The combustion process produces carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC). Control of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to
form photochemical smog when subject to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. utilizes various systems (page 1-43) to reduce carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.
CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging crankcase emissions into the atmosphere.
Blow-by gas is returned to the combustion chamber through the air cleaner and throttle body.

EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The exhaust emission control system is composed of a pulse secondary air supply system, a three-way catalytic converter
and PGM-FI system.
No adjustment should be made for the exhaust emission control system. The exhaust emission control system is separate
from the crankcase emission control system.
SECONDARY AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM
The pulse secondary air supply system introduces filtered air into the exhaust gases in the exhaust port. Fresh air is drawn
into the exhaust port by the function of the PAIR (Pulse Secondary Air Injection) control valve.
This charge of fresh air promotes burning of the unburned exhaust gases and changes a considerable amount of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into relatively harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor.
The reed valve prevents reverse air flow through the system. The PAIR control valve is operated by the solenoid valve. The
solenoid valve is controlled by the PGM-FI unit, and the fresh air passage is opened/closed according the running condition.
No adjustments to the secondary air supply system should be made, although periodic inspection of the components is
recommended.
THREE-WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER
This motorcycle is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter.
The three-way catalytic converter is in the exhaust system. Through chemical reactions, they convert HC, CO and NOx in
the engine's exhaust to carbon dioxide (CO
No adjustment to these systems should be made although periodic inspection of the components is recommended.

IACV (Idle Air Control Valve)····················· 2-2CAMSHAFT POSITION DETECTION WITH
This motorcycle adopts an Idle Air Control system for the inline-four engine, this system is composed the IACV and distribution hoses onto the throttle body. The IACV consists of a step motor and a slide valve, and controls the amount of air
bypassed around the closed throttle body. With the ignition switch on, the amount of inlet air is determined from information detected by the ECT sensor. During engine start-up or while maintaining idle (throttle valve closed), the amount of
inlet air is corrected by various sensors' information.
This system eliminates the need for manual idle speed adjustment and the air screw adjustment for the throttle body synchronization.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
VALVE
STEP MOTOR
VALVE
STEP MOTOR
OPERATION
The ECM controls the IACV when engine idling, so the ECM stops to control the IACV operation at closed position in case
that the ECM detects the following condition:
• Throttle valve open
• Neutral switch OFF (in gear) and clutch switch OFF (release clutch lever)
When engine idling, from ignition switch ON to warming up, the ECM control the IACV step motor as following operations:
With the ignition switch ON
When the ignition switch ON, the IACV activates initial function, idle –
open – idle position. There will be a step motor operating sound.
Start the engine – warming up
This optimizes the bypass opening with the throttle valve closed, and
the corrected amount of inlet air passes through allowing proper
engine start up.
After the engine has started, the ECM controls the IACV slide valve
position and adjust the amount of inlet air in response to the engine
coolant temperature.
After warming up – idling
When the ECM denotes the engine warming-up by the engine coolant
temperature, it operates the step motor to move the slide valve to the
closed position. This results in a reduced amount of bypassed air compared to the amount during engine warm-up, which allows proper
engine idle to be maintained.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
CAMSHAFT POSITION DETECTION WITH MAP SENSOR
SUMMARY
For PGM-FI, it is necessary to detect the stroke position not only of the crankshaft (TDC position) but also of the camshaft
(TDC position in compression stroke). Existing PGM-FI for inline-4 engine, the system uses the CKP sensor and CMP sensor
for the injection timing control. This motorcycle adopts the PGM-FI system that has the new detection system of the camshaft position. This PGM-FI system allows for the camshaft position detection with the MAP sensor and CKP sensor, and
eliminates CMP sensor.
The detection system consists of the crankshaft rotor and CKP sensor for the crankshaft position (TDC position) detection,
and MAP sensor connected to No.1, 2, 3 throttle manifold via vacuum hoses for the camshaft position (TDC position in
compression stroke) detection.
DETECTION SYSTEM
The ECM always monitors the manifold pressure by the MAP sensor signal and figures it. In response to the camshaft position (TDC position in compression stroke), the MAP figure changes its wave profile. The ECM recognizes these wave profile
repetition and combined with the CKP sensor, then detects the camshaft position.

system is located on the cylinder head cover.
• The secondary air supply system introduces filtered air into exhaust gases in the exhaust port.
The secondary air is drawn into the exhaust port
whenever there is negative pressure pulse in the
exhaust system. This charged secondary air promotes burning of the unburned exhaust gases
and changes a considerable amount of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into relatively harmless carbon dioxide and water.

any signs of heat
damage, inspect
the reed valves in

BRAKE FLUID
Spilled fluid can damage painted, plastic or rubber
parts. Place a rag over these parts whenever the
system is serviced.
• Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are
not compatible with each other.
• Do not allow foreign material to enter the system
when filling the reservoir.
When the fluid level is low, check the brake pads for
wear (page 4-26). A low fluid level may be due to
wear of the brake pads. If the brake pads are worn,
the caliper piston is pushed out, and this accounts
for a low reservoir level.
If the brake pads are not worn and the fluid level is
low, check entire system for leaks (page 4-27).

Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is
unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and
water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
• The oil pump can be serviced with the engine installed in the frame.
• The service procedures in this section must be performed with the engine oil drained.
• When removing and installing the oil pump, use care not to allow dust or dirt to enter the engine.
• If any portion of the oil pump is worn beyond the specified service limits, replace the oil pump as an assembly.
• After the oil pump has been installed, check that there are no oil leaks and that oil pressure is correct.
