Fuel Recommendation
Servicing Your Honda
Fuel
Safety PrecautionsRefer to on page .
Use only unleaded fuel in your Honda. 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 gasoline that has a pump
octane number of 86 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.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.
