Take Time to Learn & Practice
Ride Defensively
Always Wear a Helmet
Motorcycle Safety
Important Safety Information
You and Your Motorcycle Riding Tips,
Your 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.
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.
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).
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 ).44

Motorcycle Safety
Make Yourself Easy to See
Ride within Your Limits
Don’t Drink and Ride
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
Important Safety Information
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.
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.
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.
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 ).

Accessories
Motorcycle Safety
Accessories & Modifications
Load Limits,
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.
Carefully consider the weight of any accessories and any cargo stored in
those accessories to avoid exceeding the maximum weight limits.
For more information, see 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.
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 ).
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.
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 dealer for assistance and always follow these guidelines:
Modifying the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) or any other part of
your motorcycle’s safety systems could make the systems ineffective
(page ).

Modifications
Motorcycle Safety
Accessories & Modifications
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.

Protective Apparel
Are You Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
Before you ride your motorcycle for the first time, we urge you to:
Before each ride, be sure:
Make sure your passenger is ready to ride, too, and is wearing proper gear
including a helmet.
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.
You don’t have any alcohol or drugs in your system.
You are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet (with chin strap tightened
securely), eye protection, and other protective clothing.
If you are not riding with a passenger and want to carry an extra helmet, use a
commercially-available elastic cord, strap, or net to secure the helmet to the seat.
Thetraveltrunkmayalsobeusedtostoreanextrahelmet.
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.
１１／０１／１９ １１：５４：４２ ３１ＭＣＡ７００ ００５１
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.
45
Are You Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
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.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.
Leather gloves to help protect your hands.
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
motorcycle.

Rider Training
Are You Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
Riding Tips
Developing your riding skills is an on-going process. Even if you have ridden
other motorcycles, take time to become familiar with how this motorcycle works
and handles. Practice riding the motorcycle in a safe area to build your skills. Do
not ride in traffic until you get accustomed to the motorcycle’s controls, and feel
comfortable with its size and weight.
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.
Other riding tips can be found in the booklet that came with your
motorcycle (USA only).

Improperly maintaining this
motorcycle or failing to correct a
problem before riding can cause

Before each ride, it’s important to inspect your motorcycle 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 motorcycle:
Walk around your motorcycle and look for anything that appears
unusual, such as a leak or loose cable.
Make sure the headlight, brakelight, taillight, and turn signals are
working properly.
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.203

Rotate the throttle to check it moves smoothly without binding.
Pull the brake lever and press on the brake pedal to check that
they operate normally.
Turn the ignition on and check for normal operation of the
indicators (page ).
Check the fuel level and other gauges (page ).
If you haven’t ridden the motorcycle in over a week, you should also check
other items, such as the oil level and other fluids. See

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.
１１／０１／１９ １１：５５：２１ ３１ＭＣＡ７００ ００５６

Loading Guidelines
Load Limits & Guidelines
Before Riding
Improperly loading your motorcycle can affect its stability and handling. Even
if your motorcycle is properly loaded, you should ride at reduced speeds and
never exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) when carrying cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a passenger or cargo:
Check that both tires are properly inflated (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 motorcycle as
possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.
If you change your normal load, you may need to adjust the rear suspension
(page ).
Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a sleeping bag or tent) to the
handlebar, forks, or fender.
Make sure all cargo compartments are securely closed.
Check the headlight beam adjustment if you change your normal load.

71
Preparation
Starting & Stopping the Engine
Basic Operation & Riding
Always follow the proper starting procedure described below.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area such
as a garage. Your motorcycle’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide
gas which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death.
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.
Your motorcycle can be started with the transmission in gear by pulling in the
clutch lever before operating the starter.
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 ABS indicator light is ON (models equipped with ABS).
The PGM-FI malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is OFF.
The airbag indicator is OFF (models equipped with Airbag).
The low oil pressure indicator and airbag indicator (models equipped with
Airbag) should go off a few seconds after the engine starts. If the low oil
pressure indicator lights during operation, stop the engine immediately and
check the engine oil level.
If the airbag indicator stays on or lights during operation, have your motorcycle
inspected as soon as possible by an authorized Honda dealer (models equipped
with Airbag).

