A Few Words About Safety
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very
important. Operating this vehicle safely is an
important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about
safety, we have provided operating procedures
and other information on safety labels, in this
owner's manual and competition handbook.
This information alerts you to potential hazards
that could hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to
warn you about all hazards associated with
operating or maintaining a vehicle. You must
use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in a
variety of forms, including:
● Safety labels on the vehicle
●
Safety Messages preceded by a safety alert
symbol and one of three signal words:
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:
3DANGER
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY
HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
3WARNING
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY
HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
3CAUTION
You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow
instructions.
Other important information is
provided under the following titles:

Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety:
● Perform all routine and regular inspections
specified in this owner's manual and
competition handbook.
● 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 helmet and protective
apparel. 2 P. 8
Before Riding
Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally
focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check
that you are wearing an approved helmet and
protective apparel.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Developing off-road riding skill is a gradual
step-by step process. Start by practicing at low
speeds in a safe area and slowly build your
skills.
Ask your dealer if there are off-road riding
groups in your area where you can learn from
experienced riders. Also be sure to read Tips &
Practice Guide for the Off-Highway Motorcyclist
that came with your new vehicle.
Be Alert for Off-road Hazards
The terrain can be present a variety of
challenges when you ride off-road.
Safety Guidelines
Vehicle Safety
3
Continued
Continually “read” the terrain for unexpected
turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts and other hazards.
Always keep your speed low enough to allow
time to see and react to hazards.
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
judgment and ride safely.
Never Carry a Passenger
There are no handholds, seat, or footrests to
carry a passenger.
Don't Drink or Use Drugs and Ride
Alcohol or drugs 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. The same is true for drug use. Don't drink
or use and ride, and don't let your friends do it
either.
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It's important to keep your vehicle properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially
if you are stranded off-road far from your base.
Inspect your vehicle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Follow
the loading guidelines (2 P. 13), and do not
modify your vehicle or install accessories that
would make your vehicle unsafe (2 P. 12).

If You are Involved in a Crash
Personal safety is your first priority after a crash.
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. If you
cannot ride safely, send someone for help. Do
not ride if you will risk further injury.
If you decide that you are capable of riding
safely, first evaluate the condition of your
vehicle. If the engine is still running, turn it off
and look it over carefully; inspect it for fluid
leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and
bolts, and secure such parts as the handlebar,
control levers, brakes, and wheels.
If there is minor damage, or you are unsure
about possible damage but decide to try riding
the vehicle back to your base, ride slowly and
cautiously.
Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Battery
If you smell an unusual odor coming from the
lithium-ion (li-ion) battery, park your vehicle in a
safe place outside and away from flammable
objects, then stop the engine. Have your vehicle
inspected by your dealer immediately.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a
colorless, 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 vehicle inside a garage or other
enclosure.
3WARNING
Running the engine of your vehicle
while in an enclosed or even partially
enclosed area can cause a rapid build-
up of toxic carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas
can quickly cause unconsciousness and
lead to death.
Only run your vehicle's engine when it
is located in a well ventilated area
outdoors.

Safety Precautions
Protective Apparel
Make sure that you are wearing an approved
helmet, eye protection, and other appropriate
riding gear.
#
Helmet
Should be safety-standard certified, high-
visibility, and correct size for your head
● Must fit comfortably but securely, with the
chin strap fastened.
● Approved eye protection
● Face shield with unobstructed field of vision
or other approved eye protection
Look for a DOT (Department of Transportation)
certification label on any helmet you buy.
3WARNING
Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a
crash.
Make sure that you always wear an
approved helmet ,eye protection, and
protective apparel.
#
Protective Gear
We recommend that you wear sturdy boots,
gloves, and other protective gear. The exhaust
system becomes very hot during operation, and
it remains hot after operation. Never touch any
part of the hot exhaust system. Wear clothing
that fully covers your legs.
Do not wear loose clothing which could catch
on the control levers, kickstarter, footpegs, drive
chain, or wheels.

