WELCOME
The scooter presents you a challenge to master the machine, a challenge to adventure. You ride through the wind, linked to the road by a vehicle that responds to your commands as no other does. Unlike an automobile, there is no metal cage around you. Like an airplane, a preride inspection and regular maintenance are essential to your safety. Your reward is freedom.
To meet the challenges safely, and to enjoy the adventure fully, you should become thoroughly familiar with this owner’s manual BEFORE YOU RIDE THE SCOOTER.
As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded by a symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your scooter, other property, or the environment.
When service is required, remember that your Honda dealer knows your scooter best. If you have the required mechanical ‘‘know-how’’ and tools, your dealer can supply you with an
Official Honda Shop Manual to help you perform many maintenance and repair tasks.
Pleasant riding, and thank you for choosing a Honda !

SCOOTER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your scooter can provide many years of service and pleasure
− if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges that you can meet on the road.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You’ll find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. Following are a few that we consider to be most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and make sure your passenger does the same. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear (page 2 ).
Make Yourself Easy to See
Some drivers do not see scooters because they are not looking for them. To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help others notice you.
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of scooter crashes. Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue and inattention can significantly reduce your abilit y to make good judgements and ride safely.
1
09/08/05 17:22:01 32KTGC00_012
Don’t Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride either.
Keep Your Bike in Saf e Condition
For safe riding, it’s important to inspect your scooter before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been approved by Honda for this scooter. See page 5 for more details.
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, trousers, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you choose proper gear.
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger always wear a helmet, eye protection and other protective apparel when you ride.
2
09/08/05 17:22:05 32KTGC00_013
Helmets and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. A bright-coloured helmet can make you more noticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.
Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises.
A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Brightcoloured and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your scooter.

09/08/05 17:22:12 32KTGC00_014
ALWAYS wear a helmet.
You should also wear a face shield or goggles.
Wear bright or reflective clothing.
Clothes should be close-fitting.
Wear gloves.

Shoes should be close-fitting, have low heels and offer ankle protection.
09/08/05 17:22:19 32KTGC00_015
LOADING AND ACCESSORIES
Your scooter has been designed to carry you and one passenger. When you carry a passenger, you may feel some difference during acceleration and braking. But so long as you keep your scooter well-maintained, with good tyres and brakes, you can safely carry loads within the given guidelines.
However, excessive weight or carrying an unbalanced load can seriously affect your scooter’s handling, braking and stability.
N o n - H o n d a a c c e s s o r i e s , i m p r o p e r modifications, and poor maintenance can also reduce your safety margin.
The following pages give more specific information on loading, accessories and modifications.
Loading
How much weight you put on your scooter, and how you load it, are important to your safety. Anytime you ride with a passenger or cargo you should be aware of the following information.
Overloading or improper loading can cause a crash and you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all loading guidelines in this manual.
5
09/08/05 17:22:28 32KTGC00_016
Putting too much weight in individual storage compartments can also affect stability and handling. So be sure to stay within the limits given below:
Maximum weight: in center compartment: shopping hook: rear carrier:
10 kg (22 lb)
1.5 kg (3.3 lb)
3.0 kg (6.6 lb)
Rear carrier: weight limit:
3.0 kg (6.6 lb)
Center compartment: weight limit:
10 kg (22 lb)
6
Shopping hook: weight limit:
1.5 kg (3.3 lb)
09/08/05 17:22:35 32KTGC00_017
Loading Guidelines
Your scooter is primarily intended for transporting you and a passenger. You may wish to secure a jacket or other small items to the seat when you are not riding with a passenger.
If you wish to carry more cargo, check with your Honda dealer for advice, and be sure to read the inf ormat ion regarding accessories on page 8 .
Improperly loading your scooter can affect its stability and handling. Even if your scooter is properly loaded, you should ride at reduced speeds whenever carrying cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a passenger or cargo:
Check that both tyres are properly inflated (page 31 ).
If you change your normal load, you may need to adjust the rear suspension (page
21 ).
To prevent loose items from creating a h a z a r d , m a k e s u r e t h e c e n t e r compartment is closed and that any other cargo is securely tied down before you ride away.
Place cargo weight as close to the center of the scooter as possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.

