Ride DefensivelyAlways pay attention to other vehicles aroundyou, and do not assume that other drivers seeyou. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform anevasive maneuver.

Make Yourself Easy to SeeMake yourself more visible, especially at night,by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioningyourself so other drivers can see you, signalingbefore turning or changing lanes, and usingyour horn when necessary.

Ride within Your LimitsNever ride beyond your personal abilities orfaster than conditions warrant. Fatigue andinattention can impair your ability to use goodjudgment and ride safely.

Don't Drink or Use Drugs and RideAlcohol or drugs and riding don't mix. Even onealcoholic drink can reduce your ability to

respond to changing conditions, and yourreaction time gets worse with every additionaldrink. The same is true for drug use. Don't drinkor use and ride, and don't let your friends do iteither.

Keep Your Honda in Safe ConditionIt's important to keep your vehicle properlymaintained and in safe riding condition.Inspect your vehicle before every ride andperform all recommended maintenance. Neverexceed load limits (2 P. 14), and do not modifyyour vehicle or install accessories that wouldmake your vehicle unsafe (2 P. 13).

If You are Involved in a CrashPersonal safety is your first priority. If you oranyone else has been injured, take time toassess the severity of the injuries and whether itis safe to continue riding. Call for emergencyassistance if needed. Also follow applicable lawsand regulations if another person or vehicle isinvolved in the crash.

Riding PrecautionsBreak-in Period

During the first 300 miles (500 km) of running,follow these guidelines to ensure your vehicle'sfuture reliability and performance.● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid

acceleration.● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.● Ride conservatively.

BrakesObserve the following guidelines:● Avoid excessively hard braking and

downshifting.u Sudden braking can reduce the vehicle's

stability.u Where possible, reduce speed before

turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.

● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.u The tires slip more easily on such

surfaces and braking distances arelonger.

● Avoid continuous braking.u Repeated braking, such as when

descending long, steep slopes canseriously overheat the brakes, reducingtheir effectiveness. Use engine brakingwith intermittent use of the brakes toreduce speed.

● For full braking effectiveness, operate boththe front and rear brakes together.


Riding PrecautionsVehicle Safety

9Continued

# Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) on FrontWheel

This model equipped with an Anti-lock BrakeSystem (ABS) designed to help prevent the frontbrake from locking up during hard braking.● There is no ABS function to the rear wheel.● ABS does not reduce braking distance. In

certain circumstances, ABS may result in alonger stopping distance.

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

● The brake lever may recoil slightly whenapplying the brakes. This is normal.

● Always use the recommended front/reartires and sprockets to ensure correct ABSoperation.

# Engine BrakingEngine braking helps slow your vehicle downwhen you release the throttle. For furtherslowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Useengine braking with intermittent use of thebrakes to reduce speed when descending long,steep slopes.

# Wet or Rainy ConditionsRoad surfaces are slippery when wet, and wetbrakes further reduce braking efficiency.Exercise extra caution when braking in wetconditions.If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes whileriding at low speed to help them dry.


Riding Precautions

Vehicle Safety

Parking● Park on a firm, level surface.● If you must park on a slight incline or loose

surface, park so that the vehicle cannotmove or fall over.

● Make sure that high-temperature partscannot come into contact with flammablematerials.

● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakesand other high-temperature parts until theycool down.

● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lockthe handlebar and remove the key whenleaving the vehicle unattended.Use of an anti-theft device is alsorecommended.

# Parking with the Side Stand or CenterStand

1. Stop the engine.2. Using the side stand

Push the side stand down.Slowly lean the vehicle to the left until itsweight rests on the side stand.

Caring for Your VehicleFrequent cleaning and polishing is important toensure the life of your Honda. A clean vehiclemakes it easier to spot potential problems.In particular, seawater and salts used to preventice on roads promote the formation ofcorrosion. Always wash your vehicle thoroughlyafter riding on coastal or treated roads.

WashingAllow the engine, muffler, brakes, and otherhigh-temperature parts to cool before washing.1. Rinse your vehicle thoroughly using a low

pressure 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 headlight lens, panels, and

other plastic components with extra careto avoid scratching them.Avoid directing water into the air cleaner,muffler, and electrical parts.

3. Thoroughly rinse your vehicle with plenty ofclean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.

4. After the vehicle dries, lubricate any movingparts.u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto

the brakes or tires. Brake discs, pads,drum or shoes contaminated with oil willsuffer greatly reduced brakingeffectiveness and can lead to a crash.

5. Lubricate the drive chain immediately afterwashing and drying the vehicle.

6. Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.u Avoid products that contain harsh

detergents or chemical solvents. Thesecan damage the metal, paint, and plasticon your vehicle.Keep the wax clear of the tires and brakes.

u If your vehicle has any matte paintedparts, do not apply a coat of wax to thematte painted surface.

# PGM-FI SystemThe PGM-FI (programmed fuel injection) systemuses sequential multiport fuel injection, and iscomprised of air intake, engine control, fuelcontrol, and exhaust control subsystems. Theengine control module (ECM) uses sensors todetermine how much air enters the engine, andthen controls how much fuel to inject.

# Ignition Timing Control SystemThe ignition timing control system adjusts theignition timing to reduce the amount of HC,CO, and NOx produced.

# Catalytic ConvertersThe exhaust system contains one or morecatalytic converters. Catalytic converters use acatalyst to convert most of the harmful exhaustgas compounds into harmless compounds.

Evaporative Emission Control System50 STATE (meets California)An evaporative emissions control system uses acanister filled with charcoal to adsorb fuel vaporfrom the fuel tank while the engine is off. Thevapor is drawn into the engine and burnedwhile riding.

Crankcase Emissions Control SystemThe engine is equipped with a closed crankcasesystem to prevent discharging crankcaseemissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas isreturned to the combustion chamber throughthe crankcase breather hose, air cleanerhousing and throttle body.

Fuel Permeation Emission ControlThe fuel tank, fuel hoses, and fuel vapor chargehoses use fuel permeation control technologiesto prevent fuel vapor emissions. Tampering withthese components to reduce or defeat theeffectiveness of the fuel permeationtechnologies is prohibited.

# TAMPERING WITH THE NOISE CONTROLSYSTEM IS PROHIBITED:

U. S. federal law prohibits the following acts orthe causing thereof: (1) The removal orrendering inoperative by any person, other thanfor purposes of maintenance, repair orreplacement, of any device or element ofdesign incorporated into any new vehicle forthe purpose of noise control prior to its sale ordelivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it isin use; or (2) the use of the vehicle after suchdevice or element of design has been removedor rendered inoperative by any person.

Catalytic ConverterThis vehicle is equipped with two three-waycatalytic converters. Each catalytic convertercontains precious metals that serve as catalystsin high temperature chemical reactions thatconvert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide(CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in theexhaust gasses into safe compounds.

A defective catalytic converter contributes to airpollution and can impair your engine'sperformance. A replacement unit must be anoriginal Honda part or equivalent.

Follow these guidelines to protect your vehicle'scatalytic converters.● Always use unleaded gasoline. Leaded

gasoline will damage the catalyticconverters.

● Keep the engine in good running condition.A poorly running engine can cause thecatalytic converter to overheat causingdamage to the converter or the vehicle.

● If your engine is misfiring, backfiring, stalling,or otherwise not running properly, stopriding and turn off the engine. Have yourvehicle serviced as soon as possible.
