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 rails 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
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 ( your motorcycle or install accessories that would make your motorcycle unsafe (
2 P. 15), and do not modify
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.
If you decide to continue riding, first evaluate the condition of your motorcycle. If the engine is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid leaks,

WARNING
13 CBR500R-32MGZB000.book 5 ページ 2012年12月12日 水曜日 午後3時47分
Safety Guidelines
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 gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you.
Avoid any areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.
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.

Riding Precautions

Riding Precautions
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
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.
Ride conservatively.
Avoid excessively hard braking and sudden
shifting to a lower gear.
u Sudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle’s stability.
u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk wheel slippage.
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u The wheels lock more easily on such
surfaces, and braking distances are longer.
Avoid continuous braking.
u Repeated braking can overheat the brakes,
reducing their effectiveness.

Riding Precautions
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
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 tyres 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.
Motorcycle Safety

Riding Precautions
3.
Parking
Park on a firm, level paved 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 handlebars and remove the key when leaving the motorcycle unattended. Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.
Parking with the Side Stand
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Push the side stand down.
Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its weight rests on the side stand.
4.
Turn the handlebars fully to the left.
u Turning the handlebars 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. 33
Refuelling and Fuel Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to protect the engine 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.
Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or an
oil/petrol mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Accessories & Modifications

Accessories & Modifications
We strongly advise that you do not add any accessories that were not specifically designed for your motorcycle by Honda or make modifications to your motorcycle from its original design. Doing so can make it unsafe. Modifying your motorcycle may also void your warranty and make your motorcycle illegal to operate on public roads and highways. Before deciding to install accessories on your motorcycle be certain the modification is safe and legal.
Improper accessories or modifications can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding accessories and modifications.
Do not pull a trailer with, or attach a sidecar to, your motorcycle. Your motorcycle was not designed for these attachments, and their use can seriously impair your motorcycle’s handling.
