ENGINE OIL

Engine Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level each day before riding the motorcycle. The level must be maintained between the upper (2) and lower (3) marks on the dipstick (1).

1.Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.

2.Stop the engine and hold the motorcycle in an upright position on firm, level ground.

3.After a few minutes, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert the dipstick without screwing it in. The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick.

4.If required, add the specified oil up to the upper level mark. Do not overfill.

5.Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick, check for oil leaks.

CAUTION Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.

TYRES

Proper air pressure will provide maximum stability, riding comfort and tire life. Check tire pressure frequently and adjust if necessary.

NOTE

Tire pressure should be checked before you ride while the tyres are

cold.

 

Select the right replacement tire in accordance with the following specifications:

Cold tire

Front: 175 ( 1.75, 25 )

pressures kPa ( kg/cm2, psi )

Rear : 225 ( 2.25, 33 )

Tire size

Front: 2.75 - 17 41P

Rear : 2.75 - 17 41P

 

Check the tires for cuts, embedded nails, ore other sharp objects. See your authorized Honda Dealer for replacement of damaged tires or punctured inner tubes.

WARNING

Do not attempt to patch a damaged tire or inner tube. Wheel balance

 

 

and tire reliability may be impaired.

Improper tire inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and create a safety hazard. Under inflation may result in the tire slopping on, or coming off of the rim causing tire deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle control.

Operation with excessively worn tire is hazardous and will adversely affect traction and handling.

OPERATION

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

WARNING If the Pre-ride Inspection is not performed, serious damage or an accident may result.

Inspect your motorcycle every day before you ride it. The items listed here will only take a few minutes to check, and in the long run they can save time, expense and possibly you life.

1.Engine oil level - add engine oil if required. Check for leaks.

2.Fuel level - fill the fuel tank when necessary. Check for leaks.

3.Brakes - check operation. Adjust free play if necessary.

4.Tyres - check condition and pressure.

5.Drive chain - check condition and slack. Adjust and lubricate if necessary.

6.Throttle - check for smooth opening and full closing in all steering positions.

7.Lights - check that headlight, tail/brake light, turn signals, indicators.

8.Engine stop switch - check for proper function.

9.Battery electrolyte - check the level and add if necessary

Correct any discrepancy before you ride. Contact your authorized Honda dealer for assistance if you cannot correct the problem.

Starting Procedure

Cold engine

1.Raise the choke lever (1) to Fully ON (A).

2.Open the throttle slightly and operate the kick starter with the right foot, starting from the top of the stroke and following through to the bottom with a rapid and continuous kick.

CAUTION Do not allow the kick starter to snap back freely against the pedal stop as engine case damage could result.

Starting in Extremely Cold Weather

Prime the engine before starting by cranking the engine several times with the kick starter. The ignition switch should be OFF, the choke lever Fully ON (A) and the throttle opened slightly.

Flooded Engine

If the engine fails to start after several repeated attempts, it may have become flooded with excess fuel. To clear the engine, turn off the engine stop switch and lower the choke lever to Fully OFF (B). Open the throttle fully and crank the engine several times with the kick starter. Turn the engine stop switch to RUN and open the throttle slightly; start the engine using the kick starter.

RUNNING-IN

During the first 1,000 km ( 600 miles ) , do not operate the motorcycle at more than 80 % of the maximum speed in any gear. A void full throttle operation, and do not operate for a long time at one speed. During initial running in, newly machined surfaces will be in contact with each other and these surfaces will wear in quickly. Running-in Maintenance at 1,000 km ( 600 miles ) is designed to compensate for this initial minor wear. Timely performance of the running-in maintenance will ensure optimum service life and performance from the engine.

MAINTENANCE

When service is required, remember that your authorized Honda dealer knows your motorcycle best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it. The scheduled maintenance may also be performed by a qualified service facility that normally does this kind of work; or you may perform most of the work yourself it you are mechanically qualified and have the proper tools and service data.

These instructions are based on the assumption that the motorcycle will be used exclusively for its designed purpose. Sustained high speed operation, or operation in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. Consult your authorized Honda dealer for recommendations applicable to you individual needs and use.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

The following items require some mechanical knowledge. Certain items ( particularly those marked* and** ) may require more technical information and tools. Consult your authorized Honda Dealer. Perform the Pre-ride Inspection at each scheduled maintenance period.
