Always Wear a Helmet
Never Carry a Passenger
Important Safety Information

Important Message to Parents Parents, Youngsters and Of f -Highway Motorcycles
Your motorcycle can provide many years of service and pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet while riding.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You’ll find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a few that we consider to be most important.
This motorcycle has been designed for younger riders. However, not all youngsters are physically or emotionally ready to ride. Therefore, before parents allow any youngster to ride this motorcycle, we urge them to carefully read the
beginning on page and the
booklet that came with the motorcycle (USA only).
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear (page ).
Your motorcycle is designed for one person only. There are no handholds, footrests, or seat for a second person so never carry a passenger. A passenger could interfere with your ability to move around to maintain your balance and control of the motorcycle.

Ride Off -road Only Be Alert for Of f-road Hazards
Ride within Your Limits
Take Time to Learn and Practice
Motorcycle Saf ety
Important Safety Information
Tips & Practice Guide
f or the Of f -Highway Motorcyclist
Your motorcycle is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The tires are not made for pavement, and the motorcycle does not have turn signals and other features required for use on public roads. If you need to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your motorcycle across.
The terrain can 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.
Pushing limits is another major cause of motorcycle crashes. Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and ride safely.
Developing off-road riding skills is a gradual, step-by-step process. Start by practicing at low speeds in a safe area and slowly build your skills. Personal instruction from an experienced rider can also be valuable.
If you need assistance, ask your dealer about riding groups in your area.
Also be sure to read the
booklet that
came with your motorcycle (USA only).

Don’t Drink and Ride
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
Important Safety Information
Motorcycle Saf ety
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride either.
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. To help avoid problems, inspect your motorcycle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance.

Riding Readiness
Important Message to Parents
Your child’s safety is very important to Honda. That’s why we urge you to read this message before you let any young person ride this motorcycle. Off-road riding can be fun. But, as with riding a bicycle, bad judgment can result in injury, and we don’t want that to happen! As a parent, you can help prevent accidents by making good decisions about if, when, and how your youngster rides this motorcycle.
The first decision you’ll need to make is whether your youngster is ready to ride. Riding readiness varies widely from one person to another, and age and size are not the only factors.
PHYSICAL ABILITY is an important consideration. For example, riders must be big enough to hold the motorcycle up, get on, and comfortably sit on the seat with both feet touching the ground. They should also be able to easily reach and work the brakes, throttle, and all other controls.
ATHLETIC ABILITY is necessary for riding a motorcycle. Generally speaking, your youngster should be good at riding a bicycle before getting on a motorcycle. Can your youngster judge speeds and distances while riding a bicycle and react with proper hand and foot actions? Anyone who does not have good coordination, balance, and agility is not ready to ride this motorcycle.

Instruction and Supervision
Important Message to Parents
MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL MATURITY are requirements for safe riding. Does your youngster think through problems and come to logical solutions? On a bicycle, does your youngster obey safe riding rules? Be honest! Young people who take unnecessary risks, make bad judgments, and don’t obey rules are not ready to ride this motorcycle.
If you decide that your youngster is ready to safely operate this motorcycle, make sure both of you carefully read and understand the owner’s manual before riding. Also be sure that your youngster has a helmet and other appropriate riding equipment, and always wears it when operating the vehicle or sitting on it.
GOOD INSTRUCTION is an important part of hands-on training. The teacher can either be you or another responsible adult who has experience with off-road motorcycle riding. (For help in finding a qualified instructor, talk with your dealer.) Even if you’re not the main teacher, it’s up to you to ensure your youngster’s safety. Remember, learning to ride a motorcycle is a gradual, step-by-step process. It takes time, patience, and practice many hours over a period of weeks or months.
To help your youngster build confidence as they’re learning to ride, this Honda was delivered with a throttle limiter that limits maximum engine speed. We recommend that all beginning riders start off with the throttle limiter activated. For activation and deactivation instructions, see page .75

Important Message to Parents
SUPERVISION is another important obligation of parents. Even after youngsters have become skilled off -road riders, they should always ride with adult supervision. It helps to regularly remind young riders of basic safety rules and precautions. And remember, it’s your responsibility to see that the motorcycle is properly maintained and kept in safe operating condition.
SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE RIDING must be an on-going commitment by you and your youngster. When you both put safety first, you can enjoy more peace of mind, and your youngster can enjoy more hours of safe off­road riding.
For your convenience, this comes with an ignition switch and key. Remove the key when the motorcycle is parked to help prevent unauthorized use.

Loading
More specific information on load limits, accessories, and modifications follows.
In addition, exceeding the weight limits or carrying an unbalanced load can seriously affect your motorcycle’s handling, braking, and stability. Adding accessories or making modifications that change this motorcycle’s design and performance can also make it unsafe. Also, the weight of any accessories will reduce the maximum load the motorcycle can carry.
How much weight you put on your motorcycle, and how you load it, are important to your safety. If you decide to carry cargo, you should be aware of the following information.
Your Honda was designed as a rider-only motorcycle. It was not designed to carry a passenger or cargo. A passenger or cargo could interfere with your ability to move around to maintain your balance and control of the motorcycle.

Following are the load limits for your motorcycle:
Includes the weight of the rider and any accessories.
Keep cargo small and light. 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.

Accessories & Modifications
Modifying your motorcycle or using non­Honda accessories can make your motorcycle unsafe.
Before you consider making any modifications or adding an accessory, be sure to read the following information.
Make sure the accessory does not reduce ground clearance and lean angle, limit suspension travel or steering travel, alter your riding position, or interfere with operating any controls.
We strongly recommend that you use only Honda Genuine Accessories that have been specifically designed or approved and tested for your motorcycle. Because Honda cannot test all other accessories, you must be personally responsible for proper selection, installation, and use of non-Honda accessories. Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow this guideline:

Modifications

We strongly advise you not to remove any original equipment or modify your motorcycle in any way that would change its design or operation. Such changes could seriously impair your motorcycle’s handling, stability, and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
We also advise you not to make any modifications or remove any equipment (such as the USDA qualified spark arrester or emission control system components) that would make the motorcycle illegal in your area.
