A Few Words About Safety
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very
important. Operating this motorcycle safely is
an important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about
safety, we have provided operating
procedures and other information on safety
labels and in this manual. This information
alerts you to potential hazards that could
hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to
warn you about all hazards associated with
operating or maintaining a motorcycle. You
must use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in
a variety of forms, including:
● Safety labels on the motorcycle
● Safety Messages preceded by a safety alert
symbol and one of three signal words:
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:
3
DANGER
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY
HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
3
WARNING
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY
HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
3
CAUTION
You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow
instructions.
Other important information is
provided under the following titles:

Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety:
● Perform all routine and regular inspections
specified in this manual.
● Stop the engine and keep sparks and flame
away before filling the fuel tank.
● Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly
enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in exhaust
gases is toxic and can kill you.
It’s a proven fact: helmets and protective
apparel significantly reduce the number and
severity of head and other injuries. So always
wear an approved motorcycle helmet and
protective apparel.
2 P. 9
Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally
focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check
that you and your passenger are both wearing
an approved motorcycle helmet and protective
apparel. Instruct your passenger on holding
onto the grab rails or your waist, leaning with
you in turns, and keeping their feet on the
footpegs, even when the motorcycle is stopped.
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,
practice riding in a safe area to become familiar
with how this motorcycle works and handles,
and to become accustomed to the motorcycle’s
size and weight.

Motorcycle Safety
We recommend that all riders take a certified
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 You
and Your Motorcycle Riding Tips booklet that
came with your motorcycle.
Always pay attention to other vehicles around
you, and do not assume that other drivers see
you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an
evasive maneuver.
Make yourself more visible, especially at night,
by wearing bright reflective clothing,
positioning yourself so other drivers can see
you, signaling before turning or changing lanes,
and using your horn when necessary.
Never ride beyond your personal abilities or
faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and
inattention can impair your ability to use good
judgment and ride safely.
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one
alcoholic drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions, and your
reaction time gets worse with every additional
drink. Don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your
friends drink and ride either.

Motorcycle Safety
It’s important to keep your motorcycle properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Inspect your motorcycle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits (
2 P. 15), and do not modify
your motorcycle or install accessories that
would make your motorcycle unsafe (
2 P. 14).
Personal safety is your first priority. 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 to continue riding, first evaluate
the condition of your motorcycle. If the engine
is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid leaks,
check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts,
and check the handlebar, control levers, brakes,
and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously.
Your motorcycle may have suffered damage
that is not immediately apparent. Have your
motorcycle thoroughly checked at a qualified
service facility as soon as possible.

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
a colorless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death.
If you run the engine in a confined or even
partly enclosed area, the air you breathe could
contain a dangerous amount of carbon
monoxide. Never run your motorcycle inside a
garage or other enclosure.

Jacket and Pants
Protective, highly visible, long-sleeved jacket
and durable long pants for riding (or a
protective suit).
Riding Precautions
During the first 300 miles (500 km) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your
motorcycle’s future reliability and performance.
● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
● Ride conservatively.
Observe the following guidelines:
● Avoid excessively hard braking and down-
shifts.
u Sudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle’s stability.
u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u The tires slip more easily on such surfaces
and braking distances are longer.
● Avoid continuous braking.
u Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
● For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.

Motorcycle Safety
❙
Combined ABS
Your motorcycle’s rear brake system is linked to
the front brake. This means that operating the
rear brake pedal applies the rear brake and a
portion of the front brake. Operating the front
brake lever applies only the front brake.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
front and rear brakes together.
This model is also equipped with an Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) designed to help prevent
the brakes from locking up during hard braking.
● ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a
longer stopping distance.
● ABS does not function at speeds below 6
mph (10km/h).
● The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly
when applying the brakes. This is normal.
● Always use the recommended tires to ensure
correct ABS operation.

front and rear brakes together.
❙
Engine Braking
Engine braking helps slow your motorcycle
down when you release the throttle. For further
slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use
engine braking with intermittent use of the
brakes to reduce speed when descending long,
steep slopes.

