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

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.

5.
Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
Refuelling and Fuel Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to protect the engine, fuel system and catalytic converter:
Use only unleaded petrol.
Use the 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. 88
Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or
an oil/petrol mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Accessories & Modifications

Accessories & Modifications
We strongly advise that you do not add any accessories that were not specifically designed for your vehicle by Honda or make modifications to your vehicle from its original design. Doing so can make it unsafe. 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 manual regarding accessories and modifications.
Do not pull a trailer with, or attach a sidecar to, your vehicle. Your vehicle was not designed for these attachments, and their use can seriously impair your vehicle's handling.

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

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.

Caring for Your Vehicle

Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to ensure the life of your Honda. A clean vehicle 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 vehicle 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 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 to avoid scratching them. Avoid directing water into the air cleaner, muffler, and electrical parts.
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.

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.