Starting Procedure
Flooded Engine
Starting & Stopping the Engine
Basic Operation & Riding
If Your Engine Quits or Won’t Start,
This motorcycle has a fuel-injected engine with an automatic fast idle. Follow
the procedure indicated below.
Any Air Temperature
Press the start button with the throttle completely closed.
The engine will not start if the throttle is fully open (because the electronic
control module cuts off the fuel supply).
If the engine still won’t start, refer to
page .
If the engine does not start, wait 10 seconds, then follow steps again.
If the engine starts, open the throttle slightly if idling is unstable.
Follow the normal starting procedure.
Press the start button for 5 seconds.
Open the throttle fully.
Leave the engine stop switch set to RUN.
If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, it may be flooded with excess
fuel. To clear a flooded engine:
Snapping the throttle or fast idling for more than about 5 minutes at normal air
temperature may cause exhaust pipe discoloration.

Bank Angle Sensor Ignition Cut-off System
How to Stop the Engine
Starting & Stopping the Engine
Basic Operation & Riding
Your motorcycle’s banking (lean angle) sensor system is designed to
automatically stop the engine and fuel pump if the motorcycle is overturned.
Before restarting the engine, you must turn the ignition switch to the OFF
position and then back to ON. The engine will not restart until you perform this
procedure.
Normal Engine Stop
To stop the engine, shift into neutral and turn the ignition switch OFF.
The engine stop switch should normally remain in the RUN position even when
the engine is OFF.
Emergency Engine Stop
To stop the engine in an emergency, use the engine stop switch. To operate, turn
the switch to the OFF position.
If your motorcycle is stopped with the ignition switch ON and the engine stop
switch OFF, the headlight and taillight will remain on, resulting in battery
discharge.
１１／０１／１９ １１：５８：３１ ３１ＭＣＡ７００ ００８０
74
Shifting Gears
Basic Operation & Riding
Your motorcycle has five forward gears in a one-down, four-up shift pattern
which is coordinated with a hydraulically actuated clutch system.
Learning when to shift gears comes with experience. Keep the following tips in
mind:
As a general rule, shift while moving in a straight line.
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.
Downshift to a lower gear before you feel the engine laboring (lugging) at
low rpm.
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.

While You Are Riding
Shifting Gears
Basic Operation & Riding
Shifting Up:
Shifting Down:
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:
12 mph (20 km/h)
19 mph (30 km/h)
25 mph (40 km/h)
31 mph (50 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.
While you are riding, occasionally check your gauges and indicators. Continuing
to ride with the low oil pressure indicator (red) on or the coolant temperature
gauge needle at the H (hot) mark can cause serious engine damage. Also keep an
eye on the fuel gauge and the low fuel indicator.

Riding in Reverse
Basic Operation & Riding
Your motorcycle’s reverse system allows you to back out of a parking position
at slow speed.
Make sure there are no obstacles or people in the area. Avoid steep or uneven
surfaces. Carrying a passenger while reversing is not recommended because it
makes balance and control more difficult to maintain.
Sit astride the motorcycle, in your normal riding position, with both feet on
the ground.
Make sure the transmission is in neutral (neutral indicator is ON) and the side
stand is up.
Start the engine. (Make sure the RVS switch is OFF.)
Push the RVS switch to ON, then make sure the reverse system indicator
comes on.
When you are ready to back up, push the start/reverse button and hold it in.
The motorcycle will move in reverse as long as you hold the button in.
To prevent battery discharge, do not push the start/reverse button more than a
minute.
Guide the motorcycle backward cautiously, using your legs to maintain
balance.
Use extreme care to maintain balance while reversing on loose surfaces (sand,
dirt, gravel) or grease-covered pavement.

Riding in Reverse
Basic Operation & Riding
To avoid damaging the reverse system, do not engage or disengage reverse
when the motorcycle is moving.
Release the start/reverse button, and the motorcycle will stop.
After your motorcycle is stopped, push the RVS switch to OFF. Make sure
the reverse gear indicator goes off and the neutral indicator comes on.
If the reverse switch is in the ON position with the engine off, the engine cannot
be started.
Reverse System Overload
The reverse system is designed to move the motorcycle at a constant slow speed.
If the motorcycle begins moving slower or faster than this speed, because of
obstacles or a steep pavement angle, the system will shut off and the reverse
system indicator will turn OFF.
To resume reverse operation or normal forward operation, push the RVS switch
to the OFF position and carefully roll the motorcycle to a more level,
unobstructed surface, then start again.

