A Few Words About Safety

Your safety, and the safety of others, is very
important. Operating this motorcycle 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 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

symbol and one of three signal words:
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:

3

DANGER

You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY
HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

3

WARNING

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY
HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

3

CAUTION

You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow
instructions.

Other important information is
provided under the following titles:

NOTICE

Motorcycle Safety

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.

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. 11

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 16), and do not modify

your motorcycle or install accessories that
would make your motorcycle unsafe (

2 P. 15).

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.

If you decide to continue riding, first evaluate
the condition of your motorcycle. If the engine
is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid leaks,

Motorcycle Safety

check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts,
and check the handlebar, control 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.

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.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

WARNING

Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and even kill you.

Avoid any areas or activities that
expose you to carbon monoxide.

Motorcycle Safety

Riding Precautions

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.

Observe the following guidelines:

● Avoid excessively hard braking and down-

shifts.

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.

Motorcycle Safety

❙

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.

❙

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.

● Park on a firm, level surface.

● If you must park on an 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 handlebars and remove the key when
leaving the motorcycle unattended.
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.

❙

Parking with the Side Stand or Centre Stand

1.

Stop the engine.

2.

Use the side stand

Push the side stand down.
Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its
weight rests on the side stand.

Motorcycle Safety

Use the centre stand

Let down the centre stand, stand on the left
side of the motorcycle. Hold the left handle
grip and the left grab rail. Press down on the
tip of the stand with your right foot and,
simultaneously, pull up and back.

3.

Turn the handlebars fully to the left.

u Turning the handlebars to the right

reduces stability and may cause the
motorcycle to fall.

4.

Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position
and remove the key.

2 P. 25

Follow these guidelines to protect the engine
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. 95

● Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or an

oil/petrol mixture.

● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Importance of Maintenance

Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is
absolutely essential to your safety and to
protect your investment, obtain maximum
performance, avoid breakdowns, and reduce air
pollution. Maintenance is the owner’s
responsibility. Be sure to inspect your
motorcycle before each ride, perform the
periodic checks specified in the Maintenance
Schedule.

2 P. 37

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.

● Park your motorcycle on a firm, level surface

using the 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.

Importance of Maintenance

Maintenance

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 for 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.

Cleaning and Lubricating

After inspecting the slack, clean the chain and
sprockets while rotating the rear wheel using a
dry cloth or a light brush.
Saturate each chain link joint so that the
lubricant penetrates between the link plates,
pins, bushings, and rollers.

Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tyres.
Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to prevent
spray onto your clothes and the motorcycle.

This motorcycle is equipped with a viscous type
air cleaner element.
Air blow cleaning or any other cleaning can
degrade the viscous element performance and
cause the intake of dust.

Troubleshooting

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.

Removing Wheels

Follow these procedures if you need to
remove a wheel in order to repair a puncture.

3

WARNING

Riding your motorcycle with a
temporary tyre or tube repair can be
risky. If the temporary repair fails, you
can crash and be seriously injured or
killed.

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 and tube is
replaced.

Fuels Containing Alcohol

95

Information

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.

The following fuel blends can be used in your
motorcycle:

● Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) 10% by volume (max).

● Petrol containing ethanol may be marketed

under the name Gasohol.

● Methanol (methyl alcohol) 5% by volume

(max) that contain cosolvents and corrosion
inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Never
use a blend containing more than 5%.

The use of petrol containing more than 10%
ethanol (or more than 5% methanol) 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.

If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms or performance problems, try a
different brand of petrol.

NOTICE

Use of blended fuels containing higher than approved
percentages can damage metal, rubber, plastic parts of
your fuel system.

Catalytic Converter

96

Information

Catalytic Converter

This motorcycle is equipped with a three-way
catalytic converter. The catalytic converter
contain 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 gasses 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
motorcycle’s catalytic converter.

● Always use unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol

will damage the catalytic converter.

● Keep the engine in good running condition.

● Have your motorcycle serviced if your engine

is misfiring, backfiring, stalling, or otherwise
not running properly, stop riding and turn off
the engine.

Caring for Your Motorcycle

Information

Caring for Your Motorcycle

Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the long 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.

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

1.

Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly using a
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 or pads
contaminated with oil suffer greatly
reduced braking effectiveness and can
cause 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 matte painted

parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the
matte painted surface.
