MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your motorcycle 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 most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
Its 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 motorcycles
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
motorcycle accidents. Never ride beyond
your personal abilities or faster than
conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol,
drugs, fatigue and inattention can
significantly reduce your ability to make
good judgements and ride safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding dont 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 Safe Condition
For safe riding, it’s important to inspect
your motorcycle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance.
Never exceed load limits, and only use
accessories that have been approved by
Honda for this motorcycle. See page 4 for
more details.
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, we strongly recommend
that you always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots,
gloves, long pants, 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.
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:
e Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
e Leather gloves to keep your hands warm
and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and
bruises.
e A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for
comfort as well as protection. Bright-
coloured 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 motorcycle.
To avoid possible heat damage to your
motorcycle or personal belongings, do not
block or restrict air flow around the exhaust
muffler with baggage or clothing.
LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
Your motorcycle 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 motorcycle well-
maintained, with good tyres and brakes, you
can safely carry loads within the given limits
and guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit or
carrying an unbalanced load can seriously
affect your motorcycle’s handling, braking
and stability. Non-Honda accessories,
improper 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
motorcycle, 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.
AWARNING
Overloading or improper loading can
cause a crash and you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading
guidelines in this manual.
Load Limits
Following are the load limits for your
motorcycle:
Maximum weight capacity:
180 kg (397 Ibs) ... Except MX
166 kg (366 lbs) ... MX
Includes the weight of the rider,
passenger, all cargo and all accessories
Maximum cargo weight:
14 kg (31 Ibs)
The weight of added accessories will reduce
the maximum cargo weight you can carry.
Loading Guidelines
Your motorcycle 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 information regarding
accessories on page 7.
Improperly loading your motorcycle can
affect its stability and handling. Even if your
motorcycle is properly loaded, you should
ride at reduced speeds and never exceed
130 km/h (80 mph) when carrying cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you carry
a passenger or cargo:
e Check that both tyres are properly
inflated.
e If you change your normal load, you may
need to adjust the front suspension (page
30) and the rear suspension (page 33 ).
e To prevent loose items from creating a
hazard, make sure that all cargo is
securely tied down before you ride away.
e Place cargo weight as close to the center
of the motorcycle as possible.
e Balance cargo weight evenly on both
sides.
* To avoid possible heat damage to your
motorcycle or personal belongings, do not
block or restrict air flow around the
exhaust muffler with baggage or clothing.
Accessories and Modifications
Modifying your motorcycle or using non-
Honda accessories can make your
motorcycle unsafe. Before you consider
making any modifications or adding an
accessory, be sure to read the following
information.
AWARNING
Improper accessories or modifications
can cause a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owners
manual regarding accessories and
modifications.
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only
genuine Honda accessories that have been
specifically designed and tested for your
motorcycle. 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:
e 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.
e Be sure electrical equipment does not
exceed the motorcycle’s electrical system
capacity (page 149 ). A blown fuse can
cause a loss of lights or engine power.
* Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your
motorcycle. This motorcycle was not
designed for these attachments, and their
use can seriously impair your motorcycle's
handling.
Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any
original equipment or modify your
motorcycle in any way that would change its
design or operation. Such changes could
seriously impair your motorcycle's handling,
stability and braking, making it unsafe to
ride.
Removing or modifying your lights,
mufflers, emission control system or other
equipment can also make your motorcycle
illegal.

Spring Preload:
The spring preload adjuster (1) has
10 spring preload positions for different
load or riding conditions.
Use the pin spanner (2) and extension bar
(3) to adjust the rear shock.
Positions 1 to 3 are for a light load and
smooth road conditions. Position 4 is the
standard position. Positions 5 to 10 increase
spring preload for a stiffer rear suspension
and can be used when the motorcycle is
more heavily loaded.
The rear shock absorber assembly includes
a damper unit that contains high pressure
nitrogen gas. Do not attempt to disassemble
or service the damper; it cannot be rebuilt
and must be replaced when worn out.
Disposal should only be done by your
Honda dealer. The instructions found in this
owners manual are limited to adjustment of
the shock assembly only.

