Important Safety Information
Always Wear a Helmet
Scooter Safety
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You’ll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. The following are a few that we
consider to be most important.
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly
reduce the number and severity of head
injuries. So always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet and make sure your
passenger does the same. We also
recommend that you wear eye protection,
sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective
gear (page ).
Your scooter can provide many years of
service and pleasure if you take
responsibility for your own safety and
understand the challenges you can meet
while riding.

Important Safety Information
Scooter Safety
Ride Defensively
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Make Yourself Easy to See
You and
Your Motorcycle Riding Tips,
The most frequent scooter collision
happens when a car turns left in front of a
scooter. Another common situation is a car
moving suddenly into your lane.
Always pay attention to other vehicles
around you, and do not assume that other
drivers see you. Be prepared to stop
quickly or make an evasive maneuver. For
other riding tips, see the booklet,
which came
with your new scooter (USA only).
Even if you have ridden other scooters,
take time to become familiar with how
this scooter works and handles. Practice in
a safe area until you build your skills and
get accustomed to the scooter’s size and
weight.
Because many crashes involve
inexperienced or untrained riders, we urge
all riders to take a motorcycle operator
course approved by the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation (MSF). See page .
Some drivers do not see scooters because
they are not looking for them. To make
yourself more visible, wear bright
reflective clothing, position yourself so
other drivers can see you, signal before
turning or changing lanes, and use your
horn when it will help others notice you.

Important Safety Information
Don’t Drink and Ride
Ride within Your Limits Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
Scooter Safety
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one
drink can reduce your ability to respond to
changing conditions, and your reaction
time gets worse with every additional
drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t
let your friends drink and ride either.
Pushing limits isanother major cause of
scooter crashes. Never ride beyond your
personal abilities or faster than conditions
warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs,
fatigue, and inattention can significantly
reduce your ability to make good
judgments and ride safely.
It’s important to keep your scooter
properly maintained and in safe riding
condition. To help avoid problems, inspect
your scooter before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance.
Never exceed load limits (page ), and
do not modify your scooter (page ) or
install accessories that would make your
scooter unsafe (page ).

Accessories
Accessories & Modifications
Scooter Safety
Make sure the accessory doesnot
obscure any lights, reduce ground
clearance and lean angle, limit
suspension travel or steering travel, alter
your riding position, or interfere with
operating any controls. (cont’d)
Modifying your scooter or using non-
Honda accessories can make your scooter
unsafe. Before you consider making any
modifications or adding an accessory, be
sure to read the following information.
We strongly recommend that you use only
Honda Genuine Accessories that have
been specifically designed and tested for
your scooter. Because Honda cannot test
all other accessories, you must be
personally responsible for proper selection,
installation, and use of non-Honda
accessories.
Check with your Honda dealer for
assistance and always follow these
guidelines:

Modifications
Accessories & Modifications
Scooter Safety
Do not add any electrical equipment
that will exceed the scooter’selectrical
system capacity (page ). A blown
fuse can cause a loss of lights or engine
power (page ).
Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your
scooter. This scooter was not designed
for these attachments, and their use can
seriously impair your scooter’s handling.
We strongly advise you not to remove any
original equipment or modify your scooter
in any way that would change its design or
operation. Such changes could seriously
impair your scooter’s handling, stability,
and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
Removing or modifying your lights,
exhaust system, emission control system,
or other equipment can also make your
scooter illegal.

Safety Labels
Scooter Safety
If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your Honda dealer for a replacement.
Safety labels on your scooter either warn you of potential hazards that could cause serious
injury or they provide important safety information. Read these labels carefully and don’t
remove them.

