Riding


When riding in wet or rainy conditionsor loose surfaces, the ability tomaneuver and stop is reduced. For yoursafety:

Exercise extreme caution whenbraking, accelerating, or turning.Ride at slower speeds and allow forextra stopping distance.Keep the scooter as upright aspossible.Use extreme caution when ridingover slippery surface such as railroadtracks, iron plates, manhole covers,painted lines, etc.

12.

56

Braking


Applying the brakes too hard may causethe wheels to lock and slide, reducingcontrol of your scooter. If this happens,release the brake controls, steer straightahead until you regain control, thenreapply the brakes more gently.

Your scooter is equipped with a LinkedBraking System. Operating the front brakelever applies the front brake. Operatingthe rear brake lever applies the rear brakeand a portion of the front brake. For fullbraking effectiveness, use the front andrear brake levers simultaneously.

As with a conventional scooter brakingsystem, excessively hard application of thebrake controls may cause wheel lock,reducing control of the scooter.

As a general rule, the front braking systemprovides about 70 percent of total stoppingpower.

To slow or stop, apply the front and rearbrake levers smoothly.

Gradually increase braking as you feel thebrakes slowing your speed.

For support, before coming to a completestop, put your left foot down first, thenyour right foot down.

０９／０４／０２　１０：２０：５２　３１ＧＦＭ６００　００６５　

57

Braking


Your ability to brake in a turn and to brakehard in an emergency situation areimportant riding skills. We suggestattending a Motorcycle Safety Foundationexperienced rider training course(page ) to retain these skills.

When possible, reduce your speed orcomplete braking before entering a turn.Avoid braking or closing the throttlequickly while turning. Either action maycause one or both wheels to slip andreduce your control of your scooter.

When riding in wet or rainy conditions, oron loose surfaces, the ability to maneuverand stop will be reduced. All of youractions should be smooth under theseconditions. Rapid acceleration, braking orturning may cause loss of control.

For your safety, exercise extreme cautionwhen braking, accelerating or turning.

When descending a long, steep grade, useboth brakes intermittently. Continuousbrake application can overheat the brakesand reduce their effectiveness.

Riding with your hand on either brakelever may actuate the brakelight, giving afalse indication to other drivers. It mayalso overheat the brakes, reducingeffectiveness.28

Theft-prevention Tips

Parking


If you decide to use an anti-theft device,select one of good quality and be sure tofollow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Always take the ignition key with you.Always use the steering lock (page ),even if you’re parking for just a minuteor two. A thief can easily push anunlocked scooter to a waiting truck.In addition to the steering lock, use agood quality anti-theft device madespecifically to lock a scooter to a secureobject.

Keep your owner’s manual, currentregistration, and insurance informationwith your scooter. This will make iteasier for the authorities to find you ifyour scooter is stolen and recovered.

Park your scooter in a locked garagewhenever possible. If a garage isn’tavailable, park in a concealed area or ina well-lit area with enough pedestriantraffic to discourage a thief.

Carbon monoxide poisoning fromengine exhaust.

Burns from hot scooter parts.

Injury from moving parts.

Read the instructions before you begin,and make sure you have the tools andskills required.

Make sure the engine is off before youbegin any maintenance or repairs. Thiswill help eliminate several potentialhazards:

Be sure there isadequate ventilation whenever youoperate the engine.

Let theengine and exhaust system cool beforetouching.

Do not runthe engine unless instructed to do so.

To reduce the possibility of a fire orexplosion, be careful when workingaround gasoline. Use onlynon-flammable solvent, not gasoline, toclean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, andflames away from all fuel-related parts.

Be sure the rear brake lock is set beforerunning the engine while the scooter issupported by the center stand. This willprevent the rear wheel from spinningand avoid the possibility of someonebeing injured from contacting the wheel.

Fuel


Saf ety PrecautionsRefer to on page .

Use only unleaded fuel in your Honda.The use of leaded fuel will damage thecatalytic converter(s). If you ride yourHonda in a country where leaded fuelmight be available, take precautions to useonly unleaded fuel.

Use of lower octane gasoline can causepersistent ‘‘pinging’’ or ‘‘spark knock’’ (aloud rapping noise) which, if severe, canlead to engine damage. Light pingingexperienced while operating under a heavyload, such as climbing a hill, is no causefor concern.