BRAKES
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 brake lever or pedal free travel
becomes excessive and the brake pads are
not worn beyond the recommended limit
(page 124 ), there is probably air in the
brake system and it must be bled. See your
Honda dealer for this service.
Front Brake Fluid Level:
With the motorcycle in an upright position,
check the fluid level. It should be above the
LOWER level mark (1). If the level is at or
below the LOWER level mark, check the
brake pads for wear (page 124).
36
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 4 brake fluid from a sealed container,
or an equivalent.

CLUTCH
Clutch adjustment may be required if the
motorcycle stalls when shifting into gear or
tends to creep; or if the clutch slips, causing
acceleration to lag behind engine speed.
Minor adjustments can be made with the
clutch cable adjuster (3) at the clutch lever
1).
Normal clutch lever free play is:
10—20 mm (0.4—0.8 in)

Other Checks:
Check the clutch cable for kinks or signs of
wear that could cause sticking or failure.
Lubricate the clutch cable with a
commercially available cable lubricant to
prevent premature wear and corrosion.
COOLANT
Coolant Recommendation
The owner must properly maintain the
coolant to prevent freezing, overheating,
and corrosion. Use only high quality
ethylene glycol antifreeze containing
corrosion protection inhibitors specifically
recommended for use in aluminum engines.
(SEE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINER LABEL).
Use only low-mineral drinking water or
distilled water as a part of the antifreeze
solution. Water that is high in mineral
content or salt may be harmful to the
aluminum engine.
Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may
cause premature wear of water pump seals
or blockage of radiator passages.
Using tap water may cause engine damage.
The factory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and distilled water in this
motorcycle. This coolant solution is
recommended for most operating
temperatures and provides good corrosion
protection. A higher concentration of
antifreeze decreases the cooling system
performance and is recommended only
when additional protection against freezing
is needed. A concentration of less than 40/
60 (40% antifreeze) will not provide proper
corrosion protection. During freezing
temperatures, check the cooling system
frequently and add higher concentrations of
antifreeze (up to a maximum of 60%
antifreeze) if required.
41
Inspection
The reserve tank is behind the right middle
cowl.
Check the coolant level in the reserve tank
(1) while the engine is at the normal
operating temperature with the motorcycle
in an upright position. If the coolant level is
below the LOWER level mark (3), remove
the right middle cowl (page 69) and the
reserve tank cap (4). |
Add coolant mixture until it reaches the
UPPER level mark (2). Always add coolant
to the reserve tank.
Do not attempt to add coolant by removing
the radiator cap.
If the reserve tank is empty, or if coolant
loss is excessive, check for leaks and see
your Honda dealer for repair.

FUEL
Fuel Tank
The fuel tank capacity including the reserve
supply is:
18.0 £ (4.76 US gal , 3.96 Imp gal)
To open the fuel fill cap (1), insert the
ignition key (2) and turn it clockwise. The
fuel fill cap is hinged and will lift up.
Do not overfill the tank. There should be no
fuel in the filler neck (3).
After refueling, to close the fuel fill cap,
push the fuel fill cap into the filler neck until
it snaps closed and locks. Remove the key.
A WARNING
Petrol is highly flammable and
explosive. You can be bumed or
seriously injured when handling fuel.
e Stop the engine and keep heat,
sparks, and flame away.
e Refuel only outdoors.
e Wipe up spills immediately.

43
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.
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.
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 petrol that contains alcohol, or one
that you think contains alcohol, switch to a
petrol that you know does not contain
alcohol.
45
ENGINE OIL
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level each day before
riding the motorcycle.
The level must be maintained between the
upper (1) and lower (2) level marks in the
inspection window (3).
1. Start the engine and let it idle for 3—5
minutes. Make sure the low oil pressure
indicator goes off. If the indicator light
remains on, stop the engine immediately.
2. Stop the engine and hold the motorcycle
in an upright position on firm, level
ground.
3. After 2—3 minutes, check that the oil
level is between the upper and lower level
marks in the inspection window.
4. If required, remove the oil filler cap (4)
and add the specified oil (page 93) up to
the upper level mark. Do not overfill.
46
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap. Check for oil
leaks.
Running the engine with insufficient oil
pressure may cause serious engine damage.

