Important Safety Information
Motorcycle Safety
Always Wear a HelmetYour motorcycle 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.
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 ).42

Motorcycle Safety
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Ride Defensively
Make Yourself Easy to See
You and
Your Motorcycle Riding Tips,
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 motorcycle (USA only).
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,
take time to become familiar with how
this motorcycle works and handles.
Practice in a safe area until you build your
skills and get accustomed to the
motorcycle’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 .
The most frequent motorcycle collision
happens when a car turns left in front of a
motorcycle. Another common situation is
a car moving suddenly into your lane.
Some drivers do not see motorcycles
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.

Important Safety Information
Motorcycle Safety
Ride within Your Limits Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
Don’t Drink and Ride
Pushing limits is another major cause of
motorcycle 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 motorcycle
properly maintained and in safe riding
condition. To help avoid problems, inspect
your motorcycle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance.
Never exceed load limits (page ), and
do not modify your motorcycle (page )
or install accessories that would make
your motorcycle unsafe (page ).
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.

Accessories
Accessories & Modifications
Motorcycle Safety
Modifying your motorcycle or using non-
Honda accessories can make your
motorcycle 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 motorcycle. 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:
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)

Modifications
Accessories & Modifications
Motorcycle Safety
Do not add any electrical equipment
that will exceed the motorcycle’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
motorcycle. This motorcycle was not
designed for these attachments, and
their use can seriously impair your
motorcycle’s handling.
We strongly advise you not to remove any
original equipment or modify your
motorcycle in any way that would change
its design or operation. Such changes
could seriously impair your motorcycle’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
motorcycle illegal.

Safety Labels
Motorcycle Safety
Safety labels on your motorcycle 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.
If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your Honda dealer for a replacement.

Before Riding
Before you ride your motorcycle for the
first time, we urge you to:
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.
Youarewearinganapproved
motorcycle helmet (with chin strap
tightened securely), eye protection, and
other protective clothing.
Make sure your passenger is ready to ride,
too, and is wearing proper gear including a
helmet.
You don’t have any alcohol or drugs in
your system.
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.
０９／０９／１７ １１：１２：０６ ３１ＭＦＪ６３０ ００５１
Not wearing a helmet increases
the chance of serious injury or

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.
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 (USA only).
Always wear a face shield or goggles to
protect your eyes and help your vision.
Leather gloves to help protect your
hands.
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.

Loading
Load Limits & Guidelines
Before Riding
Your motorcycle 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 motorcycle
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 motorcycle’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
motorcycle, 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.

contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas
which can collect rapidly in an enclosed
area and cause illness or death.
Your motorcycle can be started with the
transmission in gear by pulling in the
clutch lever before operating the starter.
Your motorcycle is equipped with a side
stand ignition cut-off system. If the side
stand is down –– the engine cannot be
started unless the transmission is in neutral.
If the side stand is up –– the engine can be
started in neutral, or in gear with the
clutch lever pulled in. After starting with
the side stand down, the engine will stop if
the transmission is put in gear before
raising the side stand.
Before starting, insert the key, turn the
ignition switch ON, and confirm the
following:
The transmission is in neutral (neutral
indicator is ON).
The engine stop switch is set to RUN.
The low oil pressure indicator is ON.
The PGM-FI malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) is OFF.
The high coolant temperature
indicator is OFF.

57
Shifting Gears
Basic Operation & Riding
Learning when to shift gears comes with
experience. Keep the following tips in
mind:
Close the throttle and pull the clutch
lever in completely before shifting.
Improper shifting may damage the
engine, transmission, and drive train.
Learn to recognize the engagement
point as you release the clutch lever. It
is at this point the transmission of
power to the rear wheel resumes.
Upshift to a higher gear or reduce
throttle before engine rpm (speed) gets
too high. Learn the relationship between
engine sound and the normal shifting
points.
As a general rule, shift while moving in
a straight line.
Downshift to a lower gear before you
feel the engine laboring (lugging) at
low rpm.
Your motorcycle has six forward gears in
a one-down, five-up shift pattern which is
coordinated with a cable-operated clutch
system.

