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

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. 12

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 seat strap 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.

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.

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.

Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition

It's important to keep your vehicle 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 vehicle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits (2 P. 19), and do not modify your vehicle or install accessories that would make your vehicle unsafe (2 P. 17).

20221006105115_42K1TA100_eng_BOOK Page 8 Thursday, October 06 2022 10:57:40 JST

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 (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.

Safety Guidelines

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Vehicle 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 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.

20221006105115_42K1TA100_eng_BOOK Page 10 Thursday, October 06 2022 10:57:40 JST

Image Labels

The following pages describe the label meanings. Some labels warn you of potential hazards that could cause serious injury. Others provide important safety information. Read this information carefully and don't remove the labels.

Riding Precautions

Brakes

Vehicle Safety

Observe the following guidelines:

● Avoid excessively hard braking and

downshifting.

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. 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.

20221006105115_42K1TA100_eng_BOOK Page 18 Thursday, October 06 2022 10:57:40 JST

Riding Precautions

Engine Braking

Engine braking helps slow your vehicle 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.

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.

● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock

the handlebar and remove the key when leaving the vehicle unattended. Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.

Parking with the Side Stand

Stop the engine.

Push the side stand down.

Slowly lean the vehicle to the left until its weight rests on the side stand.

Refuelling and Fuel Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to protect the engine, fuel system and catalytic converter:

● Use only unleaded petrol.

● Use the 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. 117

● Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or

an oil/petrol mixture.

● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

20221006105115_42K1TA100_eng_BOOK Page 20 Thursday, October 06 2022 10:57:40 JST

Accessories & Modifications

We strongly advise that you do not add any accessories that were not specifically designed for your vehicle by Honda or make modifications to your vehicle from its original design. Doing so can make it unsafe. Modifying your vehicle may also void your warranty and make your vehicle illegal to operate on public roads. Before deciding to install accessories on your vehicle, 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 vehicle. Your vehicle was not designed for these attachments, and their use can seriously impair your vehicle's handling.

Off-Road Safety

Vehicle 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 vehicle so that

you can assist each other in case of trouble.

● Familiarity with your vehicle is critically

important should a problem occur far from help.

● 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.

20221006105115_42K1TA100_eng_BOOK Page 22 Thursday, October 06 2022 10:57:40 JST

Loading

● Carrying extra weight affects your vehicle'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.

Maximum weight capacity / Maximum luggage weight 2 P. 119

● Tie all luggage securely, evenly balanced,

and close to the centre of the vehicle.

● 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.

20221006105115_42K1TA100_eng_BOOK Page 61 Thursday, October 06 2022 10:57:40 JST

Maintenance Schedule

The maintenance schedule specifies the maintenance requirements necessary to ensure safe, dependable performance, and proper emission control.

Maintenance

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 vehicle 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 vehicle, these receipts should be transferred with the vehicle to the new owner.

Honda recommends that your dealer should road test your vehicle after each periodic maintenance is carried out.

Blown fuse

NOTICE

Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chance of damage to the electrical system.

If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an electrical fault. Have your vehicle inspected by your dealer.

Engine Oil

Engine oil consumption varies and oil quality deteriorates according to riding conditions and time elapsed. Check the engine oil level regularly, and add the recommended engine oil if necessary. Dirty oil or old oil should be changed as soon as possible.

Selecting the Engine Oil

For recommended engine oil, see “Specifications.” 2 P. 120

If you use non-Honda engine oil, check the label to make sure that the oil satisfies all of the following standards:

JASO T 903 standard*1: MA

●

SAE standard*2: 10W-30

●

● API classification

*1.

The JASO T 903 standard is an index for engine oils for 4-stroke motorcycle engines. There are two classes: MA and MB. For example, the following label shows the MA classification.

Brake Fluid

Do not add or replace brake fluid, except in an emergency. Use only fresh brake fluid from a sealed container. If you do add fluid, have the brake system serviced by your dealer as soon as possible.

The drive chain must be inspected and lubricated regularly. Inspect the chain more frequently if you often ride on bad roads, ride at high speed, or ride with repeated fast acceleration. 2 P. 86 If the chain does not move smoothly, makes strange noises, has damaged rollers, has loose pins, has missing O-rings, or has kinks, have the chain inspected by your dealer.

