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 and in this manual. 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:
NOTICE
Information to help you avoid
damage to your vehicle, other
property, or the environment.

Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety:
● Perform all routine and regular inspections
specified in this manual.
● Stop the engine and keep sparks and flames
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. 9
Before Riding
Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally
focused, and free of alcohol and drugs. Check
that you and your passenger are both wearing
an approved helmet and protective apparel.
Instruct your passenger on holding onto the
seat strap or your waist, leaning with you in
turns, and keeping their feet on the footpegs,
even when the vehicle is stopped.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other vehicles, practice
riding in a safe area to become familiar with
how this vehicle works and handles, and to
become accustomed to the vehicle's size and
weight.

We recommend that all riders take a certified
course approved by the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation (MSF) or a state approved training
course. New riders should start with the basic
course, and even experienced riders will find the
advanced course beneficial.
For information about the MSF training course
nearest you, call the national toll-free number:
(800) 446-9227.
USA
Other riding tips can be found in the You
and Your Motorcycle Riding Tips booklet that
came with your vehicle.
Ride Defensively
Always pay attention to other vehicles around
you, and do not assume that other drivers see
you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an
evasive maneuver.
Make Yourself Easy to See
Make yourself more visible, especially at night,
by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioning
yourself so other drivers can see you, signaling
before turning or changing lanes, and using
your horn when necessary.
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.
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.
Inspect your vehicle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits (2 P. 17), and do not modify
your vehicle or install accessories that would
make your vehicle unsafe (2 P. 16).
If You are Involved in a Crash
Personal safety is your first priority. 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. Call for emergency
assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws
and regulations if another person or vehicle is
involved in the crash.
If you decide to continue riding, first turn the
electrical system off, and evaluate the condition
of your vehicle. Inspect for fluid leaks, check the
tightness of critical nuts and bolts, and check
the handlebars, control levers, brakes, and
wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously.
Your vehicle may have suffered damage that is
not immediately apparent. Have your vehicle
thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility
as soon as possible.
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 turn the electrical system off. 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 a 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 Labels
Safety and information labels on your vehicle
provide important safety information and may
warn you of potential hazards that could cause
serious injury. Read these labels carefully and
don't remove them.

Safety Precautions
● Ride cautiously and keep your hands on the
handlebars and feet on the footpegs.
● Instruct your passenger to keep their hands
on the seat strap or your waist and their feet
on the footpegs while riding.
● Always consider the safety of your
passenger, as well as other drivers and
riders.
Protective Apparel
Make sure that you and any passenger are
wearing an approved helmet, eye protection,
and high-visibility protective clothing. Avoid
wearing loose clothes that could get caught on
any part of the vehicle. Ride defensively in
response to weather and road conditions.
#
Helmet
Should be safety-standard certified, high-
visibility, and the correct size for your head.
● Must fit comfortably but securely, with the
chin strap fastened
● Face shield with unobstructed field of vision
or other approved eye protection
USA
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 and any passenger
always wear an approved helmet and
protective apparel.

Riding Precautions
Break-in Period
During the first 300 miles (500 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.
Brakes
Observe 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 are
longer.
● Avoid continuous braking.
u Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
● For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.
Riding Precautions
Vehicle Safety

Continued
#
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
This model is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) designed to help prevent the
brakes from locking up during hard braking.
The ABS functions with information provided by
the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit).
● ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a
longer stopping distance.
● ABS does not function at speeds below
4 mph (6 km/h).
● The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly
when applying the brakes. This is normal.
● Always use the recommended front/rear
tires and sprockets to ensure correct ABS
operation.
#
Engine Braking
Engine braking helps slow your vehicle down
when you release the throttle. For further
slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use
engine braking with intermittent use of the
brakes to reduce speed when descending long,
steep slopes.
#
Wet or Rainy Conditions
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet
brakes further reduce braking efficiency.
Exercise extra caution when braking in wet
conditions.
If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while
riding at low speed to help them dry.
Riding Precautions
Vehicle Safety
12
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.
● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebars (2 P. 96), and leave your
vehicle while taking the Honda SMART Key
with you.
Deactivate the Honda SMART Key system if
necessary. 2 P. 99
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.
#
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.
4.
Turn the handlebars fully to the left.
u Turning the handlebars to the right
reduces stability and may cause the
vehicle to fall.
5.
Lock the steering. 2 P. 96
Then, leave your vehicle while taking the
Honda SMART Key with you. Deactivate the
Honda SMART Key system if necessary.

Refueling and Fuel Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to protect the engine,
fuel system and catalytic converter:
● Use only unleaded gasoline.
● Use the 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. 209
● Do not use stale or contaminated gasoline
or an oil/gasoline mixture.
● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Riding Precautions

Honda Selectable Torque Control
When the Honda Selectable Torque Control
detects rear wheel spin during acceleration, the
system will limit the amount of torque applied
to the rear wheel based on the Torque Control
level selected.
Additionally, the system eases the rapid motion
during accelerating based on the Wheelie
Control level selected.
Torque Control will allow some wheel spin
during acceleration at the lower Torque Control
setting levels. Select a level that is appropriate
for your skill and riding conditions.
Torque Control does not work during
deceleration and will not prevent the rear wheel
from skidding due to engine braking. Do not
close the throttle suddenly, especially when
riding on slippery surfaces.
Torque Control may not compensate for rough
road conditions or rapid throttle operation.
Always consider road and weather conditions,
as well as your skills and condition, when
applying throttle.
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud, snow, or sand,
it may be easier to free it by turning off the
Torque Control temporarily.
Temporarily turning off Torque Control also
may help you maintain control and balance
when riding on off-road terrain.
Always use the recommended tires and
sprockets to ensure correct Torque Control
operation.