TUBELESS TYRES
To safely operate your motorcycle, 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.
AWARNING
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 owners
manual regarding tyre inflation and
maintenance.
Air Pressure
Keeping your tyres properly inflated
provides the best combination of handling,
tread life and riding comfort. Generally,
underinflated tyres wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling, and are more
likely to fail from being overheated.
Overinflated tyres make your motorcycle
ride more 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.
47
Always check air pressure when your tyres
are “cold” — when the motorcycle has been
parked for at least three hours. If you check
air pressure when your tyres are “warm” —
when the motorcycle 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:
Front 250 kPa
(2.50 kgf/em? , 36 psi)
Rear 290 kPa
(2.90 kgf/em? , 42 psi)
48
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 safely
can and carefully inspect the tyres for
damage.
Tread Wear
Replace tyres before tread depth at the
center of the tyre reaches the following
limit:
Minimum tread depth
Front: —1.5mm (0.06 in)
Rear: 2.0 mm (0.08 in)
<For Germany >
German law prohibits use of tyres whose
tread depth is less than 1.6 mm.
(2)
(1) Wear indicator
(2) Wear indicator location mark
49
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.
50
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 80 km/h (50 mph) for the first 24
hours, or 130 km/h (80 mph) at any time
thereafter. 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.
Tyre Replacement
The tyres that came on your motorcycle
were designed to match the performance
capabilities of your motorcycle and provide
the best combination of handling, braking,
durability and comfort.
A WARNING
Installing improper tyres on your
motorcycle 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
motorcycle are:
Front: 120/70ZR17M/C (58W)
DUNLOP
D218F
MICHELIN
Pilot SPORTE

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.
51
Important Safety Reminders
e Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre
on this motorcycle. Excessive heat build-
up can cause the tube to burst.
e Use only tubeless tyres on this
motorcycle. 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.

IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (HISS)
(Except MX type»
HISS is the abbreviation of Honda Ignition
Security System.
The immobilizer system (HISS) protects
your motorcycle from theft. A properly-
coded key must be used in the ignition
switch for the engine to start. If an
improperly-coded key (or other device) is
used the engine’s starting circuit is disabled.
56
When the ignition switch is turned ON and
the engine stop switch is at “ () ” (RUN),
the immobilizer system (HISS) indicator
lights for a few seconds, then goes off. If
the indicator remains on, it means the
system does not recognize the coding of the
key. Turn the ignition switch to OFF,
remove the key, reinsert and turn the
switch ON again.
The immobilizer system has such a function
that keeps the immobilizer system (HISS)
indicator blinking at 2 second intervals for
24 hours. This blinking function can be
turned on or off.
To alter the blinking function:
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Push and hold the ADJ button (1) for

OPERATION
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
For your safety, it is very important to take
a few moments before each ride to walk
around your motorcycle and check its
condition. If you detect any problem, be
sure you take care of it, or have it corrected
by your Honda dealer.
44 WARNING
Improperly maintaining this motorcycle
or failing to correct a problem before
riding can cause a crash in which you
can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always perform a pre-ride inspection
before every ride and correct any
problems.
72
1. Engine oil level—add engine oil if
required (page 46). Check for leaks.
2. Fuel level —fill fuel tank when necessary
(page 43). Check for leaks.
3. Coolant level—add coolant if required.
Check for leaks (pages 41 — 42 ).
4. Front and rear brakes —check operation;
make sure there is no brake fluid leakage
(pages 36 — 38).
5. Tyres—check condition and pressure
(pages 47 — 49).
6. Drive chain — check condition and slack
(page 108 — 109 ). Adjust and lubricate
if necessary.
7. Throttle — check for smooth opening and
full closing in all steering positions (page
105).
8. Lights and horn—check that headlight,
stop/tail light, turn signals, indicators and
horn function properly.
9. Engine stop switch—check for proper
function (page 59 ).
10. Side stand ignition cut-off system — check
for proper function (page 116 ).
73
STARTING THE ENGINE
Always follow the proper starting procedure
described below.
This motorcycle is equipped with a side
stand ignition cut-off system. The engine
cannot be started if the side stand is down,
unless the transmission is in neutral. If the
side stand is up, the engine can be started in
neutral or in gear with the clutch lever
pulled in. After starting with the side stand
down, the engine will shut off if the
transmission is put in gear before raising
the side stand.
To protect the catalytic converter in your
motorcycle’s exhaust system, avoid
extending idling and the use of leaded
petrol.
74
Your motorcycle’s exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas. High
levels of carbon monoxide can collect
rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage.
Do not run the engine with the garage door
closed. Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move your
motorcycle out of the garage.
Do not use the electric starter for more than
5 seconds at a time. Release the starter
button for approximately 10 seconds before
pressing it again.
Preparation
Before starting, insert the key, turn the
ignition switch ON and confirm the
following:
e The transmission is in NEUTRAL
(neutral indicator light ON).
e The engine stop switch is at () (RUN).
e The malfunction indicator (MIL) is ON.
e The low oil pressure indicator is ON.
e The PGM-FI indicator is OFF,
e The coolant temperature indicator is OFF.
e The immobilizer system (HISS) indicator
is OFF. (except MX type)
The malfunction indicator (MIL) and low oil
pressure indicator should go off a few
seconds after the engine starts. If the
malfunction indicator (MIL) and the low oil
pressure indicator light during operation,
stop the engine immediately and check the
engine oil level.
If the ignition switch is turned ON with the
engine stop switch & (OFF), the low oil
pressure indicator and malfunction indicator
(MIL) will not light. After turning the
engine stop switch to © (RUN), both
indicators will light as usual after
approximately 8 seconds.
Operating the engine with insufficient oil
pressure can cause serious engine damage.