20221006105115_42K1TA100_eng_BOOK Page 70 Thursday, October 06 2022 10:57:40 JST

Maintenance Fundamentals

Also inspect the drive sprocket and driven sprocket. If either has worn or damaged teeth, have the sprocket replaced by your dealer.

Normal (GOOD)

NOTICE

Use of a new chain with worn sprockets will cause rapid chain wear.

Cleaning and Lubricating

After inspecting the slack, clean the chain and sprockets while rotating the rear wheel. Use a dry cloth with chain cleaner designed specifically for O-ring chains, or neutral detergent. Use a soft brush if the chain is dirty.

Worn

(REPLACE)

Damaged

(REPLACE)

After cleaning, wipe dry and lubricate with the recommended lubricant.

Recommended lubricant:

Drive chain lubricant designed specifically for O-ring chains If not available, use SAE 80 or 90 gear oil.

Do not use a steam cleaner, a high pressure cleaner, a wire brush, volatile solvent such as petrol and benzene, abrasive cleaner, chain cleaner or lubricant NOT designed specifically for O-ring chains as these can damage the rubber O-ring seals.

Maintenance

20221006105115_42K1TA100_eng_BOOK Page 71 Thursday, October 06 2022 10:57:40 JST

Maintenance Fundamentals

Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tyres. Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to prevent spray onto your clothes and the vehicle.

Maintenance

Recommended Coolant

Pro Honda HP Coolant is a pre-mixed solution of antifreeze and distilled water.

Concentration:

50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water

A concentration of antifreeze below 40% will not provide proper corrosion and cold temperature protection. A concentration of up to 60% will provide better protection in colder climates.

FO type

Use only genuine HONDA PRE-MIX COOLANT without diluting with water. Genuine HONDA PRE-MIX COOLANT is excellent at preventing corrosion and overheating.

The coolant should be inspected and replaced properly by following the maintenance schedule. 2 P. 58

NOTICE

Using coolant not specified for aluminium engines or tap/mineral water can cause corrosion.

Crankcase Breather

Service more frequently when riding in rain, at full throttle, or after the vehicle is washed or overturned. Service if the deposit level can be seen in the transparent section of the drain tube. If the drain tube overflows, the air filter may become contaminated with engine oil, causing poor engine performance.

Maintenance Fundamentals

Tyres (Inspecting/Replacing)

Checking the Air Pressure

Visually inspect your tyres and use an air pressure gauge to measure the air pressure before each off-road ride and whenever you return to pavement after riding off-road. If you only ride on pavement, check the pressure at least once a month or any time you think the tyres look low. Always check air pressure when your tyres are cold. If you decide to adjust the tyre pressure for a particular off-road riding condition, make changes a little at a time.

Inspecting for Damage

Inspect the tyres for cuts, slits, or cracks that expose fabric or cords, or nails or other foreign objects embedded in the side

of the tyre or the tread. Also inspect for any unusual bumps or bulges in the side walls of the tyres.

Inspecting for Abnormal Wear

Inspect the tyres for

signs of abnormal wear

on the contact surface.

Wear indicator location mark

Inspecting Rims and Valve Stems

Inspect the rims for damage and loose spokes. Also inspect the valve stems for their positions. A tilted valve stem indicates the tube is slipping inside the tyre or the tyre is slipping on the rim. See your dealer.

3WARNING

Riding on tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.

Follow all instructions in this owner's manual regarding tyre inflation and maintenance.

20221006105115_42K1TA100_eng_BOOK Page 74 Thursday, October 06 2022 10:57:40 JST

Maintenance Fundamentals

Have your tyres replaced by your dealer. For recommended tyres, air pressure, and minimum tread depth, see “Specifications.”

2 P. 120

Follow these guidelines whenever you replace tyres:

● Use the recommended tyres or their

equivalents of the same size, construction, speed rating, and load range.

● Remember to replace the inner tube

whenever you replace a tyre. The old tube will probably be stretched, and it could fail if installed in a new tyre.

3WARNING

Installing improper tyres on your vehicle can adversely affect handling and stability, and can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.

Always use the size and type of tyres recommended in this owner's manual.