Riding Precautions
Break-in Period
During the first operating day or 15 miles (25
km) of running, follow these guidelines to
ensure your vehicle's future reliability and
performance.
● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
● Ride conservatively.
This same procedure should be followed each
time when:
● Piston is replaced
● Piston rings are replaced
● Cylinder is replaced
● Crankshaft or crank bearings are replaced
Brakes
To slow or stop, apply the front brake lever and
rear brake pedal smoothly, while downshifting
to match your speed. Gradually increase
braking as you feel the brakes slowing your
speed. To prevent stalling the engine, pull the
clutch lever in before coming to a complete
stop. For support, put your left foot down first,
then your right foot when you are through
using the rear brake pedal.
For maximum braking, close the throttle and
firmly apply the front brake lever and rear brake
pedal controls.
Applying the brakes too hard may cause the
wheels to lock and slide, reducing control of
your vehicle. If this happens, release the brake
controls, steer straight ahead until you regain
control, then reapply the brakes more gently.
Riding Precautions
Vehicle Safety
9
Continued
Generally, reduce your speed or complete
braking before beginning a turn. Avoid braking
or closing the throttle quickly while turning.
Either action may cause one or both wheels to
slip. Any wheel slip will reduce your control of
your vehicle.
When riding in wet or raining conditions, or on
loose surfaces, the ability to maneuver and stop
will be reduced. All of your actions should be
smooth under these conditions. Rapid
acceleration, braking, or turning may cause loss
of control. For your safety, exercise extreme
caution when braking, accelerating, or turning.
When descending a long, steep grade, use
engine compression braking by downshifting,
with intermittent use of both brakes.
When you brake to a stop, pull the clutch lever
in before stopping completely to prevent
stalling the engine. For support, put your left
foot on the ground first, then your right foot
when you have finished braking.
Parking
● Park on a firm, level surface.
● If you must park on a slight incline or loose
surface, park so that the vehicle 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.
#
Parking with the Side Stand
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Push the side stand down.
3.
Slowly lean the vehicle to the left until its
weight rests on the side stand.
Riding Precautions
Vehicle Safety
10
4.

u Turning the handlebar to the right
reduces stability and may cause the
vehicle to fall.
Post-ride Inspection
When you return home after riding, thoroughly
clean your vehicle and remove any dirt, mud,
brush, rocks or other objects you may have
picked up along the way.
After cleaning, carefully inspect your vehicle for
leaks or damage.
Be sure to lubricate the drive chain to prevent
rusting.
Refueling and Fuel Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to protect the engine
and fuel system:
● Use only unleaded gasoline.
● Use recommended octane number. Using
lower octane gasoline will result in
decreased engine performance.
● Do not use fuels containing a high
concentration of alcohol. 2 P. 91
● Do not use stale or contaminated gasoline
or an oil/gasoline mixture.
● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Maintenance Fundamentals
Pre-ride Inspection
To ensure safety, it is your responsibility to
perform a pre-ride inspection and make sure
that any problem you find is corrected. A pre-
ride inspection is a must, not only for safety, but
because having a breakdown, or even a flat tire,
can be a major inconvenience.
Refer to Competition Handbook for procedures.
Check the following before each ride:
● Engine oil level.
● Fuel line for condition.
● Coolant for proper level.
● Cooling system and hoses for condition.
● Spark plug for proper heat range, carbon
fouling and spark plug wire terminal for
looseness.
● Air cleaner for condition and contamination.
● Clutch lever freeplay.
● Breather drain for cleaning.
● Steering head bearing and related parts for
condition.
● Throttle operation.
● Tires for damage or improper inflation
pressure.
● Spokes for looseness.
● Rim locks for looseness.
● Front and rear suspension for proper
operation.
● Front and rear brakes, check operation.
● Drive chain for correct slack and adequate
lubrication.
● Drive chain sliders and drive chain rollers for
damage or wear.
● Exhaust pipe/Muffler for looseness.
● Every possible part for looseness (such as
cylinder head bolts, engine mounting bolts/
nuts, axle nuts, handlebar holder bolts, fork
bridge pinch bolts, drive chain adjuster, lock
nuts, drive chain roller bolt/nut, wire harness
connectors).
● PGM-FI malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
operation.

Between Motos & Practice
Maintenance
After practice or between motos you have a
chance to make additional checks and
adjustments.
• Clean accumulated dirt from under the
fenders and off the wheels, suspension
components, handgrips, controls, and
footpegs. A stiff, nylon parts cleaning brush
works well.
• Check tire air pressure.
• Check spoke tension, and make sure the rim
locks are secure.
• Check to make sure the sprocket bolts and
nuts are secure.
• Clean the sides of the drive chain with a stiff,
nylon parts-cleaning brush. Lubricate and
adjust the chain as necessary.
Do not perform maintenance while engine is
running. Injury to your fingers or hands may
result.
Maintenance Fundamentals
Maintenance

• After adjustment, check that the chain
adjuster index marks are in the same
position on each side. This will ensure that
the rear wheel is in proper alignment and
allow maximum performance from the rear
disc brake.
Maintaining proper wheel alignment will also
extend brake pad lifespan.
• Suspend the front wheel above the ground
and use the pressure release screws to
release the built-up pressure in the forks.
This pressure is caused by normal fork
action while riding.