０９／０９／１７ １１：１４：１８ ３１ＭＦＪ６３０ ００６６
58
Shifting Gears
Basic Operation & Riding
Shifting Up:
Shifting Down:
Avoid downshifting to help slow your
motorcycle when engine rpm is near its
allowable maximum (near the
tachometer red zone). In this situation,
the rev limiter in the engine ignition
control module may not prevent
excessive engine speed which could
damage the engine.
To prevent transmission damage, do not
coast or tow the motorcycle for long
distances with the engine off.
Recommended Shift Points
Ride in the highest gear that lets the
engine run and accelerate smoothly. This
will give you good fuel economy and
effective emissions control. When
changing gears under normal conditions,
use these recommended shift points:
From 1st to 2nd:
From 2nd to 3rd:
From 3rd to 4th:
From 4th to 5th:
From 5th to 6th:
12 mph (20 km/h)
19 mph (30 km/h)
25 mph (40 km/h)
31 mph (50 km/h)
37 mph (60 km/h)
From 6th to 5th:
From 5th to 4th:
From 4th to 3rd:
28 mph (45 km/h)
22 mph (35 km/h)
16 mph (25 km/h)
Pull the clutch lever in when speed drops
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when engine
roughness is evident, or when engine
stalling is imminent; and shift down to 1st
gear for acceleration.
０９／０９／１７ １１：１４：２８ ３１ＭＦＪ６３０ ００６７
59
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
As a general rule, the front braking system
provides about 70 percent of total stopping
power.
For full braking effectiveness, use both
the lever and pedal simultaneously. Using
both braking systems will stop your
motorcycle faster with greater stability.
Your motorcycle is equipped with disc
braking systems which are hydraulically
activated. Operating the brake lever
applies the two front disc brakes.
Depressing the brake pedal applies the rear
disc brake.
０９／０９／１７ １１：１４：３３ ３１ＭＦＪ６３０ ００６８
60
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
To slow or stop, apply the brake lever and
brake pedal smoothly, while downshifting
to match your speed.
Gradually increase braking as you feel the
brakes slowing your speed. The increase
in engine compression from downshifting
will help slow your motorcycle.
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 have finished braking.
Applying the brakes too hard may cause
the wheels to lock and slide, reducing
control of your motorcycle. If this happens,
release the brake controls, steer straight
ahead until you regain control, then
reapply the brakes more gently.
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 motorcycle.
０９／０９／１７ １１：１４：３９ ３１ＭＦＪ６３０ ００６９
61
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 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 engine compression braking by
downshifting, with intermittent use of
both brakes. Continuous brake
application can overheat the brakes and
reduce their effectiveness.
Riding with your foot resting on the
brake pedal or your hand on the brake
lever may actuate the brakelight, giving
a false indication to other drivers. It
may also overheat the brakes, reducing
effectiveness.

Combined ABS
Basic Operation & Riding
Braking
This model is equipped with Combined
ABS (Combined Anti-lock Brake System).
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the
system performs a self-analysis and when
the vehicle speed reaches 6 mph (10 km/h)
the system starts to operate and remains on
while riding. Combined ABS is self-
checking.
Combined ABS is an electrically
integrated system consisting of the
Combined Brake System and Anti-lock
Brake System. Combined ABS controls
braking force by accurately monitoring the
amount of force applied to the brakes and
wheel speed. It balances the front-to-rear
braking distribution, and has an anti-lock
function designed to help prevent wheel
lock up during hard braking. Moreover,
Combined ABS helps provide more riding
stability when braking hard and suddenly.
Although the wheel may not lock up, if
you are braking too hard in a turn, the
motorcycle can still lose traction causing a
loss of control. In general, you’ll achieve
the best results by braking while running
in a straight line.
Even if the front brake lever and the rear
brake pedal are operated independently,
the brake force is distributed appropriately
to the front and the rear. However, for full
braking effectiveness, use both the lever
and pedal simultaneously, as you would
with a conventional motorcycle braking
system.
(CBR600RR ABS)
０９／０９／１７ １１：１４：５０ ３１ＭＦＪ６３０ ００７１
63
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
In some situations, a motorcycle with
Combined ABS may require a longer
stopping distance to stop on loose or
uneven surfaces than an equivalent
motorcycle without Combined ABS.
Combined ABS cannot make up for road
conditions, bad judgment, or improper
operation of the brakes, and cannot stop
rear wheel lift completely. It is still your
responsibility to ride at reasonable speeds
for weather, road surface, and traffic
conditions, and to leave a margin of safety.
The anti-lock brake function of the
Combined ABS may be activated by
riding over a sharp drop or rise in the
road level while operating the brake.
It is important to follow the tire
recommendations (page ). The
Combined ABS computer works by
comparing wheel speed. Non-
recommended tires can affect wheel
speed and may confuse the Combined
ABS computer.
Combined ABS does not function at
low speeds (approximately 4 mph (6
km/h)orbelow).
Combined ABS does not function if the
battery is discharged.
Combined ABS does not function if the
ABS main or the ABS motor fuses are
blown.

