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. 8

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

Motorcycle Safety

Make Yourself Easy to See

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 motorcycle properly maintained and in safe riding condition. Inspect your motorcycle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits ( your motorcycle or install accessories that would make your motorcycle unsafe (

2 P. 13), and do not modify

2 P. 12).

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.

If you decide to continue riding, first turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, and evaluate the condition of your motorcycle. Inspect for

Safety Guidelines

Motorcycle Safety

WARNING

fluid leaks, 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.

Running the engine of your motorcycle while in an enclosed or even partially enclosed area can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon monoxide gas.

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.

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

Motorcycle Safety

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.

● 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.

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.

continued

Riding Precautions

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.

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 and close the shutter when leaving the motorcycle unattended. Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.

Parking with the Side Stand or Centre Stand

Stop the engine.

Using the side stand

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

Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety

Left handle grip

Grab rail

Centre stand

Using the centre stand

To lower the centre stand, stand on the left side of the motorcycle. 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.

Turn the handlebar fully to the left.

u Turning the handlebar to the right reduces

stability and may cause the motorcycle to fall.

Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position (

2 P. 23), remove the key and close the shutter

(

2 P. 24).

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 recommended octane number. Using

lower octane petrol will result in decreased engine performance.

● Do not use fuels containing a high

concentration of alcohol.

● Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or an

oil/petrol mixture.

● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Maintenance

WARNING

What to do in an emergency

If any of the following occur, immediately see your doctor.

● Electrolyte splashes into your eyes:

u Wash your eyes repeatedly with cool water

for at least 15 minutes. Using water under pressure can damage your eyes.

● Electrolyte splashes onto your skin:

u Remove affected clothing and wash your

skin thoroughly using water.

● Electrolyte splashes into your mouth:

u Rinse mouth thoroughly with water, and do

After cleaning, reinstall the battery.

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.

Maintenance Fundamentals

Fuses

Fuses protect the electrical circuits on your motorcycle. If something electrical on your motorcycle stops working, check for and replace any blown fuses.

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. 93

2 P. 107

Installing non-Honda electrical accessories can overload the electrical system, discharging the battery and possibly damaging the system.

Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chance of damage to the electrical system.

Not recommended Recommended

If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an electrical fault. Have your motorcycle 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.”

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

2 P. 106

: MA

: 10W-30

: SG or higher

*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.

*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 brake system serviced by your dealer as soon as possible.

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

Drive Chain

The drive chain must be inspected and lubricated regularly. Inspect the chain more frequently if you often ride on bad roads, ride at high speed, or ride with repeated fast acceleration.

2 P. 71

If the chain does not move smoothly, makes strange noises, has damaged rollers, has loose pins, or kinks, have the chain inspected by your dealer.

Also inspect the drive sprocket and driven sprocket. If either has worn or damaged teeth, have the sprocket replaced by your dealer.

Use of a new chain with worn sprockets will cause rapid chain wear.

continued

Maintenance Fundamentals

Maintenance

Cleaning and Lubricating

After inspecting the slack, clean the chain and sprockets while rotating the rear wheel. Use a dry cloth with high flash-point solvent. Use a soft brush if the chain is dirty. After cleaning, wipe dry and lubricate with the recommended lubricant.

Recommended lubricant:

Drive chain lubricant. If not available, use SAE 80 or 90 gear oil.

Never use petrol or low flash point solvents for cleaning the drive chain. A fire or explosion could result. Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tyres. Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to prevent spray onto your clothes and the motorcycle.

Maintenance

Crankcase Breather

Service more frequently when riding in rain, at full throttle, or after the motorcycle 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. 77

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.

Maintenance Fundamentals

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.

Tyre Puncture

WARNING

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.

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.

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.

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.

Removing Wheels

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