78
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Your motorcycle is equipped with Dual CBS (Linked Braking System).
Operating the front brake lever applies the front brake and a portion of the rear
brake. Operating the rear brake pedal applies the rear brake and a portion of the
front brake. For full braking effectiveness, use both the lever and pedal
simultaneously, as you would with a conventional motorcycle braking system.

Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
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.
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.
As with a conventional motorcycle braking system, excessively hard application
of the brake controls may cause wheel lock, reducing control of the motorcycle.

Combined ABS
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
ABS may also be activated by braking while riding over a sharp drop or rise in
the road level.
ABS is self-checking and is always on.
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.
In some situations, a motorcycle with ABS may require a longer stopping
distance to stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an equivalent motorcycle
without ABS.
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 motorcycle can still lose traction, causing a loss of
control.

ABS Indicator Light
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
ABS does not function if the battery is discharged.
It is important to follow the tire recommendations (see 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 at very low speeds (approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) or
below).
Normally, this light comes on when the ignition is turned ON and goes off after
starting to ride. If there is an ABS problem, the indicator light comes on and
remains on or blinks. The ABS system does not operate when the ABS indicator
light is on or blinking.

Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
If the ABS indicator light blinks while riding, stop the motorcycle in a safe
place and turn off the engine. Turn the ignition ON again. The light should
come on, and then go off after starting to ride. If it does not go off or if it blinks
again, ABS is not functioning.
However, Dual CBS (Linked Braking System) will still provide normal stopping
ability, but you should have the ABS system checked by your dealer as soon as
possible.
A red LED is used for the ABS indicator light. Be sure that the LED lights when
the ignition is ON. If the LED fails to light, see your dealer.
The ABS indicator may blink if you place the motorcycle on its center stand and
turn the rear wheel. This is normal. Turn the ignition OFF to stop the blinking.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Basic Operation & Riding
As required by the FCC (USA only):
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device also complies with Industry Canada Standard RSS-210.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Your motorcycle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that turns on every time you start the engine and it monitors the pressure in your
tires while riding.
Each tire has its own pressure sensor. If the air pressure of a tire becomes
significantly low while riding, the sensor in that tire sends a signal that causes
the low tire pressure indicator to turn on.

low tire pressure indicator
84
Low Tire Pressure Indicator
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Basic Operation & Riding
If You Have a Flat Tire
If the low tire pressure indicator flashes, check your tires as soon as possible.
If the low tire pressure indicator lights constantly, one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible. For more information on temporary repair, see
on page .
Check the air pressure when the tires are cold. This means the motorcycle has
been parked for at least 3 hours. Add or release air, if needed, to match the
recommended cold tire pressures on page .
When the low tire pressure indicator flashes or lights, but you continue to ride,
the low tire pressure indicator will go off in some cases. It is still necessary to
check the air pressures of both tires after the tires cool. Air in the tires is
expanded with heat.
If the low tire pressure indicator does not turn off after inflating the tires to the
specified values, have your Honda dealer to check the system as soon as
possible.
Riding on a underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the motorcycle’s handling and stopping ability.

85
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Basic Operation & Riding
Because tire pressure varies by temperature and other conditions, the low tire
pressure indicator may turn on unexpectedly.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it
is the rider’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-
inflation has not reached the level of turning on the low tire pressure indicator.
For example, if you check and fill your tires in a warm area, then ride in
extremely cold weather, the tire pressure will be lower than measured and could
be underinflated and cause the low tire pressure indicator to turn on. Or, if you
check and adjust your tire pressure in cooler conditions, and ride into extremely
hot conditions, the tire may become overinflated. However, the low tire pressure
indicator will not turn on if the tires are overinflated.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator comes on and stays on if
there is a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system.
If this happens, the system will shut off and no longer monitor tire pressure.
Have the system checked by your Honda dealer as soon as possible.
Also the TPMS indicator may light for the following reasons:
Interference of other electronic devices by using the same radio frequency.
Using replacement wheels not equipped with tire pressure sensors.

Changing a Tire with TPMS
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Basic Operation & Riding
Using a puncture-repairing agent can damage the TPMS sensors, causing the
TPMS indicator to turn on. Have you motorcycle checked by your Honda
dealer as soon as possible.
Use caution to not damage the TPMS sensor if an internal plug patch must be
used to repair the tire. If you have a tire professionally repaired at a non-
Honda facility, we recommend that you have the work checked by your Honda
dealer. TPMS wheels require special handling when changing the tire. Failure
to follow the proper tire replacement procedure can result in damage to the
TPMS sensor.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire
behind the valve stem. You must use TPMS specific wheels. Always have your
tires serviced by your Honda dealer.