Protective Apparel
Are You Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
Read this owner’s manual.
Make sure you understand all the safety
messages.
Know how to operate all the controls.
You feel well and are in good physical
and mental condition.
Before each ride, be sure: For your safety, we strongly recommend
that you always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots,
gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved
shirt or jacket whenever you ride.
Although complete protection is not
possible, wearing proper gear can reduce
the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you
choose the proper gear.
Before you ride your scooter for the first
time, we urge you to:
Youarewearinganapproved
motorcycle helmet (with chin strap
tightened securely), eye protection, and
other protective clothing.
You don’t have any alcohol or drugs in
your system.
Make sure your passenger is ready to ride,
too, and is wearing proper gear including a
helmet.
If you must carry an extra helmet while
riding, use a commercially available
elastic cord, strap, or net to secure the
helmet to the seat.
０９／０２／０３ １２：１１：１９ ３１ＫＴＧ６００ ００３９
Not wearing a helmet increases
the chance of serious injury or
death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger
always wear a helmet, eye
protection, and other protective
apparel when you ride.

Are You Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
(cont’d)
Helmet and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece
of riding gear because it offers the best
protection against head injuries. A helmet
should fit your head comfortably and
securely. A bright-colored helmet and
reflective strips can make you more
noticeable in traffic.
An open-face helmet offers some
protection, but a full-face helmet offers
more. Regardless of the style, look for a
DOT (Department of Transportation)
sticker on any helmet you buy (USA only).
Always wear a face shield or goggles to
protect your eyes and help your vision.
Leather gloves to help protect your
hands.
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
In addition to a helmet and eye protection,
we also recommend:

Tires
&
Wheels
Before each ride, it’s important to inspect
your scooter and make sure any problem
you find is corrected. A pre-ride
inspection is a must, not only for safety,
but because having a breakdown, or even
a flat tire, can be a major inconvenience.
Check the following items before you get
on the scooter:
Look at the tires. If a tire
appears low, use an air
pressure gauge to check its
pressure. Also look for
signs of excessive wear
(page ) or damage to
the tires and wheels.

Loading
Load Limits & Guidelines
Before Riding
Your scooter has been designed to carry
you and one passenger. When you carry a
passenger, you may feel some difference
during acceleration and braking. But so
long as you keep your scooter well-
maintained, with good tires and brakes,
you can safely carry loads within the
given limits and guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit or
carrying an unbalanced load can seriously
impair your scooter’s handling, braking,
and stability. Non-Honda accessories,
improper modifications, and poor
maintenance can also reduce your safety
margin.
How much weight you put on your scooter,
and how you load it, are important to your
safety. Anytime you ride with a passenger
or cargo, you should be aware of the
following information.

Load Limits & Guidelines
Before Riding
Follow these guidelines whenever you
carry a passenger or cargo:
Check that both tires are properly
inflated, and that pressure in the rear
tire is increased to suit the load
(page ).
If you change your normal load, you
may need to adjust the rear suspension
(page ).
To prevent loose items from creating a
hazard, make sure that all cargo is tied
down securely before you ride.
Place cargo weight as low and close to
the center of your scooter as possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both
sides.
Improperly loading your scooter can
affect its stability and handling. Even if
your scooter is properly loaded, you
should ride at reduced speeds and never
exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) when carrying
cargo.

Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
Applying the brakes too hard may cause
the wheels to lock and slide, reducing
control of your scooter. If this happens,
release the brake controls, steer straight
ahead until you regain control, then
reapply the brakes more gently.
Your scooter is equipped with a Linked
Braking System. Operating the front brake
lever applies the front brake. Operating
the rear brake lever applies the rear brake
and a portion of the front brake. For full
braking effectiveness, use the front and
rear brake levers simultaneously.
As with a conventional scooter braking
system, excessively hard application of the
brake controls may cause wheel lock,
reducing control of the scooter.
As a general rule, the front braking system
provides about 70 percent of total stopping
power.
To slow or stop, apply the front and rear
brake levers smoothly.
Gradually increase braking as you feel the
brakes slowing your speed.
For support, before coming to a complete
stop, put your left foot down first, then
your right foot down.
０９／０２／０３ １２：１４：３８ ３１ＫＴＧ６００ ００６９
61
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
Your ability to brake in a turn and to brake
hard in an emergency situation are
important riding skills. We suggest
attending a Motorcycle Safety Foundation
experienced rider training course
(page ) to retain these skills.
When possible, reduce your speed or
complete braking before entering a turn.
Avoid braking or closing the throttle
quickly while turning. Either action may
cause one or both wheels to slip and
reduce your control of your scooter.
When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or
on loose surfaces, the ability to maneuver
and stop will be reduced. All of your
actions should be smooth under these
conditions. Rapid acceleration, braking or
turning may cause loss of control.
For your safety, exercise extreme caution
when braking, accelerating or turning.
When descending a long, steep grade, use
both brakes intermittently. Continuous
brake application can overheat the brakes
and reduce their effectiveness.
Riding with your hand on either brake
lever may actuate the brakelight, giving a
false indication to other drivers. It may
also overheat the brakes, reducing
effectiveness.32

