A Few Words About Safety
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very
important. Operating this scooter 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 scooter. You
must use your own good judgement.
You will find important safety information in
a variety of forms, including:
● Safety labels on the scooter.
● 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:

Scooter Safety
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 handrails or your waist, leaning with
you in turns, and keeping their feet on the
footpegs, even when the scooter is stopped.
Even if you have ridden other scooters, practice
riding in a safe area to become familiar with
how this scooter works and handles, and to
become accustomed to the scooter’s size and
weight.

Scooter 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 scooter.
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.

Scooter Safety
It’s important to keep your scooter properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Inspect your scooter before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits (
2 P. 15), and do not modify
your scooter or install accessories that would
make your scooter 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 scooter. 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 scooter may have suffered damage that is
not immediately apparent. Have your scooter
thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility
as soon as possible.

Scooter Safety
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 scooter inside a garage or other
enclosure.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard

WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and even kill you.
Avoid any areas or activities that
expose you to carbon monoxide.

chin strap fastened.
● Face shield with unobstructed field of vision
or other approved eye protection.
Look for a DOT (Department of Transportation)
certification label on any helmet you buy.
❙
Gloves
Full-finger leather gloves with high abrasion
resistance.

❙
Boots or Riding Shoes
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles and ankle
protection.
❙
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 scooter’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.
u Sudden braking can reduce the scooter’s
stability.
u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.

Riding Precautions
11
continued
Scooter Safety
● 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.
❙
Brake System
Your scooter is equipped with a brake system
that distributes the braking force between the
front and rear brakes.
The distribution of the braking force applied to
the front and rear brakes when operating the
front brake lever only and when operating the
rear brake lever only is different.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
brake levers together.
❙
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
ABS helps prevent the brakes from locking up
during hard braking. Always use the
recommended tires to ensure correct ABS
operation.
● 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 (10 km/h).
● The brake levers may recoil slightly when
applying the brakes. This is normal.
❙
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
12
Scooter Safety
● Park on a firm, level paved surface.
● If you must park on a slight incline or loose
surface, park so that the scooter 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 scooter 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
Lower the side stand.
Slowly lean the scooter to the left until its
weight rests on the side stand.
Turn the handlebar fully to left.
u Turning the handlebar to the right reduces
stability and may cause the scooter to fall.
Using the center stand
Stand on the left side of the scooter, and
then hold the left handle grip and the left
passenger handrail. Press down on the tip of
the center stand with your right foot and,
simultaneously, pull up and back.
Turn the handlebar fully to left or right.

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

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.

Information
Caring for Your Scooter
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean scooter
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 scooter
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 scooter 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 scooter with plenty of
clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
4.
After the scooter dries, lubricate any moving
parts.
u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto the
brakes or tires. Brake discs or pads
contaminated with oil will suffer greatly
reduced braking effectiveness and can
lead to a crash.
5.
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 scooter.
Keep the wax clear of the tires and brakes.
❙

Information
The exhaust is made of stainless steel, which
can become tarnished with burn marks if
splattered with oil or other substances when
hot. To remove burn marks, use a mild abrasive
compound. To remove dirt and mud, use a
kitchen cleaning solution for stainless steel and
wash with a soft sponge. Rinse with plenty of
water to remove all residue.
When the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
do not use a commercially available abrasive
kitchen cleaning compound. Use a neutral
detergent to clean the painted surface on the
exhaust pipe and muffler. If you are not sure if
your exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
contact your dealer.
Storing Your Scooter
If you store your scooter outdoors, you should
consider using a full-body motorcycle cover.
If you won’t be riding for an extended period,
follow these guidelines:
● Wash your scooter and wax all painted

Information
You & the Environment
Owning and riding a scooter can be enjoyable,
but you must do your part to protect the
environment.
Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash
your scooter. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that
contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which
damage the atmosphere’s protective ozone
layer.
Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved
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. Do not place
used engine oil in the trash, or pour it down a
drain or on the ground. Used oil, gasoline,
coolant, and cleaning solvents contain poisons
that can hurt refuse workers and contaminate
drinking water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.

continued
Information
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.
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.

Emission Control Systems
106
Information
The positive crankcase ventilation system
prevents gases that build up in the engine’s
crankcase from being released into the
atmosphere. The gases are drawn into the
engine and burned while riding.
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 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.

Catalytic Converter
108
Information
Catalytic Converter
This scooter 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
scooter’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 scooter.
● If your engine is misfiring, backfiring, stalling,
or otherwise not running properly, stop
riding and turn off the engine. Have your
scooter serviced as soon as possible.

Oxygenated Fuels
109
Information
Oxygenated Fuels
Some conventional fuels blended with alcohol
or an ether compound are available in some
areas 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
scooter:
●
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.
