operating or maintaining a motorcycle. You
must use your own good judgement.
You will find important safety information in a
variety of forms, including:
● Safety labels on the motorcycle
Safety Messages preceded by a safety alert
●

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 motorcycle is stopped.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,
practice riding in a safe area to become familiar
with how this motorcycle works and handles,
and to become accustomed to the motorcycle'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
Motorcycle 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.
4
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It's important to keep your motorcycle properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Inspect your motorcycle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits (2 P. 11), and do not modify
your motorcycle or install accessories that
would make your motorcycle 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 10
Safety Guidelines
If you decide to continue riding, first turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position, and evaluate
the condition of your motorcycle. 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 motorcycle may have suffered damage
that is not immediately apparent. Have your
motorcycle 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 motorcycle inside a garage or
other enclosure.
3WARNING
Running the engine of your motorcycle
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 motorcycle'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
motorcycle's future reliability and performance.
● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
● Ride conservatively.
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
● Avoid excessively hard braking and
downshifting.
u Sudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle'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. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
● For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.
Engine Braking
#
Engine braking helps slow your motorcycle
down when you release the throttle. For further
slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use
engine braking with intermittent use of the
brakes to reduce speed when descending long,
steep slopes.

Page 13
Riding Precautions
Wet or Rainy Conditions
#
Motorcycle 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 motorcycle 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.
● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebar and remove the key when
leaving the motorcycle unattended.
8
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.
Parking with the Side Stand or Centre
#
Stand
1.
Stop the engine.
2.

Maintenance Safety
Always read the maintenance instructions
before you begin each task, and make sure that
you have the tools, parts, and skills required.
We cannot warn you of every conceivable
hazard that can arise in performing
maintenance. Only you can decide whether or
not you should perform a given task.
Follow these guidelines when performing
maintenance.
● Stop the engine and remove the key.
● Place your motorcycle on a firm, level
surface using the side stand, centre stand or
a maintenance stand to provide support.
● Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before
servicing as you can get burned.
● Run the engine only when instructed, and
do so in a well-ventilated area.
Page 38
Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance schedule specifies the
maintenance requirements necessary to
ensure safe, dependable performance, and
proper emission control.
Maintenance work should be performed in
accordance with Honda's standards and
specifications by properly trained and equipped
technicians. Your dealer meets all of these
requirements. Keep an accurate record of
maintenance to help ensure that your
motorcycle is properly maintained.
Make sure that whomever performs the
maintenance completes this record.
All scheduled maintenance is considered a
normal owner operating cost and will be
charged to you by your dealer. Retain all
receipts. If you sell the motorcycle, these
receipts should be transferred with the
motorcycle to the new owner.
Honda recommends that your dealer should
road test your motorcycle after each periodic
maintenance is carried out.

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 motorcycle:
● Fuel level - Fill fuel tank when necessary.
2 P. 27
● Throttle - Check for smooth opening and
full closing in all steering positions. 2 P. 72
● Engine oil level - Add engine oil if necessary.
Check for leaks. 2 P. 55
● Drive chain - Check condition and slack,
adjust and lubricate if necessary. 2 P. 67
36
● Brakes - Check operation;
Front and Rear: check shoes wear and
freeplay, adjust if necessary. 2 P. 64, 2 P. 59,
2 P. 60
● Lights and horn - Check that lights,
indicators and horn function properly.
● Wheels and tyres - Check condition, air
pressure and adjust if necessary. 2 P. 42

Page 45
Maintenance Fundamentals
If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an
electrical fault. Have your motorcycle 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. 99
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
● SAE standard
● API classification
40
*2
: 10W-30
*3
: SG or higher
*1
: MA
*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 MA 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.