Parking
Basic Operation & Riding
Catalytic Converters
Look for a level parking area. If you can’t park on a paved surface, make sure
the ground surface is firm.
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 .
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.
Use the side or center stand to support the motorcycle while parked.
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.
Check that the side stand is down all the way. The side stand indicator only
indicates that the side stand ignition cut-off system (page ) is activated.
To lower the center stand, stand on the left side of the motorcycle. Hold the
passenger handgrip attached to the seat. Press down on the tip of the stand
with your right foot and, simultaneously, pull up and back on the passenger
handgrip.
Use the steering lock, which locks the handlebar in place. Turn the handlebar
all the way to the left or right. Push in on the ignition key and turn it to LOCK.
Remove the key.
(To unlock the steering lock, insert and push the key in and turn it to the right

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.
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.

Cruise Control
Riding with Cruise Control
Basic Operation & Riding
The cruise control system allows you to maintain a steady speed between
30 100 mph (48 161 km/h). When cruise control is on, your speed will still
vary slightly, particularly going up and down hills.
Cruise control is intended for use only on straight, uncongested highways. Do
not use cruise control on city streets, winding roads, during bad weather, or at
any other time when you need total control of the throttle.

Riding in Bad Weather
Basic Operation & Riding
If you decide to ride your motorcycle in the rain, fog, or other bad-weather
conditions, ride carefully. Wet road surfaces reduce traction, especially in turns,
and increase stopping distances when you brake.
If the weather turns bad while you are riding, take extra care and do not use
cruise control.
When riding in the rain, we recommend you adjust your windscreen height
below eye level, if possible, for better visibility (page ).
Avoid using any kind of water-dispersing product on the windscreen. It will
damage the plastic.

TUNE and SEEK functions to find other stations.
If you are in a remote area, Auto Select may not find six strong AM stations or
twelve strong FM stations. If this happens, you will see a ‘‘0’’ displayed when
you push any preset button that does not have a station stored.
To activate Auto Select, push the A.SEL RPT/RDM button. A.SEL RPT/RDM
will appear in the display, and the system will go into scan mode for several
seconds.
It automatically scans both bands, looking for stations with strong signals. It
stores the frequencies of six AM stations and twelve FM stations in the preset
buttons (page ). You can then use the preset buttons to select those stations.
Auto Select does not erase the frequencies that you preset previously. When you

As required by the FCC:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
There may be other geographic situations, parking conditions, and also installing
metallic or metalized accessories near the windscreen could affect XM Radio
reception.
Riding on the north side of an east/west mountain road.
Riding on the north side of a large commercial truck on an east/west road.
Riding in tunnels.
Riding on a road beside a vertical wall, steep cliff, or hill to the south of you.
Riding on the lower level of a multi-tiered road.
Riding on a single-lane road alongside dense trees taller than 50 ft. (15 m) to

The XM satellites are in orbit over the equator; therefore, objects south of the
vehicle may cause satellite reception interruptions. To help compensate for this,
ground-based repeaters are placed in major metropolitan areas.
Satellite signals are more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and mountains
the farther north you travel from the equator. Carrying large items on a travel
trunk can also block the signal.

The Importance of Maintenance
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 dealer
inspects all major parts, even if you are able to make some of the repairs
yourself.
１１／０１／１９ １２：０９：５１ ３１ＭＣＡ７００ ０１５９
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.

Servicing Your Honda
Maintenance Safety
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
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Burns from hot motorcycle parts.
Injury from moving parts.
Servicing Your Honda
Maintenance Safety
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.
Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and
skills required.
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.
To help prevent the motorcycle from falling over, park it on a firm, level
surface, using the center stand.
Remember that your Honda dealer knows your motorcycle best and is fully
equipped to maintain and repair it. To ensure the best quality and reliability, use
only new Honda Genuine Parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.
If you have the tools and skills required for additional maintenance jobs, you
can purchase an official Honda Service Manual (page ).270