Starting Procedure
This motorcycle has a fuelinjected engine
with an automatic fast idle. Follow the
procedure indicated below.
Any Air Temperature
® Press the starter button with the throttle
completely closed.
The engine will not start if the throttle is
fully open (because the electronic control
module cuts off the fuel supply).
76
Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start after repeated
attempts, it may be flooded.
1. Leave the engine stop switch set to
© (RUN).
2. Open throttle fully.
3. Press the starter button for 5 seconds.
4. Follow the normal starting procedure.
If the engine starts with unstable idle,
open the throttle slightly.
If the engine does not start, wait for 10
seconds, then follow steps 1— 4 again.
Ignition Cut Off
Your motorcycle is designed to
automatically stop the engine and fuel pump
if the motorcycle is over-turned (a banking
sensor cuts off the ignition system). Before
restarting the engine, you must turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position and then
back to ON.
77
RUNNING-IN
Help assure your motorcycle’s future
reliability and performance by paying extra
attention to how you ride during the first
500 km (300 miles).
During this period, avoid full-throttle starts
and rapid acceleration.
78
RIDING
Review Motorcycle Safety (pages 1 — 8)
before you ride.
Make sure you understand the function of
the side stand mechanism. (See MAIN-
TENANCE SCHEDULE on page 89 and
explanation for SIDE STAND on page 116).
Make sure flammable materials such as dry
grass or leaves do not come in contact with
the exhaust system when riding, idling, or
parking your motorcycle.
1. After the engine has been warmed up,
the motorcycle is ready for riding.
2. While the engine is idling, pull in the
clutch lever and depress the gearshift
pedal to shift into 1st (low) gear.
3. Slowly release the clutch lever and at the
same time gradually increase engine
speed by opening the throttle.
Coordination of the throttle and clutch
lever will assure a smooth positive start.
4. When the motorcycle attains a moderate
speed, close the throttle, pull in the clutch
lever and shift to 2nd gear by raising the
gearshift pedal.
This sequence is repeated to progres-
sively shift to 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th(top)
gear.
79
5. Coordinate the throttle and brakes for
smooth deceleration.
6. Both front and rear brakes should be
used at the same time and should not be
applied strongly enough to lock the wheel,
or braking effectiveness will be reduced
and control of the motorcycle be difficult.
y
6
80
BRAKING
For normal braking, apply both the brake
pedal and lever while down-shifting to
match your road speed. For maximum
braking, close the throttle and firmly apply
the pedal and lever; pull in the clutch lever
before coming to a complete stop to prevent
stalling the engine.
Important Safety Reminders: |
e Independent operation of only the brake
lever or brake pedal reduces stopping
performance.
* Extreme application of the brake controls
may cause wheel lock, reducing control of
the motorcycle.
* When possible, reduce speed or brake
before entering a turn; closing the
throttle or braking in mid-turn may cause
wheel slip. Wheel slip will reduce control
of the motorcycle.
* When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or
on loose surfaces, the ability to maneuver
and stop will be reduced. All of your
actions should be smooth under these
conditions. Rapid acceleration, braking or
turning may cause loss of control. For
your safety, exercise extreme caution
when braking, accelerating or turning.
* When descending a long, steep grade,
use engine compression braking by down-
shifting, with intermittent use of both
brakes.
Continuous brake application can
overheat the brakes and reduce their
effectiveness.
Riding with your foot resting on the
brake pedal or your hand on the brake
lever may actuate the stoplight, giving a
false indication to other drivers. It may
also overheat the brakes, reducing
effectiveness.
81
PARKING
1. After stopping the motorcycle, shift the
transmission into neutral, turn the
handlebar fully to the left, turn the
ignition switch OFF and remove the key.
2. Use the side stand to support the
motorcycle while parked.
Park the motorcycle on firm, level ground to
prevent it from falling over.
If you must park on a slight incline, aim the
front of the motorcycle uphill to reduce the
possibility of rolling off the side stand or
overturning.
3. Lock the steering to help prevent theft
(page 62 ).
82
Make sure flammable materials such as dry
grass or leaves do not come in contact with
the exhaust system when parking your
motorcycle.
To avoid possible heat damage to your
motorcycle or personal belongings, do not
cover the exhaust muffler with a protective
cover or any clothing within 20 minutes
after shutting off the engine.
ANTI-THEFT TIPS
1. Always lock the steering and never leave
the key in the ignition switch. This
sounds simple but people do forget.
2. Be sure the registration information for
your motorcycle is accurate and current.
3. Park your motorcycle in a locked garage
whenever possible.
4. Use an additional anti-theft device of
good quality.
5. Put your name, address, and phone
number in this Owner's Manual and keep
it on your motorcycles at all times.
Many times stolen motorcycles are
identified by information in the Owner's
Manuals that are still with them.

