Servicing Your Honda
Fuel System
Refer to Safety Precautions on page19.
Use only unleaded fuel in your Honda. If you ride
your Honda in a country where leaded fuel might
be available, take precautions to use only unleaded
fuel.
Your engine is designed to use any unleaded
gasoline that has a pump octane number of 91 or
higher. Gasoline pumps at service stations
normally display the pump octane number. For
information on the use of oxygenated fuels, see
page 140.
Use of lower octane gasoline can cause persistent
“pinging” or “spark knock” (a louder rapping
noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine damage.
(Light pinging experienced while operating under
a heavy load, such as climbing a hill, is no cause
for concern.)
If pinging or spark knock occurs at a steady engine
speed under normal load, change brands of
gasoline. If pinging or spark knock persists,
consult your dealer.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline. Avoid
getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.
Fuel Tank Capacity: 1.14 US gal (4.3 ℓ)

There should be no fuel in the filler neck.
3. Close the fuel fill cap and insert the breather
tube in the steering stem nut.
1. Check for leaks.
2. Check the fuel line (1) for cracks,
