Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety:
● Perform all routine and regular inspections
specified in this manual.
● Stop the engine and keep sparks and flame
away before filling the fuel tank.
● Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly
enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in exhaust
gases is toxic and can kill you.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets and protective apparel
significantly reduce the number and severity of
head and other injuries. So always wear an
approved motorcycle helmet and protective
apparel.
2 P. 6
Before Riding
Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally
focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check
that you and your passenger are both wearing
an approved motorcycle helmet and protective
apparel. Instruct your passenger on holding onto
the grab rail or your waist, leaning with you in
turns, and keeping their feet on the footpegs,
even when the scooter is stopped.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other scooters, practice
riding in a safe area to become familiar with how
this scooter works and handles, and to become
accustomed to the scooter’s size and weight.
Ride Defensively
Always pay attention to other vehicles around
you, and do not assume that other drivers see
you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an
evasive maneuver.

Safety Guidelines
Scooter Safety
Make Yourself Easy to See
Make yourself more visible, especially at night, by
wearing bright reflective clothing, positioning
yourself so other drivers can see you, signaling
before turning or changing lanes, and using your
horn when necessary.
Ride within Your Limits
Never ride beyond your personal abilities or
faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and
inattention can impair your ability to use good
judgement and ride safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one alcoholic
drink can reduce your ability to respond to
changing conditions, and your reaction time gets
worse with every additional drink. Don’t drink
and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride
either.

Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It’s important to keep your scooter properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Inspect your scooter before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits (
your scooter or install accessories that would
make your scooter unsafe (
2 P. 11), and do not modify
2 P. 10).
If You are Involved in a Crash
Personal safety is your first priority. If you or
anyone else has been injured, take time to assess
the severity of the injuries and whether it is safe
to continue riding. Call for emergency assistance
if needed. Also follow applicable laws and
regulations if another person or vehicle is
involved in the crash.
If you decide to continue riding, first turn the
ignition switch to the
evaluate the condition of your scooter.

WARNING
Inspect for fluid leaks, check the tightness of
critical nuts and bolts, and check the handlebar,
control levers, brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly
and cautiously.
Your scooter may have suffered damage that is
not immediately apparent. Have your scooter
thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility
as soon as possible.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a
colourless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death.
If you run the engine in confined or even partly
enclosed area, the air you breathe could contain
a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide. Never
run your scooter inside a garage or other
enclosure.
Running the engine of your scooter while
in an enclosed or even partially enclosed
area can cause a rapid build-up of toxic
carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing this colourless, odorless gas
can quickly cause unconsciousness and
lead to death.
Only run your scooter's engine when it is
located in a well ventilated area outdoors.

Riding Precautions
Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your scooter’s
future reliability and performance.
● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
● Avoid hard braking.
● Ride conservatively.
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
● Avoid excessively hard braking.
u Sudden braking can reduce the scooter’s
stability.
u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u The tyres slip more easily on such surfaces
and braking distances are longer.
● Avoid continuous braking.
u Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can seriously
overheat the brakes, reducing their
effectiveness.
● For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
front and rear brakes together.
Combi Brake
#
Your scooter is equipped with a brake system
that distributes the braking force between the
front and rear brakes.
The distribution of the braking force applied to
the front and rear brakes when operating the
front brake lever only and when operating the
rear brake lever only is different.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
front and rear brakes together.

If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while
riding at low speed to help them dry.
Parking
● Park on a firm, level surface.
● If you must park on a slight incline or loose
surface, park so that the scooter cannot move
or fall over.
● Make sure that high-temperature parts cannot
come into contact with flammable materials.
● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes and
other high-temperature parts until they cool
down.
8
● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebar and remove the key and close
the shutter when leaving the scooter
unattended.
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.