Your engine is designed to use anyunleaded gasoline that has a pump octanenumber of 86 or higher. Gasoline pumpsat service stations normally display thepump octane number. For information onthe use of oxygenated fuels, see page .

If pinging or spark knock occurs at asteady engine speed under normal load,change brands of gasoline. If pinging orspark knock persists, consult your Hondadealer. (cont’d)

Engine Oil & Strainer Screen

Engine oil quality is a major factor thataffects both the performance and theservice life of the engine.

When running in very dusty conditions, oilchanges should be performed morefrequently than specified in themaintenance schedule.

Using the proper oil (page ) and filter,and regularly checking, adding, andchanging oil will help extend yourengine’s life. Even the best oil wears out.Changing oil helps get rid of dirt anddeposits in the engine. Operating theengine with old or dirty oil can damageyour engine. Running the engine withinsufficient oil can cause serious damageto the engine and transmission.

Change the engine oil as specified in themaintenance schedule on page .

Coolant Recommendation

Coolant


Using coolant with silicate inhibitors maycause premature wear of water pumpseals or blockage of radiator passages.Using tap water may cause enginedamage.

Maintaining the coolant will allow thecooling system to work properly andprevent freezing, overheating, andcorrosion.

Use Pro Honda HP coolant or anequivalent high quality ethylene glycolantifreeze containing corrosion protectioninhibitors specifically recommended foruse in aluminum engines. Check theantifreeze container label.

Use only distilled water as a part of thecoolant solution. Water that is high inmineral content or salt may be harmful tothe aluminum engine.

Your scooter’s liquid cooling systemdissipates engine heat through the coolantjacket that surrounds the cylinder andcylinder head.

The factory provides a 50/50 solution ofantifreeze and water in this scooter. Thiscoolant solution is recommended for mostoperating temperatures and provides goodcorrosion protection.

Decreasing the concentration of antifreezeto less than 40% will not provide propercorrosion protection.

Increasing the concentration of antifreezeis not recommended because it decreasescooling system performance. Higherconcentrations of antifreeze (up to 60%)should only be used to provide additionalprotection against freezing. Check thecooling system frequently during freezingweather.

Park the scooter on its center stand on afirm, level surface.

As the brake pads wear, the brake fluidlevel will drop. A leak in the system willalso cause the level to drop.

Hydraulic Front Brake

Frequently inspect the system to ensurethere are no fluid leaks. Periodicallyinspect the brake fluid level and the brakepads for wear.

If the brake lever freeplay does not feelwithin the normal range while riding,check the brake pads for wear (page ).

Worn pads should be replaced. If the padsare not worn beyond the recommendedlimit, there is probably air in the brakesystem. See your Honda dealer to have theair bled from the system.

Drum Rear BrakeFor more information, see page .

The hydraulic (front) and mechanically-activated drum (rear) braking systems onyour scooter dissipate the heat generatedby the friction of the brake pads on thedisc (front) and the brake shoes on thedrum (rear) as the wheels are slowed.

Air Pressure

Tires


Saf ety Precautions

To safely operate your scooter, your tiresmust be the proper type and size, in goodcondition with adequate tread, andcorrectly inflated for the load you arecarrying.

The following pages give detailedinformation on how and when to check

your air pressure, how to inspect your tiresfor wear and damage, and ourrecommendations for tire repair andreplacement.

Refer to on page .

Properly inflated tires provide the bestcombination of handling, tread life, andriding comfort. Generally, underinflatedtires wear unevenly, adversely affecthandling, and are more likely to fail frombeing overheated. Overinflated tires makeyour scooter ride harshly, are more proneto damage from road hazards, and wearunevenly.

Tires


We recommend that you visually checkyour tires before every ride and use an airpressure gauge to measure the air pressureat least once a month or any time youthink the tires might be low. Even tiresthat are in good condition may lose one totwo psi per month if not checked andadjusted regularly.

Tubeless tires have some degree of self-sealing ability if they are punctured.However, because leakage is often veryslow, you should look closely forpunctures whenever a tire is not fullyinflated.

The recommended ‘‘cold’’ tire pressuresare:

Always check air pressure when your tiresare ‘‘cold’’ –– after the scooter has beenparked for at least three hours. If youcheck air pressure when your tires are‘‘warm’’ –– even if your scooter has onlybeen ridden for a few miles –– the

readings will be higher. If you let air outof warm tires to match the recommendedcold pressures, the tires will beunderinflated.

