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 seat strap or your waist,
leaning with you in turns, and keeping their feet
on the footpegs, even when the motorcycle is
stopped.
Check that you are wearing an approved
motorcycle helmet and protective apparel.
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.
There are no handholds, seat, or footrest carry a
passenger.
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.
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. 16), and do not modify
your motorcycle or install accessories that
would make your motorcycle unsafe (
2
P. 15).
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

Motorcycle Safety
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.
Break-in Period
Brakes
Riding Precautions
12
Motorcycle Safety
❙
Combined ABS
Even when the brake lever and brake pedal are
applied separately, the combined ABS
distributes braking pressure between the front
and rear wheels according to braking force and
wheel speed to enhance your stopping power
and stability. The system also controls braking
pressure to prevent wheel lockup. To get the
best results, operate the lever and pedal
together and perform most of your braking in a
straight line to avoid sliding out in a turn.
●
Combined ABS cannot make up for road
conditions, bad judgment, or improper
operation of the brakes, and cannot stop rear
wheel lift completely.
u Never ride faster than conditions permit
and always leave enough space to safely
brake to a stop.
●
When Combined ABS does not function, the
brakes work like a conventional braking
system. On conventional braking systems,
operating the front brake lever applies the
front brake and operating the rear brake
pedal applies the rear brake.
u The system is always turned off at speeds
less than 4 mph (6 km/h).
●
It is important to follow the tire
recommendations (
2
P. 152), because the
Combined ABS computer works by
comparing wheel speed. Incorrect tires can
affect wheel speed and confuse the system.
●
Combined ABS may not always reduce
stopping distance over a motorcycle
equipped with conventional brakes.
●
Combined ABS does not operate when the
battery level is discharged.
●
Combined ABS does not operate when the
ABS main or ABS motor fuses are burned out.
You may feel a change in the way the brake
lever/pedal reacts when it is operated under the
following conditions:
●
Immediately after turning the ignition switch
to ON.
●
After braking to a stop and applying the
brakes again.

Motorcycle Safety
❙
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.
❙
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.
Riding Precautions
14
Motorcycle Safety
●
Park on a firm, level 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
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Push the side stand down.
3.
Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its
weight rests on the side stand.
4.
Turn the handlebars fully to the left.
u Turning the handlebars to the right
reduces stability and may cause the
motorcycle to fall.
5.
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position
and remove the key.
2
P. 45
Follow these guidelines to protect the engine
and catalytic converter:
●
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. 144
●
Do not use stale or contaminated gasoline or
an oil/gasoline mixture.
●
Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Accessories &
Modifications
We strongly advise that you do not add any
accessories that were not specifically designed
or approved for your motorcycle by Honda or
make modifications to your motorcycle from its
original design. Doing so can make it unsafe.
Modifying your motorcycle may also void your
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.

better protection in colder climates.
❙
Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tires and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tires look low. Always check air pressure when
your tires are cold.
❙
Inspecting for Damage
Inspect the tires for
cuts, slits, or cracks
that exposes fabric or
cords, or nails or
other foreign objects
embedded in the side
of the tire or the
tread. Also inspect
for the bumps or bulges in the side walls of the
tires.
❙
Inspecting for Abnormal Wear
Inspect the tires for
signs of abnormal
wear on the contact
surface.
NOTICE
Using coolant not specified for aluminum engines or

Installing improper tires on your
motorcycle can adversely affect
handling and stability, and can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual.
Maintenance Fundamentals

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.

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 windscreen, headlight lens,
panels, and other plastic components with
extra care to avoid scratching them.
Avoid directing water into the air cleaner,
muffler, and electrical parts.
3.
Thoroughly rinse your motorcycle with plenty
of clean water and dry with a soft, cloth.
4.
After the motorcycle dries, lubricate any
moving parts.
u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto the
brakes or tires. Brake discs, pads, drum or
shoes contaminated with oil will suffer
greatly reduced braking effectiveness and
can lead to a crash.
5.
Lubricate the drive chain immediately after
washing and drying the motorcycle.
6.
Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
u Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents. These can
damage the metal, paint, and plastic on
your motorcycle.
Keep the wax clear of the tires and brakes.
u If your motorcycle has any matte painted
parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the
matte painted surface.

Do not use high-pressure washers:
u High-pressure water cleaners can damage
moving parts and electrical parts,
rendering them inoperable.
u Water in the air intake can be drawn into
the throttle body and/or enter the air
cleaner.
●
Do not direct water at the muffler:
u Water in the muffler can prevent starting
and causes rust in the muffler.
●
Dry the brakes:
u Water adversely affects braking
effectiveness. After washing, apply the
brakes intermittently at low speed to help
dry them.
●
Do not direct water under the rear seat:
u Water in the under seat compartment can
damage your documents and other
belongings.
●
Do not direct water at the air cleaner:
u Water in the air cleaner can prevent the
engine from starting.
●
Do not direct water near the headlight:
u Any condensation inside the headlight
should dissipate after a few minutes of
running the engine.
●
Do not use waxes containing compounds at
the matte painted surface:
u Using plenty of water, clean the matte
painted surface with a soft cloth or
sponge. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
u Use neutral detergent to clean matte
painted surface.
Aluminum will corrode from contact with dirt,

Information
Emission Control Systems
Your motorcycle engine emits combustion by
products, 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.

Information
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 rear seat.

P. 71
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.

Information
The exhaust emission control system includes
the following components that should not need
adjustment, although periodic inspection by
your Honda 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.
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.

continued
Information
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.
❙
TAMPERING WITH THE NOISE CONTROL
SYSTEM IS PROHIBITED:
U. S. federal law prohibits, and Canadian
provincial laws may prohibit, the following acts
or the causing thereof: (1) The removal or
rendering inoperative by any person, other than
for purposes of maintenance, repair or
replacement, of any device or element of design
incorporated into any new vehicle for the
purpose of noise control prior to its sale or
delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is
in use; or (2) the use of the vehicle after such
device or element of design has been removed
or rendered inoperative by any person.

AMONG THOSE ACTS PRESUMED TO
CONSTITUTE TAMPERING ARE THE
FOLLOWING ACTS:
●
Removal of, or puncturing the muffler,
baffles, header pipes or any other component
which conducts exhaust gases.
●
Removal of, or puncturing of any part of the
intake system.
●
Lack of proper maintenance.
●
Removing or disabling any emissions
compliance component, or replacing any
compliance component with a non-
compliant component.
Have your motorcycle inspected and repaired by
your dealer if you experience any of the
following symptoms:
●
Hard starting or stalling after starting
●
Rough idling
●
Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration
●
Poor engine performance and poor fuel
economy
Problems Affecting Motorcycle Exhaust
Emissions
Catalytic Converter
143
Information
Catalytic Converter
This motorcycle is equipped with a 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
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 converter.
●
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
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
144
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 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.