WARNING
Importance of Maintenance
Keeping your scooter well-maintained is
absolutely essential to your safety and to protect
your investment, obtain maximum performance,
avoid breakdowns, and reduce air pollution.
Maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. Be
sure to inspect your scooter before each ride,
and perform the periodic checks specified in the
Maintenance Schedule.
2 P. 42
Improperly maintaining your scooter or
failing to correct a problem before you
ride can cause a crash in which you can
be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner’s manual.
Maintenance Safety
Always read the maintenance instructions before
you begin each task, and make sure that you
have the tools, parts, and skills required. We
cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard
that can arise in performing maintenance. Only
you can decide whether or not you should
perform a given task.
Follow these guidelines when performing
maintenance.
● Stop the engine and remove the key.
● Place your scooter on a firm, level surface
using the side stand, centre stand or a
maintenance stand to provide support.
● Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before
servicing as you can get burned.
● Run the engine only when instructed, and do
so in a well-ventilated area.
41
Page 46
Maintenance
Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance schedule specifies the
maintenance requirements necessary to
ensure safe, dependable performance, and
proper emission control.
Maintenance work should be performed in
accordance with Honda’s standards and
specifications by properly trained and
equipped technicians. Your dealer meets all of
these requirements. Keep an accurate record
of maintenance to help ensure that your
scooter is properly maintained.
Make sure that whomever performs the
maintenance completes this record.
42
All scheduled maintenance is considered a
normal owner operating cost and will be
charged to you by your dealer. Retain all
receipts. If you sell the scooter, these receipts
should be transferred with the scooter to the
new owner.
Honda recommends that your dealer should
road test your scooter after each periodic
maintenance is carried out.

Pre-ride Inspection
To ensure safety, it is your responsibility to
perform a pre-ride inspection and make sure
that any problem you find is corrected. A preride inspection is a must, not only for safety,
but because having a breakdown, or even a
flat tyre, can be a major inconvenience.
Check the following items before you get on
your scooter:
● Fuel level - Fill fuel tank when necessary.
2 P. 34
● Throttle - Check for smooth opening and
full closing in all steering positions.
● Engine oil level - Add engine oil if
necessary. Check for leaks.
2 P. 64
2 P. 75
● Brakes - Check operation;
Front: check brake fluid level and pads
wear.
2 P. 68, 69
Rear: check shoes wear and freeplay,
adjust if necessary.
● Lights and horn - Check that lights,
2 P. 70, 73
indicators and horn function properly.
● Side stand ignition cut-off system - Check
for proper function.
● Wheels and tyres - Check condition, air
pressure and adjust if necessary.

WARNING
Battery
Your scooter has a maintenance-free type
battery. You do not have to check the battery
electrolyte level or add distilled water. Clean the
battery terminals if they become dirty or
corroded.
Do not remove the battery cap seals. There is no
need to remove the cap when charging.
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be
permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen
gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to
explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a face
shield, or have a skilled mechanic do the
battery servicing.
Cleaning the Battery Terminals

Inspecting and Replacing Fuses
#
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to
remove and inspect fuses. If a fuse is blown,
replace with a fuse of the same rating. For fuse
ratings, see “Specifications.”
2 P. 105
The battery has a limited life span. Consult your
dealer about when you should replace the
battery. Always replace the battery with another
maintenance-free battery of the same type.
Installing non-Honda electrical accessories can overload
the electrical system, discharging the battery and possibly
damaging the system.

Caring for Your Scooter
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean scooter
makes it easier to spot potential problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of corrosion.
Always wash your scooter thoroughly after riding
on coastal or treated roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
1.
Rinse your scooter thoroughly using a low
pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.
2.
If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel with
mild cleaner to remove road grime.
u Clean the headlight lens, panels, and other
plastic components with extra care to avoid
scratching them. Avoid directing water into
the air cleaner, muffler, and electrical parts.
3.
Thoroughly rinse your scooter with plenty of
clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
94
4.
After the scooter dries, lubricate any moving
parts.
u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto the
brakes or tyres. Brake discs, pads, drum or
shoes contaminated with oil will suffer
greatly reduced braking effectiveness and
can lead to a crash.
5.
Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
u Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents. These can
damage the metal, paint, and plastic on
your scooter.
Keep the wax clear of the tyres and brakes.
u If your scooter has any mat painted parts,
do not apply a coat of wax to the mat
painted surface.
