Safety PrecautionsRefer to on page .
Use only premium unleaded fuel in your Honda. 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.
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 dealer.
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.
Your engine is designed to use any unleaded premium gasoline that has
a pump octane number of 91 or higher. Gasoline pumps at service
stations normally display the pump octane number. For information on
the use of oxygenated fuels, see page .