09/08/05 17:22:42 32KTGC00_018
Accessories and Modif ications
Modifying your scooter or using non-Honda accessories can make your scooter unsafe.
B e f o r e y o u c o n s i d e r m a k i n g a n y modifications or adding an accessory, be sure to read the following information.
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.
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only
Honda Genuine Accessories that have been specifically designed and tested for your scooter. Because Honda cannot test all other accessories, you must be personally responsible for proper selection, installation and use of non-Honda accessories. Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow these guidelines:
Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle, limit suspension travel or steering travel, alter your riding position or interfere with operating any controls.
Be sure electrical equipment does not exceed the scooter’s electrical system capacity (page 115 ). A blown fuse can cause a loss of lights or engine power.
8
09/08/05 17:22:47 32KTGC00_019
Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your scooter. This scooter was not designed for these attachments, and their use can seriously impair your scooter’s handling.
Modif ications
We strongly advise you not to remove any original equipment or modify your scooter in any way that would change its design or operation. Such changes could seriously impair your scooter’s handling, stability and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
Removing or modif ying your lights, mufflers, emission control system or other equipment can also make your scooter illegal.

BRAKES
Combined Brake System (CBS)
This scooter is equipped with a Combined
Brake System. Operating the rear brake lever applies the rear brake and a portion of t he f ront br ake . F or f ull braking effectiveness, use both the front and rear brake lever simultaneously, as you would with a conventional scooter braking system.
As with a conventional scooter braking system, excessively hard application of the brake controls may cause wheel lock, reducing control of the scooter.
For normal braking, apply both the front and rear brake lever to match your road speed. For maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply the front and rear brake lever.
Front/Rear Brake
Both the front and rear brakes are the hydraulic disc types.
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level drops.
There are no adjustments to perform, but fluid level and pad wear must be inspected periodically. The system must be inspected frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks.
If the control lever free travel becomes excessive and the brake pads are not worn beyond the recommended limit (page 89 ), there is probably air in the brake system and it must be bled. See your Honda dealer for this service.
22
09/08/05 17:24:24 32KTGC00_033
Front Brake Fluid Level:
With the scooter in an upright position, check the fluid level. It should be above the below the LOWER level mark, check the brake pads for wear (page 89 ).
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are not worn, have your brake system inspected for leaks.
The recommended brake fluid is Honda
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container, or an equivalent.
Other Checks:
Make sure there are no fluid leaks. Check for deterioration or cracks in the hoses and fittings.

COOLANT
Coolant Recommendation
Use only genuine HONDA PRE-MIX
COOLANT containing corrosion inhibitors, specifically recommended for aluminum engines when adding or replacing the coolant.
Genuine HONDA PRE-MIX COOLANT is excellent at preventing corrosion and overheating. The effects last for up to 2 years.
The coolant should be inspected and replaced properly by f ollowing the maintenance schedule (page 69 ).
Use any genuine HONDA PRE-MIX
COOLANT without diluting with water.
Do not use non-ethylene glycol coolant, tap water, nor mineral water when adding or replacing the coolant.
Use of improper coolant may cause damage, such as corrosions in the engine, blockage of the cooling passage or radiator and premature wear of the water pump seal.

fuel fill cap and fuel tank are aligned.
Close the seat.
Use unleaded petrol with a research octane number of 91 or higher.
The use of leaded petrol will cause premature damage to the catalytic converter.
If ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinking’’ occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, change brands of petrol. If spark knock or pinking persists, consult your Honda dealer.
Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered by
Honda’s Limited Warranty.
28
09/08/05 17:25:02 32KTGC00_039
Petrol Containing Alcohol
If you decide to use a petrol containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure it’s octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by
Honda. There are two types of ‘‘gasohol’’: one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do not use petrol that contains more than 10 % ethanol. Do not use petrol containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use petrol containing more than 5 % methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
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.
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the fuel contains alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using a petrol that contains alcohol, or one that you think contains alcohol, switch to a petrol that you know does not contain alcohol.

