Fuel Recommendation

Servicing Your Honda
Safety PrecautionsRefer to on page .
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 .
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
dealer.