If you must park on a hill, position the
rear tire against the curb at a 45 degree
angle.
Use the center stand to support the
scooter while parked.
To lower the center stand, stand on
the left side of the scooter. Hold the
left handle grip and rear carrier. Press
down on the tip of the stand with
your right foot and, simultaneously,
pull up and back.
If you have to park on a soft surface,
insert something solid under the stand

Theft-prevention Tips
Parking
Basic Operation & Riding
If you decide to use an anti-theft device,
select one of good quality and be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Always take the ignition key with you.
Always use the steering lock (page ),
even if you’re parking for just a minute
or two. A thief can easily push an
unlocked scooter to a waiting truck.
In addition to the steering lock, use a
good quality anti-theft device made
specifically to lock a scooter to a secure
object.
Keep your owner’s manual, current
registration, and insurance information
with your scooter. This will make it
easier for the authorities to find you if
your scooter is stolen and recovered.
Park your scooter in a locked garage
whenever possible. If a garage isn’t
available, park in a concealed area or in
a well-lit area with enough pedestrian
traffic to discourage a thief.

Maintenance Safety
Servicing Your Honda
Other tasks that are more difficult and
require special tools are best performed by
professionals. Wheel removal should
normally be handled only by a Honda
technician or other qualified mechanic.
Instructions are included in this manual
only to assist in emergency service.
Some of the most important safety
precautions follow. However, we cannot
warn you of every conceivable hazard that
can arise in performing maintenance. Only
you can decide whether or not you should
perform a given task.
This section includes instructions on how
to perform some important maintenance
tasks. If you have basic mechanical skills,
you can perform many of these tasks with
the tools provided with your scooter.

Important Safety Precautions
Maintenance Safety
Servicing Your Honda
Carbon monoxide poisoning from
engine exhaust.
Burns from hot scooter parts.
Injury from moving parts.
Read the instructions before you begin,
and make sure you have the tools and
skills required.
Make sure the engine is off before you
begin any maintenance or repairs. This
will help eliminate several potential
hazards:
Be sure there is
adequate ventilation whenever you
operate the engine.
Let the
engine and exhaust system cool before
touching.
Do not run
the engine unless instructed to do so.
To reduce the possibility of a fire or
explosion, be careful when working
around gasoline. Use only
non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to
clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and
flames away from all fuel-related parts.
Be sure the rear brake lock is set before
running the engine while the scooter is
supported by the center stand. This will
prevent the rear wheel from spinning
and avoid the possibility of someone
being injured from contacting the wheel.
To help prevent the scooter from falling
over, park it on a firm, level surface,
using the center stand to provide
support.

Periodic Maintenance
Servicing Your Honda
Check the odometer reading and perform
any scheduled maintenance checks that are
needed (page ). Remember, more
frequent checks may be needed for riding
in severe conditions.
In addition to the regularly scheduled
maintenance (page ) and daily pre-ride
inspection (page ), consider performing
the periodic checks on the following page
at least once a month, even if you haven’t
ridden your scooter, or as often as once a
week if you ride frequently or for long
distances. It’s a good idea to perform this
maintenance any time you clean your
scooter.

Servicing Your Honda
Safety PrecautionsRefer to on page .
Use only unleaded fuel in your Honda.
The use of leaded fuel will damage the
catalytic converter(s). If you ride your
Honda in a country where leaded fuel
might be available, take precautions to use
only unleaded fuel.
Use of lower octane gasoline can cause
persistent ‘‘pinging’’ or ‘‘spark knock’’ (a
loud 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.
Your engine is designed to use any
unleaded gasoline that hasa pump octane
number of 86 or higher. Gasoline pumps
at service stations normally display the
pump octane number. For information on
the use of oxygenated fuels, see page .
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 Honda
dealer.

