Suzuki will not be responsible in any way for personal injury or damage to the motorcycle caused by frame modifications.
Bolt-on-accessories that do not modify the frame in any way may be installed, provided that the loading limit is not exceeded. For loading limit, refer to the accessory use and motorcycle loading section of the owner's manual.