Motorcycle Safety
❙
Wet or Rainy Conditions
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet
brakes further reduce braking efficiency.
Exercise extra caution when braking in wet
conditions.
If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while
riding at low speed to help them dry.
● Park on a firm, level paved surface.
● If you must park on a slight incline or loose
surface, park so that the motorcycle cannot
move or fall over.
● Make sure that high-temperature parts
cannot come into contact with flammable
materials.
● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes and
other high-temperature parts until they cool
down.
● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebar and remove the key when
leaving the motorcycle unattended.
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.
❙
Parking with the Side Stand or Center Stand
(Canada model only)
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Using the side stand
Push the side stand down.
Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its
weight rests on the side stand.
Using the center stand
Let down the center stand, stand on the left
side of the motorcycle. Hold the left handle
grip and the left grab rail. Press down on the
tip of the stand with your right foot and,
simultaneously, pull up and back.
3.
Turn the handlebar fully to the left.
u Turning the handlebar to the right reduces
stability and may cause the motorcycle to
fall.
4.
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position
and remove the key.

Motorcycle Safety
Follow these guidelines to protect the engine
and catalytic converters:
● Use only unleaded gasoline.
● Use recommended octane number. Using
lower octane gasoline will result in decreased
engine performance.
● Do not use fuels containing a high
concentration of alcohol.
2 P. 163
● Do not use stale or contaminated gasoline or
an oil/gasoline mixture.
● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
TCS (Traction Control System) assists you in
maintaining traction while accelerating on
slippery surfaces by regulating the engine’s
power output when it senses the rear wheel
starting to lose traction.
TCS does not work in case of rear wheel lock
caused by a sudden closing of the throttle.
Do not close the throttle suddenly especially on
the slippery road surface.
TCS may not compensate for rough condition
of roads or rapid and improper throttle
operations.
Always ride with sufficient caution for road and
weather conditions.
In certain unusual conditions when your
motorcycle gets stuck in shallow mud or fresh
snow, it may be easier to free it with the TCS
temporarily switched off.
It may also help to make it easier to maintain
the balance and control in such condition as
riding in an off-road terrain.
Always use the recommended tires to ensure
correct TCS operation.

The battery has a limited life span. Consult your
dealer about when you should replace the
battery. Always replace the battery with
another maintenance-free battery of the same
type.
❙
Charging
If you use electrical accessories that drain the
battery or you do not ride frequently, we
recommend that you charge the battery every
30 days using a charger designed specifically for
your Honda, which can be purchased from your
dealer. Read the information that came with
your battery charger and follow the instructions
on the battery. Avoid using an automobile-type
battery charger, as these can overheat a
motorcycle battery and cause permanent
damage.
Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
position before charging the battery.
NOTICE
Improper charging can damage the battery. If you can’t
charge the battery or it appears unable to hold a charge,

If you use non-Honda engine oil, check the label
to make sure that the oil satisfies all of the
following standards:
● JASO T 903 standard*
1
: MA
● SAE standard*
2
: 10W-30
● API classification*
3
: SG or higher
*1.
The JASO T 903 standard is an index for engine
oils for 4-stroke motorcycle engines. There are
two classes: MA and MB. For example, the
following label shows the MA classification.
*2.
The SAE standard grades oils by their viscosity.
*3.
The API classification specifies the quality and
performance rating of engine oils. Use SG or
higher oils, excluding oils marked as “Energy
Conserving” or “Resource Conserving” on the
circular API service symbol.

Maintenance
The service life of your tires is dependent on
many factors, including, but not limited to,
riding habits, road conditions, vehicle loading,
tire air pressure, maintenance history, speed,
and environmental conditions (even when the
tires are not in use).
In addition to your regular inspections and
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.
The last four digits of the TIN (tire identification
number) indicate the date of manufacture.

