Make Yourself Easy to See

You andYour Motorcycle Riding Tips,

Always pay attention to other vehiclesaround you, and do not assume that otherdrivers see you. Be prepared to stopquickly or make an evasive maneuver. Forother riding tips, see the booklet,

which camewith your new motorcycle (USA only).

Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,take time to become familiar with howthis motorcycle works and handles.Practice in a safe area until you build yourskills and get accustomed to themotorcycle’s size and weight.

Because many crashes involveinexperienced or untrained riders, we urgeall riders to take a motorcycle operatorcourse approved by the Motorcycle SafetyFoundation (MSF). See page .

The most frequent motorcycle collisionhappens when a car turns left in front of amotorcycle. Another common situation isa car moving suddenly into your lane.

Some drivers do not see motorcyclesbecause they are not looking for them. Tomake yourself more visible, wear brightreflective clothing, position yourself soother drivers can see you, signal beforeturning or changing lanes, and use yourhorn when it will help others notice you.

Preparation

Starting & Stopping the Engine


Always follow the proper startingprocedure described below.

For your safety, avoid starting or operatingthe engine in an enclosed area such as agarage. Your motorcycle’s exhaustcontains poisonous carbon monoxide gaswhich can collect rapidly in an enclosedarea and cause illness or death.

Your motorcycle can be started with thetransmission in gear by pulling in theclutch lever before operating the starter.

Your motorcycle is equipped with a sidestand ignition cut-off system. If the sidestand is down –– the engine cannot bestarted unless the transmission is in neutral.If the side stand is up –– the engine can bestarted in neutral, or in gear with the

clutch lever pulled in. After starting withthe side stand down, the engine will stop ifthe transmission is put in gear beforeraising the side stand.

Before starting, insert the key, turn theignition switch ON, and confirm thefollowing:

The transmission is in neutral (neutralindicator is ON).The engine stop switch is set to RUN.The low oil pressure indicator is ON.The PGM-FI malfunction indicatorlamp (MIL) is OFF.The high coolant temperatureindicator is OFF.

Shifting Gears


Learning when to shift gears comes withexperience. Keep the following tips inmind:

Close the throttle and pull the clutchlever in completely before shifting.Improper shifting may damage theengine, transmission, and drive train.Learn to recognize the engagementpoint as you release the clutch lever. Itis at this point the transmission ofpower to the rear wheel resumes.Upshift to a higher gear or reducethrottle before engine rpm (speed) getstoo high. Learn the relationship betweenengine sound and the normal shiftingpoints.

As a general rule, shift while moving ina straight line.

Downshift to a lower gear before youfeel the engine laboring (lugging) atlow rpm.

Your motorcycle has six forward gears ina one-down, five-up shift pattern which iscoordinated with a cable-operated clutchsystem.

(cont’d)

０９／０９／１７　１１：１４：１８　３１ＭＦＪ６３０　００６６　

58

Shifting Gears


Shif ting Up:

Shif ting Down:

Avoid downshifting to help slow yourmotorcycle when engine rpm is near itsallowable maximum (near thetachometer red zone). In this situation,the rev limiter in the engine ignitioncontrol module may not preventexcessive engine speed which coulddamage the engine.To prevent transmission damage, do notcoast or tow the motorcycle for longdistances with the engine off.

Recommended Shift PointsRide in the highest gear that lets theengine run and accelerate smoothly. Thiswill give you good fuel economy andeffective emissions control. Whenchanging gears under normal conditions,use these recommended shift points:

From 1st to 2nd:From 2nd to 3rd:From 3rd to 4th:From 4th to 5th:From 5th to 6th:

12 mph (20 km/h)19 mph (30 km/h)25 mph (40 km/h)31 mph (50 km/h)37 mph (60 km/h)

From 6th to 5th:From 5th to 4th:From 4th to 3rd:

28 mph (45 km/h)22 mph (35 km/h)16 mph (25 km/h)

Pull the clutch lever in when speed dropsbelow 12 mph (20 km/h), when engineroughness is evident, or when enginestalling is imminent; and shift down to 1stgear for acceleration.

