A Few Words About Safety
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very
important. Operating this vehicle 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 vehicle. You must
use your own good judgement.
You will find important safety information in a
variety of forms, including:
● Safety labels on the vehicle
● 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 vehicle, 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 flames
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. 9
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 or use and ride, and don't
let your friends do it either.
4
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. 14), and do not modify your vehicle or
install accessories that would make your vehicle
unsafe (2 P. 13).
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, control 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.
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 a 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
Vehicle Safety
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 and rapid down-shifts.
● Ride conservatively.
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
●
Avoid excessively hard braking and
downshifting.
u Sudden braking can reduce the vehicle's
stability.
u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
10
● 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.
Riding Precautions
Engine Braking
#
Engine braking helps slow your vehicle 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.
Wet or Rainy Conditions
#
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.
● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock the
handlebar and remove the key and close the
shutter when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.
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 vehicle to the left until its weight
rests on the side stand.

decreased engine performance.
● Do not use fuels containing a high
concentration of alcohol. 2 P. 88
● Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or
an oil/petrol mixture.
● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Modifying your vehicle may also void your
warranty and make your vehicle illegal to
operate on public roads. Before deciding to
install accessories on your vehicle, be certain
the modification is safe and legal.
3WARNING
Improper accessories or modifications
can cause a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's

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 preride 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. 32
●
Throttle - Check for smooth opening and
full closing in all steering positions 2 P. 68
●
Engine oil level - Add engine oil if necessary.
Check for leaks 2 P. 56
●
Drive chain - Check condition and slack,
adjust and lubricate if necessary 2 P. 66
● Brakes - Check operation;
Front and Rear: check shoes wear and
freeplay, adjust if necessary 2 P. 63, 2 P. 59,
2 P. 58
● Lights and horn - Check that lights,
indicators and horn function properly
● Wheels and tyres - Check condition, air
pressure and adjust if necessary 2 P. 48

Fuses
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. 77
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. 92
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.
44
Blown fuse
NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher
rating greatly increases the chance of damage to
the electrical system.
If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an
electrical fault. Have your vehicle 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. 91
If you use non-Honda engine oil, check the
label to make sure that the oil satisfies all of the
following standards:

Tyre Puncture
Repairing a puncture or removing a wheel
requires special tools and technical expertise.
We recommend you have this type of service
performed by your dealer.
After an emergency repair, always have the
tyre inspected/replaced by your dealer.
Tube Repair and Replacement
If a tube is punctured or damaged, you
should replace it as soon as possible. A tube
that is repaired may not have the same
reliability as a new one, and it may fail while
you are riding.
If you need to make a temporary repair by
patching a tube or using an aerosol sealant,
ride cautiously at reduced speed and have
the tube replaced before you ride again.
Anytime a tube is replaced, the tyre should
be carefully inspected as described.
3WARNING
Riding your vehicle with a temporary
tyre or tube repair can be risky. If the
temporary repair fails, you can crash
and be seriously injured or killed.
Troubleshooting
If you must ride with a temporary tyre
or tube repair, ride slowly and carefully
and do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph)
until the tyre or tube is replaced.

Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
1.
Rinse your vehicle 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

Caring for Your Vehicle
3.
Thoroughly rinse your vehicle with plenty of
clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
4.
After the vehicle 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 vehicle.
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 vehicle.
Keep the wax clear of the tyres and
brakes.
u If your vehicle 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.
82
● 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 surfaces:
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.
Caring for Your Vehicle
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.
Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
If the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted, do
not use a commercially available abrasive
kitchen cleaning compound. Use a neutral
detergent to clean the painted surface on the
exhaust pipe and muffler. If you are not sure if
your exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
contact your dealer.

You & the Environment
You & the Environment
Owning and riding a vehicle can be enjoyable,
but you must do your part to protect the
environment.
Choose Sensible Cleaners
Information
Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash
your vehicle. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that
contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which
damage the atmosphere's protective ozone
layer.
86
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.
Serial Numbers
Serial Numbers
The frame and engine serial numbers uniquely
identify your vehicle and are required in order
to register your vehicle. They may also be
required when ordering replacement parts.

Fuels Containing Alcohol
Fuels Containing Alcohol
Some conventional fuels blended with alcohol
are available in some locales to help reduce
emissions to meet clean air standards. If you
plan to use blended fuel, check that it is
unleaded and meets the minimum octane
rating requirement.
Information
The following fuel blends can be used in your
vehicle:
● Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) up to 10% by volume.
u Petrol containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name Gasohol.
88
The use of petrol containing more than 10%
ethanol may:
● Damage the painting of the fuel tank.
● Damage the rubber tubes of the fuel line.
● Cause corrosion of the fuel tank.
● Cause poor drivability.
NOTICE
Use of blended fuels containing higher than
approved percentages can damage metal,
rubber, plastic parts of your fuel system.
If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms or performance problems, try a
different brand of petrol.
Catalytic Converter
Catalytic Converter
This vehicle is equipped with a three-way
catalytic converter. The catalytic converter
contains precious metals that serve as catalysts
in high temperature chemical reactions that
convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide
(CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the
exhaust gases into safe compounds.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to air
pollution and can impair your engine's
performance. A replacement unit must be an
original Honda part or equivalent.
Follow these guidelines to protect your vehicle's
catalytic converter:
● Always use unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol
will damage the catalytic converter.
● Keep the engine in good running condition.
● Have your vehicle serviced if your engine is
misfiring, backfiring, stalling, or otherwise
not running properly, stop riding and turn
off the engine.