Tire Service Life

Tires


(cont’d)

Inspect the wear indicator ( ) to check forinsufficient tread depth.

If the wear indicators are visible, replacethe tire immediately as it is no longer safe.

The service life of your tires is dependenton many factors, including, but not limitedto, riding habits, road conditions, vehicleloading, tire pressure, maintenance history,speed, and environmental conditions (evenwhen the tires are not in use).In addition to your regular inspections andtire pressure maintenance, it isrecommended that you have annualinspections performed once the tires reach5 years old. It is also recommended that alltires be removed from service after 10

years from the date of manufacture,regardless of their condition or state ofwear.The last four digits of the TIN (tireidentification number) ( ) are found onthe sidewall of the tire, and indicate thedate of manufacture.

Tire Identification Number (TIN)The tire identification number (TIN) is agroup of numbers and letters that look likethe following example. The TIN is locatedon the sidewall of the tire.

Tires


If You Have a Flat Tire,

A temporary repair can sometimes bemade in an emergency situation.However, since a temporary repair maynot hold, you must ride very slowly,preferably without any cargo or passenger,and have the tire replaced or permanentlyrepaired as soon as possible.(For more information on temporaryrepairs, seepage .)

A permanent repair, such as an internalplug patch, can be made if a tire has only asmall puncture in the tread area. With sucha repair, you should not exceed 30 mph(50 km/h) for the first 24 hours. Inaddition, you may not be able to safelycarry as much weight. If you choose tohave a tire repaired, be sure the repairwork is performed by a professional andthat the wheel is balanced before you ride.158

If You Have a Flat Tire


A flat tire is always unwelcome,especially if you are far from help. If youthink you are losing air, or you hit apothole or hard object, pull safely to theside of the road so you can inspect thetires and assess the situation. (Be sure topark on a firm, level surface and use thecenter stand for support.) You shouldexamine the tire treads and sidewalls forforeign objects or damage. If you find atire that has been punctured or damaged,you have two options.

Option 1:Have Your Scooter TransportedIf a tire has a major puncture or a cut inthe tread or sidewall, or the bead has comeloose from the rim, there is probably notmuch you can do except have your scootertransported to a Honda dealer or other

qualified service facility. Even with asimple puncture, this may be the safestand least troublesome solution. Fortransporting instructions, see page .

Option 2:Make a Temporary Roadside RepairIf a tire has only a minor nail puncture andis not completely flat, you may be able tomake an emergency repair that couldallow you to continue riding to where youcan get the tire replaced or permanentlyrepaired.

Riding your scooter with atemporary tire repair can be risky.If the temporary repair fails, youcan crash and be seriously injuredor killed.

If you must ride with a temporarytire repair, ride slowly andcarefully and do not exceed 30mph (50 km/h) until the tire ispermanently repaired or replaced.

159

Types of Temporary Repairs



Due to the uncertainty of any temporaryrepair, you should ride slowly (not over 30mph, 50 km/h) and carefully (preferablywithout a passenger or cargo) until the tireis replaced or permanently repaired. Stop

frequently and check the air pressure. Ifthe tire is losing pressure, it may be unsafeto continue riding. As the tire gets low, itwill affect the handling of your scooter(especially with a passenger and cargo)and it may overheat and blow out.

The following types of temporary repairsgenerally require a source of air to inflatethe tire. Possible sources include COcartridges or cans of compressed airdesigned to inflate a tire.

Should You Repair or Replace aTire?



Inflate the tire:

Plug the hole:

Tubeless tires havesome self-sealing ability if they arepunctured and the result is usually just aslow leak. If this is the case, you can tryinflating the tire to see if it will hold airpressure. If you can see a nail or otherobject embedded in the tire tread, do notremove it at this time.

The idea here is to dosomething to temporarily stop the leak.If you have a tubeless tire repair kit,you can pull out the nail and tryinserting an external plug in thepuncture. Follow the instructions thatcame with the repair kit and be sure toinflate the tire to the correct pressure.

We strongly recommend that you replace,not permanently repair, any tire that ispunctured or damaged, even if the tire hasonly a minor puncture. For a fulldiscussion of repairs and replacement, seepage .124

If Your Engine Overheats


Continuing to ride with an overheatedengine can cause serious engine damage.