０９／０９／１７　１１：１４：２８　３１ＭＦＪ６３０　００６７　

59

Braking


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

For full braking effectiveness, use boththe lever and pedal simultaneously. Usingboth braking systems will stop yourmotorcycle faster with greater stability.

Your motorcycle is equipped with discbraking systems which are hydraulicallyactivated. Operating the brake leverapplies the two front disc brakes.Depressing the brake pedal applies the reardisc brake.

０９／０９／１７　１１：１４：３３　３１ＭＦＪ６３０　００６８　

60

Braking


To slow or stop, apply the brake lever andbrake pedal smoothly, while downshiftingto match your speed.

Gradually increase braking as you feel thebrakes slowing your speed. The increasein engine compression from downshiftingwill help slow your motorcycle.

To prevent stalling the engine, pull theclutch lever in before coming to acomplete stop. For support, put your leftfoot down first, then your right foot whenyou have finished braking.

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

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 motorcycle.

０９／０９／１７　１１：１４：３９　３１ＭＦＪ６３０　００６９　

61

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 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,use engine compression braking bydownshifting, with intermittent use ofboth brakes. Continuous brakeapplication can overheat the brakes andreduce their effectiveness.

Riding with your foot resting on thebrake pedal or your hand on the brakelever may actuate the brakelight, givinga false indication to other drivers. Itmay also overheat the brakes, reducingeffectiveness.

Combined ABS


Braking

This model is equipped with CombinedABS (Combined Anti-lock Brake System).When the ignition switch is turned ON, thesystem performs a self-analysis and whenthe vehicle speed reaches 6 mph (10 km/h)the system starts to operate and remains onwhile riding. Combined ABS is self-checking.

Combined ABS is an electricallyintegrated system consisting of theCombined Brake System and Anti-lockBrake System. Combined ABS controlsbraking force by accurately monitoring theamount of force applied to the brakes andwheel speed. It balances the front-to-rear

braking distribution, and has an anti-lockfunction designed to help prevent wheellock up during hard braking. Moreover,Combined ABS helps provide more ridingstability when braking hard and suddenly.Although the wheel may not lock up, ifyou are braking too hard in a turn, themotorcycle can still lose traction causing aloss of control. In general, you’ll achievethe best results by braking while runningin a straight line.

Even if the front brake lever and the rearbrake pedal are operated independently,the brake force is distributed appropriatelyto the front and the rear. However, for fullbraking effectiveness, use both the leverand pedal simultaneously, as you wouldwith a conventional motorcycle brakingsystem.

(CBR600RR ABS)

０９／０９／１７　１１：１４：５０　３１ＭＦＪ６３０　００７１　

63

Braking


In some situations, a motorcycle withCombined ABS may require a longerstopping distance to stop on loose oruneven surfaces than an equivalentmotorcycle without Combined ABS.

Combined ABS cannot make up for roadconditions, bad judgment, or improperoperation of the brakes, and cannot stoprear wheel lift completely. It is still yourresponsibility to ride at reasonable speedsfor weather, road surface, and trafficconditions, and to leave a margin of safety.

The anti-lock brake function of theCombined ABS may be activated byriding over a sharp drop or rise in theroad level while operating the brake.It is important to follow the tirerecommendations (page ). TheCombined ABS computer works bycomparing wheel speed. Non-recommended tires can affect wheelspeed and may confuse the CombinedABS computer.Combined ABS does not function atlow speeds (approximately 4 mph (6km/h) or below).Combined ABS does not function if thebattery is discharged.Combined ABS does not function if theABS main or the ABS motor fuses areblown.

Combined ABS Indicator


Braking

When Combined ABS does notfunction, the brakes work like aconventional braking system. Onconventional braking systems, operatingthe front brake lever applies the frontbrake and operating the rear pedalapplies the rear brake.

You may feel a change in the way thebrake lever/pedal reacts when it isoperated under the following conditions:

Immediately after turning the ignitionswitch ONAfter braking to a stop

Normally, this indicator comes on whenthe ignition is turned ON, and goes offafter you ride the motorcycle at a speedabove 6 mph (10 km/h). If there is aproblem with Combined ABS, theindicator lights or flashes and remains on.Combined ABS does not operate when theCombined ABS indicator is on.