Combined ABS Indicator
Basic Operation & Riding
Braking
When Combined ABS does not
function, the brakes work like a
conventional braking system. On
conventional braking systems, operating
the front brake lever applies the front
brake and operating the rear pedal
applies the rear brake.
You may feel a change in the way the
brake lever/pedal reacts when it is
operated under the following conditions:
Immediately after turning the ignition
switch ON
After braking to a stop
Normally, this indicator comes on when
the ignition is turned ON, and goes off
after you ride the motorcycle at a speed
above 6 mph (10 km/h). If there is a

Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
If the Combined ABS indicator lights or
flashes and remains on while riding, stop
the motorcycle in a safe place and turn off
the engine.
Turn the ignition ON again. The indicator
should come on, and go off after you ride
the motorcycle at a speeds above 6 mph
(10 km/h). If it does not go off, Combined
ABS is not functioning, but the brakes still
provide normal stopping ability like a
conventional braking system. However,
you should have the system checked by
your Honda dealer as soon as possible.
The Combined ABS indicator may flash
if:
The front wheel leaves the ground for 1
second or more.
Either brake is applied continuously
from 0 mph (0 km/h) to 31 mph (50
km/h).
You turn the rear wheel while the
motorcycle is uplight on the stand.
This is normal but the Combined ABS is
not in operation. To activate the system
again, turn the ignition OFF, then ON
again.

Parking
Basic Operation & Riding
Catalytic Converter
Look for a level parking area. If you
can’t park on a paved surface, make
sure the ground surface is firm,
especially under the side stand.
If you must park on a hill, leave the
transmission in gear and position the
rear tire against the curb at a 45 degree
angle.
To lower the side stand, use your foot
to guide it down. Remember that
lowering the side stand with the
transmission in gear will stop the
engine, even if the clutch lever is
pulled in. That is a function of the
side stand ignition cut-off system.
Use the side stand to support the
motorcycle while parked.
Check that the side stand is down all
the way so that the side stand ignition
cut-off system (page ) is activated.
If you have to park on a soft surface,
insert something solid under the side
stand for support.
Make sure flammable materials such as
dry grass or leaves do not come in
contact with the exhaust system when
parking your motorcycle. Refer to
,page .
To avoid possible heat damage to your
motorcycle or personal belongings, do not
cover the exhaust muffler with a
protective cover or any clothing within 20
minutes after shutting off the engine.

Theft-prevention Tips
Parking
Basic Operation & Riding
Park your motorcycle 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.
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 motorcycle to a waiting truck.
In addition to the steering lock, use a
good quality anti-theft device made
specifically to lock a motorcycle to a
secure object.
If you decide to use an anti-theft device,
select one of good quality and be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The rear fender has a storage
compartment to store a U-shaped lock
under the rear seat. Some U-shaped
locks may not be stored in the
compartment due to their size or design.
Keep your owner’s manual, current
registration, and insurance information
with your motorcycle. This will make it
easier for the authorities to find you if
your motorcycle is stolen and recovered.