Engine Oil & Strainer Screen
Servicing Your Honda
Engine oil quality is a major factor that
affects both the performance and the
service life of the engine.
When running in very dusty conditions, oil
changes should be performed more
frequently than specified in the
maintenance schedule.
Change the engine oil as specified in the
maintenance schedule on page .
Using the proper oil (page ), and
regularly checking, adding, and changing
oil will help extend your engine’s life.
Even the best oil wears out. Changing oil
helps get rid of dirt and deposits in the
engine. Operating the engine with old or
dirty oil can damage your engine. Running
the engine with insufficient oil can cause
serious damage to the engine and
transmission.

Coolant Recommendation
Coolant
Servicing Your Honda
Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may
cause premature wear of water pump
seals or blockage of radiator passages.
Using tap water may cause engine
damage.
Maintaining the coolant will allow the
cooling system to work properly and
prevent freezing, overheating, and
corrosion.
Use Pro Honda HP coolant or an
equivalent high quality ethylene glycol
antifreeze containing corrosion protection
inhibitors specifically recommended for
use in aluminum engines. Check the
antifreeze container label.
Use only distilled water as a part of the
coolant solution. Water that is high in
mineral content or salt may be harmful to
the aluminum engine.
Your scooter’s liquid cooling system
dissipates engine heat through the coolant
jacket that surrounds the cylinder and
cylinder head.
The factory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and water in this scooter. This
coolant solution is recommended for most
operating temperatures and provides good
corrosion protection.

Safety PrecautionsRefer to on page .
Decreasing the concentration of antifreeze
to less than 40% will not provide proper
corrosion protection.
Increasing the concentration of antifreeze
is not recommended because it decreases
cooling system performance. Higher
concentrations of antifreeze (up to 60%)
should only be used to provide additional
protection against freezing. Check the
cooling system frequently during freezing
weather.
Park the scooter on its center stand on a
firm, level surface.

Air Cleaner
Servicing Your Honda
Safety Precautions
Using the wrong air cleaner may result in
premature engine wear.
Improper or lack of proper air cleaner
maintenance can cause poor performance
and premature engine wear.
Refer to on page .
Service the air cleaner more frequently if
you ride in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Your Honda dealer can help you
determine the correct service interval for
your riding conditions.
Proper air cleaner maintenance can
prevent premature engine wear or damage,
expensive repairs, low engine power, poor
gas mileage, and spark plug fouling.
Your scooter’s air cleaner has very
specific performance requirements. Use a
new Honda Genuine air cleaner specified
for your model or an air cleaner of
equivalent quality.

Suspension
Servicing Your Honda
Your front and rear suspension systems
use springs and hydraulic damping devices
that suspend your weight and most of the
weight of your scooter.
The spring pre-load for your rear
suspension system adjusts the amount of
force required to begin compression of the
spring.
Consider adjusting your rear suspension
pre-load whenever you change your
normal load, when adding or subtracting a
passenger, cargo, or accessories, or when
the road or riding conditions change.
The way you ride your scooter and the
type of ride you want to experience can
also influence your suspension needs.
Lower spring pre-load provides a softer
ride and is usually preferred for light loads
and smooth roads. Higher spring pre-load
provides a firmer ride and is
recommended for heavy loads, rough road
conditions, and faster, more challenging
riding.

Brakes
Servicing Your Honda
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid
level will drop. A leak in the system will
also cause the level to drop.
Hydraulic Front Brake
Frequently inspect the system to ensure
there are no fluid leaks. Periodically
inspect the brake fluid level and the brake
pads for wear.
If the brake lever freeplay does not feel
within the normal range while riding,
check the brake pads for wear (page ).
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads
are not worn beyond the recommended
limit, there is probably air in the brake
system. See your Honda dealer to have the
air bled from the system.
Drum Rear Brake
For more information, see page .
The hydraulic (front) and mechanically-
activated drum (rear) braking systems on
your scooter dissipate the heat generated
by the friction of the brake pads on the
disc (front) and the brake shoes on the
drum (rear) as the wheels are slowed.