(CBR600RR ABS)

０９／０９／１７　１１：１５：０３　３１ＭＦＪ６３０　００７３　

65

Braking


If the Combined ABS indicator lights orflashes and remains on while riding, stopthe motorcycle in a safe place and turn offthe engine.Turn the ignition ON again. The indicatorshould come on, and go off after you ridethe motorcycle at a speeds above 6 mph(10 km/h). If it does not go off, CombinedABS is not functioning, but the brakes stillprovide normal stopping ability like aconventional braking system. However,you should have the system checked byyour Honda dealer as soon as possible.

The Combined ABS indicator may flashif:

The front wheel leaves the ground for 1second or more.Either brake is applied continuouslyfrom 0 mph (0 km/h) to 31 mph (50km/h).You turn the rear wheel while themotorcycle is uplight on the stand.

This is normal but the Combined ABS isnot in operation. To activate the systemagain, turn the ignition OFF, then ONagain.

Parking


Catalytic Converter

Look for a level parking area. If youcan’t park on a paved surface, makesure the ground surface is firm,especially under the side stand.If you must park on a hill, leave thetransmission in gear and position therear tire against the curb at a 45 degreeangle.

To lower the side stand, use your footto guide it down. Remember thatlowering the side stand with thetransmission in gear will stop theengine, even if the clutch lever ispulled in. That is a function of theside stand ignition cut-off system.

Use the side stand to support themotorcycle while parked.

Check that the side stand is down allthe way so that the side stand ignitioncut-off system (page ) is activated.If you have to park on a soft surface,insert something solid under the sidestand for support.

Make sure flammable materials such asdry grass or leaves do not come incontact with the exhaust system whenparking your motorcycle. Refer to

, page .

To avoid possible heat damage to yourmotorcycle or personal belongings, do notcover the exhaust muffler with aprotective cover or any clothing within 20minutes after shutting off the engine.

Theft-prevention Tips

Parking


Park your motorcycle in a lockedgarage whenever possible. If a garageisn’t available, park in a concealed areaor in a well-lit area with enoughpedestrian traffic to discourage a thief.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 motorcycle to a waiting truck.In addition to the steering lock, use agood quality anti-theft device madespecifically to lock a motorcycle to asecure object.If you decide to use an anti-theft device,select one of good quality and be sure tofollow the manufacturer’s instructions.

The rear fender has a storagecompartment to store a U-shaped lockunder the rear seat. Some U-shapedlocks may not be stored in thecompartment due to their size or design.

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

Important Safety Precautions

Maintenance Safety


Carbon monoxide poisoning fromengine exhaust.

Burns from hot motorcycle 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.

Letthe engine and exhaust system coolbefore touching.

Do not runthe engine unless instructed to do so.

To help prevent the motorcycle fromfalling over, park it on a firm, levelsurface, using the side stand or amaintenance stand to provide support.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.

Fuel Recommendation

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.

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.

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.

Your engine is designed to use anyunleaded premium gasoline that has apump octane number of 91 or higher.Gasoline pumps at service stationsnormally display the pump octane number.For information on the use of oxygenatedfuels, see page .

Engine Oil & Filter


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.

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.

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

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

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

The factory provides a 50/50 solution ofantifreeze and water in this motorcycle.This coolant solution is recommended formost operating temperatures and providesgood corrosion protection.

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

Checking & Adding Coolant

Coolant



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.

Coolant Replacement

Coolant



Coolant should be replaced by your Hondadealer, unless you have the proper toolsand service data and are mechanicallyqualified. Refer to the official HondaService Manual (page ).

Remove the reserve tank cap ( ).Always add coolant to the reserve tank.Do not attempt to add coolant byremoving the radiator cap.Add coolant to the reserve tank asrequired to bring the coolant level to theUPPER level mark.Install the reserve tank cap.

With the engine at normal operatingtemperature, check the coolant level inthe reserve tank ( ). It should bebetween the UPPER ( ) and LOWER( ) level marks.If the reserve tank is empty, or ifcoolant loss is excessive, check forleaks and see your Honda dealer forrepair.Remove the lower cowl (page ).

Suspension


Your front and rear suspension systemsuse springs, hydraulic damping devices,and linkages (rear only) that suspend yourweight and most of the weight of yourmotorcycle.

