Make Yourself Easy to See
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
ic drink can reduce your ability to

Riding Precautions
Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running, follow these guidelines to ensure your scooter’s future reliability and performance.
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
Avoid hard braking.
Ride conservatively.
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
For full brake effectiveness, operate both the front and rear brakes together.
Avoid excessively hard braking.
u Sudden braking can reduce the scooter’s
sta
bility.
u Where possibl
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
12
e, reduce speed before
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u The tyres slip more easily o
and braking distances are longer.
Avoid continuous braking.
u Repeated braking, such as when
desce
nding long, steep slopes can seriously overheat the brakes, reducing their effectiveness.
Combi Brake
Your scooter’s rear brake system is linked to the front brake. This means that operating the rear brake lever applies the rear brake and a portion of the front brake. Operating the front brake lever applies only the front brake. For full braking effectiveness, operate both levers t
gether.
o
n such surfaces
Page 16
Riding Precautions
Scooter Safety
http://www.motorcycle.in.th
Combined ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
(NSS300A only)
This model is also equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) designed to help prevent the brakes from locking up during hard braking. Always use the recommended tyres to ensure correct ABS operation.
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.
Wet or Rainy Conditions
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet brakes further reduce braking efficiency. Exercise extra caution when braking in wet conditio
ns. If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while riding at low speed to hel
p them dry.
Parking
Park on a firm, level surface.
If you must park on a slight incline or loose surface, park so that the scooter 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.

Battery
Your scooter has a maintenance-free type battery. You do not have to check the battery electrolyte level or add distilled water. Clean the battery terminals if they become dirty or corroded. Do not remove the battery cap seals. There is no need to remove the cap when charging.
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed.
This symbol on the battery means that this product must not be treated as household waste.
An improperly disposed of battery can be harmful to the environment and human health. Always confirm local regulations for battery disposal.
Maintenance Fundamentals
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or seriously hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a face shield, or have a skilled mechanic do the battery servicing.
Cleaning the Battery Terminals
1.
Remove the battery.
2.
If the terminals are starting to corrode and are coated with a white substance, wash with warm water and wipe clean.

After cleaning, reinstall the battery.
The battery has a limited life
span. Consult your dealer about when you should replace the battery. Always replace the battery with another maintenance-free battery of the same type.

Inspecting and Replacing Fuses
Turn off the ignition switch to remove and inspect fuses. If a fuse is blown, replace with a fuse of the same rating. For fuse ratings, see “Specifications.”

P. 110
Installing non-Honda electrical accessories can overload the electrical system, discharging the battery and possibly damaging the system.

P. 109 Follow these guidelines whenever you replace tyres.
Use the recommended tyres or equivalents of the same size, construction, speed rating, and load range.
Have the wheel balanced with Honda Genuine balance weights or equivalent after the tyre is installed.
Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre on this scooter. Excessive heat build-up can cause the tube to burst.
Use only tubeless tyres on this scooter. The rims are designed for tubeless tyres, and during hard acceleration or braking, a tube­type tyre could slip on the rim and cause the tyre to rapidly deflate.
