A Few Words About Safety

Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. Operating this motorcycle 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 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
symbol and one of three signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These signal words mean:
3DANGER

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. 13
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.
Be Alert for Off-road Hazards
The terrain can be present a variety of challenges when you ride off-road. Continually “read” the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts and other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough to allow time to see and react to hazards.
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. Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if you are stranded off-road far from your base. Inspect your motorcycle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits (2 P. 21), and do not modify your motorcycle or install accessories that would make your motorcycle unsafe (2 P. 19).
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
Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Battery
If you smell an unusual odor coming from the lithium-ion (li-ion) battery, park your motorcycle in a safe place outside and away from flammable objects, then turn the ignition switch to the inspected by your dealer immediately.

Safety Guidelines
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Motorcycle Safety
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.
6
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

Jacket and Trousers
#
Motorcycle Safety
Protective, highly visible, long-sleeved jacket and durable trousers for riding (or a protective suit)
Additional Off-road Gear
#
On-road apparel may also be suitable for casual off-road riding. But if you plan on any serious off-road riding you will need more serious off­road gear. In addition to your helmet and eye protection, we recommend off-road motorcycle boots and gloves, riding pants with knee and hip pads, a jersey with elbow pads, and a chest/ shoulder protector.
14
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.
Riding Precautions
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.
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 front/rear
tyres and sprockets to ensure correct ABS operation.

15
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.
16
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. 58
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. 187
Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or
an oil/petrol mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Riding Precautions
Honda selectable torque control
Motorcycle Safety
When the Honda selectable torque control (Torque Control) detects rear wheel spin during acceleration, the system will limit the amount of torque applied to the rear wheel based on the Torque Control level selected.
Torque Control will allow some wheel spin during acceleration at the lower Torque Control levels settings. Select a level that is appropriate for your skill and riding conditions.
Torque Control does not work during deceleration and will not prevent the rear wheel from skidding due to engine braking. Do not close the throttle suddenly, especially when riding on slippery surfaces.
18
Torque Control may not compensate for rough road conditions or rapid throttle operation. Always consider road and weather conditions, as well as your skills and condition, when applying throttle. If your motorcycle gets stuck in mud, snow or sand, it may be easier to free it by turning off the Torque Control temporarily. Temporarily turning off Torque Control also may help you maintain control and balance when riding on off-road terrain.
Always use the recommended tyres and sprockets to ensure correct Torque Control operation.

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.
3WARNING
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.
Motorcycle Safety

Off-Road Safety

Off-Road Safety
Motorcycle Safety
Learn to ride in an uncongested off-road area free of obstacles before venturing onto unfamiliar terrain.
Always obey local off-road riding laws and
regulations.
Obtain permission to ride on private
property. Avoid posted areas and obey “NO Trespassing” signs.
Ride with a friend on another motorcycle so
that you can assist each other in case of trouble.
Familiarity with your motorcycle is critically
important should a problem occur far from help.
20
Never ride beyond your ability and
experience or faster than conditions warrant.
If you are not familiar with the terrain, ride
cautiously. Hidden rocks, holes, or ravines could spell disaster.
A muffler is required in most off-road areas.
Don't modify your exhaust system. Remember that excessive noise bothers everyone and creates a bad image for motorcycling.

Loading

Loading
Carrying extra weight affects your
motorcycle's handling, braking and stability. Always ride at a safe speed for the load you are carrying.
Avoid carrying an excessive load and keep
within specified load limits.
ED, II ED, III ED, IV ED type
Maximum weight capacity / Maximum luggage weight 2 P. 190 2 P. 190
U, II U, III U, IV U, II KO, III KO, IV KO type
Maximum luggage weight 2 P. 190
Tie all luggage securely, evenly balanced
and close to the centre of the motorcycle.
Do not place objects near the lights or the
muffler.
Also follow these guidelines when you ride off­road on rough terrain:
Do not carry a passenger.
Keep cargo small and light weight.
Make sure it cannot easily be caught on brush or other objects, and that it does not interfere with your ability to shift position to maintain balance and stability.
3WARNING
Overloading or improper loading can cause a crash and you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this manual.

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. 93
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.
92
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.
