Introduction
When you own a Honda, you’re part of a
worldwide family of satisfied customers
people who appreciate Honda’s
reputation for building quality into every

Important Safety Information
Always Wear a Helmet
Scooter Safety
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You’ll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. The following are a few that we
consider to be most important.
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly
reduce the number and severity of head
injuries. So always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet and make sure your
passenger does the same. We also
recommend that you wear eye protection,
sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective
gear (page ).
Your scooter can provide many years of
service and pleasure if you take
responsibility for your own safety and
understand the challenges you can meet
while riding.

Important Safety Information
Scooter Safety
Ride Defensively
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Make Yourself Easy to See
You and
Your Motorcycle Riding Tips,
The most frequent scooter collision
happens when a car turns left in front of a
scooter. Another common situation is a car
moving suddenly into your lane.
Even if you have ridden other scooters,
take time to become familiar with how
this scooter works and handles. Practice in
a safe area until you build your skills and
get accustomed to the scooter’s size and
weight.
Because many crashes involve
inexperienced or untrained riders, we urge
all riders to take a motorcycle operator
course approved by the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation (MSF). See page .
Some drivers do not see scooters because
they are not looking for them. To make
yourself more visible, wear bright
reflective clothing, position yourself so
other drivers can see you, signal before
turning or changing lanes, and use your
horn when it will help others notice you.
Always pay attention to other vehicles
around you, and do not assume that other
drivers see you. Be prepared to stop
quickly or make an evasive maneuver. For
other riding tips, see the booklet,
which came
with your new scooter.

Important Safety Information
Don’t Drink and Ride
Ride within Your Limits Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
Scooter Safety
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one
drink can reduce your ability to respond to
changing conditions, and your reaction
time gets worse with every additional
drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t
let your friends drink and ride either.
Pushing limits is another major cause of
scooter crashes. Never ride beyond your
personal abilities or faster than conditions
warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs,
fatigue, and inattention can significantly
reduce your ability to make good
judgments and ride safely.
It’s important to keep your scooter
properly maintained and in safe riding
condition. To help avoid problems, inspect
your scooter before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance.
Never exceed load limits (page ), and
do not modify your scooter (page ) or
install accessories that would make your
scooter unsafe (page ).

Improper accessories or
modifications can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or
killed.
Follow all instructions in this
owner’s manual regarding
accessories and modifications.

Accessories
Accessories & Modifications
Scooter Safety
Make sure the accessory does not
obscure any lights, reduce ground
clearance and lean angle, limit
suspension travel or steering travel, alter
your riding position, or interfere with
operating any controls. (cont’d)
Modifying your scooter or using non-
Honda accessories can make your scooter
unsafe. Before you consider making any
modifications or adding an accessory, be
sure to read the following information.
We strongly recommend that you use only
Honda Genuine Accessories that have
been specifically designed and tested for
your scooter. Because Honda cannot test
all other accessories, you must be
personally responsible for proper selection,
installation, and use of non-Honda
accessories.
Check with your Honda dealer for
assistance and always follow these
guidelines:

Modifications
Accessories & Modifications
Scooter Safety
Do not add any electrical equipment
that will exceed the scooter’s electrical
system capacity (page ). A blown
fuse can cause a loss of lights or engine
power (page ).
Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your
scooter. This scooter was not designed
for these attachments, and their use can
seriously impair your scooter’s handling.
We strongly advise you not to remove any
original equipment or modify your scooter
in any way that would change its design or
operation. Such changes could seriously
impair your scooter’s handling, stability,
and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
Removing or modifying your lights,
exhaust system, emission control system,
or other equipment can also make your
scooter illegal.

Safety Labels
Scooter Safety
If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your Honda dealer for a replacement.
Safety labels on your scooter either warn you of potential hazards that could cause serious
injury or they provide important safety information. Read these labels carefully and don’t
remove them.

