WELCOME
The motorcycle presents you a challenge to master the machine, a challenge to adventure. You ride through the wind, linked to the road by a vehicle that responds to your commands as no other does. Unlike an automobile, there is no metal cage around you. Like an airplane, a pre-ride inspection and regular maintenance are essential to your safety. Your reward is freedom.
To meet the challenges safely, and to enjoy the adventure fully, you should become thoroughly familiar with this owner’s manual BEFORE YOU RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE.

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges that you can meet on the road.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You’ll f ind many helpf ul recommendations throughout this manual. Following are a few that we consider to be most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and make sure your passenger does the same. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear (page ).2
Make Yourself Easy to See
Some drivers do not see motorcycles because they are not looking for them. To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help others notice you.
Your motorcycle can provide many years of service and pleasure if you take
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the 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 judgements and ride safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride
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.
Keep Your Bike in Saf e Condition
For safe riding, it’s important to inspect your motorcycle bef ore every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been approved by Honda for this motorcycle. See page

for more details.

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, trousers, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of injury when you ride. Following are suggestions to help you choose proper gear.
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger always wear a helmet, eye protection and other protective apparel when you ride.
Helmets and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it off ers the best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. A bright-coloured helmet can make you more noticeable in traff ic, as can reflective strips.
An open-face helmet of fers some protection, but a full-f ace helmet offers more. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
2
12/12/06 16:12:37 32MJG600_013
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.
Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises.
A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright­coloured and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your motorcycle.

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
Your motorcycle has been designed to carry you, one passenger, cargo and accessories. When you add cargo or carry a passenger, you may feel some diff erence during acceleration and braking. But so long as you keep your motorcycle well-maintained, with good tyres and brakes, you can safely carry loads within the limits and guidelines given below.
However, exceeding the weight limit or carrying an unbalanced load can seriously affect your motorcycle’s handling, braking and stability. Non-Honda accessories, improper modifications, and poor maintenance can also reduce your safety margin.
The f ollowing pages give more specific information on loading, accessories and modifications.
Loading
How much weight you put on your motorcycle, and how you load it, are important to your safety. Anytime you ride with a passenger or cargo you should be aware of the following inf ormation.
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.

12/12/11 11:10:40 32MJG600_015
Load Limits
Following are the load limits for your motorcycle:
Maximum weight capacity:

Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a passenger or cargo:

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
To prevent loose items from creating a hazard, make sure that storage lids are properly closed and that any other cargo is securely tied down before you ride away.
Cargo weight should be carried as low and as close to the centre of a motorcycle as possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides. When loading the saddlebags, for example, be sure the weight in each bag is about the same.
Accessories and Modifications
Modifying your motorcycle or using non-Honda accessories can make your motorcycle unsafe. Before you consider making any modifications or adding an accessory, be sure to read the f ollowing inf ormation.
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.
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only Honda Genuine Accessories that have been specifically designed 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 f or assistance and always f ollow these guidelines:
Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle, limit suspension travel or steering travel, alter your riding position or interfere with operating any controls.

12/12/06 16:13:07 32MJG600_017
Be sure electrical equipment does not exceed the motorcycle’s electrical system capacity (page ). A blown fuse can cause a loss of lights or engine power.
Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your motorcycle. This motorcycle was not designed f or these attachments, and their use can seriously impair your motorcycle’s handling.
Modif icat ions
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.
Removing or modifying your lights, mufflers, emission control system or other equipment can also make your motorcycle illegal.

DANGER
Keep flames and sparks away from the battery. The battery produces explosive gas that can cause an explosion. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when handling the battery to avoid risk of burns or loss of eyesight if exposed to battery electrolyte. Do not allow children to handle the battery, under any circumstance. Ensure that anyone handling the battery has a proper understanding of the hazards and correct handling procedures involved. Handle battery electrolyte with extreme care, as it contains dilute sulfuric acid. Exposure to eyes or skin can cause burns or loss of eyesight. Read this manual carefully, and understand it before handling the battery. Failure to do so can cause personal injury and damage to the vehicle. Do not use the battery if the level of electrolyte is at or below the recommended level. Using the battery with low electrolyte can cause it to explode, causing serious injury.