Servicing Your Honda
Periodic Maintenance
Check the odometer reading and perform any scheduled maintenance checks
that are needed (page ). Remember, more frequent checks may be needed for
riding in severe conditions.
Fluids
Make sure the headlight, brakelight, taillight, and turn
signals are working properly.
In addition to the regularly scheduled maintenance (page ) and daily pre-ride
inspection (page ), consider performing the periodic checks on the following
page at least once a month, even if you haven’t ridden your motorcycle, or as
often as once a week if you ride frequently or for long distances. It’s a good idea
to perform this maintenance any time you clean your motorcycle.
Check the levels of the engine oil (page ), coolant
(page ), brake fluid (page ), clutch fluid
(page ), and final drive oil (page ). Add the
correct fluid as necessary, and investigate the cause of
any low fluid level.
Lights
Check the air pressure with a gauge and add air if needed
(page ).
Examine the tread for wear (page ).
Look closely for nails, embedded objects, cuts, and other
types of damage (page ). Rotate the rear wheel so
you can inspect the entire surface.
Check the condition of the wheels.
Fuses Make sure you have a full supply of spare fuses.
Nuts & Bolts Check the major fasteners and tighten as needed.

Maintenance Schedule
The required Maintenance Schedule that follows specifies how often you should
have your motorcycle serviced, and what things need attention. It is essential to
have your motorcycle serviced as scheduled to maintain safe, dependable
performance and proper emission control.
The service intervals in this Maintenance Schedule are based on average riding
conditions. Some items will need more frequent service if you ride in unusually
wet or dusty areas or at full throttle. Consult your dealer for recommendations
applicable to your individual needs and use.
Some items in the Maintenance Schedule can be performed with basic
mechanical skills and hand tools. Procedures for these items are provided in this
manual. Other items involve more extensive procedures and may require special
training, tools, and equipment. We recommend that you have your dealer
perform these tasks unless you have advanced mechanical skills and the required
tools and equipment. Procedures for such items in this schedule are provided in
an official Honda Service Manual available for purchase (page ).270

Fuel Recommendation
Fuel
Servicing Your Honda
Safety PrecautionsRefer to on page .
Use only unleaded fuel in your Honda. Use of leaded fuel will damage the
catalytic converter(s). If you ride your Honda in a country where leaded fuel
might be available, use 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.

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.
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 .
When running in very dusty conditions, oil changes should be performed more
frequently than specified in the maintenance schedule.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Rear Suspension Adjustment
Rear Suspension Spring Pre-load Adjustment
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 motorcycle.
The spring pre-load for your rear suspension system adjusts the amount of force
required to begin compression of the spring.
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.
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.
The rear suspension can be adjusted for rider (and passenger) weight and riding
conditions by changing the spring pre-load.
Do not attempt to disassemble, service, or dispose of the damper; see your
dealer. The instructions found in this owner’s manual are limited to adjustments
of the shock assembly only.
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 motorcycle and the type of ride you want to experience
can also influence your suspension needs.
This rear suspension spring pre-load adjustment system functions only when the
ignition switch is ON or ACC, your motorcycle is stopped, and the transmission
is in neutral. (When the reverse indicator is ON, the system will not function.)
Rear suspension spring pre-load can be easily increased or decreased using the
rear suspension spring pre-load adjustment switch on the right fairing panel.
Then you can confirm the pre-load position with the multi information display.

Front Brake Lever Adjustment
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 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.
Turn the adjuster dial while pushing the brake lever forward.

Air Pressure
Tires
Servicing Your Honda
Safety PrecautionsRefer 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 motorcycle ride harshly, are more prone to damage from road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
Even though your motorcycle is equipped with tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS), 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.
See page for more information.
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:

If the wear indicators are visible, replace the tire immediately as it is no longer
safe.
Bumps or bulges in the side of the tire or the tread. Replace any tire that has a

Safety Precautions
If You Have a Flat Tire,
Using a puncture-repairing agent can damage the TPMS sensors, causing the
TPMS indicator to turn on. Have you motorcycle checked by your Honda
dealer as soon as possible.
Use caution to not damage the TPMS sensor if an internal plug patch must be
used to repair the tire. If you have a tire professionally repaired at a non-

dealer. TPMS wheels require special handling when changing the tire. Failure
to follow the proper tire replacement procedure can result in damage to the
TPMS sensor.
Refer to on page .
We strongly recommend that you replace, not repair, any tire that is punctured or
damaged. As discussed below, a tire that is repaired, either temporarily or
permanently, will have lower speed and performance limits than a new or
undamaged tire.
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