Protective Apparel
Are You Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
Read this owner’s manual.
Make sure you understand all the safety
messages.
Know how to operate all the controls.
You feel well and are in good physical
and mental condition.
Before each ride, be sure: For your safety, we strongly recommend
that you always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots,
gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved
shirt or jacket whenever you ride.
Although complete protection is not
possible, wearing proper gear can reduce
the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you
choose the proper gear.
Before you ride your scooter for the first
time, we urge you to:
Youarewearinganapproved
motorcycle helmet (with chin strap
tightened securely), eye protection, and
other protective clothing.
You don’t have any alcohol or drugs in
your system.
Make sure your passenger is ready to ride,
too, and is wearing proper gear including a
helmet.
If you must carry an extra helmet while
riding, use a commercially available
elastic cord, strap, or net to secure the
helmet to the seat.
０９／１２／１４ １４：４７：５２ ３１ＭＧＦ６１０ ００４５
Not wearing a helmet increases
the chance of serious injury or
death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger
always wear a helmet, eye
protection, and other protective
apparel when you ride.
37
Are You Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
(cont’d)
Helmet and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece
of riding gear because it offers the best
protection against head injuries. A helmet
should fit your head comfortably and
securely. A bright-colored helmet and
reflective strips can make you more
noticeable in traffic.
Leather gloves to help protect your
hands.
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
In addition to a helmet and eye protection,
we also recommend:
Additional Riding Gear
An open-face helmet offers some
protection, but a full-face helmet offers
more. Regardless of the style, look for a
DOT (Department of Transportation)
sticker on any helmet you buy. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect
your eyes and help your vision.

Rider Training
Are You Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
Riding Tips
We urge all riders to take a motorcycle
operator course approved by the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF).
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.
A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for
comfort as well as protection.
Bright-colored and reflective clothing
can help make you more noticeable in
traffic. Avoid loose clothes that could
get caught on any part of your scooter.
Developing your riding skills is an on-
going process. Even if you have ridden
other scooters, take time to become
familiar with how this scooter works and
handles. Practice riding the scooter in a
safe area to build your skills. Do not ride
in traffic until you get accustomed to the
scooter’s controls, and feel comfortable
with its size and weight.
Other riding tips can be found in the
booklet that came with your
scooter.

Pre-ride Inspection
Is Your Scooter Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
Tires
&
Wheels
Before each ride, it’s important to inspect
your scooter and make sure 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.
Check the following items before you get
on the scooter:
Look at the tires. If a tire
appears low, use an air
pressure gauge to check its
pressure. Also look for
signs of excessive wear
(page ) or damage to
the tires and wheels.

Periodic maintenance should also be done
at least once a month, no matter how often
you ride.
Remember, be sure to take care of any
problem you find, or have your Honda
dealer correct it before you ride.
Check these items after you get on the
scooter:
Rotate the throttle to check
it moves smoothly without
binding.
Pull the front and rear
brake levers to check that
they operate normally.
Turn the ignition on and

Loading
Load Limits & Guidelines
Before Riding
Your scooter has been designed to carry
you and one passenger. When you carry a
passenger, you may feel some difference
during acceleration and braking. But so
long as you keep your scooter well-
maintained, with good tires and brakes,
you can safely carry loads within the
given limits and guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit or
carrying an unbalanced load can seriously
impair your scooter’s handling, braking,
and stability. Non-Honda accessories,
improper modifications, and poor
maintenance can also reduce your safety
margin.
How much weight you put on your scooter,
and how you load it, are important to your
safety. Anytime you ride with a passenger
or cargo, you should be aware of the
following information.

Load Limits & Guidelines
Before Riding
Follow these guidelines whenever you
carry a passenger or cargo:
Check that both tires are properly
inflated, and that pressure in the rear
tire is increased to suit the load
(page ).
If you change your normal load, you
may need to adjust the rear suspension
(page ).
To prevent loose items from creating a
hazard, make sure that all cargo is tied
down securely before you ride.
Place cargo weight as low and close to
the center of your scooter as possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both
sides.
Improperly loading your scooter can
affect its stability and handling. Even if
your scooter is properly loaded, you
should ride at reduced speeds and never
exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) when carrying
cargo.

brake levers smoothly.
Gradually increase braking as you feel the
brakes slowing your speed.
For support, before coming to a complete
stop, put your left foot down first, then
your right foot down.
Your scooter is equipped with a Combined
Braking System. Operating the front brake
lever applies the front brake. Operating
the rear brake lever applies the rear brake
and a portion of the front brake. For full
braking effectiveness, use the front and
rear brake levers simultaneously.
This model is also equipped with an Anti-
lock Brake System (page ).
This model is not equipped with an Anti-
Lock Brake System. As with a
conventional scooter braking system,
excessively hard application of the brake
controls may cause wheel lock, reducing
control of the scooter.

Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
Your ability to brake in a turn and to brake
hard in an emergency situation are
important riding skills. We suggest
attending a Motorcycle Safety Foundation
experienced rider training course
(page ) to retain these skills.
When possible, reduce your speed or
complete braking before entering a turn.
Avoid braking or closing the throttle
quickly while turning. Either action may
cause one or both wheels to slip and
reduce your control of your scooter.
When riding in wet or rainy 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 both brakes intermittently.
Continuous brake application can
overheat the brakes and reduce their
effectiveness.
Riding with your hand on either brake
lever may actuate the brakelight, giving
a false indication to other drivers. It
may also overheat the brakes, reducing
effectiveness.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
This model is also equipped with an Anti-
lock Brake System (ABS) designed to help
prevent wheel lock up during hard braking
on uneven or other poor surfaces while
running straight. Although the wheel may
not lock up if you are braking too hard
in a turn the scooter can still lose traction,
causing a loss of control.
In some situations, a scooter with ABS
may require a longer stopping distance to
stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an
equivalent scooter without ABS.
ABS cannot make up for road conditions,
bad judgment, or improper operation of
the brakes. It is still your responsibility to
ride at reasonable speeds for weather, road
surface, and traffic conditions, and to
leave a margin of safety.
ABS may be activated by riding over a
sharpdroporriseintheroadlevel.
It is important to follow the tire
recommendations (page ). The ABS
computer works by comparing wheel
speed. Non-recommended tires can affect
wheel speed and may confuse the ABS
computer.
ABS does not function if the battery is
discharged.
ABS is self-checking and is always on.
ABS does not function at low speeds
(approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or
below).

ABS Indicator Light
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
Normally, this light comes on when the
ignition is turned ON, and goes off after
you ride the scooter at speed above 6 mph
(10 km/h). If there is an ABS problem, the
indicator light comes on and remains on.
The ABS system does not operate when
the ABS indicator light is on.
If the ABS indicator light comes on while
riding, stop the scooter in a safe place and
turn off the engine.
Turn the ignition ON again. The light
should come on, and go off after you ride
the scooter at speeds above 6 mph
(10 km/h). If it does not go off, ABS is
not functioning, but the brakes still work
the Combined Brake System and provide
normal stopping ability. However, you
should have the system checked by Honda
dealer as soon as possible.
The ABS indicator light may come on if
you turn the rear wheel at high speed for
more than 30 seconds while the scooter is
upright on the stand. This is normal. Turn
the ignition OFF, then turn it ON. The
indicator should come on, then go off
after you run the scooter above 19 mph
(30 km/h).

Use the side or center stand to support
the scooter while parked.
If you must park on a hill, position the
rear tire against the curb at a 45 degree
angle.
If you have to park on a soft surface,
insert something solid under the stand
for support.
To lower the center stand, stand on
the left side of the scooter. Hold the
left handle grip and the left passenger
handrail. Press down on the tip of the
stand with your right foot and,
simultaneously, pull up and back.
Make sure flammable materials such as
dry grass or leaves do not come in

Theft-prevention Tips
Parking
Basic Operation & Riding
If you decide to use an anti-theft device,
select one of good quality and be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Always take the ignition key with you.
Always use the steering lock (page ),
even if you’re parking for just a minute
or two. A thief can easily push an
unlocked scooter to a waiting truck.
In addition to the steering lock, use a
good quality anti-theft device made
specifically to lock a scooter to a secure
object.
Keep your owner’s manual, current
registration, and insurance information
with your scooter. This will make it
easier for the authorities to find you if
your scooter is stolen and recovered.
Park your scooter in a locked garage
whenever possible. If a garage isn’t
available, park in a concealed area or in
a well-lit area with enough pedestrian
traffic to discourage a thief.

The Importance of Maintenance
Servicing Your Honda
Keeping your scooter well-maintained is
absolutely essential to your safety. It’s
also a good way to protect your
investment, get maximum performance,
avoid breakdowns, and have more fun. A
properly maintained scooter will also help
to reduce air pollution.
Remember, proper maintenance is the
owner’s responsibility. Be sure to inspect
your scooter before each ride, perform the
periodic checks, and follow the
Maintenance Schedule in this section.
If your scooter overturns or is involved in
a crash, be sure your Honda dealer
inspects all major parts, even if you are
able to make some repairs.
０９／１２／１４ １４：５３：１１ ３１ＭＧＦ６１０ ００８９
Failure to properly follow
maintenance instructions and
precautions can cause you to be
seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and
precautions in this owner’s
manual.
81
Maintenance Safety
Servicing Your Honda
Other tasks that are more difficult and
require special tools are best performed by
professionals. Wheel removal should
normally be handled only by a Honda
technician or other qualified mechanic.
Instructions are included in this manual
only to assist in emergency service.
Some of the most important safety
precautions follow. However, we cannot
warn you of every conceivable hazard that
can arise in performing maintenance. Only
you can decide whether or not you should
perform a given task.
This section includes instructions on how
to perform some important maintenance