TUBELESS TYRES
To safely operate your scooter, your tyres must be the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated for the load you are carrying. The following pages give more detailed information on how and when to check your air pressure, how to inspect your tyres for damage, and what to do when your tyres need to be repaired or replaced.
Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tyre inflation and maintenance.

Keeping your tyres properly inf lated provides the best combination of handling, tread life and riding comfort. Generally, underinf lated tyres w ear unevenly, adversely affect handling, and are more likely to fail from being overheated.
Overinflated tyres make your scooter ride harshly, are more prone to damage from road hazards, and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check your tyres before every ride and use a gauge to measure air pressure at least once a month or any time you think the tyres might be low.
Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing ability if they are punctured. However, because leakage is often very slow, you should look closely for punctures whenever a tyre is not fully inflated.
31
09/08/05 17:25:26 32KTGC00_042
Always check air pressure when your tyres are ‘‘cold’’
− when the scooter has been parked for at least three hours. If you check air pressure when your tyres are ‘‘warm’’ − when the scooter has been ridden for even a few miles
− the readings will be higher than if the tyres were ‘‘cold’’. This is normal, so do not let air out of the tyres to match the recommended cold air pressures given below. If you do, the tyres will be underinflated.
The recommended ‘‘cold’’ tyre pressures are:
Inspection
Whenever you check the tyre pressures, you should also examine the tyre treads and sidewalls for wear, damage, and foreign objects:
Look for:
Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any bumps or bulges.
Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replace the tyre if you can see fabric or cord.
Excessive tread wear.
Also, if you hit a pothole or hard object, pull to the side of the road as soon as you can safely and carefully inspect the tyres for damage.

Tyre Repair
If a tyre is punctured or damaged, you should replace it, not repair it. As discussed below, a tyre that is repaired, either temporarily or permanently, will have lower speed and performance limits than a new tyre.
A temporary repair, such as an external tubeless tyre plug, may not be safe for normal speeds and riding conditions. If a temporary or emergency repair is made to a tyre, you should ride slowly and cautiously to a dealer and have the tyre replaced. If possible, you should not carry a passenger or cargo until a new tyre is installed.
Even if a tyre is professionally repaired with a permanent internal patch plug, it will not be as good as a new tyre. You should not exceed 60 km/h (40 mph) for the first 24 hours. In addition, you may not be able to safely carry as much weight as with a new tyre. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you replace a damaged tyre. If you choose to have a tyre repaired, be sure the wheel is balanced before you ride.
34
09/08/05 17:25:45 32KTGC00_045
Tyre Replacement
The tyres that came on your scooter were designed to match the perf ormance capabilities of your scooter and provide the best combination of handling, braking, durability and comfort.
Installing improper tyres on your scooter can affect handling and stability. This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tyres recommended in this owner’s manual.
The recommended tyres for your scooter are:
Front:
100/80 − 16M/C 50P
DUNLOP
D451
IRC
SS − 530F
Rear: 120/80 − 16M/C 60P
DUNLOP
D451
IRC
SS − 530R
Type: bias − ply, tubeless
Whenever you replace a tyre, use one that is equivalent to the original and be sure the wheel is balanced after the new tyre is installed.
35
09/08/05 17:25:49 32KTGC00_046
Important Saf ety Reminders
Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre on this scooter. Excessive heat build-up can cause the tube to burst.
Use only tubeless tyres on this scooter.
The rims are designed for tubeless tyres, and during hard acceleration or braking, a tube-type tyre could slip on the rim and cause the tyre to rapidly deflate.

