riders. Most states require a special
riding test or license. Make sure you are
qualified before you ride. NEVER lend
your scooter to an inexperienced rider.
4. Many automobile/scooter accidents
happen because the automobile driver
does not “see” the rider. Make
yourself conspicuous to help avoid the
accident that wasn’t your fault:
®* Wear bright or reflective clothing.
e Dont ride in another motorists
“blind spot.”
.Obey all federal, state and local laws
and regulations.
e Excessive speed is a factor in many
accidents. Obey the speed limits, and
NEVER travel faster than conditions
warrant.
® Signal before you make a turn or lane
change to alert other motorists of
your intentions.
.Don’t let other motorists surprise you.
Use extra caution at intersections,
parking lot entrances and exits, and
driveways.
7. This scooter is designed for speeds up to
38 mph. Check local and state laws
limiting operation. Riding on roads where
other vehicles are traveling at greater
rates of speed is not advisable. If you must
ride in these conditions, be especially
alert.
8. Keep both hands on the handlebars and
both feet on the floor boards while
riding.
9. Never leave your scooter unattended
with the engine running.
10.Moderate your speed when riding over
bumpy roads. Avoid hitting road

LOADING AND ACCESSORIES
A WARNING
* A scooter is sensitive to changes
in weight distribution. Improper
loading of cargo and mounting of
accessories can impair the
scooters stability and
performance. To prevent an
accident, use extreme care when
mounting accessories and riding
with cargo.
These general guidelines may help you
decide whether or how to equip your
scooter, and how to load it safely.
1. The combined weight of the rider,
cargo, and all accessories must not
exceed the maximum weight capacity:
91 kg (200 165)
2. Do not install another fairing or modify
the existing one.
3.Do not carry items that protrude
through the rack or block the taillight.
4.Do not carry pets on either carrier.
<< | поп» 0 тп ООС
<- IMmIPO DM-40000
5, Keep cargo weight low and close to the
center of the scooter. As weight is
located farther from the center of
gravity, handling is proportionally
affected. Load weight equally to
minimize imbalance.
6. When the optional front basket is
installed, be sure that loaded parcels do
not protrude from the basket, since the
parcels may interfere with the steering
or headlight.
Overloading the scooter will adversely affect stability and handling.
Rear carrier;

FUEL
Fuel Tank
The fuel tank is located under the step board.
Unlock and open the fuel tank lid (1) with the
ignition key, then remove the fuel cap (2) by
turning it counterclockwise. Fuel tank capaci-
ty is:
5.0 7 (1.32 US gal, 1.10 Imp gal)
Install the fuel tank cap by turning it
clockwise. Make sure to lock the fuel tank lid
securely after filling.
Your engine is designed to use any
gasoline that has a pump octane number
(R+M)/2 of 86 or higher, or that has a
research octane number of 91 or higher.
Gasoline pumps at service stations
normally display the pump octane number.
(1) Fuel tank lid (2) Fuelcap (3) Filler neck
20
We recommend that you use unleaded
fuel because it produces fewer engine and
spark plug deposits and extends the life of
exhaust system components.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline
or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting
dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank. Use of
a lower octane gasoline can cause
persistent “pinging” or heavy “spark
knock” (a metallic rapping noise) which,
if severe, can lead to engine damage.
FOR AUSTRALIA ONLY:
Use unleaded petrol with a research octane
number of 91 or higher.
CAUTION:
* If “spark knock” or “pinging” oc-
curs at a steady engine speed un-
der normal load, change brands of
gasoline. If spark knock or
pinging persists, consult your au-
thorized Honda dealer. Failure to
do so is considered misuse, and
damage caused by misuse is not
covered by Honda’s Limited
Warranty.
Occasionally you may experience light
spark knock while operating under heavy
loads. This is no cause for concern, it
simply means your engine is operating
efficiently.
AWARNING
* Gasoline is extremely flammable
and is explosive under certain con-
ditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated
area with the engine stopped. Do
not smoke or allow flames or sparks
in the area where gasoline is stored
or where the fuel tank is refueled.
* Do not overfill the tank (there
should be no fuel in the filler neck
(3). After refueling, make sure the
fuel cap is closed securely.
* Be careful not to spill fuel when
refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor
may ignite. If any fuel is spilled,
make sure the area is dry before
starting the engine.
21
AWARNING
* Avoid repeated or prolonged
contact with skin or breathing of
vapor. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
Gasolines Containing Alcohol
If vou decide to use a gasoline containing
alcohol ( “gasohol” ), be sure its 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 gasohol that
contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not
use gasoline containing methanol (methyl
or wood alcohol) that does not also contain
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for
methanol. Never use gasoline containing
more than 5% methanol, even if it has
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
22
NOTE:
* Fuel system damage or engine
performance problems resulting from
the use of fuels that contain alcohol is
not covered under the warranty. Honda
cannot endorse the use of fuels
containing methanol since evidence of
their suitability is as yet incomplete.
* 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 gasoline that
contains alcohol, or one that you think
contains alcohol, switch to a gasoline
that you know does not contain alcohol.
ENGINE OIL
Oil Level
When the oil level indicator lights, it
means the oil level in the oil tank is low;
stop the engine and fill the oil tank as soon
as possible.
AWARNING
* If the warning light comes on
while riding, stop riding and shut
the engine off, Fill the oil tank to
the UPPER LEVEL mark with
therecommended oil (see page
24 ). Continuing to ride with a
low oil level may lead to engine
failure that could result in an
accident.
CAUTION:
* If the engine has been run after
the oil indicator light has come on,
the scooter must be taken to an
authorized Honda scooter dealer
for inspection and bleeding of the
oil system, Failure to do this will
result in serious engine damage.
To fill, lift the seat, lift the oil tank lid (1), (2)
remove the cap (3) from the oil tank, and fill
with the recommended oil up to the UPPER
LEVEL mark (4).
Capacity:
1.2 £ (1.2 US qt, 1.0 Imp qt)
(1), (2) Oil tank lid
(3) Oil tank cap (4) UPPER LEVEL mark
23
Oil Recommendation:
USE HONDA 2-STROKE OIL OR AN
EQUIVALENT
CAUTION:
* The use of improper oils may
cause excessive and/or premature
carbon build-up in the engine and
exhaust system, resulting in loss
of power and possible engine
damage. Genuine Honda 2-Stroke
Oil has been specifically designed
and tested in Honda scooters and
is a proper oil.
NOTE:
* When filling, do not let dirt or other
foreign materials enter the tank.