Important Safety Precautions
Maintenance Safety
Servicing Your Honda
Carbon monoxide poisoning from
engine exhaust.
Burns from hot scooter parts.
Injury from moving parts.
Read the instructions before you begin,
and make sure you have the tools and
skills required.
Make sure the engine is off before you
begin any maintenance or repairs. This
will help eliminate several potential
hazards:
Be sure there is
adequate ventilation whenever you
operate the engine.
Let the
engine and exhaust system cool before
touching.
Do not run
the engine unless instructed to do so.
To help prevent the scooter from falling
over, park it on a firm, level surface,
using the side stand, center stand or a
maintenance stand to provide support.
To reduce the possibility of a fire or
explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline. Use only
non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to
clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and
flames away from all fuel-related parts.
Be sure the rear brake lock is set before
running the engine while the scooter is
supported by the center stand. This will
prevent the rear wheel from spinning
and avoid the possibility of someone
being injured from contacting the wheel.

Servicing Your Honda
Use of lower octane gasoline can cause
persistent ‘‘pinging’’ or ‘‘spark knock’’ (a
loud 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 Honda
dealer.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline
or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting
dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.

Engine Oil, Filter & Strainer Screen
Engine oil quality is a major factor that
affects both the performance and the
service life of the engine.
Change the engine oil as specified in the
maintenance schedule on page .
When running in very dusty conditions, oil
changes should be performed more
frequently than specified in the
maintenance schedule.
Using the proper oil (page ) and filter,
and regularly checking, adding, and
changing oil will help extend your
engine’s life. Even the best oil wears out.
Changing oil helps get rid of dirt and
deposits in the engine. Operating the
engine with old or dirty oil can damage
your engine. Running the engine with
insufficient oil can cause serious damage
to the engine and transmission.

Coolant Recommendation
Coolant
Servicing Your Honda
Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may
cause premature wear of water pump
seals or blockage of radiator passages.
Using tap water may cause engine
damage.
Maintaining the coolant will allow the
cooling system to work properly and
prevent freezing, overheating, and
corrosion.
Use Pro Honda HP coolant or an
equivalent high quality ethylene glycol
antifreeze containing corrosion protection
inhibitors specifically recommended for
use in aluminum engines. Check the
antifreeze container label.
Use only distilled water as a part of the
coolant solution. Water that is high in
mineral content or salt may be harmful to
the aluminum engine.
Your scooter’s liquid cooling system
dissipates engine heat through the coolant
jacket that surrounds the cylinder and
cylinder head.
The factory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and water in this scooter. This
coolant solution is recommended for most
operating temperatures and provides good
corrosion protection.

Decreasing the concentration of antifreeze
to less than 40% will not provide proper
corrosion protection.
Increasing the concentration of antifreeze
is not recommended because it decreases
cooling system performance. Higher
concentrations of antifreeze (up to 60%)
should only be used to provide additional
protection against freezing. Check the
cooling system frequently during freezing
weather.

Suspension
Servicing Your Honda
Your front and rear suspension systems
use springs and hydraulic damping devices
that suspend your weight and most of the
weight of your scooter.
The spring pre-load for your rear
suspension system adjusts the amount of
force required to begin compression of the
spring.
Consider adjusting your rear suspension
pre-load whenever you change your
normal load, when adding or subtracting a
passenger, cargo, or accessories, or when
the road or riding conditions change.
The way you ride your scooter and the
type of ride you want to experience can
also influence your suspension needs.
Lower spring pre-load provides a softer
ride and is usually preferred for light loads
and smooth roads. Higher spring pre-load
provides a firmer ride and is
recommended for heavy loads, rough road
conditions, and faster, more challenging
riding.

Brakes
Servicing Your Honda
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid
level will drop. A leak in the system will
also cause the level to drop.
Frequently inspect the system to ensure
there are no fluid leaks. Periodically
inspect the brake fluid level and the brake
pads for wear.
If the brake lever freeplay does not feel
within the normal range while riding,
check the brake pads for wear (page ).
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads
are not worn beyond the recommended
limit, there is probably air in the brake
system. See your Honda dealer to have the
air bled from the system.
The hydraulic braking systems on your
scooter dissipate the heat generated by the
friction of the brake pads on the brake
discs as the wheels are slowed.