Have the tire replaced by your dealer.
Important Safety Reminders
Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tire on this motorcycle. Excessive heat
build-up can cause the tube to burst.
Use only tubeless tires on this motorcycle. The rims are designed for tubeless
tires, and during hard acceleration or braking, a tube-type tire could slip on
the rim and cause the tire to rapidly deflate.
Do not install car tires on this motorcycle. During installation the tire may
separate from the rim with enough force to cause serious injury or death.
When replacing tires, use only the recommended tires as shown above and on
the tire information label. Use of other tires on the model equipped with ABS
may impair proper ABS function. The ABS computer works by comparing
wheel speed.
Non-recommended tires can affect wheel speed and may confuse the ABS
computer.
If you ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match
those of the original wheels.
Be sure you use only TPMS-specific wheels. Not using TPMS-specific
wheels can cause an air leak, a tire pressure monitoring system failure, or both.
Replacement wheels are available at your dealer.

Battery
Servicing Your Honda
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.
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 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).
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 dealer.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds.
212
210
１１／０１／１９ １２：１７：３２ ３１ＭＣＡ７００ ０２１６
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.

General Recommendations
Appearance Care
Servicing Your Honda
Safety Precautions
High pressure water (or air) can damage certain parts of your motorcycle.
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:
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.
After cleaning, inspect for damage, wear, and leaks (fuel, oil, coolant, brake,
and clutch fluid).
The audio system is designed to be weatherproof unless it is sprayed directly
with hose.
We recommend the use of a garden hose to wash your motorcycle. High
pressure washers (like those at coin-operated car washes) can damage certain
parts of your motorcycle.

Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly with cool water to remove loose dirt.
Fill a bucket with cool water. Mix in a mild, neutral detergent, such as dish
washing liquid or a product made especially for washing motorcycles or
automobiles.
Wash your motorcycle with a sponge or a soft towel. As you wash, check for
heavy grime. If necessary, use a mild cleaner/degreaser to remove the grime.
If the inside of the headlight lens appears clouded immediately after washing,
it should clear after a few minutes of riding.
After washing, rinse your motorcycle thoroughly with plenty of clean water
to remove any residue. Detergent residue can corrode alloy parts.
Dry your motorcycle with a chamois or a soft towel. Leaving water on the
surface to air dry can cause dulling and water spots. As you dry, inspect for
chips and scratches.
Start the engine and let it idle for several minutes. The engine heat will help
dry moist areas.
As a precaution, ride your motorcycle at a slow speed and apply the brakes
several times. This will help dry the brakes and restore normal braking
performance.

If you won’t be riding for an extended period, such as during the winter,
thoroughly inspect your motorcycle and correct any problem before storing it.
That way, needed repairs won’t be forgotten and it will be easier to get your
motorcycle running again.
For more information about storage, refer to the
available from your dealer (USA only).
We suggest you perform the following procedures to keep your motorcycle in
top condition. These storage procedures will reduce the deterioration that can
occur during storage.
Change the engine oil and filter (page ).
Make sure the cooling system is filled with a 50/50% antifreeze solution
(page ).
Fill the fuel tank. Make sure the fuel fill cap is properly installed.
To prevent rusting in the cylinders, perform the following:
Remove the spark plug caps from the spark plugs. Using tape or string,
secure the caps to any convenient plastic body part so that they are
positioned away from the spark plugs.
Remove the spark plugs from the engine and store them in a safe place. Do
not connect the spark plugs to the spark plug caps.
This procedure requires a means for draining and disposing of drained fuel
(page ).

Tips
Recycle Wastes.
Choose Sensible Cleaners.
You & the Environment
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.
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.
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.

230
Taking Care of the Unexpected
If You Have a Flat Tire
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 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 your 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.

１１／０１／１９ １２：２０：３８ ３１ＭＣＡ７００ ０２３７
231
Types of Temporary Repairs
Taking Care of the Unexpected
If You Have a Flat Tire
Plug the hole:
Inflate the tire:
Using a puncture-repairing agent can damage the TPMS sensors, causing the
TPMS indicator to turn on. Have you motorcycle checked by your Honda
dealer as soon as possible.
Use caution to not damage the TPMS sensor if an internal plug patch must be
used to repair the tire. If you have a tire professionally repaired at a non-
Honda facility, we recommend that you have the work checked by your Honda
dealer. TPMS wheels require special handling when changing the tire. Failure
to follow the proper tire replacement procedure can result in damage to the
TPMS sensor.
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.
The idea here is to do something to temporarily stop the leak.
If you have a tubeless tire repair kit, you can pull out the nail and try inserting
an external plug in the puncture. Follow the instructions that came with the
repair kit and be sure to inflate the tire to the correct pressure.
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.
For more information on tire repair, see page .205