MAINTENANCE
THE IMPORTANCE OF
MAINTENANCE
A well-maintained motorcycle is essential
for safe, economical and trouble-free riding.
It will also help reduce air pollution.
To help you properly care for your
motorcycle, the following pages include a
Maintenance Schedule and a Maintenance
Record for regularly scheduled
maintenance.
These instructions are based on the
assumption that the motorcycle will be used
exclusively for its designed purpose.
Sustained high speed operation or operation
in unusually wet or dusty conditions will
require more frequent service than
specified in the Maintenance Schedule.
Consult your Honda dealer for
recommendations applicable to your
individual needs and use.
84
If your motorcycle 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.
ENE
Improperly maintaining this motorcycle
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.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
This section includes instructions on some
important maintenance tasks. You can
perform some of these tasks with the tools
provided — if you have basic mechanical
skills.
Other tasks that are more difficult and
require special tools are best performed by
professionals. 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 safety
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 owners manual.
85
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
e Make sure the engine is off before you
begin any maintenance or repairs. This
will help eliminate several potential
hazards:
* Carbon monoxide poisoning from
engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation
whenever you operate the engine.
* Burns from hot parts. |
Let the engine and exhaust system cool
before touching.
* Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed
to do so.
e Read the instructions before you begin,
and make sure you have the tools and
skills required.
e To help prevent the motorcycle from
falling over, park it on a firm, level
surface, using the side stand or a
maintenance stand to provide support.
86
e 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 motorcycle best and is fully equipped
to maintain and repair it.
To ensure the best quality and reliability,
use only new genuine Honda parts or their
equivalents for repair and replacement.

Engine Oil and Filter
Engine oil quality is the chief factor
affecting engine service life. Change the
engine oil as specified in the maintenance
schedule (page 88).
When running in very dusty conditions, oil
changes should be performed more
frequently than specified in the
maintenance schedule.
Please dispose of used engine oil in a
manner that is compatible with the
environment. We suggest you take it in a
sealed container to your local recycling
center or service station for reclamation. Do
not throw it in the trash or pour it on the
ground or down a drain.
Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if
repeatedly left in contact with the skin for
prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely
unless you handle used oil on a daily basis,
it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your
hands with soap and water as soon as possi-
ble after handling used oil.
96
Changing the oil filter requires a special oil
filter tool and a torque wrench. If you do not
have these tools and the necessary skill, we
recommend that you have your Honda
dealer perform this service.
If a torque wrench is not used for this
installation, see your Honda dealer as soon
as possible to verify proper assembly.
Change the engine oil with the engine at
normal operating temperature and the
motorcycle on its side stand to assure
complete and rapid draining.

