Safety labels on the motorcycle
Safety Messages preceded by a safety alert symbol and one of three signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These signal words mean:
3DANGER
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
3WARNING
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

Safety Guidelines

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. 10
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 motorcycle is stopped.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles, practice riding in a safe area to become familiar with how this motorcycle works and handles, and to become accustomed to the motorcycle'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
Make Yourself Easy to See
Motorcycle Safety
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.
4
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It's important to keep your motorcycle properly maintained and in safe riding condition. Inspect your motorcycle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits (2 P. 15), and do not modify your motorcycle or install accessories that would make your motorcycle unsafe (2 P. 14).
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.
20161019161055_32MGC6500_eng_BOOK Page 8 Wednesday, October 19 2016 16:12:26 JST
Safety Guidelines
If you decide to continue riding, first turn the ignition switch to the (Off) position, and evaluate the condition of your motorcycle. 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 motorcycle may have suffered damage that is not immediately apparent. Have your motorcycle 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 motorcycle inside a garage or other enclosure.
3WARNING
Running the engine of your motorcycle while in an enclosed or even partially enclosed area can cause a rapid build­up of toxic carbon monoxide gas. Breathing this colourless, odorless gas can quickly cause unconsciousness and lead to death. Only run your motorcycle's engine when it is located in a well ventilated area outdoors.

Riding Precautions

Riding Precautions
Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running, follow these guidelines to ensure your motorcycle's future reliability and performance.
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
Ride conservatively.
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
Avoid excessively hard braking and downshifting.
u Sudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle'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. Use engine braking with intermittent use of the brakes to reduce speed.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.

20161019161055_32MGC6500_eng_BOOK Page 15 Wednesday, October 19 2016 16:12:26 JST
Riding Precautions
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
#
Motorcycle Safety
This model is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) designed to help prevent the brakes from locking up during hard braking.
ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a longer stopping distance.
ABS does not function at speeds below 10
km/h (6 mph).
The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly
when applying the brakes. This is normal.
Always use the recommended front/rear
tires and sprockets to ensure correct ABS operation.
12
Engine Braking
#
Engine braking helps slow your motorcycle down when you release the throttle. For further slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use engine braking with intermittent use of the brakes to reduce speed when descending long, steep slopes.
Wet or Rainy Conditions
#
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet brakes further reduce braking efficiency. Exercise extra caution when braking in wet conditions. If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while riding at low speed to help them dry.
20161019161055_32MGC6500_eng_BOOK Page 16 Wednesday, October 19 2016 16:12:26 JST
Riding Precautions
Parking
Park on a firm, level surface.
If you must park on a slight incline or loose
surface, park so that the motorcycle 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.
To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebar and remove the key when leaving the motorcycle unattended. Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.
Parking with the Side Stand or Centre
#
Stand
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Using the side stand
Push the side stand down. Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its weight rests on the side stand.
Using the centre stand
To lower the centre stand, stand on the left side of the motorcycle. Hold the left handle grip and the left grab rail. Press down on the tip of the centre stand with your right foot and, simultaneously, pull up and back.
3.
Turn the handlebar fully to the left.
u Turning the handlebar to the right
reduces stability and may cause the motorcycle to fall.
4.
Turn the ignition switch to the (Lock) position and remove the key. 2 P. 34