Caring for Your Vehicle
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean vehicle
makes it easier to spot potential problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of
corrosion. Always wash your vehicle thoroughly
after riding on coastal or treated roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-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 windscreen, headlight lens,
panels, and other plastic components
with extra care to avoid scratching them.
Avoid directing water into the air cleaner,
muffler, and electrical parts.
3.
Thoroughly rinse your vehicle with plenty of
clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
4.
After the vehicle dries, lubricate any moving
parts.
u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto
the brakes or tires. Brake discs, pads,
drum or shoes contaminated with oil will
suffer greatly reduced braking
effectiveness and can lead to a crash.
5.
Lubricate the drive chain immediately after
washing and drying the vehicle.
6.
Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
u Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents. These
can damage the metal, paint, and plastic
on your vehicle.
Keep the wax clear of the tires and
brakes.
u If your vehicle has any matte painted
parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the
matte painted surface.

Washing Precautions
Follow these guidelines when washing:
● Do not use high-pressure washers:
u High-pressure water cleaners can
damage moving parts and electrical
parts, rendering them inoperable.
u Water in the air intake can be drawn into
the throttle body and/or enter the air
cleaner.
● Do not direct water at the muffler:
u Water in the muffler can prevent starting
and causes rust in the muffler.
● Dry the brakes:
u Water adversely affects braking
effectiveness. After washing, apply the
brakes intermittently at low speed to
help dry them.
● Do not direct water under the seat:
u Water in the under seat compartment
can damage your documents and other
belongings.
● 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.
However, if you see a large amount of

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), the California Air Resources Board
(CARB), and Environment and Climate Change
Canada (ECCC) 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.
USA
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 located on the left side of the swingarm.

Noise Emission Requirements
The EPA requires that vehicles built after
January 1, 1983 comply with applicable noise
emission standards for one year or 3,730 miles
(6,000 km) after the time of purchase when
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 (programmed fuel injection) system
uses sequential multiport fuel injection, and is
comprised of air intake, engine control, fuel
control, and exhaust control subsystems. The
engine control module (ECM) uses sensors to
determine how much air enters the engine, and
then controls how much fuel to inject.
#
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 secondary air injection system adds filtered
air into the exhaust gas to help improve
emission control performance.
#
Catalytic Converters
The exhaust system contains one or more
catalytic converters. Catalytic converters use a
catalyst to convert most of the harmful exhaust
gas compounds into harmless compounds.
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
205
Continued
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 breather hose
air cleaner housing and throttle body.
Fuel Permeation Emission Control
The fuel tank, fuel hoses, and fuel vapor charge
hoses use fuel permeation control technologies
to prevent fuel vapor emissions. Tampering with
these components to reduce or defeat the
effectiveness of the fuel permeation
technologies is prohibited.
Noise Emission Control System
#
TAMPERING WITH THE NOISE CONTROL
SYSTEM IS PROHIBITED:
U. S. federal law prohibits, and Canadian
provincial laws may prohibit, 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 Affecting Vehicle Exhaust
Emissions
Have your vehicle inspected and repaired by
your dealer if you experience any of the
following symptoms:
● Hard starting or stalling after starting
● Rough idling
● Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration
● Poor engine performance and poor fuel
economy
Emission Control Systems
Information
207
Catalytic Converter
This vehicle is equipped with a three-way
catalytic converter. The catalytic converter
contains precious metals that serve as catalysts
in high temperature chemical reactions that
convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide
(CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the
exhaust gases into safe compounds.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to air
pollution and can impair your engine's
performance. A replacement unit must be an
original Honda part or equivalent.
Follow these guidelines to protect your vehicle's
catalytic converter:
● Always use unleaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline will damage the catalytic converter.
● Keep the engine in good running condition.
A poorly running engine can cause the
catalytic converter to overheat, causing
damage to the converter or the vehicle.
● If your engine is misfiring, backfiring, stalling,
or otherwise not running properly, stop
riding and turn off the engine. Have your
vehicle serviced as soon as possible.

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.

Statement on Warranty Coverage for
Aftermarket and Recycled Parts
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. s.
2301 et seq., makes it illegal for motor vehicle
manufacturers to void a motor vehicle warranty
or deny warranty coverage solely because an
aftermarket or recycled part has been used to
repair the vehicle or someone other than the
authorized service provider performed service
on the vehicle. This provision does not apply to
a new motor vehicle purchased solely for
commercial or industrial use.
Under federal law, a manufacturer may deny
warranty coverage and charge for repairs to a
vehicle if it is discovered that an aftermarket or
recycled part installed on the vehicle is defective
or was installed incorrectly and caused damage
to another part of the vehicle otherwise covered
under warranty. The Federal Trade Commission
requires that a manufacturer demonstrate that
an aftermarket or recycled part or service
performed by a person other than an
authorized service provider caused damage to
another part of the vehicle otherwise covered
under warranty before denying warranty
coverage. Additionally, federal law allows a
manufacturer to void a motor vehicle warranty
or deny warranty coverage if the manufacturer
provides the article or service to consumers free
of charge under the warranty or the
manufacturer has secured a waiver from the
Federal Trade Commission.

dealer will perform the warranty repairs. If you
have any questions about your warranty
coverage or the nature of the repair, talk to the
Service Manager of your Honda dealer.
If a misunderstanding occurs and you aren't
satisfied with your dealer's handling of the
situation, we suggest you discuss your problem
with the appropriate member of the
dealership's management team. If you are still
not satisfied, contact the owner of the