Tires
Servicing Your Honda
Safety Precautions
To safely operate your scooter, your tires
must be the proper type and size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and
correctly inflated for the load you are
carrying.
The following pages give detailed
informationonhowandwhentocheck
your air pressure, how to inspect your tires
for wear and damage, and our
recommendations for tire repair and
replacement.
Refer to on page .
Properly inflated tires provide the best
combination of handling, tread life, and
riding comfort. Generally, underinflated
tires wear unevenly, adversely affect
handling, and are more likely to fail from
being overheated. Overinflated tires make
your scooter ride harshly, are more prone
to damage from road hazards, and wear
unevenly.

Tires
Servicing Your Honda
We recommend that you visually check
your tires before every ride and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure
at least once a month or any time you
think the tires might be low. Even tires
that are in good condition may lose one to
two psi per month if not checked and
adjusted regularly.
Tubeless tires have some degree of self-
sealing ability if they are punctured.
However, because leakage is often very
slow, you should look closely for
punctures whenever a tire is not fully
inflated.
The recommended ‘‘cold’’ tire pressures
are:
Always check air pressure when your tires
are ‘‘cold’’ –– after the scooter has been
parked for at least three hours. If you
check air pressure when your tires are
‘‘warm’’ –– even if your scooter has only
been ridden for a few miles –– the
readings will be higher. If you let air out
of warm tires to match the recommended
cold pressures, the tires will be
underinflated.

Tire Service Life
Tires
Servicing Your Honda
For the best performance, you should
replace a tire before the tread depth at the
center reaches the following limits:
If the wear indicators are visible, replace
the tire immediately as it is no longer safe.
The service life of your tires is dependent
on many factors, including, but not limited
to, riding habits, road conditions, vehicle
loading, tire pressure, maintenance history,
speed, and environmental conditions (even
when the tires are not in use).
In addition to your regular inspections and
tire pressure 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) ( ) are found on
the sidewall of the tire, and indicate the
date of manufacture.
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The tire identification number (TIN) is a

If You Have a Flat Tire,
A temporary repair can sometimes be
made in an emergency situation.
However, since a temporary repair may
not hold, you must ride very slowly,
preferably without any cargo or passenger,
and have the tire replaced or permanently
repaired as soon as possible.
(For more information on temporary
repairs, see
page .)
A permanent repair, such as an internal
plug patch, can be made if a tire has only a
small puncture in the tread area. With such
a repair, you should not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) for the first 24 hours, or 80 mph
(130 km/h) at any time thereafter. In
addition, you may not be able to safely
carry as much weight. If you choose to
have a tire repaired, be sure the repair
work is performed by a professional and
that the wheel is balanced before you ride.

General Recommendations
Appearance Care
Servicing Your Honda
Safety Precautions
Frequent cleaning and polishing will keep
your Honda looking newer longer.
Frequent cleaning also identifies you as an
owner who values your scooter. A clean
scooter is also easier to inspect and service.
Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents that
could damage the metal, paint, and
plastic on your scooter.
If your scooter is still warm from recent
operation, give the engine and exhaust
system time to cool off.
Park in a shady area. Washing your
scooter in bright sunlight may cause the
finish to fade because water droplets
intensify the sun’s brightness. Spotting
is also more likely because surface
water can dry before you have time to
wipe it off.
Clean your scooter regularly to protect
surface finishes.
Refer to on page .
To clean your scooter, you may use:
water
a mild, neutral detergent and water
a mild spray and wipe cleaner/
polisher
a mild spray and rinse cleaner/
degreaser and water

You & the Environment
Tips
Recycle Wastes.
Choose Sensible Cleaners.
It’s illegal and
thoughtless to put used engine oil in the
trash, down a drain, or on the ground.
Used oil, gasoline, coolant, and
cleaning solvents contain poisons that
can hurt refuse workers and
contaminate our drinking water, lakes,
rivers, and oceans. Before changing
your oil, make sure you have the proper
containers. Put oil and other toxic
wastes in separate sealed 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.
Owning and riding a scooter can be
enjoyable, but you must do your part to
protect nature.
Following are tips on how you can be an
environmentally responsible scooter
owner.
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. Don’t throw cleaning
solvents away; see the following
guidelines for proper disposal.

