Servicing Your Honda 41
Fuel System
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 25.
Fuel Recommendation
Type Unleaded
Pump Octane Number 91 (or higher)
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 91
or higher. Gasoline pumps at service stations
normally display the pump octane number. For
information on the use of oxygenated fuels, see
page 166.
Use of lower octane gasoline can cause persistent
“pinging” or “spark knock” (a louder 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. Avoid
getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.
