Sudden movements by the passenger will make the bike difficult to control. The passenger should always move when the operator does. This includes leaning forward when the bike speeds up, leaning back when slowing and leaning to the side when turning. Make sure the bike is built for carrying a passenger. Check the owner’s manual to see if the air pressure in the tires needs adjustment. The passenger should sit as far forward as possible without crowding the operator. Make sure the passenger knows that it is necessary to sit still, and hold on to the driver’s waist and/or any of the bike’s hand grips. Both of the passenger’s feet should stay on the foot pegs, even when stopped. Hot pipes and mufflers are a major hazard for passengers. To allow for the extra weight of the passenger, adjust the shock absorbers and check the slack in the drive chain.
