minimize those risks, but you can’t eliminate them completely.
We want to keep you riding. Take the time to read and understand the following
information to help minimize risk and maximize pleasure when operating the
motorcycle. Even if you are an experienced rider, read this section and the rest of
the Model HCXT Supplement before riding the motorcycle.
• Read, understand, and use the information contained in this section. This
section contains safety information specific to the Super X Model HXCT, as
well as information about general motorcycle safety.
4Safety Information
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
Gross vehicle weight is the total weight of the motorcycle, the rider, and the
passenger.
• The weight of the motorcycle includes: the motorcycle and all its fluids; any
accessories and their contents; and any additional cargo on the motorcycle.
• The weight of the rider or passenger includes: body weight, all apparel, and
objects in or on apparel.
WARNING
Do not exceed the motorcycle’s gross vehicle weight rating. Exceeding the
weight rating can lessen stability and handling and could cause you to lose
control of the motorcycle.
The gross vehicle weight rating of the Super X Model HCXT is 1140 lb. The total
weight of the Super X Model HXCT is approximately 780 lb with a full capacity of
all fluids, and without any cargo. The combined weight of the rider, passenger, and
cargo cannot exceed 360 lb. The following example shows how to stay within the
gross vehicle weight rating.
5Safety Information
Loading
WARNING
Adding additional weight to the motorcycle can affect its stability, handling
characteristics, and safe operating speed.
Use the following guidelines when attaching cargo to the motorcycle.
• Keep cargo weight to a minimum, and keep it as close to the motorcycle as
possible, to minimize a change in the motorcycle’s center of gravity. Changing
the center of gravity can lessen stability and handling and could cause you to
lose control of the motorcycle.
• Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the motorcycle. Maintain even weight
distribution by checking cargo to make sure they are securely attached to the
motorcycle before riding and whenever you take a break while riding. Uneven

6Safety Information
weight distribution, or cargo that shifts suddenly while you are riding, can make
the motorcycle hard to handle and cause you to lose control of the motorcycle.
• Do not attach large or heavy cargo such as sleeping bags, duffle bags, or tents
to the handlebars, front fork area, or front fender. Cargo placed in any of these
areas can cause instability due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic
changes, and can cause you to lose control of the motorcycle. Such items can
also block air flow to the engine and could cause overheating that can damage
the engine.
• With the exception of highway pegs, do not attach additional weight to the
highway bar.
• Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight limit of the saddlebags (15 lbs. each)
or luggage carrier (5 lbs.), and do not attach cargo to a component not designed
for that purpose, as either of these could result in an equipment failure that
could cause you to lose control of the motorcycle.
Highway Bar
WARNING
The highway bar will not protect you from injury.