DRIVE CHAIN
Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 86 .
The service life of the drive chain is
dependent upon proper lubrication and
adjustment. Poor maintenance can cause
premature wear or damage to the drive
chain and sprockets.
The drive chain should be checked and
lubricated as part of the Pre-ride Inspection
(page 72 ). Under severe usage, or when
the motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty
or muddy areas, more frequent
maintenance will be necessary.
Inspection:
I. Turn the engine off, place the motorcycle
on its side stand and shift the
transmission into neutral.
2. Check slack in the lower drive chain run
midway between the sprockets.
Drive chain slack should be adjusted to
allow the following vertical movement by
hand:
25—35 mM (1.0— 1.4 in)
108
3. Roll the motorcycle forward. Stop. Check
the drive chain slack. Repeat this
procedure several times. Drive chain
slack should remain constant. If the chain
is slack only in certain sections, some
links are kinked and binding. Binding and
kinking can frequently be eliminated by
lubrication.

If the drive chain requires adjustment, the
procedure is as follows:
1. Place the motorcycle on its side stand
with the transmission in neutral and the
ignition switch off.
2. Loosen the rear axle nut (1).
3. Loosen the lock nuts (2) on both
adjusting bolts (3).
4. Turn both adjusting bolts an equal
number of turns until the correct drive
chain slack is obtained. Turn the
adjusting bolts counterclockwise to
tighten the chain. Turn the adjusting
bolts clockwise and push the rear wheel
toward the front to provide more slack.
Adjust the chain slack at a point midway
between the drive sprocket and the rear
wheel sprocket. Roll the motorcycle
forward. Stop and place it on its side
stand. Recheck chain slack.
Chain slack should be:
25— 35 mM (1.0— 1.4 in)
5. Align the chain adjuster index marks (4)
with the corresponding scale (5)
graduations on both sides of the
swingarm.
Both left and right marks should
correspond. If the axle is misaligned, turn
the left or right adjusting bolt until the
marks correspond on the scale
graduation on the swingarm and recheck
chain slack.
6. Tighten the axle nut to specified torque.
Axle nut torque:
113 N-m (11.5 kgf-m , 83 Ibf-ft)
If a torque wrench is not used for this
installation, see your Honda dealer as soon
as possible to verify proper assembly.
7. Tighten the adjusting bolts lightly by
turning it counterclockwise, then tighten
the lock nuts by holding the adjusting
bolts with a spanner.
8. Recheck drive chain slack.
111
Wear Inspection:
Check the chain wear label when adjusting
the chain. If the red zone (6) on the label
aligns with the index mark (7) on the chain
adjuster plate after the chain has been
adjusted to the proper slack, the chain is
excessively worn and must be replaced. The
proper slack is:
25—35 mm (1.0—1.4 in)
Damage to the bottom part of the frame
may be caused by excessive drive chain
slack of more than:
50 mm (2.0 in)
Replacement chain:

Lubrication and Cleaning:
Lubricate every 1,000 km (600 miles) or
sooner if chain appears dry.
The drive chain on this motorcycle is
equipped with small O-rings between the
link plates. These O-rings retain grease
inside the chain to improve its service life.
The O-rings in this chain can be damaged
by steam cleaning, high pressure washers,
and certain solvents. Clean the side surfaces
of the chain with a dry cloth. Do not brush
the rubber O-rings. Brushing will damage
them. Wipe dry and lubricate only with SAE
80 or 90 gear oil. Commercial chain lubri-
cants may contain solvents which could
damage the rubber O-rings.