After Competition Maintenance
It is important to the long term performance of
your vehicle to practice a consistent
maintenance program. Right after the event is a
good time to begin your next maintenance
cycle.
#
After Moto Lubrication
Apply a light coating of rust-inhibiting oil to the
drive sprocket and any steel portions of the
chassis or engine where the paint has worn
away.
This will prevent rusting of the exposed metal.
Apply rust-inhibiting oil more heavily if the
event was particularly wet or muddy. Take care
to avoid spraying any oil near the brake pads or
the brake discs.
Take care to prevent catching your fingers
between the chain and sprocket.
Remove the drive chain, clean and lubricate it.
Be sure the chain is wiped clean and is dry
before lubricating the chain.
#
Routine Cleaning
If your vehicle is only slightly dirty, it is best to
clean it by hand with the aid of a stiff bristled
nylon brush and some clean rags.
Maintenance Fundamentals
Maintenance
51
Continued
Take care to prevent catching your fingers
between the chain and sprocket.
A variety of reasonably priced cleaning brushes
are available from variety, drug, food, and
hardware stores. Some of these brushes are
extremely useful in removing dirt from the many
tight contours of the metal pieces of your
vehicle.
Avoid using stiff, abrasive brushes on the plastic
or rubber parts.
If your vehicle was exposed to sea air or salt
water, rinse it as soon as possible after the
event, dry it, and apply a spray lubricant to all
metal parts.
If you decide to wash your vehicle or use
cleaners, refer to "Caring for Your Vehicle".

particular off-road riding condition, make
changes a little at a time.
#
Inspecting for Damage
Inspect the tires for cuts, slits, or cracks that
exposes fabric or cords, or nails or other foreign
objects embedded in the side of the tire or the
tread. Also inspect for any unusual bumps or
bulges in the side walls of the tires.
#
Inspecting for Abnormal Wear
Inspect the tires for signs of abnormal wear on
the contact surface.
#
Inspecting Rims and Valve Stems
Inspect the rims for damage and loose spokes.
Also inspect the valve stems for their positions.
A tilted valve stem indicates the tube is slipping
inside the tire or the tire is slipping on the rim.
See your dealer.
3WARNING
Riding on tires that are excessively worn
or improperly inflated can cause a crash
in which you can be seriously hurt or
killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's

Follow these guidelines whenever you replace
tires.
● Use the recommended tires or equivalents
of the same size, construction, speed rating,
and load range.
● Remember to replace the inner tube
whenever you replace a tire. The old tube
will probably be stretched, and it could fail if
installed in a new tire.
● If a tube is punctured or damaged, you
should replace it as soon as possible. A
repaired tube may not have the same
reliability as a new one, and it may fail while
you are riding.
Use a replacement tube equivalent to the
original.

● 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 The headlight's inside lens may fog
temporarily after washing or while riding
in the rain. This does not impact the
headlight function.
u Any condensation inside the headlight
should dissipate after a few minutes of
running the engine with the headlight(s)
on.
However, if you see a large amount of
water or ice accumulated inside the
lens(es), have your vehicle inspected by
your dealer.
● Do not use wax or polishing compounds on
matte painted surface:
u Use a soft cloth or sponge, plenty of
water, and a mild detergent to clean
matte painted surfaces. Dry with a soft
clean cloth.

If you use a truck or motorcycle trailer to
transport your vehicle, we recommend that you
follow these guidelines:
● Use a loading ramp.
● Relieve the fuel pressure and drain the fuel
from the fuel tank into an approved gasoline
container.
● Secure the vehicle in an upright position,
using motorcycle tie-down straps. Avoid
using rope, which can loosen and allow the
vehicle to fall over.
To secure your vehicle, brace the front wheel
against the front of the truck bed or trailer rail.
Attach the lower ends of two straps to the
tiedown hooks on truck bed or trailer rail.
Attach the upper ends of the straps to the
handlebar (one on the right side, the other on
the left), close to the fork.
Check that the tie-down straps do not contact
any control cables or electrical wiring.
Tighten both straps until the front suspension is
compressed about half-way. Too much pressure
is unnecessary and could damage the fork seals.
Use another tie-down strap to keep the rear of
the vehicle from moving.

You & the Environment
Owning and riding a vehicle can be enjoyable,
but you must do your part to protect the
environment.
Choose Sensible Cleaners
Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash
your vehicle. 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 center.
Call your local or state office of public works or
environmental services to find a recycling center
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

Emission Control Systems
Your vehicle engine emits combustion
byproducts, including carbon monoxide (CO),
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and hydrocarbons
(HC). Gasoline evaporation also emits
hydrocarbons. Controlling the production of
NOx, CO, and HC is important for the
environment.
Exhaust Emission Requirements
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
require that your vehicle comply with applicable
exhaust, crankcase, and fuel permeation
emission standards during its useful life, when
operated and maintained according to the
instructions provided.
CARB also requires that your vehicle comply
with applicable evaporative emission
requirements during its useful life, when
operated and maintained according to the
instructions provided.
Compliance with the terms of the Distributor's
Warranties for Honda Motorcycle Emission
Control Systems is necessary in order to
maintain a valid emissions system warranty.
The vehicle emission control information label is
attached to the right side of the frame.