The spring pre-loads for your front andrear suspension systems adjust the amountof force required to begin compression ofthe spring.

Consider adjusting your suspensionwhenever you change your normal load,by adding or subtracting a passenger,cargo, or accessories, or when the road orriding conditions change.

The oil damper systems hydraulicallycontrol the natural compression andrebound of the suspension springs so thattraction and comfort are maintained as thewheels ride over road surfaces.

The way you ride your motorcycle and thetype of ride you want to experience canalso influence your suspension needs.

You may adjust the spring pre-load andthe rebound and compression damping ofboth suspension systems.

Saf ety Precautions

The hydraulic braking systems on yourmotorcycle dissipate the heat generated bythe friction of the brake pads on the brakediscs as the wheels are slowed.

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

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

If the brake lever or brake pedal freeplaydoes not feel within the normal rangewhile riding, check the brake pads forwear (page ). Worn pads should bereplaced. If the pads are not worn beyondthe recommended limit, there is probably

air in the brake system. See your Hondadealer to have the air bled from the system.

Tires


Saf ety Precautions

To safely operate your motorcycle, yourtires must be the proper type and size, ingood condition 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.

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 motorcycle ride harshly, are moreprone to damage from road hazards, andwear unevenly.

Refer to on page .

Make sure the valve stem caps are secure.If necessary, install new caps.

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.

Always check air pressure when your tiresare ‘‘cold’’, after the motorcycle has beenparked for at least three hours. If youcheck air pressure when your tires are

‘‘warm’’ –– even if your motorcycle hasonly been ridden for a few miles –– thereadings will be higher. If you let air outof warm tires to match the recommendedcold pressures, the tires will beunderinflated.

Drive Chain


An endless (riveted master link) chainconnects the countershaft and rear wheelsprockets. The O-ring chain uses rubberrings between the side plates of the pinand roller links to seal in themanufacturer-installed lubricating greaseand keep out moisture and dirt.

Under severe usage, or when themotorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty ormuddy areas, more frequent maintenancewill be necessary.

The service life of the chain depends onproper lubrication and adjustment. Poormaintenance can cause premature wear ordamage to the drive chain or sprockets.

The drive chain should be checked,adjusted, and lubricated as part of the pre-ride inspection (page ).

Before servicing your drive chain, turn theengine OFF, lower the side stand, andcheck that your transmission is in neutral.

It is not necessary to remove or replace thedrive chain to perform the recommendedservice in the Maintenance Schedule.

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 theside 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 Motorcycle 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 yourmotorcycle transported to a Honda dealer

or other qualified service facility. Evenwith a simple puncture, this may be thesafest and 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.

179

０９／０９／１７　１１：３３：００　３１ＭＦＪ６３０　０１９７　

Riding your motorcycle 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.

189

Types of Temporary Repairs



Due to the uncertainty of any temporaryrepair, you should ride slowly (not over30 mph, 50 km/h) and carefully(preferably without a passenger or cargo)until the tire is replaced or permanently

repaired. Stop frequently and check the airpressure. If the tire is losing pressure, itmay be unsafe to continue riding. As thetire gets low, it will affect the handling ofyour motorcycle (especially with apassenger and cargo), and it may overheatand 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 .150

If Your Engine Overheats


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

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.

Normally, the coolant temperature on yourtemperature meter will rise and then leveloff. Hot weather may cause thetemperature to rise higher than normal. Sowill temporary stress such as climbing ahill. If you’re stuck in stop-and-go traffic,the temperature may climb some, but theradiator fan is designed to preventoverheating. Be aware of these variationsas you monitor the meter.

If there’s no obvious problem, leave theengine on so the fan and coolantcirculating system can continueworking. Monitor the temperature meter.The temperature may drop to thenormal range after a brief stop with noload on the engine.

If the coolant temperature display beginsto flash and the high coolant temperatureindicator comes on for no apparent reason,pull safely to the side of the road. Ifpossible, park in a shady area.

