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. 6
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.
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 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
4
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.
Inspect your vehicle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits (2 P. 11), and do not modify
your vehicle or install accessories that would
make your vehicle unsafe (2 P. 10).
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
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.
● 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
#
Vehicle Safety
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.
8
● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebar, lock the ignition switch
(2 P. 37) and leave your vehicle while taking
the Honda SMART Key with you. Deactivate
the Honda SMART Key system if necessary.
2 P. 32
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.
Also set the anti-theft alarm system.
Parking with the Side Stand or Centre
#
Stand
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Using the side stand
Push the side stand down.

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. 131
● Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or
an oil/petrol mixture.
● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Maintenance Fundamentals
Pre-ride Inspection
To ensure safety, it is your responsibility to
perform a pre-ride inspection and make sure
that any problem you find is corrected. A pre-
Maintenance
ride inspection is a must, not only for safety, but
because having a breakdown, or even a flat
tyre, can be a major inconvenience.
Check the following items before you get on
your vehicle:
● Fuel level - Fill fuel tank when necessary.
2 P. 60
● Throttle - Check for smooth opening and
full closing in all steering positions. 2 P. 96
● Engine oil level - Add engine oil if necessary.
Check for leaks. 2 P. 85
● Coolant level - Add coolant if required.
Check for leaks. 2 P. 87
72
● Brakes - Check operation;
Front: check brake fluid level and pads wear.
2 P. 89, 2 P. 90
Combi Brake: check brake fluid level. 2 P. 89
Rear: check shoes wear and freeplay, adjust
if necessary. 2 P. 91, 2 P. 94
● Lights and horn - Check that lights,
indicators and horn function properly.
● Side stand ignition cut-off system - Check
for proper function. 2 P. 95

shield, or have a skilled mechanic do
the battery servicing.
Cleaning the Battery Terminals
#
1.
Remove the battery. 2 P. 82
2.
If the terminals are starting to corrode and
are coated with a white substance, wash
with warm water and wipe clean.
3.
If the terminals are heavily corroded, clean
and polish the terminals with a wire brush or
sandpaper. Wear safety glasses.
4.
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.
NOTICE
Installing non-Honda electrical accessories can
overload the electrical system, discharging the
battery and possibly damaging the system.
Maintenance Fundamentals

Fuses protect the electrical circuits on your
vehicle. If something electrical on your vehicle
stops working, check for and replace any blown
fuses. 2 P. 116
Inspecting and Replacing Fuses
#
Turn the ignition switch to the
(Off) position
to remove and inspect fuses. If a fuse is blown,
replace with a fuse of the same rating. For fuse
ratings, see “Specifications.” 2 P. 135

Maintenance Fundamentals
If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an
electrical fault. Have your vehicle inspected by
your dealer.
Engine Oil
Maintenance
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. 134
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: MB
●
SAE standard*2: 10W-30
●
API classification*3: SG or higher
76
*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 MB classification.
Oil code
Oil classification
*2.
The SAE standard grades oils by their viscosity.
*3.
The API classification specifies the quality and
performance rating of engine oils. Use SG or higher
oils, excluding oils marked as “Energy Conserving” or
“Resource Conserving” on the circular API service
symbol.

Visually inspect your tyres and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tyres look low. Always check air pressure when
your tyres are cold.
78
Inspecting for Damage
#
Inspect the tyres for
cuts, slits, or cracks that
exposes 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.
Inspecting Tread Depth
#
Inspect the tread wear indicators. If they
become visible, replace the tyres immediately.
