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 judgement.
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 seat strap 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
judgement 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 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.

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.
● Ride conservatively.
Observe the following guidelines:
● Avoid excessively hard braking and sudden
shifting to a lower gear.
u Sudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle’s stability.
u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk wheel slippage.

continued
Motorcycle Safety
● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u The wheels lock more easily on such
surfaces, and braking distances are longer.
● Avoid continuous braking.
u Repeated braking can overheat the brakes,
reducing their effectiveness.
❙
Combined ABS (CB1100A only)
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
lever and pedal 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 actually
result in a longer stopping distance.
● ABS does not function at speeds below 6
mph (10 km/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.
❙
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 handlebars 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
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 handlebars to the right
reduces stability and may cause the
motorcycle to fall.

warranty and make your motorcycle illegal to
operate on public roads and highways. Before
deciding to install accessories on your
motorcycle be certain the modification is safe
and legal.
Do not pull a trailer with, or attach a sidecar to,
your motorcycle. Your motorcycle was not
designed for these attachments, and their use
can seriously impair your motorcycle’s handling.

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.

Caring for Your Motorcycle
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean
motorcycle makes it easier to spot potential
problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of
corrosion. Always wash your motorcycle
thoroughly after riding on coastal or treated
roads.
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
1.
Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly using a
garden hose to remove loose dirt.
2.
If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel
with mild cleaner to remove road grime.
u Clean the headlight lens, panels, and other

Information
Catalytic Converter
This motorcycle is equipped with an three-way
catalytic converter. The catalytic converter
contain 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

Oxygenated Fuels
115
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) 10% by volume (max).
Gasoline containing ethanol may be
marketed under the name “Gasohol.”
● MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) 15% by
volume (max)
● Methanol (methyl alcohol) 5% by volume
(max) 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.

Defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a
defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it
may open an investigation, and if it finds
that a safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However, NHTSA
cannot become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer, or
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the
Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at:
1-888-327-4236
(TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to
http://www.safercar.gov;
