operating or maintaining a motorcycle. You
must use your own good judgement.
You will find important safety information in a
variety of forms, including:
● Safety labels on the motorcycle
Safety Messages preceded by a safety alert

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. 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 seat strap 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.

Safety Guidelines
Ride Defensively
Motorcycle Safety
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.
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.
4
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 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. 11), and do not modify
your motorcycle or install accessories that
would make your motorcycle unsafe (2 P. 10).
Safety Guidelines
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 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.
(Off) position, and
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 build-
,
up 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.

Riding Precautions
Engine Braking
#
Motorcycle Safety
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.
8
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.
Riding Precautions
Parking with the Side Stand
#
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Push the side stand down.
3.
Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its
weight rests on the side stand.
4.
Turn the handlebar fully to the left.
u Turning the handlebar to the right
reduces stability and may cause the
motorcycle to fall.
5.
Turn the ignition switch to the
(Lock)
position and remove the key. 2 P. 36
Refuelling and Fuel Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to protect the engine,
fuel system and catalytic converter:
● Use only unleaded petrol.
● Use recommended octane number. Using
lower octane petrol will result in decreased
engine performance.
● Do not use fuels containing a high
concentration of alcohol. 2 P. 121
● Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or
an oil/petrol mixture.
● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Importance of Maintenance
Importance of Maintenance
Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is
absolutely essential to your safety and to
protect your investment, obtain maximum
Maintenance
performance, avoid breakdowns, and reduce air
pollution. Maintenance is the owner's
responsibility. Be sure to inspect your
motorcycle before each ride, and perform the
periodic checks specified in the Maintenance
Schedule. 2 P. 45
3WARNING
Improperly maintaining your
motorcycle 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.
44
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 motorcycle on a firm, level
surface using the side 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.
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 motorcycle is properly maintained.
Make sure that whomever performs the
maintenance completes this record.
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 motorcycle, these
receipts should be transferred with the
motorcycle to the new owner.
Honda recommends that your dealer should
road test your motorcycle after each periodic
maintenance is carried out.