Emergency Front Wheel Removal/Installation
Should You Repair or Replace a Tire?
Taking Care of the Unexpected
If You Have a Flat Tire
Safety Precautions
Avoid depressing the brake lever and brake pedal when the wheel is off the
motorcycle. This will force the caliper pistons out of the cylinders. The
result will be a loss of brake fluid. If this occurs, the brake system will
require service.
See your dealer for this service.
Avoid getting grease, oil, or dirt on the disc or pad surfaces. Any
contamination can cause poor brake performance or rapid pad wear after
reassembly.
To avoid damage to the brake hose during removal, support the caliper
assembly so that it doesn’t hang from the hose. Do not twist the brake hose.
When removing and installing the wheel, be careful not to damage the
sensor and pulser ring.
Remove the parts in sequence, according to the order in the illustration.
Raise the front wheel off the ground by placing a support block under the
engine, being careful to avoid contact with the exhaust pipe and front lower
cover.
Park your motorcycle on a firm, level surface.
Removal
We recommend wheel removal be done only by your dealer or another qualified
mechanic. Do not attempt to remove the wheel on your own. Wheel removal
requires mechanical skill and professional tools.
Refer to on page .
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 page .

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.
If there’s no obvious problem, leave the engine on so the fan and coolant
circulating system can continue working. Monitor the temperature gauge. The
needle may drop to the normal range after a brief stop with no load on the
engine.
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 needle climbs to the red zone
and stays there, turn the engine off.
If the radiator fan is working, visually check the coolant level in the reserve
tank, located behind the left engine side cover. It isn’t necessary to touch the
radiator system.
Normally, the needle on your temperature gauge will rise to a point about
midway between C (cold) and H (hot) and then level off. Hot weather may
cause the needle to rise higher than normal. So will temporary stress such as
climbing a hill. If you’re stuck in stop-and-go traffic, the needle may climb
some, but the radiator fan is designed to prevent overheating. Be aware of these
variations as you monitor the gauge.
If your vehicle is operated at sustained speeds between 10 and 15 miles per
hour in high ambient temperature conditions, you may experience high
temperature gauge readings.
If the temperature gauge rises, shifting to second gear or altering your speed
(either faster or slower) may reduce the temperature reading. If the indicator
reaches the red zone, as soon as it is safe to do so, pull over and let the engine
idle until the indicator drops.

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 gauge.
If the needle doesn’t drop, do not ride. The engine needs repair. Transport
your motorcycle to a 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 gauge frequently.
If there’s a mild leak, you can ride for awhile, carefully watching the gauge. Be
prepared to stop and add more coolant or water. If the leak is bad, transport your
motorcycle to your 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 comes on while riding. Normally, it will only light
momentarily when you turn the ignition switch ON. Occasionally, it may
flicker at or near idling speed.
Low oil pressure may be caused by an oil 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 your dealer.

If a Fuse Blows
Taking Care of the Unexpected
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.
All of the electrical circuits on your motorcycle have fuses to protect them from
damage caused by excess current flow (short circuit or overload).
Recommended Fuses
The circuit fuse box (including spare fuses) is located behind the left side
cover.
The main fuse is located in the fuse box.
To prevent an accidental short circuit, turn the ignition switch OFF before
checking or replacing the fuses.
Remove the left side cover (page ).

Check the two main fuses (A & B) to see if they are blown.
(cont’d)
To replace main fuses (A & B), see your dealer for this service.
Check the speed limiter (reverse system) fuse to see if it’s blown, see your
dealer for this service.
To check or replace a circuit fuse, pull the old fuse out of its retaining clips
with the fuse remover. Look for a burned wire inside the fuse. If the fuse is
blown, replace it with a spare fuse of the same rating.
If you do not have a replacement fuse with the proper rating for the circuit,
install one with a lower rating.
To replace the external amplifier fuse, see your dealer for this service.

If a Fuse Blows
Taking Care of the Unexpected
If the replacement fuse of the same rating burns out in a short time, there is
probably a serious electrical problem on your motorcycle. Leave the blown fuse
in that circuit and have your motorcycle checked by your dealer.
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 motorcycle 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.
Install the left side cover.

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 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.
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 dealer check the frame
and suspension after any serious crash.