information label
Noise Emission Requirements
The EPA also requires that vehicles built after
January 1,1983 comply with applicable noise
emission standards for one year or 1,865 miles
(3,000 km) after the time of sale to the ultimate
purchaser, the time operated and maintained
according to the instructions provided.
Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission control system includes
the following components that should not need
adjustment, although periodic inspection by
your dealer is recommended.
#
PGM-FI System
The PGM-FI system has four subsystems: Air
Intake, Engine Control, Fuel Control, and
Exhaust Control. The Engine Control Module
(ECM) uses various sensors to determine how
much air is going into the engine. It then
controls how much fuel is injected under all
operating conditions.
#
Ignition Timing Control System
The ignition timing control system adjusts the
ignition timing to reduce the amount of HC,
CO, and NOx produced.
#
Secondary Air Injection System
The exhaust emission control system consists of
a secondary air injection system. The secondary
air injection system introduces filtered air into
the exhaust gases in the exhaust port. The
secondary air injection system helps improve
emission control performance. No adjustments
to this system should be made although
periodic inspection of the components is
recommended.
Evaporative Emission Control System
50 STATE (meets California)
An evaporative emissions control system uses a
canister filled with charcoal to adsorb fuel vapor
from the fuel tank while the engine is off. The
vapor is drawn into the engine and burned
while riding.
Emission Control Systems
Information
88
Models sold in and used in California: An add-
on or modified part must be compliant with
applicable ARB evaporative emission control
standards. A violation of this requirement is
punishable by civil and/or criminal punishment.
Crankcase Emissions Control System
The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase
system to prevent discharging crankcase
emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas is
returned to the combustion chamber through
the crankcase oil separator, air cleaner and
throttle body.
Fuel Permeation Emission Control
This vehicle complies with the Fuel Permeation
Emission Control regulations of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
California Air Resources Board (CARB). The fuel
tank, fuel hoses, and fuel vapor charge hoses
used on this vehicle incorporate fuel
permeation control technologies.
Tampering with the fuel tank, fuel hoses, or fuel
vapor charge hoses to reduce or defeat the
effectiveness of the fuel permeation
technologies is prohibited by federal
regulations.
Noise Emission Control System
#
TAMPERING WITH THE NOISE CONTROL
SYSTEM IS PROHIBITED:
U. S. federal law prohibits the following acts or
the causing thereof: (1) The removal or
rendering inoperative by any person, other than
for purposes of maintenance, repair or
replacement, of any device or element of
design incorporated into any new vehicle for
the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or
delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is
in use; or (2) the use of the vehicle after such
device or element of design has been removed
or rendered inoperative by any person.

AMONG THOSE ACTS PRESUMED TO
CONSTITUTE TAMPERING ARE THE
FOLLOWING ACTS:
● Removal of, or puncturing the muffler,
baffles, header pipes or any other
component which conducts exhaust gases.
● Removal of, or puncturing of any part of the
intake system.
● Lack of proper maintenance.
● Removing or disabling any emissions
compliance component, or replacing any
compliance component with a noncompliant
component.
Problems that May Affect Vehicle
Emissions
If you are aware of any of the following
symptoms, have the vehicle inspected and
repaired by your dealer.
1.
Hard starting or stalling after starting.
2.
Rough idle.
3.
Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration.
4.
After-burning (backfiring).
5.
Poor performance (drive ability) and poor
fuel economy.
Federal regulations prohibit removing or
disabling a device or element of design that
may affect your engine’s emission performance
unless your vehicle will be used exclusively in
competition. If you modify your engine for use
in sanctioned competition events, you must
deface or destroy the emission control
information label.
If you loan, sell, or give your competition
modified vehicle to someone else, according to
applicable law, you must inform the new owner/
operator in writing that the vehicle is to be used
for competition only.

Oxygenated Fuels
Some conventional fuels blended with alcohol
or an ether compound are available in some
locales to help reduce emissions to meet clean
air standards. These gasolines are collectively
referred to as oxygenated fuels. If you plan to
use oxygenated fuel, check that it is unleaded
and meets the minimum octane rating and
blend requirement.
The following fuel blends have been approved
for use in your vehicle:
● Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) up to 10% by volume.
u Gasoline containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name Gasohol.
● Do not use gasoline containing methanol
(methyl alcohol).
If you accidentally fill your fuel tank with an
oxygenated fuel containing higher percentages,
you may experience performance problems. To
resolve the problem, have your dealer drain the
fuel tank and replace with the correct fuel. Fuel
system or performance problems resulting from
the use of an oxygenated fuel containing higher
percentages are not covered by your warranty.
NOTICE
Improper use of oxygenated fuels can damage
metal, rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel
system.
Oxygenated fuel can also damage paint.
Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered by
warranty.
If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms or performance problems, try a
different brand of gasoline.
