A Few Words About Safety
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very
important. Operating this scooter safely is an
important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about
safety, we have provided operating
procedures and other information on safety
labels and in this manual. This information
alerts you to potential hazards that could
hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to
warn you about all hazards associated with
operating or maintaining a scooter. You must
use your own good judgement.
You will find important safety information in a
variety of forms, including:
● Safety labels on the scooter
●
Safety Messages preceded by a safety alert
symbol and one of three signal words:
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:
3DANGER
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT
if you don’t follow instructions.
3WARNING
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT
if you don’t follow instructions.
3CAUTION
You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow
instructions.
Other important information is
provided under the following titles:
NOTICE
Information to help you avoid
damage to your scooter, other
property, or the environment.

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 motorcycle 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 motorcycle 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 scooter is stopped.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other scooters, practice
riding in a safe area to become familiar with
how this scooter works and handles, and to
become accustomed to the scooter'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
Scooter 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.

Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It's important to keep your scooter properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Inspect your scooter before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits (2 P. 11), and do not modify
your scooter or install accessories that would
make your scooter 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.
Page 9
Safety Guidelines
If you decide to continue riding, first turn the
ignition switch to the (Off) position, and
evaluate the condition of your scooter. Inspect
for fluid leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts
and bolts, and check the handlebar, control
levers, brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly and
cautiously.
Your scooter may have suffered damage that is
not immediately apparent. Have your scooter
thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility
as soon as possible.
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 scooter inside a garage or other
enclosure.
3WARNING
Running the engine of your scooter
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 scooter'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 scooter'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 scooter'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 scooter 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
#
Scooter 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 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.
8
● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebar, lock the ignition switch
(2 P. 33) and leave your scooter while taking
the Honda SMART Key with you. Deactivate
the Honda SMART Key system if necessary.
2 P. 28
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.
Slowly lean the scooter 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 scooter.
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.
Page 13
Riding Precautions
Grab rail
Centre stand
Left handle grip
3.
Turn the handlebar fully to the left.
u Turning the handlebar to the right
reduces stability and may cause the
scooter to fall.
4.
Turn the ignition switch to the (Lock)
position (2 P. 26) and lock the ignition
switch (2 P. 33).
5.
Set the anti-theft alarm system. 2 P. 35
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. 132
● Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or
an oil/petrol mixture.
● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

electrical fault. Have your scooter inspected by
your dealer.
Engine Oil
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. 135
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
Maintenance Fundamentals
●
SAE standard*2: 10W-30
●
API classification*3: SG or higher
*1.
The JASO T 903 standard is an index for engine oils for 4stroke 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.

Brake Fluid
Do not add or replace brake fluid, except in an
emergency. Use only fresh brake fluid from a
sealed container. If you do add fluid, have the
Maintenance
brake system serviced by your dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
Brake fluid can damage plastic and painted
surfaces.
Wipe up spills immediately and wash thoroughly.
Recommended brake fluid:
Honda DOT 3 or DOT 4 Brake Fluid or
equivalent
70
Recommended Coolant
Use only genuine HONDA PRE-MIX COOLANT
without diluting with water. Genuine HONDA
PRE-MIX COOLANT is excellent at preventing
corrosion and overheating.
The coolant should be inspected and replaced
properly by following the maintenance
schedule. 2 P. 63
NOTICE
Using coolant not specified for aluminium engines
or tap/mineral water can cause corrosion.
Crankcase Breathers
Service more frequently when riding in rain, at
full throttle, or after the scooter is washed or
overturned. Service if the deposit level can be
seen in the transparent section of the drain
tube.
If the drain tube overflows, the air filter may
become contaminated with engine oil causing
poor engine performance. 2 P. 95

Tyres (Inspecting/Replacing)
Checking the Air Pressure
#
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.
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.

2 P. 135
Follow these guidelines whenever you replace
tyres.
● Use the recommended tyres or equivalents
of the same size, construction, speed rating,
and load range.
● 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
tube-type tyre could slip on the rim and
cause the tyre to rapidly deflate.
3WARNING
Installing improper tyres on your