Safety Precautions
To safely operate your scooter, your tires
must be the proper type and size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and
correctly inflated for the load you are
carrying.
The following pages give detailed
informationonhowandwhentocheck
your air pressure, how to inspect your tires
for wear and damage, and our
recommendations for tire repair and
replacement.
Refer to on page .
Properly inflated tires provide the best
combination of handling, tread life, and
riding comfort. Generally, underinflated
tires wear unevenly, adversely affect
handling, and are more likely to fail from
being overheated. Overinflated tires make
your scooter ride harshly, are more prone
to damage from road hazards, and wear
unevenly.

Tires
Servicing Your Honda
We recommend that you visually check
your tires before every ride and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure
at least once a month or any time you
think the tires might be low. Even tires
that are in good condition may lose one to
two psi per month if not checked and
adjusted regularly.
Tubeless tires have some degree of self-
sealing ability if they are punctured.
However, because leakage is often very
slow, you should look closely for
punctures whenever a tire is not fully
inflated.
The recommended ‘‘cold’’ tire pressures
are:
Always check air pressure when your tires
are ‘‘cold’’ –– after the scooter has been
parked for at least three hours. If you
check air pressure when your tires are
‘‘warm’’ –– even if your scooter has only
been ridden for a few miles –– the
readings will be higher. If you let air out
of warm tires to match the recommended
cold pressures, the tires will be
underinflated.

Servicing Your Honda
For the best performance, you should
replace a tire before the tread depth at the
center reaches the following limits:
If the wear indicators are visible, replace
the tire immediately as it is no longer safe.
The service life of your tires is dependent
on many factors, including, but not limited
to, riding habits, road conditions, vehicle
loading, tire pressure, maintenance history,
speed, and environmental conditions (even
when the tires are not in use).
In addition to your regular inspections and
tire pressure 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) ( ) are found on
the sidewall of the tire, and indicate the

If You Have a Flat Tire,
Safety Precautions
A temporary repair can sometimes be
made in an emergency situation.
However, since a temporary repair may
not hold, you must ride very slowly,
preferably without any cargo or passenger,
and have the tire replaced or permanently
repaired as soon as possible.
(For more information on temporary
repairs, see
page .)
A permanent repair, such as an internal
plug patch, can be made if a tire has only a
small puncture in the tread area. With such
a repair, you should not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) for the first 24 hours, or 80 mph
(130 km/h) at any time thereafter. In
addition, you may not be able to safely
carry as much weight. If you choose to
have a tire repaired, be sure the repair
work is performed by a professional and
that the wheel is balanced before you ride.
If you have a tire professionally repaired
at a non-Honda facility, we recommend
that you have the work checked by your
Honda dealer.
Refer to on page .

designed to match the performance
capabilities of your scooter and provide

Safety Precautions
Frequent cleaning and polishing will keep
your Honda looking newer longer.
Frequent cleaning also identifies you as an
owner who values your scooter. A clean
scooter is also easier to inspect and service.
Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents that
could damage the metal, paint, and
plastic on your scooter.
If your scooter is still warm from recent
operation, give the engine and exhaust
system time to cool off.
Park in a shady area. Washing your
scooter in bright sunlight may cause the
finish to fade because water droplets
intensify the sun’s brightness. Spotting
is also more likely because surface
water can dry before you have time to
wipe it off.
Clean your scooter regularly to protect
surface finishes.

Transporting Your Scooter
Tips
If your scooter needs to be transported, it
should be carried on a motorcycle trailer,
or a truck or trailer with a flatbed area. Do
not tow your scooter, as towing can
seriously damage the transmission.
When contacting a towing or transporting
service, be sure to ask if they have a
flatbed area, a loading ramp or power
ramp to safely lift the scooter, and
motorcycle tie-down straps.

Recycle Wastes.
Choose Sensible Cleaners.
You & the Environment
Tips
It’s illegal and
thoughtless to put used engine oil in the
trash, down a drain, or on the ground.
Used oil, gasoline, coolant, and
cleaning solvents contain poisons that
can hurt refuse workers and
contaminate our drinking water, lakes,
rivers, and oceans. Before changing
your oil, make sure you have the proper
containers. Put oil and other toxic
wastes in separate sealed 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.
Owning and riding a scooter can be
enjoyable, but you must do your part to
protect nature.
Following are tips on how you can be an
environmentally responsible scooter
owner.
Use a
biodegradable detergent when you wash
your scooter. Avoid aerosol spray
cleaners that contain
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which
damage the atmosphere’s protective
ozone layer. Don’t throw cleaning
solvents away; see the following
guidelines for proper disposal.