Riding with a Passenger or Cargo
Basic Operation & Riding
Load Limits,
Loading
Guidelines,
Your motorcycle is a high-performance
sport model designed to carry you and one
passenger. Whenever you add a passenger
or cargo, you must be careful not to
exceed the total load limits for this vehicle
( page ). Make sure your
cargo is properly secured (
page ).
Also consider adjusting the suspension
(page ) for the extra load.
Be aware that carrying a passenger or
heavy cargo can affect acceleration,
braking, and handling.
Tell your passenger to hold the seat strap
or your waist, lean with you in the turns,
and keep their feet on the passenger
footpegs at all times, even when the
motorcycle is stopped at a traffic light.
Before riding with a passenger, make sure
your passenger is wearing the proper
protective apparel (page ). Also check
that your passenger is not wearing any
loose apparel that might get caught in the
drive chain.49

The Importance of Maintenance
Servicing Your Honda
Keeping your motorcycle 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 motorcycle will also
help to reduce air pollution.
Remember, proper maintenance is the
owner’s responsibility. Be sure to inspect
your motorcycle before each ride, perform
the periodic checks, and follow the
Maintenance Schedule in this section.
If your motorcycle overturns or is
involved in a crash, be sure your Honda
dealer inspects all major parts, even if you
areabletomakesomeoftherepairs
yourself.

This section includes instructions on how
to perform some important maintenance
tasks. If you have basic mechanical skills,
you can perform many of these tasks with
the tools provided with your motorcycle.
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.

Important Safety Precautions
Maintenance Safety
Servicing Your Honda
Carbon monoxide poisoning from
engine exhaust.
Burns from hot motorcycle 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 motorcycle from
falling over, park it on a firm, level
surface, using the side 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.

Fuel Recommendation
Fuel
Servicing Your Honda
Safety PrecautionsRefer to on page .
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.
Use only unleaded fuel in your Honda.
The use of leaded fuel will damage the
catalytic converter(s). If you ride your
Honda in a country where leaded fuel
might be available, take precautions to use
only unleaded fuel.
Your engine is designed to use any
unleaded premium gasoline that has a
pump octane number of 91 or higher.
Gasoline pumps at service stations
normally display the pump octane number.
For information on the use of oxygenated
fuels, see page .

Engine Oil & Filter
Servicing Your Honda
Engine oil quality is a major factor that
affects both the performance and the
service life of the engine.
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.
Change the engine oil as specified in the
maintenance schedule on page .

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.
Your motorcycle’s liquid cooling system
dissipates engine heat through the coolant
jacket that surrounds the cylinder and
cylinder head.
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.
Maintaining the coolant will allow the
cooling system to work properly and
prevent freezing, overheating, and
corrosion.
The factory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and water in this motorcycle.
This coolant solution is recommended for
most operating temperatures and provides
good corrosion protection.
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.

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, hydraulic damping devices,
and linkages (rear only) that suspend your
weight and most of the weight of your
motorcycle.
The spring pre-loads for your front and
rear suspension systems adjust the amount
of force required to begin compression of
the spring.
Consider adjusting your suspension
whenever you change your normal load,
by adding or subtracting a passenger,
cargo, or accessories, or when the road or
riding conditions change.
The oil damper systems hydraulically
control the natural compression and
rebound of the suspension springs so that
traction and comfort are maintained as the
wheels ride over road surfaces.
The way you ride your motorcycle and the
type of ride you want to experience can
also influence your suspension needs.
You may adjust the spring pre-load and
the rebound and compression damping of
both suspension systems.

Front Suspension Adjustment
Suspension
Servicing Your Honda
Lower spring pre-load and softer damping
provide a softer ride and are usually
preferred for light loads and smooth roads.
Higher spring pre-load and firmer
damping provide a firmer ride and are
recommended for heavy loads, rough road
conditions, and faster, more challenging
riding.
The front suspension can be adjusted for
rider (and passenger) weight and riding

Brakes
Servicing Your Honda
Safety Precautions
The hydraulic braking systems on your
motorcycle dissipate the heat generated by
the friction of the brake pads on the brake
discs as the wheels are slowed.
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 or brake pedal 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.
Refer to on page .
The distance between the tip of the brake
lever and the grip may be adjusted.

Air Pressure
Tires
Servicing Your Honda
Safety Precautions
To safely operate your motorcycle, 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.
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 motorcycle ride harshly, are more
prone to damage from road hazards, and
wear unevenly.
Refer to on page .
Make sure the valve stem caps are secure.
If necessary, install new caps.