TIRES
Maintaining proper tire pressure will
provide maximum traction, stability,
riding comfort and tire life.
See your authorized Honda scooter dealer
for repair or replacement of tires.
Tire Pressure Check
Check tire pressures frequently with a
tire pressure gauge and adjust if
necessary.
NOTE:
* Tire pressure should be checked before
you ride, while the tires are “cold.”
A WARNING
+ Improper tire inflation will cause
abnormal tread wear and create a
safety hazard. Underinflation
may result in the tire slipping on,
or coming off of the rim causing
tire deflation that may result in a
loss of vehicle control.

type. If your battery seems weak and/or is
leaking electrolyte (causing hard starting
or other electrical troubles), contact your
authorized Honda scooter dealer.
A WARNING
* Even though the battery is sealed,
it still vents explosive gases.
Do not allow open flames or
sparks near the battery.
CAUTION:
* Removing the battery caps can
damage the caps and result in
leaks and eventual battery
damage.
28
CAUTION:
* When the scooter is to be stored

BREAK-IN
During the first 1,000 km (600 miles), do
not operate the scooter at more than 80%
of the maximum speed.
Avoid full throttle operation, and do not
operate for a long time at one speed.
During initial break-in, newly machined
surfaces will be in contact with each other
and these surfaces will wear in quickly.
Break-in maintenance at 1,000 km (600 miles)
is designed to compensate for this initial
minor wear. Timely performance of the
break-in maintenance will ensure optimum
service life and performance from the engine.

HIGH ALTITUDE RIDING
When operating this scooter at high
altitude, the air-fuel mixture becomes
overly rich. Above 2,000 m (6,500 feet)
driveability and performance may be
reduced and fuel consumption increased.
The carburetor can be modified to
compensate for this high altitude richness.
However, the carburetor must be
returned to standard factory
specifications when lower altitude riding
is desired. See your authorized Honda
scooter dealer for high altitude
modification.
CAUTION:
* Sustained operation at altitudes
below 1,500 m (5,000 feet) with
high altitude carburetor modifica-
tions may cause engine overheating
and damage.
52
MAINTENANCE
* When service is required, remember that your authorized Honda scooter dealer knows
your scooter best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it. The scheduled
maintenance may also be performed by a qualified service facility that normally does
this kind of work; or you may perform most of the work yourself if you are
mechanically qualified.
* The maintenance intervals shown in the following schedule are based upon average
riding conditions. Scooters subjected to severe use, or ridden in unusually muddy or
dusty areas, require more frequent servicing.
* Consult your authorized Honda scooter dealer for recommendations applicable to your
individual needs and use.