MAINTENANCE
THE IMPORTANCE OF
MAINTENANCE
A well-maintained scooter is essential for safe, economical and trouble-free riding. It will also help reduce air pollution.
To help you properly care for your scooter, the following pages include a Maintenance
Schedule and a Maintenance Record for regularly scheduled maintenance.
These instructions are based on the assumption that the scooter will be used exclusively for its designed purpose.
Sustained high speed operation or operation in unusually wet or dusty conditions will require more f requent service than specified in the Maintenance Schedule.
C o n s u l t y o u r H o n d a d e a l e r f o r recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
If your scooter overturns or becomes involved in a crash, be sure your Honda dealer inspects all major parts, even if you are able to make some repairs.
Improperly maintaining this scooter or failing to correct a problem before you ride can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this owner’s manual.
65

MAINTENANCE SAFETY
This section includes instructions on some important maintenance tasks. You can perform some of these tasks with the tools provided skills.
− if you have basic mechanical
Other tasks that are more difficult and require special tools are best performed by prof essionals. Wheel removal should normally be handled only by a Honda technician or other qualified mechanic; instructions are included in this manual only to assist in emergency service.
Some of the most important saf ety precautions follow. However, 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.
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in this owner’s manual.
66
09/08/05 17:29:22 32KTGC00_077
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will help eliminate several potential hazards:
Carbon monoxide poisoning f rom engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
Burns f rom hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
Injury f rom moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills required.
To help prevent the scooter from falling over, park it on a firm, level surface, using the center stand to provide support.
To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working around petrol or batteries. Use only nonflammable solvent, not petrol, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks and flames away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
Remember that your Honda dealer knows your scooter best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new Honda Genuine Parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.

CLEANING
Clean your scooter regularly to protect the surface finishes and inspect for damage, wear, and oil, coolant or brake fluid leakage.
Avoid cleaning products that are not specif ically designed f or scooter or automobile surfaces.
They may contain harsh detergents or chemical solvents that could damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your scooter.
If your scooter is still warm from recent operation, give the engine and exhaust system time to cool off.
We recommend avoiding the use of high pressure water spray (typical in coinoperated car washes).
High pressure water (or air) can damage certain parts of the scooter.
Washing the scooter
1.
Rinse the scooter thoroughly with cool
2.
water to remove loose dirt.
Clean the scooter with a sponge or soft cloth using cool water.
Avoid directing water to muffler outlets
3.
and electrical parts.
Clean the plastic parts using a cloth or sponge dampened with a solution of mild detergent and water. Rub the soiled area gently rinsing it frequently with fresh water.
Take care to keep brake fluid or chemical solvents off the scooter.
They will damage the plastic and painted surfaces.
The inside of the headlight lens may be clouded immediately after washing the scooter. Moisture condensation inside the headlight lens will disappear gradually by lighting the headlight in high beam. Run the engine while keeping the headlight on.

TAKING CARE OF THE UNEXPECTED
IF YOU CRASH
Personal safety is your first priority after a crash. 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 f or emergency assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws and regulations if another person or vehicle is involved in the crash.
If there is minor damage, or you are unsure about possible damage, ride slowly and cautiously. Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not immediately apparent, so you should have your scooter thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility as soon as possible. Also, be sure to have your
Honda dealer check the f rame and suspension after any serious crash.
If you decide that you are capable of riding safely, first evaluate the condition of your scooter. If the engine is still running, turn it off and look it over carefully; inspect it for fluid leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts, and secure such parts as the handlebar, control levers, brakes, and wheels.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
This scooter is equipped with a catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts, promoting chemical reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals.
The catalytic converter acts on HC, CO, and
NOx. A replacement unit must be an original Honda part or its equivalent.
The catalytic converter must operate at a high temperature for the chemical reactions to take place. It can set on fire any combustible materials that come near it.
Park your scooter away from high grasses, dry leaves, or other flammables.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to air pollution, and can impair your engine’s performance. Follow these guidelines to protect your scooter’s catalytic converter.
Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small amount of leaded petrol can contaminate the catalyst metals, making the catalytic converter ineffective.
Keep the engine in good running condition.
A poorly running engine can cause the catalytic converter to overheat causing damage to the converter or the scooter.
If your engine is misfiring, backfiring, stalling, or otherwise not running properly, stop riding and turn off the engine. Have your scooter serviced as soon as possible.