If You Have a Flat Tire
Taking Care of the Unexpected
A flat tire is always unwelcome,
especially if you are far from help. If you
think you are losing air, or you hit a
pothole or hard object, pull safely to the
side of the road so you can inspect the
tires and assess the situation. (Be sure to
park on a firm, level surface and use the
center stand for support.) You should
examine the tire treads and sidewalls for
foreign objects or damage. If you find a
tire that has been punctured or damaged,
you have two options.
Option 1:
Have Your Scooter Transported
If a tire has a major puncture or a cut in
the tread or sidewall, or the bead has come
loose from the rim, there is probably not
much you can do except have your scooter
transported to a Honda dealer or other
qualified service facility. Even with a
simple puncture, this may be the safest
and least troublesome solution. For
transporting instructions, see page .
Option 2:
Make a Temporary Roadside Repair
If a tire has only a minor nail puncture and
is not completely flat, you may be able to
make an emergency repair that could
allow you to continue riding to where you
can get the tire replaced or permanently
repaired.
169
０９／１２／１４ １５：０４：４９ ３１ＭＧＦ６１０ ０１８７
Riding your scooter with a
temporary tire repair can be risky.
If the temporary repair fails, you
can crash and be seriously injured
or killed.
If you must ride with a temporary
tire repair, ride slowly and
carefully and do not exceed 30
mph(50km/h)untilthetireis
permanently repaired or replaced.
179
Types of Temporary Repairs
If You Have a Flat Tire
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Due to the uncertainty of any temporary
repair, you should ride slowly (not over 30
mph, 50 km/h) and carefully (preferably
without a passenger or cargo) until the tire
is replaced or permanently repaired. Stop
frequently and check the air pressure. If
the tire is losing pressure, it may be unsafe
to continue riding. As the tire gets low, it
will affect the handling of your scooter
(especially with a passenger and cargo)
and it may overheat and blow out.
The following types of temporary repairs
generally require a source of air to inflate
the tire. Possible sources include CO
cartridges or cans of compressed air
designed to inflate a tire.

Should You Repair or Replace a
Tire?

Taking Care of the Unexpected
Inflate the tire:
Plug the hole:
Tubeless tires have
some self-sealing ability if they are
punctured and the result is usually just a
slow leak. If this is the case, you can try
inflating the tire to see if it will hold air
pressure. If you can see a nail or other
object embedded in the tire tread, do not
remove it at this time.

something to temporarily stop the leak.
If you have a tubeless tire repair kit,
you can pull out the nail and try
insertinganexternalpluginthe
puncture. Follow the instructions that
came with the repair kit and be sure to
inflate the tire to the correct pressure.
We strongly recommend that you replace,
not permanently repair, any tire that is
punctured or damaged, even if the tire has
only a minor puncture. For a full
discussion of repairs and replacement, see

If Your Engine Overheats
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Continuing to ride with an overheated
engine can cause serious engine damage.
A steaming engine indicates a coolant
leak. Shut the engine off and wait until
the steaming stops. Look for a leak, but
don’t touch the engine or radiator
system. Let everything cool off first.
Normally, the coolant temperature on your
temperature meter will rise and then level
off. Hot weather may cause the
temperature to rise higher than normal. So
will temporary stress such as climbing a
hill. If you’re stuck in stop-and-go traffic,
the temperature may climb some, but the
radiator fan is designed to prevent
overheating. Be aware of these variations
as you monitor the meter.
If there’s no obvious problem, leave the
engine on so the fan and coolant
circulating system can continue
working. Monitor the temperature meter.
The temperature may drop to the
normal range after a brief stop with no
load on the engine.
If the high coolant temperature indicator
comes on, and the coolant temperature
meter displays five segments for no
apparent reason, pull safely to the side of
the road. If possible, park in a shady area.
０９／１２／１４ １５：０５：１０ ３１ＭＧＦ６１０ ０１９１
183
If Your Engine Overheats
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Check the radiator fan.
If the fan is not working, turn the
engine off. Open the fuse box (page
) and check the radiator fan fuse.
If the fuse is blown, replace it with the
proper (same rating) spare fuse. Start
the engine. If the high coolant
temperature indicator come on, and the
coolant temperature meter displays five
segments, turn the engine off.
If the radiator fan is working, visually
check the coolant level in the reserve
tank, located under the right fairing
pocket (page ). It isn’t necessary to
touch the radiator system.
If you are able to resume riding, continue
to monitor the meter frequently.
If the reserve tank is low or empty, don’t
ride without adding coolant (page ).
After adding coolant, turn the engine on
and check the temperature meter.
If the temperature doesn’t drop, do not
ride. The engine needs repair. Transport
your scooter to a Honda dealer (page
).
If the temperature drops to normal,
check the coolant level. If it has gone
down, add more coolant.
If there’s a mild leak, you can ride for
awhile, carefully watching the meter. Be
prepared to stop and add more coolant or
water. If the leak is bad, transport your
scooter to a Honda dealer (page ).