If You Have a Flat Tire
Taking Care of the Unexpected
A flat tire is always unwelcome,
especially if you are far from help. If you
think you are losing air, or you hit a
pothole or hard object, pull safely to the
side of the road so you can inspect the
tires and assess the situation. (Be sure to
park on a firm, level surface and use the
center stand for support.) You should
examine the tire treads and sidewalls for
foreign objects or damage. If you find a
tire that has been punctured or damaged,
you have two options.
Option 1:
Have Your Scooter Transported
If a tire has a major puncture or a cut in
the tread or sidewall, or the bead has come
loose from the rim, there is probably not
much you can do except have your scooter
transported to a Honda dealer or other
qualified service facility. Even with a
simple puncture, this may be the safest
and least troublesome solution. For
transporting instructions, see page .
Option 2:
Make a Temporary Roadside Repair
If a tire has only a minor nail puncture and
is not completely flat, you may be able to
make an emergency repair that could
allow you to continue riding to where you
can get the tire replaced or permanently
repaired.
154
０９／０２／０３ １２：２６：５４ ３１ＫＴＧ６００ ０１７３
Riding your scooter with a
temporary tire repair can be risky.
If the temporary repair fails, you
can crash and be seriously injured
or killed.
If you must ride with a temporary
tire repair, ride slowly and
carefully and do not exceed 30
mph(50km/h)untilthetireis
permanently repaired or replaced.
165
Types of Temporary Repairs
If You Have a Flat Tire
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Due to the uncertainty of any temporary
repair, you should ride slowly (not over 30
mph, 50 km/h) and carefully (preferably
without a passenger or cargo) until the tire
is replaced or permanently repaired. Stop
frequently and check the air pressure. If
the tire is losing pressure, it may be unsafe
to continue riding. As the tire gets low, it
will affect the handling of your scooter
(especially with a passenger and cargo)
and it may overheat and blow out.
The following types of temporary repairs
generally require a source of air to inflate
the tire. Possible sources include CO
cartridges or cans of compressed air
designed to inflate a tire.

Inflate the tire:
Plug the hole:
Tubeless tires have
some self-sealing ability if they are
punctured and the result is usually just a
slow leak. If this is the case, you can try
inflating the tire to see if it will hold air
pressure. If you can see a nail or other
object embedded in the tire tread, do not
remove it at this time.

If you have a tubeless tire repair kit,
you can pull out the nail and try
insertinganexternalpluginthe

came with the repair kit and be sure to
inflate the tire to the correct pressure.
We strongly recommend that you replace,
not permanently repair, any tire that is
punctured or damaged, even if the tire has
only a minor puncture. For a full

If Your Engine Overheats
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Continuing to ride with an overheated
engine can cause serious engine damage.
A steaming engine indicates a coolant
leak. Shut the engine off and wait until
the steaming stops. Look for a leak, but
don’t touch the engine or radiator
system. Let everything cool off first.
Normally, the needle on your temperature
gauge will rise to a point about midway
between C (cold) and H (hot) and then
level off. Hot weather may cause the
needle to rise higher than normal. So will
temporary stress such as climbing a hill. If
you’re stuck in stop-and-go traffic, the
needle may climb some, but the radiator
fan is designed to prevent overheating. Be
aware of these variations as you monitor
the gauge.
If the needle moves toward H for no
apparent reason, pull safely to the side of
the road. If possible, park in a shady area.
If there’s no obvious problem, leave the
engine on so the fan and coolant
circulating system can continue
working. Monitor the temperature
gauge. The needle may drop to the
normal range after a brief stop with no
load on the engine.

