WELCOME
The scooter 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 preride 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 SCOOTER.
As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded by a 
symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your scooter, other property, or the environment.
When service is required, remember that your Honda dealer knows your scooter best. If you have the required mechanical ‘‘know-how’’ and tools, your dealer can supply you with an Official Honda Shop Manual to help you perform many maintenance and repair tasks.
Pleasant riding, and thank you for choosing a Honda !

SCOOTER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your scooter can provide many years of service and pleasure if you take 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 find many helpful 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 scooters 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.
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of scooter 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.
1
10/02/17 16:51:12 32KWN600_012
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 Safe Condition
For safe riding, it’s important to inspect your scooter before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been approved by Honda for this scooter. See page 5 for more details.
2
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.
10/02/17 16:51:16 32KWN600_013
Helmets and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers 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 traffic, as can reflective strips.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
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 scooter.

10/02/17 16:51:21 32KWN600_014
ALWAYS wear a helmet.
You should also wear a face shield or goggles.

LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
Your scooter has been designed to carry you, one passenger and a limited amount of cargo. When you add cargo or carry a passenger, you may feel some difference during acceleration and braking. But so long as you keep your scooter well-maintained, with good tyres and brakes, you can safely carry loads within the given limits and guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit or carrying an unbalanced load can seriously affect your scooter’s handling, braking and stability. Non-Honda accessories, improper modifications, and poor maintenance can also reduce your safety margin.
The following pages give more specific information on loading, accessories and modifications.
Loading
How much weight you put on your scooter, 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 information.
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.
5
10/02/17 16:51:36 32KWN600_016
Load Limits
Following are the load limits for your scooter:
Maximum weight capacity:
180 kg (397 lb) … Except KO type
152 kg (335 lb) … KO type only
Includes the weight of the rider, passenger, all cargo and all accessories
Maximum cargo weight:
13 kg (29 lb) … Except KO type
11 kg (24 lb) … KO type only
The weight of added accessories will reduce the maximum cargo weight you can carry.
Putting too much weight in individual storage compartments can also affect stability and handling. So be sure to stay within the limits given below:
Maximum weight: |
|
in center compartment |
10 kg (22 lb) |
in glove box |
1.0 kg (2.2 lb) |

Loading Guidelines
Your scooter is primarily intended for transporting you and a passenger. You may wish to secure a jacket or other small items to the seat when you are not riding with a passenger.
If you wish to carry more cargo, check with your Honda dealer for advice, and be sure to read the inf ormat ion regarding accessories on page 8 .
Improperly loading your scooter can affect its stability and handling. Even if your scooter is properly loaded, you should ride at reduced speeds whenever carrying cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a passenger or cargo:
Check that both tyres are properly inflated (page39 ).
To prevent loose items from creating a h a z a r d , m a k e s u r e t h e c e n t e r compartment, glove box is closed and that any other cargo is securely tied down before you ride away.
Place cargo weight as close to the center of the scooter as possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.

10/02/17 16:51:48 32KWN600_018
Accessories and Modifications
Modifying your scooter or using non-Honda accessories can make your scooter unsafe. Bef or e yo u co ns ide r ma ki ng a ny modifications or adding an accessory, be sure to read the following information.
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.
8
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only Honda Genuine Accessories that have been specifically designed and tested for your scooter. 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 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.
Be sure electrical equipment does not exceed the scooter’s electrical system capacity (page 135 ). A blown fuse can cause a loss of lights or engine power.
10/02/17 16:51:52 32KWN600_019
Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your scooter. This scooter was not designed for these attachments, and their use can seriously impair your scooter’s handling.
Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any original equipment or modify your scooter in any way that would change its design or operation. Such changes could seriously impair your scooter’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 scooter illegal.
