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 helmet and protective apparel. 2 P. 9
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.
Vehicle Safety
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 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 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. 14), and do not modify your vehicle or install accessories that would make your vehicle unsafe (2 P. 13).
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 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.
, control
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 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.

Riding Precautions

Riding Precautions
Vehicle Safety
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.
10
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
#
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 and close the shutter when leaving the vehicle unattended. Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.
Parking with the Side Stand or Centre
#
Stand
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Using the side stand
Push the side stand down. Slowly lean the vehicle to the left until its weight rests on the side stand.
Using the centre stand
To lower the centre stand, stand on the left side of the vehicle. Hold the left handle grip and the grab rail. Press down on the tip of the centre stand with your right foot and, simultaneously, pull up and back.

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. 109
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 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.

Importance of Maintenance

Importance of Maintenance
Keeping your vehicle well-maintained is absolutely essential to your safety and to protect your investment, obtain maximum performance, avoid breakdowns, and reduce air pollution. Maintenance is the owner's responsibility. Be sure to inspect your vehicle before each ride, and perform the periodic checks specified in the Maintenance Schedule.
2 P. 48
3WARNING
Improperly maintaining your vehicle 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.
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 vehicle on a firm, level surface
using the side stand, centre 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
47

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.
48
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.