169
If Your Engine Overheats
Taking Care of the Unexpected
If you are able to resume riding, continue
to monitor the gauge frequently.
If there’s a mild leak, you can ride for
awhile, carefully watching the gauge. Be
prepared to stop and add more coolant or
water. If the leak is bad, transport your
scooter to a Honda dealer (page ).
If the reserve tank is low or empty, don’t
ride without adding coolant (page ).
After adding coolant, turn the engine on
and check the temperature gauge.
If the needle doesn’t drop, do not ride.
The engine needs repair. Transport your
scooter to a Honda dealer (page ).
If the temperature drops to normal,
check the coolant level. If it has gone
down, add more coolant.
Check the radiator fan.
If the fan is not working, turn the
engine off. Open the fuse box
(page ) and check the radiator fan
fuse. If the fuse is blown, replace it
with the proper (same rating) spare fuse.
Start the engine. If the needle climbs to
the red zone and stays there, turn the
engine off.
If the radiator fan is working, visually
check the coolant level in the reserve
tank, located under the front cover
(page ). It isn’t necessary to touch
the radiator system.

damage caused by excess current flow
(short circuit or overload).
To prevent an accidental short circuit,
turn the ignition switch OFF before
checking or replacing the fuses.
Recommended Fuses
If something electrical on your scooter
stops working, the first thing you should
check for is a blown fuse.
Check all the fuses before looking
elsewhere for another possible cause of
the problem. Replace any blown fuses and
check component operation.
The main fuse and circuit fuse box

If a Fuse Blows
Taking Care of the Unexpected
If you replace a blown fuse with a spare
fuse that has a lower rating, replace the
fuse with the correct rating as soon as you
can. Also remember to replace any spare
fuses that were installed.
If you do not have a spare fuse and you
cannot ride the scooter without fixing the
problem, take a fuse of the same rating or
a lower rating from one of the other
circuits that you can do without
temporarily.
If the replacement fuse of the same rating
burns out in a short time, there is probably
a serious electrical problem on your
scooter. Leave the blown fuse in that
circuit and have your scooter checked by
your Honda dealer.

If You Crash
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Transporting Your Scooter,
Personal safety is your first priority after a
crash. 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 there is minor damage, or you are
unsure about possible damage, ride slowly
and cautiously. Sometimes, crash damage
is hidden or not immediately apparent, so
you should have your scooter thoroughly
checked at a qualified service facility as
soon as possible. Also, be sure to have
your Honda dealer check the frame and
suspension after any serious crash.
If your scooter cannot be ridden, see
page .
If you decide that you are capable of
riding safely, first evaluate the condition
of your scooter. If the engine is still
running, turn it off and look it over
carefully; inspect it for fluid leaks, check
the tightness of critical nuts and bolts, and
secure such parts as the handlebar, control
levers, brakes, and wheels.

Taking Care of the Unexpected
If You Lose Your Key
Be sure to record your key number in the
Quick Reference section at the rear of the
manual. You’ll need this number to have a
duplicate key made.
A lost key won’t be a problem if you take
preventative action. Store one duplicate
key in a safe place at home and carry a
second duplicate in your wallet.
If you lose your key and aren’t carrying a
duplicate, either get your spare or have
one made. If you don’t know your key
number, call the dealer where you
purchased your Honda. They may have it
listed in their records. If they don’t,
transport your scooter to them or the
nearest Honda dealer. The dealer will
probably have to remove the ignition
switch assembly to find the key number so
they can make a key for you.
０９／０２／０３ １２：２８：００ ３１ＫＴＧ６００ ０１８４
176
If Your Battery Is Low (or Dead)
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Bump starting is also not recommended.
If you can’t charge the battery or it
appears unable to hold a charge, contact
your Honda dealer.
Jump starting is not recommended,
especially if you use an automobile battery.
The greater amperage of an automobile
battery when the car engine is running can
damage your scooter’s electrical system.