Due to the characteristics of Bluetoothr, though in rare cases, the
system operation may become unstable. When it remains unstable,
turn off the power to the audio system or the device being used, and
then turn it on again.
The storage location of the Bluetoothr device sometimes affects the
audio system and communication. When sounds skip or noises mix,
change the location of the device. For example, when the device is
kept in a pocket of clothing sandwiched in between the rider and
passenger, the communication may be affected. (The Bluetoothr
receiver is located near the front of the left saddle bag.)
Also, weather, buildings in the vicinity, road conditions, etc. can

Information
Emission Control Systems
Your motorcycle engine emits combustion
byproducts, including carbon monoxide (CO),
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and hydrocarbons
(HC). Gasoline evaporation also emits
hydrocarbons. Controlling the production of
NOx, CO, and HC is important for the
environment.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the California Air Resources Board
(CARB), and Environment Canada (EC) require
that your motorcycle comply with applicable
exhaust, crankcase, and fuel permeation
emission standards during its useful life, when
operated and maintained according to the
instructions provided.
CARB also requires that your motorcycle comply
with applicable evaporative emission
requirements during its useful life, when
operated and maintained according to the
instructions provided.
Compliance with the terms of the Distributor’s
Warranties for Honda Motorcycle Emission
Control Systems is necessary in order to
maintain a valid emissions system warranty
(USA only). The Vehicle Emission Control
Information label is located under the seat.

The EPA 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 purchase when
operated and maintained according to the
instructions provided.
The exhaust emission control system includes
the following components that should not need
adjustment, although periodic inspection by
your dealer is recommended.
❙
PGM-FI System
The PGM-FI (programmed fuel injection) system
uses sequential multiport fuel injection, and is
comprised of air intake, engine control, fuel
control, and exhaust control subsystems.
The engine control module (ECM) uses sensors
to determine how much air enters the engine,
and then controls how much fuel to inject.
❙
Ignition Timing Control System
The ignition timing control system adjusts the
ignition timing to reduce the amount of HC,
CO, and NOx produced.
❙
Secondary Air Injection System
The secondary air injection system adds filtered
air into the exhaust gas to help improve
emission control performance.
❙
Catalytic Converters
The exhaust system contains one or more
catalytic converters. Catalytic converters use a
catalyst to convert most of the harmful exhaust
gas compounds into harmless compounds.

Information
An evaporative emissions control system uses a
canister filled with charcoal to adsorb fuel vapor
from the fuel tank while the engine is off. The
vapor is drawn into the engine and burned
while riding.
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.
The fuel tank, fuel hoses, and fuel vapor charge
hoses use fuel permeation control technologies
to prevent fuel vapor emissions.
Tampering with these components to reduce or
defeat the effectiveness of the fuel permeation
technologies is prohibited.

162
Information
Catalytic Converter
This motorcycle is equipped with two three-way
catalytic converters. Each catalytic converter
contains precious metals that serve as catalysts
in high temperature chemical reactions that
convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide
(CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the
exhaust gasses into safe compounds.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to air
pollution and can impair your engine’s
performance. A replacement unit must be an
original Honda part or equivalent.
Follow these guidelines to protect your
motorcycle’s catalytic converters.
● Always use unleaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline will damage the catalytic converter.
● Keep the engine in good running condition.
A poorly running engine can cause the

Oxygenated Fuels
163
Information
Oxygenated Fuels
Some conventional fuels blended with alcohol
or an ether compound are available in some
locales to help reduce emissions to meet clean
air standards. These gasolines are collectively
referred to as oxygenated fuels. If you plan to
use oxygenated fuel, check that it is unleaded
and meets the minimum octane rating and
blend requirement.
The following fuel blends are EPA-approved
and have been approved for use in your
motorcycle:
● Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) up to 10% by volume.
u Gasoline containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name Gasohol.
● Methanol (methyl alcohol) up to 5% by
volume that contain cosolvents and corrosion
inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Never
use a blend containing more than 5%.
If you accidentally fill your fuel tank with an
oxygenated fuel containing higher percentages,
you may experience performance problems. To
resolve the problem, have your dealer drain the
fuel tank and replace with the correct fuel. Fuel
system or performance problems resulting from
the use of an oxygenated fuel containing higher
percentages are not covered by your warranty.
If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms or performance problems, try a
different brand of gasoline.
NOTICE
Improper use of oxygenated fuels can damage metal,
rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.
Oxygenated fuel can also damage paint. Damage caused
by spilled fuel is not covered by warranty.