０９／０９／１７　１１：３４：５４　３１ＭＦＪ６３０　０２１１　

203

If Your Engine Overheats


If the reserve tank is low or empty, don’tride without adding coolant (page ).After adding coolant, turn the engine onand check the temperature meter.If the temperature doesn’t drop, do not

ride. The engine needs repair. Transportyour motorcycle to a Honda dealer(page ).If the temperature drops to normal,check the coolant level. If it has gonedown, add more coolant.

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

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

Check the radiator fan.If the fan is not working, turn theengine off. Open the fuse box(page ) and check the radiator fanfuse. If the fuse is blown, replace itwith the proper (same rating) spare fuse.Start the engine. If the coolanttemperature display flashes and the highcoolant temperature indicator comes on,turn the engine off.If the radiator fan is working, visuallycheck the coolant level in the reservetank, located behind the lower cowl(page ). It isn’t necessary to touchthe radiator system.

If the Low Oil Pressure Indicator Lights


Continuing to ride with low oil pressurecan cause serious engine damage.

If you check your engine oil levelregularly, you should never see the low oilpressure indicator while riding. Normally,it will only light momentarily when youturn the ignition switch ON. Occasionally,it may flicker at or near idling speed.

Low oil pressure may be caused by an oilleak, a low oil level, or some problem inthe engine’s lubrication system.

If the indicator comes on while you’reriding, don’t ignore it. Pull safely to theside of the road. If possible, pull the clutchlever in and coast to a stop. Stop theengine as soon as it’s safe to do so.

Check for an oil leak.Then check the oil level. If necessary,add the recommended oil (page ) tothe upper level mark. If you must leaveyour motorcycle to get oil, secure it asmuch as possible.After adding oil, start the engine, andcheck that the low oil pressure indicatorgoes off. Check for a possible leak.

If the indicator goes off and there is noleak –– resume riding. If there is a leak ––do not ride the motorcycle until the leak isrepaired by a Honda dealer.

All of the electrical circuits on yourmotorcycle have fuses to protect themfrom damage caused by excess currentflow (short circuit or overload).

If something electrical on your motorcyclestops 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.

Main fuse (and spare) are located on thestarter motor magnetic switch under thefront seat.The circuit fuse box (including sparefuses) is located under the front seat.

If You Crash


Transporting Your Motorcycle,

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 motorcyclethoroughly checked at a qualified servicefacility as soon as possible. Also, be sureto have your Honda dealer check theframe and suspension after any seriouscrash.

If your motorcycle cannot be ridden, seepage .

If you decide that you are capable ofriding safely, first evaluate the conditionof your motorcycle. 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.

Warranty Compliance

Source of Exhaust EmissionsNoise Emission Requirements

Compliance with the terms of theDistributor’s Warranties for HondaMotorcycle Emission Control Systems isnecessary in order to keep the emissionssystem warranty in effect. (USA only)

The 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 carbon monoxide,oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.

The EPA also requires that motorcyclesbuilt after January 1, 1983 comply withapplicable noise emission standards forone year or 3,730 miles (6,000 km) afterthe time of sale to the ultimate purchaser,when operated and maintained accordingto the instructions provided.

Ignition Timing Control System

PGM-FI SystemExhaust Emission Control System

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

The PGM-FI system uses dual sequentialfuel injection. It has four subsystems: AirIntake, Engine Control, Fuel Control, andExhaust Control.The Engine Control Module (ECM) usesvarious sensors to determine how much airis going into the engine. It then controlshow much fuel to inject under alloperating conditions.

The exhaust emission control systemincludes an oxidation catalyst, a secondaryair supply system, and a PGM-FI system.

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

Secondary Air Injection System Evaporative Emission Control System(California only)



Oxidation Catalytic Converter

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

The oxidation catalytic converter is in theexhaust system. Through chemicalreactions, they convert HC and CO in theengine’s exhaust to carbon dioxide (CO )and water vapor.

This motorcycle 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 isabsorbed 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.

Catalytic Converter


This motorcycle is equipped with anoxidation catalytic 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 andCO. 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 motorcycle away from highgrasses, dry leaves, or other flammables.

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

engine’s performance. Follow theseguidelines to protect your motorcycle’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 themotorcycle.

If your engine is misfiring, backfiring,stalling, or otherwise not runningproperly, stop riding and turn off theengine. Have your motorcycle servicedas soon as possible.