If the Low Oil Pressure Indicator Lights
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Continuing to ride with low oil pressure
can cause serious engine damage.
If you check your engine oil level
regularly, you should never see the low oil
pressure indicator while riding. Normally,
it will only light momentarily when you
turn the ignition switch ON. Occasionally,
it may flicker at or near idling speed.
Lowoilpressuremaybecausedbyanoil
leak, a low oil level, or some problem in
the engine’s lubrication system.
Check for an oil leak.
If the indicator comes on while you’re
riding, don’t ignore it. Pull safely to the
side of the road. Stop the engine as soon
as it’s safe to do so.
Then check the oil level. If necessary,
add the recommended oil (page ) to
the upper level mark. If you must leave
your scooter to get oil, secure it as much
as possible.
After adding oil, start the engine, and
check that the low oil pressure indicator
goes off. Check for a possible leak.
If the indicator goes off and there is no
leak –– resume riding. If there is a leak
–– do not ride the scooter until the leak
is repaired by a Honda dealer.

If a Fuse Blows
Taking Care of the Unexpected
All of the electrical circuits on your
scooter have fuses to protect them from
damage caused by excess current flow
(short circuit or overload).
If something electrical on your scooter
stops working, the first thing you should
check for is a blown fuse.
Determine from the chart on the circuit
fuse box cover which fuse or fuses control
that component. Check those fuses first,
but check all the fuses before looking
elsewhere for another possible cause of
the problem. Replace any blown fuses and
check component operation.
(cont’d)
The main fuse A (and spare) is located
on the starter motor magnetic switch
inside the left side cover.
The main fuse B and circuit fuse boxes
(including spare fuses) are located
under the seat.
Recommended Fuses
To prevent an accidental short circuit,
turn the ignition switch OFF before
checking or replacing the fuses.
The spare circuit fuses are located in the
fuse boxes.

If a Fuse Blows
Taking Care of the Unexpected
If you replace a blown fuse with a spare
fuse that has a lower rating, replace the
fuse with the correct rating as soon as you
can. Also remember to replace any spare
fuses that were installed.
If you do not have a spare fuse and you
cannot ride the scooter without fixing the
problem, take a fuse of the same rating or
a lower rating from one of the other
circuits that you can do without
temporarily.
If the replacement fuse of the same rating
burns out in a short time, there is probably
a serious electrical problem on your
scooter. Leave the blown fuse in that
circuit and have your scooter checked by
your Honda dealer.

If You Crash
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Transporting Your Scooter,
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. Call for emergency
assistance if needed. Also follow
applicable laws and regulations if another
person or vehicle is involved in the crash.
If there is minor damage, or you are
unsure about possible damage, ride slowly
and cautiously. Sometimes, crash damage
is hidden or not immediately apparent, so
you should have your scooter thoroughly
checked at a qualified service facility as
soon as possible. Also, be sure to have
your Honda dealer check the frame and
suspension after any serious crash.
If your scooter cannot be ridden, see
page .
If you decide that you are capable of
riding safely, first evaluate the condition
of your scooter. 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.

Taking Care of the Unexpected
If You Lose Your Key
You should receive a key number plate
( ) with your keys. Store this plate in a
safe place.
Be sure to record your key number in the
Quick Reference section at the rear of the
manual. You’ll need this number to have a
duplicate key made.
A lost key won’t be a problem if you take
preventative action. Store one duplicate
key in a safe place at home and carry a
second duplicate in your wallet.
If you lose your key and aren’t carrying a
duplicate, either get your spare or have
one made. If you don’t know your key
number, call the dealer where you
purchased your Honda. They may have it
listed in their records. If they don’t,
transport your scooter to them or the
nearest Honda dealer. The dealer will
probably have to remove the ignition
switch assembly to find the key number so
they can make a key for you.

Exhaust Emission Requirements
Noise Emission Requirements
Warranty Compliance
The U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) require that
your scooter comply with applicable
exhaust emissions standards during its
useful life, when operated and maintained
according to the instructions provided.
The EPA also requires that scooters 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 sale to the ultimate purchaser,
when operated and maintained according
to the instructions provided.
Compliance with the terms of the
Distributor’s Warranties for Honda
Scooter Emission Control Systems is
necessary in order to keep the emissions
system warranty in effect.