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.
Always check air pressure when your tires
are ‘‘cold’’, after the motorcycle has been
parked for at least three hours. If you
check air pressure when your tires are
‘‘warm’’ –– even if your motorcycle 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.
The recommended ‘‘cold’’ tire pressures
are:

Tire Service Life
Tires
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.

Drive Chain
Servicing Your Honda
An endless (riveted master link) chain
connects the countershaft and rear wheel
sprockets. The O-ring chain uses rubber
rings between the side plates of the pin
and roller links to seal in the
manufacturer-installed lubricating grease
and keep out moisture and dirt.
Under severe usage, or when the
motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty or
muddy areas, more frequent maintenance
will be necessary.
The service life of the chain depends on
proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor
maintenance can cause premature wear or
damage to the drive chain or sprockets.
The drive chain should be checked,
adjusted, and lubricated as part of the pre-
ride inspection (page ).
Before servicing your drive chain, turn the
engine OFF, lower the side stand, and
check that your transmission is in neutral.
It is not necessary to remove or replace the
drive chain to perform the recommended
service in the Maintenance Schedule.

Your battery is a maintenance-free type
and can be permanently damaged if the
cap strip is removed.
Battery
Charging,
Battery Storage,
Your motorcycle has a maintenance-free
type battery. You do not have to check the
battery electrolyte level or add distilled
water as you would with a conventional-
type battery.
If you do not expect to ride your
motorcycle for at least two weeks, we
recommend you remove the battery, or at
least disconnect the battery cables
(negative cable first).
Electrical accessories use current from the
battery, even when the ignition is OFF.
Limited operation also allows the battery
to discharge. If you have electrical
accessories on your motorcycle or do not
ride frequently, we recommend that you
charge the battery frequently (see
page ).
If you plan to store your motorcycle, see
page .
If your battery seems weak and/or is
leaking electrolyte (causing slow starting
or other electrical problems), see your
Honda dealer.
Battery posts, terminals and
related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds.

０９／０９／１７ １１：２９：０２ ３１ＭＦＪ６３０ ０１７０
The battery gives off explosive
hydrogen gas during normal
operation.
A spark or flame can cause the
battery to explode with enough
force to kill or seriously hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled
mechanic do the battery
maintenance.

Servicing Your Honda
Safety Precautions
Battery Charging,
Refer to on page .
If you plan to store your motorcycle, we
recommend you remove the battery and
store it where it can be charged at least
every 30 days to maintain its service life.
If you do not remove the battery, we
recommend disconnecting the battery
cables (negative cable first).
You will get the best storage results from
removing the battery and slow charging it
every 30 days (see

General Recommendations
Appearance Care
Servicing Your Honda
Safety Precautions
Frequent cleaning and polishing will keep
your Honda looking newer longer.
Frequent cleaning also identifies you as an
owner who values your motorcycle. A
clean motorcycle is also easier to inspect
and service.
Refer to on page .
To clean your motorcycle, you may use:
water
a mild, neutral detergent and water
a mild spray and wipe cleaner/
polisher
a mild spray and rinse cleaner/
degreaser and water
Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents that
could damage the metal, paint, and
plastic on your motorcycle.
If your motorcycle is still warm from
recent operation, give the engine and
exhaust system time to cool off.
Park in a shady area. Washing your
motorcycle 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 motorcycle regularly to
protect surface finishes.

Clean the windscreen with a soft cloth
or sponge and plenty of water. Dry with
a soft clean cloth. Remove minor
scratches with a commercially available
plastic polishing compound.
Take care to keep brake fluid or
chemical solvents off the fairing. They
will damage the plastic.
Clean the headlight, fairing, meter lens
and other plastic parts using a cloth or
sponge dampened with a solution of
mild detergent and water. When
cleaning the plastic headlight lens, use
more care because it will scratch easier
than a glass lens. Rub any soiled area,
gently rinsing it frequently with fresh
water.
If the inside of the headlight lens
appears clouded immediately after
washing, it should clear after a few
minutes of riding.

