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. 11

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 rails 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.

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.

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 (

2

P. 17), and do not modify

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

2

P. 16).

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.

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 evaluate the condition of your motorcycle. If the engine is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid leaks,

14 CTX700-32MJF8000.book 5 ページ２０１３年５月９日　木曜日　午後９時５９分 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.

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.


3

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.

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.

Brakes

Observe the following guidelines:

●

Avoid excessively hard braking and sudden shifting to a lower gear.

u Sudden braking can reduce the motorcycle’s stability.

u Where possible, reduce speed before turning; otherwise you risk wheel slippage.

●

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.


❙

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

This model is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake

System (ABS) designed to help prevent the brakes from locking up during hard braking.

●

ABS does not reduce braking distance. In certain circumstances, ABS may result in a longer stopping distance.

●

ABS does not function at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph).

●

The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly when applying the brakes. This is normal.

●

Always use the recommended tyres to ensure correct ABS operation.


❙

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.

continued

Parking

●

●

Park on a firm, level paved 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 when leaving the motorcycle unattended.

Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.

❙

Parking with the Side Stand

1. Stop the engine.

2. Push the side stand down.

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

4. Turn the handlebar fully to the left.

u Turning the handlebar to the right reduces stability and may cause the motorcycle to fall.

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

2

P. 31



Refuelling and Fuel Guidelines

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. 120

Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or an

● oil/petrol mixture.

Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

NOTICE

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

NOTICE

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

continued

55


56


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

Engine Oil

Engine oil consumption 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


2

P. 129

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 *1 : MA

SAE standard *2 : 10W-30

API classification *3 : 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.

Oil code

Oil 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.

Not recommended Recommended


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.

NOTICE

Brake fluid can damage plastic and painted surfaces.

Wipe up spills immediately and wash thoroughly.

Recommended brake fluid:

Honda DOT 4 Brake Fluid or equivalent


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

Also inspect the engine sprocket and rear wheel sprocket. If either has worn or damaged teeth, have the sprocket replaced by your dealer.

Normal

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.

NOTICE

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

continued

57

58



❙

Cleaning and Lubricating

After inspecting the slack, clean the chain and sprockets while rotating the rear wheel. Use dry cloth with chain cleaner designed specifically for O-ring chains, or neutral detergent. Use a soft brush if the chain is dirty.

After cleaning, wipe dry and lubricate with the recommended lubricant. If not available, use

SAE 80 or 90 gear oil.

Recommended lubricant:

Drive chain lubricant designed specifically for O-ring chains.

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

Do not use a steam cleaner, a high pressure cleaner, a wire brush, volatile solvent such as petrol and benzene, abrasive cleaner, chain cleaner or lubricant NOT designed specifically for O-ring chains as these can damage the rubber O-ring seals.

Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tyres.

Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to prevent spray onto your clothes and the motorcycle.

Recommended Coolant

Pro Honda HP coolant is a pre-mixed solution of antifreeze and distilled water.

Concentration:

50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water

A concentration of antifreeze below 40% will not provide proper corrosion and cold temperature protection.


A concentration of up to 60% will provide better protection in colder climates.

NOTICE

Using coolant not specified for aluminium engines or ordinary tap water can cause corrosion.

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.

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.

❙

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 the bumps or bulges in the side walls of the tyres.

❙

Inspecting for Abnormal Wear

Fuels Containing Alcohol

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) up to 10% by volume.

u Petrol containing ethanol may be marketed under the name Gasohol.

The use of petrol containing more than 10% ethanol 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.

NOTICE

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

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


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.

Catalytic Converter

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


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.

Washing

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 windscreen, 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 will suffer greatly reduced braking effectiveness and can lead to 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.


❙

Washing Precautions

Follow these guidelines when washing:

●

Do not use high-pressure washers: u High-pressure water cleaners can damage moving parts and electrical parts,

● rendering them inoperable.

Do not direct water at the muffler: u Water in the muffler can prevent starting and causes rust in the muffler.

●

Dry the brakes: u Water adversely affects braking effectiveness. After washing, apply the

● brakes intermittently at low speed to help dry them.

Do not direct water under the seat: u Water in the under seat compartment can damage your documents and other

● belongings.

Do not direct water at the air cleaner: u Water in the air cleaner can prevent the engine from starting.

●

Do not direct water near the headlight:


u Any condensation inside the headlight should dissipate after a few minutes of running the engine.

●

Do not use waxes containing compounds at the matte painted surface: u Using plenty of water, clean the matte painted surface with a soft cloth or sponge. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

u Use neutral detergent to clean matte painted surface.

Aluminium Components

Aluminium will corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean aluminium parts regularly and follow these guidelines to avoid scratches:

●

Do not use stiff brushes, steel wool, or cleaners containing abrasives.

●

Avoid riding over or scraping against curbs.

continued

123

124



Panels

Follow these guidelines to prevent scratches and blemishes:

●

Wash gently using a soft sponge and plenty of water.

●

To remove stubborn stains, use diluted detergent and rinse thoroughly with plenty of

● water.

Avoid getting petrol, brake fluid, or detergents on the instruments, windscreen, panels, or headlight.

Exhaust Pipe and Muffler

The exhaust pipe and muffler are 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.

NOTICE

Even though the exhaust is made of stainless steel, it can become stained. Remove all marks and blemishes as soon as they are noticed.


Storing Your Motorcycle

If you store your motorcycle outdoors, you should consider using a full-body motorcycle cover.

If you won’t be riding for an extended period, follow these guidelines:

●

Wash your motorcycle and wax all painted surfaces (except matte painted surfaces).

●

●

Coat chrome pieces with rust-inhibiting oil.

Lubricate the drive chain.

2

P. 58

Place your motorcycle on a maintenance stand and position a block so that both tyres

● are off the ground.

After rain, remove the body cover and allow

● the motorcycle to dry.

Remove the battery (

2

P. 69) to prevent

discharge.

Charge the battery in a shaded, wellventilated area.

u If you leave the battery in place, disconnect the negative

-

terminal to prevent discharge.

Storing Your Motorcycle

After removing your motorcycle from storage, inspect all maintenance items required by the

Maintenance Schedule.

Transporting Your

Motorcycle

If your motorcycle needs to be transported, it should be carried on a motorcycle trailer or a flatbed truck or trailer that has a loading ramp or lifting platform, and motorcycle tie-down straps. Never try to tow your motorcycle with a wheel or wheels on the ground.

NOTICE

Towing your motorcycle can cause serious damage to the transmission.

You & the Environment

You & the Environment

Owning and riding a motorcycle can be enjoyable, but you must do your part to protect the environment.

Choose Sensible Cleaners

Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash your motorcycle. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which damage the atmosphere’s protective ozone layer.

Recycle Wastes

Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved containers and take them to a recycling centre.

Call your local or state office of public works or environmental services to find a recycling centre in your area, and to get instructions on how to dispose of non-recyclable wastes. Do not place used engine oil in the trash, or pour it down a drain or on the ground. Used oil, petrol, coolant, and cleaning solvents contain poisons that can hurt refuse workers and contaminate drinking water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.


Serial Numbers

The frame and engine serial numbers uniquely identify your motorcycle and are required in order to register your motorcycle. They may also be required when ordering replacement parts.

The frame number is stamped on the right side of the steering head.

The engine number is stamped on the right rear side of the crankcase.

You should record these numbers and keep them in a safe place.
