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

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
grab rail 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.

Continued
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.
Safety Guidelines
Vehicle Safety

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. 15), and do not modify
your vehicle or install accessories that would
make your vehicle unsafe (2 P. 14).
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
ignition switch to the OFF position, and evaluate
the condition of your vehicle. Inspect for fluid
leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and
bolts, and check the handlebar, 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.

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.
If a label comes off or becomes hard to read,
contact your dealer for a replacement.

Safety Precautions
● Ride cautiously and keep your hands on the
handlebar and feet on the footpegs.
● Instruct your passenger to keep their hands
on the grab rail 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.
● Ride conservatively.
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
●
Avoid excessively hard braking.
u Sudden braking can reduce the vehicle's
stability.
u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
Riding Precautions
Vehicle Safety
10
● 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.
● For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.
#
Combined Braking System (CBS)
Your vehicle's rear brake system is linked to the
front brake. This means that operating the rear
brake pedal applies the rear brake and a
portion of the front brake.
Operating the front brake lever applies only the
front brake.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
front and rear brakes together.
#
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

Tire Service Life
The service life of your tires is dependent on
many factors, including, but not limited to,
riding habits, road conditions, vehicle loading,
tire air pressure, maintenance history, speed,
and environmental conditions (even when the
tires are not in use).
In addition to your regular inspections and
maintenance, it is recommended that you have
annual inspections performed once the tires
reach 5 years old. It is also recommended that
all tires be removed from service after 10 years
from the date of manufacture, regardless of
their condition or state of wear.
The last four digits of the TIN (tire identification
number) indicate the date of manufacture.
#
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The tire identification number (TIN) is a group of
numbers and letters located on the sidewall of the
tire.

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 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.
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 carburetor 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.
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 surfaces:
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.

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 Scooter
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 body.

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 consists of
appropriate carburetor settings, and no
adjustment should be made except idle speed
adjustment with the throttle stop screw.
#
Secondary Air Injection System
The secondary air injection system adds filtered
air into the exhaust gas to help improve
emission control performance.
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 and carburetor while the
engine is off. The vapor is drawn into the
engine and burned while riding.
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 carburetor.
Emission Control Systems
Information
96
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.

● Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration
● Poor engine performance and poor fuel
economy
Emission Control Systems
Information
98
High Altitude Carburetor
Adjustment
Your engine's air-fuel mixture becomes overly
rich when operated at high altitudes.
Above 6,500 ft (2,000 m), a rich mixture can
cause driveability problems, reduce engine
performance, and increase fuel consumption.
To compensate, you can have the carburetor
adjusted for high altitude riding. See your
dealer.
However, the carburetor must be returned to
standard factory specifications before riding
again at lower altitudes (below 5,000 ft (1,500
m)). See your dealer.
Sustained riding at lower altitudes with the lean
high-altitude setting may cause rough idling,
stalling, or engine damage from overheating.
High Altitude Carburetor Adjustment
Information
99
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.

authorize that inspection, and your dealer will
return the results of the inspection. If a problem
exists and is covered under warranty, your
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