CLEANING
Clean your motorcycle regularly to protect
the surface finishes and inspect for damage,
wear, and oil, coolant or brake fluid leakage.
Avoid cleaning products that are not
specifically designed for motorcycle or
automobile surfaces.
They may contain harsh detergents or
chemical solvents that could damage the
metal, paint, and plastic on your motorcycle.
If your motorcycle 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 coin-
operated car washes).
138
High pressure water (or air) can damage
certain parts of the motorcycle.
Do not apply the pressured water directly to
the air intake (1). The water can be drawn
into the throttle body and/or enter the air
cleaner.
(1)
(1) Air intake
Washing the motorcycle
1. Rinse the motorcycle thoroughly with
cool water to remove loose dirt.
2. Clean the motorcycle with a sponge or
soft cloth using cool water.
Avoid directing water to muffler outlets
and electrical parts.
3. 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 motorcycle.
They will damage the plastic and painted
surfaces.
The taillight lens on your motorcycle is
clear. The lens may become discolored if
exhaust deposits or road contaminants
accumulate on it. Exhaust deposits and road
contaminants can be removed with a wet
cloth and mild detergent.
139
4, After cleaning, rinse the motorcycle
thoroughly with plenty of clean water.
Strong detergent residue can corrode
alloy parts.
5. Dry the motorcycle, start the engine, and
let it run for several minutes.
6. Test the brakes before riding the
motorcycle. Several applications may be
necessary to restore normal braking
performance.
7. Lubricate the drive chain immediately
after washing and drying the motorcycle.
Braking efficiency may be temporarily
impaired immediately after washing the
motorcycle.
Anticipate longer stopping distance to avoid
a possible accident.
140
Finishing Touches
After washing your motorcycle, consider
using a commercially-available spray
cleaner/polish or quality liquid or paste wax
to finish the job. Use only a non-abrasive
polish or wax made specifically for
motorcycles or automobiles. Apply the
polish or wax according to the instructions
on the container.
If a surface on your motorcycle is chipped
or scratched, your Honda dealer has touch-
up paint to match your motorcycle’s colour.
Be sure to use your motorcycle’s colour
code (page 92) when you buy touch-up
paint.
Removing Road Salt
The salt contained in the road surface
freezing prevention medicine which a road
was sprayed with in winter, and the
seawater becomes the cause which rust
occurs in.
Wash your motorcycle by the following
point after it runs through such a place.
1. Clean the motorcycle using cool water
(page 139 ).
Do not use warm water.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
2. Dry the motorcycle and the surface of the
metal is protected with the wax.
Painted Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
Aluminum may corrode from contact with
dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean the wheels
after riding through any of these
substances. Use a wet sponge and mild
detergent. Avoid stiff brushes, steel wool, or
cleaners containing abrasives or chemical
compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water
and dry with a clean cloth.
Apply touch-up paint to the wheels where
damage has resulted.
Clean the mat colour painted surface
Using plenty of water, clean the mat colour
painted surface with a soft cloth or sponge.
Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Use neutral detergent to clean mat colour
painted surface.
Do not use waxes containing compounds.
141
Clean the mat painted surface
Using plenty of water, clean the mat painted
surface with a soft cloth or sponge. Dry
with a soft, clean cloth.
Use neutral detergent to clean mat painted
surface.
Do not use waxes containing compounds.
142
Exhaust Pipe And Muffler Maintenance
The exhaust pipe and muffler is stainless
steel but may become stained by mud or
dust.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge
and a liquid kitchen abrasive, then rinse
well with clean water. Dry with chamois or a
soft towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using a
commercially available fine texture
compound. Then rinse by the same manner
as removing mud or dust.
STORAGE GUIDE
Extended storage, such as for winter,
requires that you take certain steps to
reduce the effects of deterioration from
non-use of the motorcycle. In addition,
necessary repairs should be made BEFORE
storing the motorcycle; otherwise, these
repairs may be forgotten by the time the
motorcycle is removed from storage.
STORAGE

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
This motorcycle 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 motorcycle away from high
grasses, dry leaves, or other flammables.
150
A defective catalytic converter contributes
to air pollution, and can impair your engine’s
performance. Follow these guidelines to
protect your motorcycle’s catalytic
converter.
e Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small
amount of leaded petrol can contaminate
the catalyst metals, making the catalytic
converter ineffective.
e Keep the engine tuned-up.
e Have your motorcycle diagnosed and
replaced if it is misfiring, backfiring,
stalling or otherwise not running properly.