Emission Control Systems
Technical Information
Source of Exhaust Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon
monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx),
and hydrocarbons (HC). Control of
hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is
very important because, under certain
conditions, they react to form
photochemical smog when subjected to
sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react
in the same way, but it is toxic.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. utilizes various
systems to reduce hydrocarbons, oxides of
nitrogen, and carbon monoxide.
The Vehicle Emission Control
Information label ( ) is attached to the
inside of the center compartment.

Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)
System
Ignition Timing Control System
Exhaust Emission Control System
Emission Control Systems
Technical Information
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.
The system constantly adjusts the ignition
timing, reducing the amount of HC, CO
and NOx produced.
The exhaust emission control system
includes a secondary air injection system,
ignition timing control system, PGM-FI
system, three-way catalytic converter, and
heated oxygen sensor.
No adjustment to these systems should be
made although periodic inspection of the
components is recommended.

Secondary Air Injection System
Evaporative Emission Control System
Three-Way Catalytic Converter
Emission Control Systems
Technical Information
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.
This scooter complies with the
requirements of the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) evaporative
emission regulations. Fuel vapor from the
fuel tank is directed into the charcoal
canister and air cleaner where it is
adsorbed and stored while the engine is
stopped. When the engine is running and
the purge control solenoid valve is open,
fuel vapor in the charcoal canister and air
cleaner is drawn into the engine through
the throttle body.
The three-way catalytic converter is in the
exhaust system. Through chemical
reactions, it converts HC, CO, and NOx in
the engine’s exhaust to carbon dioxide
(CO ), nitrogen (N), and water vapor.

Fuel Permeation Emission Control
System
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,

defeat the effectiveness of the fuel
permeation technologies is prohibited by
federal regulations.
０９／１２／１４ １５：０８：１７ ３１ＭＧＦ６１０ ０２１９
211
Catalytic Converter
Technical Information
A defective catalytic converter contributes
to air pollution, and can impair your
engine’s performance. Follow these
guidelines to protect your scooter’s
catalytic converter.
Always use unleaded gasoline. Even a
small amount of leaded gasoline can
contaminate the catalyst metals, making
the catalytic converter ineffective.
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
scooter.
If your engine is misfiring, backfiring,
stalling, or otherwise not running
properly, stop riding and turn off the
engine. Have your scooter serviced as
soon as possible.
This scooter is equipped with a three-way
catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter contains precious
metals that serve as catalysts, promoting
chemical reactions to convert the exhaust
gasses without affecting the metals.
The catalytic converter acts on HC, CO,
and NOx. A replacement unit must be an
original Honda part or its equivalent.
The catalytic converter must operate at a
high temperature for the chemical
reactions to take place. It can set fire to
any combustible materials that come near
it. Park your scooter away from high
grasses, dry leaves, or other flammables.

Oxygenated Fuels
Technical Information
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is
unleaded and meets the minimum octane
rating requirement.
Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to
confirm the fuel’s contents. Some states/
provinces require this information to be
posted on the pump.
The following are the EPA-approved
percentages of oxygenates:
ETHANOL (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10%
by Volume
You may use gasoline containing up to
10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline
containing ethanol may be marketed
under the name ‘‘Gasohol’’.
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) 15%
by Volume
You may use gasoline containing up to
15% MTBE by volume.
Some conventional gasolines are being
blended with alcohol or an ether
compound. These gasolines are
collectively referred to as oxygenated
fuels. To meet clean air standards, some
areas of the United States use oxygenated
fuels to help reduce emissions.
０９／１２／１４ １５：０８：２７ ３１ＭＧＦ６１０ ０２２１
213
Oxygenated Fuels
Technical Information
Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and
plastic. Damage caused by spilled fuel is
not covered by warranty.
Fuel system damage or performance
problems resulting from the use of an
oxygenated fuel containing more than the
percentages of oxygenates mentioned
above are not covered under warranty.
Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and
plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling the fuel tank. Wipe up any spills
immediately.
If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms, try another service station or
switch to another brand of gasoline.
METHANOL (methyl or wood alcohol)
5% by Volume
You may use gasoline containing
methanol containing up to 5% methanol
by volume as long as it also contains
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to
protect the fuel system. Gasoline
containing more than 5% methanol by
volume may cause starting and/or
performance problems. It may also
damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts
of your fuel system.