Exhaust Emission Requirements Warranty Compliance
Noise Emission Requirements
Emission Control Systems
Technical Information
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), the California Air
Resources Board (CARB), and
Environment Canada (EC) require that
your scooter comply with applicable
exhaust emissions standards during its
useful life, when operated and maintained
according to the instructions provided.
Compliance with the terms of the
Distributor’s Warranties for Honda
Scooter Emission Control Systems is
necessary in order to keep the emissions
system warranty in effect. (USA only)
The EPA also requires that scooters 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 sale to the ultimate purchaser,
when operated and maintained according

Emission Control Systems
Technical Information
Source of Exhaust Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon
monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx),
and hydrocarbons (HC). Control of
hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is
very important because, under certain
conditions, they react to form
photochemical smog when subjected to
sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react
in the same way, but it is toxic.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. utilizes various
systems to reduce hydrocarbons, oxides of
nitrogen, and carbon monoxide.
The Vehicle Emission Control
Information label ( ) ( ) is attached to
the inside of the center compartment.

Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)
System
Ignition Timing Control System
Exhaust Emission Control System
Emission Control Systems
Technical Information
The PGM-FI system has four subsystems:
Air Intake, Engine Control, Fuel Control,
and Exhaust Control.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses
various sensors to determine how much air
is going into the engine. It then controls
how much fuel is injected under all
operating conditions.
The system constantly adjusts the ignition
timing, reducing the amount of HC, CO
and NOx produced.
The exhaust emission control system
includes a secondary air injection system,
PGM-FI system, three-way catalytic
converter, and heated oxygen sensor.
No adjustment to these systems should be
made although periodic inspection of the
components is recommended.

Secondary Air Injection System
Three-Way Catalytic Converter
Evaporative Emission Control System
(California only)
Emission Control Systems
Technical Information
The secondary air injection system
introduces filtered air into the exhaust
gases in the exhaust port. The secondary
air injection system helps improve
emission control performance.
The three-way catalytic converter is in the
exhaust system. Through chemical
reactions, they convert HC, CO, and NOx
in the engine’s exhaust to carbon dioxide
(CO ), dinitrogen (N ), and water vapor.
This scooter complies with the
requirements of the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) evaporative
emission regulations. Fuel vapor from the
fuel tank is directed into the charcoal
canister and air cleaner where it is
adsorbed and stored while the engine is
stopped. When the engine is running and
the purge control solenoid valve is open,
fuel vapor in the charcoal canister and air
cleaner is drawn into the engine through
the throttle body.

Catalytic Converter
Technical Information
A defective catalytic converter contributes
to air pollution, and can impair your
engine’s performance. Follow these
guidelines to protect your scooter’s
catalytic converter.
Always use unleaded gasoline. Even a
small amount of leaded gasoline can
contaminate the catalyst metals, making
the catalytic converter ineffective.
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.
This scooter is equipped with a three-way
catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter contains precious
metals that serve as catalysts, promoting
chemical reactions to convert the exhaust
gasses without affecting the metals.
The catalytic converter acts on HC, CO,
and NOx. A replacement unit must be an
original Honda part or its equivalent.
The catalytic converter must operate at a
high temperature for the chemical
reactions to take place. It can set fire to
any combustible materials that come near
it. Park your scooter away from high
grasses, dry leaves, or other flammables.

Oxygenated Fuels
Technical Information
Some conventional gasolines are being
blended with alcohol or an ether
compound. These gasolines are
collectively referred to as oxygenated
fuels. To meet clean air standards, some
areas of the United States and Canada use
oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is
unleaded and meets the minimum octane
rating requirement.
Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to
confirm the fuel’s contents. Some states/
provinces require this information to be
posted on the pump.
The following are the EPA-approved
percentages of oxygenates:
ETHANOL (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10%
by Volume
You may use gasoline containing up to
10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline
containing ethanol may be marketed
under the name ‘‘Gasohol’’.
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) 15%
by Volume
You may use gasoline containing up to
15% MTBE by volume.

How to Avoid Costly Repairs
Quick Reference
Quick Reference
The following is a brief, but important
collection of information you need to
know about your Honda. You’ll also find
space to record important notes. The engine of your Honda can be the most
expensive component to repair. Proper
maintenance, especially the use of the
recommended fluids and filters, prevents
premature wear and damage.
Frequent causes of costly repairs are:
Engine oil –– insufficient quantity,
improper oil.
Air cleaner –– dirty, leaking because of
improper installation (poor seal).
