A Few Words About Safety
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very
important. Operating this vehicle safely is an
important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about
safety, we have provided operating
procedures and other information on safety
labels and in this manual. This information
alerts you to potential hazards that could
hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to
warn you about all hazards associated with
operating or maintaining a vehicle. You must
use your own good judgement.
You will find important safety information in a
variety of forms, including:
● Safety labels on the vehicle
●
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.
3CAUTION
You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow
instructions.
Other important information is
provided under the following titles:
NOTICE
Information to help you avoid
damage to your vehicle, other
property, or the environment.

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 flames
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 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 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 vehicle is stopped.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other vehicles, practice
riding in a safe area to become familiar with
how this vehicle works and handles, and to
become accustomed to the vehicle'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
Vehicle 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 or Use Drugs and Ride
Alcohol or drugs 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. The same is true for drug use. Don't drink
or use and ride, and don't let your friends do it
either.
4
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It's important to keep your vehicle properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Inspect your vehicle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits (2 P. 11), and do not modify
your vehicle or install accessories that would
make your vehicle unsafe (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.
Safety Guidelines
If you decide to continue riding, first turn the
ignition switch to the (Off) position, and
evaluate the condition of your vehicle. 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 vehicle may have suffered damage that is
not immediately apparent. Have your vehicle
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 a confined or even
partly enclosed area, the air you breathe could
contain a dangerous amount of carbon
monoxide.
Never run your vehicle inside a garage or other
enclosure.
3WARNING
Running the engine of your vehicle
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 vehicle's engine when it
is located in a well ventilated area
outdoors.

Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
Vehicle Safety
● Ride cautiously and keep your hands on the
handlebar and feet on the floor.
● Instruct your passenger to keep their hands
on the grab rail or your waist and their feet
on the footpegs while riding.
● Always consider the safety of your
passenger, as well as other drivers and
riders.
●
Face shield with unobstructed field of vision
or other approved eye protection
3WARNING
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance
of serious injury or death in a crash.
Make sure that you and any passenger
always wear an approved helmet and
protective apparel.
Protective Apparel
Make sure that you and any passenger are
wearing an approved helmet, eye protection,
and high-visibility protective clothing. Avoid
wearing loose clothes that could get caught on
any part of the vehicle. Ride defensively in
response to weather and road conditions.

Riding Precautions
Riding Precautions
Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your vehicle'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 vehicle'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 vehicle 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.

Riding Precautions
Wet or Rainy Conditions
#
Vehicle Safety
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.
Parking
● Park on a firm, level surface.
● If you must park on a slight incline or loose
surface, park so that the vehicle 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.
II CA type
● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebar and remove the key and close
the shutter when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
8
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.
CA type
●
To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebar, lock the ignition switch (2 P. 37)