If You Lose Your Key
Taking Care of the Unexpected
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 motorcycle to them or the nearest 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 with your keys. Store this plate in a safe
place.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Explanation
Both tires should be checked monthly when cold, and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the tire
information label.
(If your vehicle has different tires than those indicated on the vehicle tire
information label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a
when one or more of your tires significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure indicator illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure.
Riding on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the rider’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure indicator.

262
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Explanation
Technical Information
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS indicator displays the
symbol ‘‘TPMS’’ when illuminated.
When the TPMS indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS indicator after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Source of Exhaust Emissions
Exhaust Emission Control System
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 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 three-way catalytic converters are in the exhaust system. Through chemical
reactions, they convert HC, CO, and NOx in the engine’s exhaust to carbon
dioxide (CO ), nitrogen (N), and water vapor.
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 exhaust emission control system includes a PGM-FI system, two three-way
catalytic converters, a secondary air injection system, an ignition timing control
system, and two heated oxygen sensors or two air fuel ratio sensors.
No adjustment to these systems should be made although periodic inspection of
the components is recommended.

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 engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging
crankcase emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas is returned to the
combustion chamber through the air cleaner and the intake manifold.

Catalytic Converters
Technical Information
This motorcycle is equipped with two three-way catalytic converters. Each
catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts, promoting
chemical reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals.
The catalytic converters act on HC, CO, and NOx. Replacement parts must be
original Honda parts or equivalents.
The catalytic converters must operate at high temperature for the chemical
reactions to take place. They can set fire to any combustible materials that come
near them. Park your motorcycle away from high grasses, dry leaves, or other
flammables.
Defective catalytic converters contribute to air pollution, and can impair your
engine’s performance. Follow these guidelines to protect your motorcycle’s
catalytic converters.
Always use unleaded gasoline. Even a small amount of leaded gasoline can
contaminate the catalyst metals, making the catalytic converters 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
Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Damage caused by spilled fuel
is not covered by warranty.
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.
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.
If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station or
switch to another brand of gasoline.
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.

Warranty Coverage
Consumer Information
Your new Honda is covered by these warranties:
Motorcycle Limited Warranty
Emission Control System Warranty
Noise Control Warranty
There are responsibilities, restrictions, and exclusions which apply to these
warranties. Please read the Warranties Booklet given to you by your Honda
dealer at the time of purchase. Be sure to keep your Honda owner’s card with
your Warranties Booklet (USA only).
It is important to realize that your warranty applies to defects in material or
workmanship of your Honda. Your warranty coverage does not apply to normal
wear or deterioration associated with using the motorcycle.
Your warranty coverage will not be voided if you choose to perform your own
maintenance. However, you should have the proper tools and service
information and be mechanically qualified. Failures that occur due directly to
improper maintenance are not covered.
Almost all of your warranty coverage can be extended through the Honda
Protection Plan (USA only). For more information, see your Honda dealer.

Warranty Service
Consumer Information
Please remember that recommended maintenance interval servicing is not
included in your warranty coverage. Additionally, your warranty does not apply
to the normal wear of items (such as brakes, tires, etc.).
If you believe you have a problem with your motorcycle, call the service
department of your Honda dealer. Make an appointment for an inspection and
diagnosis. Remember, as the owner of the motorcycle, you will be asked to
authorize that inspection. Your dealer will give you the results of the inspection.
If the problem is covered under warranty, your dealer will perform the warranty
repairs for you.
If you have questions about warranty coverage or the nature of the repair, it is
best to talk to the Service Manager of your Honda dealer.
Sometimes, in spite of the best intentions of all concerned, a misunderstanding
may occur. If you aren’t satisfied with your dealer’s handling of the situation,
we suggest you discuss your problem with the appropriate member of the
dealership’s management team. If the problem has already been reviewed with
the Service Manager, Parts Manager, Sales Manager, etc., contact the Owner of
the dealership or their designated representative.

Contacting Honda
Consumer Information
Your owner’s manual was written to cover most of the questions you might ask
about your Honda. Any questions not answered in the owner’s manual can be
answered by your dealer. If your dealer doesn’t have the answer right away, they
will get it for you.
If you have a difference of opinion with your dealer, please remember that each
dealership is independently owned and operated. That’s why it’s important to
work to resolve any differences at the dealership level.

dealer, please send your comments to the following address (USA only):
Motorcycle Division, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., P.O. Box 2200,