Tips
Owning and riding a motorcycle can be
enjoyable, but you must do your part to
protect nature.
Following are tips on how you can be an
environmentally responsible motorcycle
owner.
Use a
biodegradable detergent when you wash
your motorcycle. 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.
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.

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
side 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 Motorcycle 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
motorcycle 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.
179
０９／０９／１７ １１：３３：００ ３１ＭＦＪ６３０ ０１９７
Riding your motorcycle 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.
189
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 motorcycle (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?

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 coolant temperature display begins
to flash and the high coolant temperature
indicator comes on for no apparent reason,
pull safely to the side of the road. If
possible, park in a shady area.

If Your Engine Overheats
Taking Care of the Unexpected
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 motorcycle to a Honda dealer
(page ).
If the temperature drops to normal,
check the coolant level. If it has gone
down, add more coolant.
If you are able to resume riding, continue
to monitor the meter frequently.
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
motorcycle to a Honda dealer (page ).
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 coolant
temperature display flashes and the high
coolant temperature indicator comes on,
turn the engine off.
If the radiator fan is working, visually
check the coolant level in the reserve
tank, located behind the lower cowl
(page ). It isn’t necessary to touch
the radiator system.

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.
If the indicator comes on while you’re
riding, don’t ignore it. Pull safely to the
side of the road. If possible, pull the clutch
lever in and coast to a stop. Stop the
engine as soon as it’s safe to do so.
Check for an oil leak.
Then check the oil level. If necessary,
add the recommended oil (page ) to
the upper level mark. If you must leave
your motorcycle 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 motorcycle 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
motorcycle have fuses to protect them
from damage caused by excess current
flow (short circuit or overload).
If something electrical on your motorcycle
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.
Main fuse (and spare) are located on the
starter motor magnetic switch under the
front seat.
The circuit fuse box (including spare
fuses) is located under the front seat.
Recommended Fuses
(cont’d)
To prevent an accidental short circuit,
turn the ignition switch OFF before
checking or replacing the fuses.
Remove the front seat (page ).

If You Crash
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Transporting Your Motorcycle,
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 motorcycle
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 motorcycle cannot be ridden, see
page .
If you decide that you are capable of
riding safely, first evaluate the condition
of your motorcycle. 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.

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 motorcycle 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.
You should receive a key number plate

Warranty Compliance
Source of Exhaust EmissionsNoise Emission Requirements
Compliance with the terms of the
Distributor’s Warranties for Honda
Motorcycle Emission Control Systems is
necessary in order to keep the emissions
system warranty in effect. (USA only)
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 carbon monoxide,
oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.
The EPA also requires that motorcycles
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.

Emission Control Systems
Technical Information
Ignition Timing Control System
PGM-FI System
Exhaust Emission Control System
The system constantly adjusts the ignition
timing, reducing the amount of HC, CO
and NOx produced.
The PGM-FI system uses dual sequential
fuel injection. It 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 to inject under all
operating conditions.
The exhaust emission control system
includes an oxidation catalyst, a secondary
air supply system, and a PGM-FI system.
No adjustment to these systems should be
made although periodic inspection of all
components is recommended.

Secondary Air Injection System
Evaporative Emission Control System
(California only)
Technical Information
Emission Control Systems
Oxidation Catalytic Converter
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.
The oxidation catalytic converter is in the
exhaust system. Through chemical
reactions, they convert HC and CO in the
engine’s exhaust to carbon dioxide (CO )
and water vapor.
This motorcycle 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
absorbed 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.

Catalytic Converter
Technical Information
This motorcycle is equipped with an
oxidation 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 and
CO. 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 motorcycle away from high
grasses, dry leaves, or other flammables.
A defective catalytic converter contributes
to air pollution, and can impair your
engine’s performance. Follow these
guidelines to protect your motorcycle’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
motorcycle.
If your engine is misfiring, backfiring,
stalling, or otherwise not running
properly, stop riding and turn off the
engine. Have your motorcycle serviced
as soon as possible.

Oxygenated Fuels
Technical Information
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 and Canada use
oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.
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.
０９／０９／１７ １１：３８：５７ ３１ＭＦＪ６３０ ０２４２