Normally, the needle on your temperaturegauge will rise to a point about midwaybetween C (cold) and H (hot) and thenlevel off. Hot weather may cause theneedle to rise higher than normal. So willtemporary stress such as climbing a hill. Ifyou’re stuck in stop-and-go traffic, theneedle may climb some, but the radiatorfan is designed to prevent overheating. Beaware of these variations as you monitorthe gauge.

If the needle moves toward H for noapparent reason, pull safely to the side ofthe road. If possible, park in a shady area.

As long as the needle approaches the H(hot) mark, the PGM-FI malfunctionindicator lamp (MIL) blinks, and thevehicle speed will be automaticallyrestricted.

A steaming engine indicates a coolantleak. Shut the engine off and wait untilthe steaming stops. Look for a leak, butdon’t touch the engine or radiatorsystem. Let everything cool off first.

163

If Your Engine Overheats


If you are able to resume riding, continueto monitor the gauge frequently.

If there’s a mild leak, you can ride forawhile, carefully watching the gauge. Beprepared to stop and add more coolant orwater. If the leak is bad, transport yourscooter to a Honda dealer (page ).

If there’s no obvious problem, leave theengine on so the fan and coolantcirculating system can continueworking. Monitor the temperaturegauge. The needle may drop to thenormal range after a brief stop with noload on the engine.If the reserve tank is low or empty, don’tride without adding coolant (page ).After adding coolant, turn the engine onand check the temperature gauge.If the needle doesn’t drop, do not ride.The engine needs repair. Transport yourscooter to a Honda dealer (page ).If the temperature drops to normal,check the coolant level. If it has gonedown, add more coolant.

If a Fuse Blows


All of the electrical circuits on yourscooter have fuses to protect them fromdamage caused by excess current flow(short circuit or overload).

To prevent an accidental short circuit,turn the ignition switch OFF beforechecking or replacing the fuses.

Recommended Fuses

The main fuse and circuit fuse box(including spare fuses) are located nearthe battery.

If something electrical on your scooterstops working, the first thing you shouldcheck for is a blown fuse.Determine from the chart on the circuitfuse box cover which fuse or fuses controlthat component. Check those fuses first,but check all the fuses before lookingelsewhere for another possible cause ofthe problem. Replace any blown fuses andcheck component operation.

If You Crash


Transporting Your Scooter,

Personal safety is your first priority after acrash. If you or anyone else has beeninjured, take time to assess the severity ofthe injuries and whether it is safe tocontinue riding. Call for emergencyassistance if needed. Also followapplicable laws and regulations if anotherperson or vehicle is involved in the crash.

If there is minor damage, or you areunsure about possible damage, ride slowlyand cautiously. Sometimes, crash damageis hidden or not immediately apparent, soyou should have your scooter thoroughlychecked at a qualified service facility assoon as possible. Also, be sure to haveyour Honda dealer check the frame andsuspension after any serious crash.

If your scooter cannot be ridden, seepage .

If you decide that you are capable ofriding safely, first evaluate the conditionof your scooter. If the engine is stillrunning, turn it off and look it overcarefully; inspect it for fluid leaks, checkthe tightness of critical nuts and bolts, andsecure such parts as the handlebar, controllevers, brakes, and wheels.

169Taking Care of the Unexpected

If You Lose Your Key

Be sure to record your key number in theQuick Reference section at the rear of themanual. You’ll need this number to have aduplicate key made.

A lost key won’t be a problem if you takepreventative action. Store one duplicatekey in a safe place at home and carry asecond duplicate in your wallet.

If you lose your key and aren’t carrying aduplicate, either get your spare or haveone made. If you don’t know your keynumber, call the dealer where youpurchased your Honda. They may have itlisted in their records. If they don’t,transport your scooter to them or thenearest Honda dealer. The dealer willprobably have to remove the ignitionswitch assembly to find the key number sothey can make a key for you.

Source of Exhaust EmissionsThe combustion process produces carbonmonoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx),and hydrocarbons (HC). Control ofhydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen isvery important because, under certainconditions, they react to formphotochemical smog when subjected tosunlight. Carbon monoxide does not reactin the same way, but it is toxic.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. utilizes varioussystems to reduce hydrocarbons, oxides ofnitrogen, and carbon monoxide.

Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)System

Ignition Timing Control System

Exhaust Emission Control System



The PGM-FI system has four subsystems:Air Intake, Engine Control, Fuel Control,and Exhaust Control.The Engine Control Module (ECM) usesvarious sensors to determine how much airis going into the engine. It then controlshow much fuel is injected under alloperating conditions.

The system constantly adjusts the ignitiontiming, reducing the amount of HC, COand NOx produced.

The exhaust emission control systemincludes a secondary air injection system,PGM-FI system, three-way catalyticconverter, and heated oxygen sensor.

No adjustment to these systems should bemade although periodic inspection of thecomponents is recommended.

Secondary Air Injection System

Three-Way Catalytic Converter

Evaporative Emission Control System



The secondary air injection systemintroduces filtered air into the exhaustgases in the exhaust port. The secondaryair injection system helps improveemission control performance.

The three-way catalytic converter is in theexhaust system. Through chemicalreactions, they convert HC, CO, and NOxin the engine’s exhaust to carbon dioxide(CO ), dinitrogen (N ), and water vapor.

This scooter complies with therequirements of the California AirResources Board (CARB) evaporativeemission regulations. Fuel vapor from thefuel tank is directed into the charcoalcanister and air cleaner where it isadsorbed and stored while the engine isstopped. When the engine is running andthe purge control solenoid valve is open,fuel vapor in the charcoal canister and aircleaner is drawn into the engine throughthe throttle body.2 2

Catalytic Converter


A defective catalytic converter contributesto air pollution, and can impair your

engine’s performance. Follow theseguidelines to protect your scooter’scatalytic converter.

Always use unleaded gasoline. Even asmall amount of leaded gasoline cancontaminate the catalyst metals, makingthe catalytic converter ineffective.

Keep the engine in good runningcondition. A poorly running engine cancause the catalytic converter to overheatcausing damage to the converter or thescooter.

If your engine is misfiring, backfiring,stalling, or otherwise not runningproperly, stop riding and turn off theengine. Have your scooter serviced assoon as possible.

This scooter is equipped with a three-waycatalytic converter.The catalytic converter contains preciousmetals that serve as catalysts, promotingchemical reactions to convert the exhaustgasses without affecting the metals.

The catalytic converter acts on HC, CO,and NOx. A replacement unit must be anoriginal Honda part or its equivalent.

The catalytic converter must operate at ahigh temperature for the chemicalreactions to take place. It can set fire toany combustible materials that come nearit. Park your scooter away from highgrasses, dry leaves, or other flammables.

Oxygenated Fuels


If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it isunleaded and meets the minimum octanerating requirement.Before using an oxygenated fuel, try toconfirm the fuel’s contents. Some states/provinces require this information to beposted on the pump.

The following are the EPA-approvedpercentages of oxygenates:

ETHANOL (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10%by Volume

You may use gasoline containing up to10% ethanol by volume. Gasolinecontaining ethanol may be marketedunder the name ‘‘Gasohol’’.

MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) 15%by Volume

You may use gasoline containing up to15% MTBE by volume.

Some conventional gasolines are beingblended with alcohol or an ethercompound. These gasolines arecollectively referred to as oxygenatedfuels. To meet clean air standards, someareas of the United States use oxygenatedfuels to help reduce emissions.

０９／０４／０２　１０：３９：１１　３１ＧＦＭ６００　０１９９　

191

Oxygenated Fuels


Oxygenated f uels can damage paint andplastic. Damage caused by spilled f uel isnot covered by warranty.

Fuel system damage or performanceproblems resulting from the use of anoxygenated fuel containing more than thepercentages of oxygenates mentionedabove are not covered under warranty.

Oxygenated fuels can damage paint andplastic. Be careful not to spill fuel whenfilling the fuel tank. Wipe up any spillsimmediately.

If you notice any undesirable operatingsymptoms, try another service station orswitch to another brand of gasoline.

METHANOL (methyl or wood alcohol)5% by Volume

You may use gasoline containingmethanol containing up to 5% methanolby volume as long as it also containscosolvents and corrosion inhibitors toprotect the fuel system. Gasolinecontaining more than 5% methanol byvolume may cause starting and/orperformance problems. It may alsodamage metal, rubber, and plastic partsof your fuel system.