Caring for Your Motorcycle
Caring for Your Motorcycle
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean
motorcycle makes it easier to spot potential
problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of
corrosion. Always wash your motorcycle
thoroughly after riding on coastal or treated
roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
1.
Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly using a
low pressure garden hose to remove loose
dirt.
2.
If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel
with mild cleaner to remove road grime.
u Clean the headlight lens, panels, and
other plastic components with extra care
to avoid scratching them. Avoid directing
water into the air cleaner, muffler, and
electrical parts.
3.
Thoroughly rinse your motorcycle with
plenty of clean water and dry with a soft,
clean cloth.
4.
After the motorcycle dries, lubricate any
moving parts.
u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto
the brakes or tyres. Brake discs, pads,
drum or shoes contaminated with oil will
suffer greatly reduced braking
effectiveness and can lead to a crash.
5.
Lubricate the drive chain immediately after
washing and drying the motorcycle.
6.
Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
u Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents. These
can damage the metal, paint, and plastic
on your motorcycle.
Keep the wax clear of the tyres and brakes.
u If your motorcycle has any mat painted
parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the
mat painted surface.

Washing Precautions
#
Follow these guidelines when washing:
● Do not use high-pressure washers:
u High-pressure water cleaners can
damage moving parts and electrical
parts, rendering them inoperable.
u Water in the air intake can be drawn into
Information
the carburetor and/or enter the air
cleaner.
● Do not direct water at the muffler:
u Water in the muffler can prevent starting
and causes rust in the muffler.
● Dry the brakes:
u Water adversely affects braking
effectiveness. After washing, apply the
brakes intermittently at low speed to
help dry them.
● Do not direct water under the seat:
u Water in the under seat compartment
can damage your documents and other
belongings.
92
● Do not direct water at the air cleaner:
u Water in the air cleaner can prevent the
engine from starting.
● Do not direct water near the headlight:
u The headlight's inside lens may fog
temporarily after washing or while riding
in the rain. This does not impact the
headlight function.
u Any condensation inside the headlight
should dissipate after a few minutes of
running the engine with the headlight(s)
on.
However, if you see a large amount of
water or ice accumulated inside the
lens(es), have your vehicle inspected by
your dealer.
● Do not use wax or polishing compounds on
mat painted surface:
u Use a soft cloth or sponge, plenty of
water, and a mild detergent to clean mat
painted surfaces. Dry with a soft clean
cloth.
Page 98
Storing Your Motorcycle
Aluminium Components
Aluminium will corrode from contact with dirt,
mud, or road salt. Clean aluminium parts
regularly and follow these guidelines to avoid
scratches:
● Do not use stiff brushes, steel wool, or
cleaners containing abrasives.
● Avoid riding over or scraping against curbs.
Panels
Follow these guidelines to prevent scratches
and blemishes:
● Wash gently using a soft sponge and plenty
of water.
● To remove stubborn stains, use diluted
detergent and rinse thoroughly with plenty
of water.
● Avoid getting petrol or detergents on the
instruments, panels, or headlight.
Storing Your Motorcycle
If you store your motorcycle outdoors, you
should consider using a full-body motorcycle
cover.
If you won't be riding for an extended period,
follow these guidelines:
● Wash your motorcycle and wax all painted
surfaces (except mat painted surfaces). Coat
chrome pieces with rust-inhibiting oil.
● Lubricate the drive chain. 2 P. 41
● Place your motorcycle on its centre stand
and position a block so that both tyres are
off the ground.
● After rain, remove the body cover and allow
the motorcycle to dry.
● Remove the battery (2 P. 47) to prevent
discharge. Fully charge the battery and then
place it in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
u If you leave the battery in place,
disconnect the negative - terminal to
prevent discharge.

Transporting Your
Motorcycle
If your motorcycle needs to be transported, it
should be carried on a motorcycle trailer or a
flatbed truck or trailer that has a loading ramp
or lifting platform, and motorcycle tie-down
straps. Never try to tow your motorcycle with a
wheel or wheels on the ground.
NOTICE
Towing your motorcycle can cause serious
damage to the transmission.

You & the Environment
You & the Environment
Owning and riding a motorcycle can be
enjoyable, but you must do your part to protect
the environment.
Choose Sensible Cleaners
Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash
your motorcycle. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners
that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which
damage the atmosphere's protective ozone
layer.
Recycle Wastes
Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved
containers and take them to a recycling centre.
Call your local or state office of public works or
environmental services to find a recycling centre
in your area, and to get instructions on how to
dispose of non-recyclable wastes. Do not place
used engine oil in the trash, or pour it down a
drain or on the ground. Used oil, petrol, and
cleaning solvents contain poisons that can hurt
refuse workers and contaminate drinking water,
lakes, rivers, and oceans.
