Important Safety Information
Motorcycle Safety
Always Wear a HelmetYour motorcycle 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.
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 ).

Important Safety Information
Motorcycle Safety
Ride Defensively
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Make Yourself Easy to See
You and
Your Motorcycle Riding Tips,
The most frequent motorcycle collision
happens when a car turns left in front of a
motorcycle. 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 motorcycle (USA only).
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,
take time to become familiar with how
this motorcycle works and handles.
Practice in a safe area until you build your
skills and get accustomed to the
motorcycle’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 motorcycles
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.

Ride within Your Limits Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
Don’t Drink and Ride
Motorcycle Safety
Important Safety Information
Pushing limits is another major cause of
motorcycle 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 motorcycle
properly maintained and in safe riding
condition. To help avoid problems, inspect
your motorcycle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance.
Never exceed load limits (page ), and
do not modify your motorcycle (page )
or install accessories that would make
your motorcycle unsafe (page ).
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.

Follow all instructions in this
owner’s manual regarding
accessories and modifications.

Accessories
Accessories & Modifications
Motorcycle Safety
Modifying your motorcycle or using non-
Honda accessories can make your
motorcycle 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 motorcycle. 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 dealer for assistance and
always follow these guidelines:
Make sure the accessory does not
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)

Modifications
Accessories & Modifications
Motorcycle Safety
Do not add any electrical equipment
that will exceed the motorcycle’s
electrical 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
motorcycle. This motorcycle was not
designed for these attachments, and
their use can seriously impair your
motorcycle’s handling.
We strongly advise you not to remove any
original equipment or modify your
motorcycle in any way that would change
its design or operation. Such changes
could seriously impair your motorcycle’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
motorcycle illegal.

Protective Apparel
Are You Ready to Ride?
Before Riding
Before you ride your motorcycle for the
first time, we urge you to:
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.
Youarewearinganapproved
motorcycle helmet (with chin strap
tightened securely), eye protection, and
other protective clothing.
Make sure your passenger is ready to ride,
too, and is wearing proper gear including a
helmet.
You don’t have any alcohol or drugs in
your system.
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.
１０／１２／１３ ０９：３７：５０ ３１ＭＦＮＡ００ ００５１
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:

Loading
Load Limits & Guidelines
Before Riding
Your motorcycle 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 motorcycle
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 motorcycle’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
motorcycle, 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.

Shifting Gears
Basic Operation & Riding
Learning when to shift gears comes with
experience. Keep the following tips in
mind:
Close the throttle and pull the clutch
lever in completely before shifting.
Improper shifting may damage the
engine, transmission, and drive train.
Learn to recognize the engagement
point as you release the clutch lever. It
is at this point the transmission of
power to the rear wheel resumes.
Upshift to a higher gear or reduce
throttle before engine rpm (speed) gets
too high. Learn the relationship between
engine sound and the normal shifting
points.
As a general rule, shift while moving in
a straight line.
Downshift to a lower gear before you
feel the engine laboring (lugging) at
low rpm.
Your motorcycle has six forward gears in
a one-down, five-up shift pattern which is
coordinated with a hydraulically actuated
clutch system.
１０／１２／１３ ０９：４０：２４ ３１ＭＦＮＡ００ ００６９
61
Shifting Gears
Basic Operation & Riding
Shifting Up:
Shifting Down:
Avoid downshifting to help slow your
motorcycle when engine rpm is near its
allowable maximum (near the
tachometer red zone). In this situation,
the rev limiter in the engine ignition
control module may not prevent
excessive engine speed which could
damage the engine.
To prevent transmission damage, do not
coast or tow the motorcycle for long
distances with the engine off.
Recommended Shift Points
Ride in the highest gear that lets the
engine run and accelerate smoothly. This
will give you good fuel economy and
effective emissions control. When
changing gears under normal conditions,
use these recommended shift points:
From 1st to 2nd:
From 2nd to 3rd:
From 3rd to 4th:
From 4th to 5th:
From 5th to 6th:
12 mph (20 km/h)
19 mph (30 km/h)
25 mph (40 km/h)
31 mph (50 km/h)
37 mph (60 km/h)
From 6th to 5th:
From 5th to 4th:
From 4th to 3rd:
28 mph (45 km/h)
22 mph (35 km/h)
16 mph (25 km/h)
Pull the clutch lever in when speed drops
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when engine
roughness is evident, or when engine
stalling is imminent; and shift down to 1st
gear for acceleration.

Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
(CB1000R) (CB1000R ABS)
Your motorcycle is equipped with disc
braking systems which are hydraulically
activated. Operating the brake lever
applies the front disc brake. Depressing
the brake pedal applies the rear disc brake.
Your motorcycle is equipped with a
Combined Braking System. Operating the
front brake lever applies the front brake.
Operating the rear brake pedal applies the
rear brake and a portion of the front brake.
For full braking effectiveness, use both
the lever and pedal simultaneously, as you
would with a conventional motorcycle
braking system.
For full braking effectiveness, use both
the lever and pedal simultaneously. Using
both braking systems will stop your
motorcycle faster with greater stability.
This model is also equipped with an Anti-
lock Brake System (page ).65
１０／１２／１３ ０９：４０：４２ ３１ＭＦＮＡ００ ００７１
63
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
Gradually increase braking as you feel the
brakes slowing your speed. The increase
in engine compression from downshifting
will help slow your motorcycle.
To prevent stalling the engine, pull the
clutch lever in before coming to a
complete stop. For support, put your left
foot down first, then your right foot when
you have finished braking.
Applying the brakes too hard may cause
the wheels to lock and slide, reducing
control of your motorcycle. If this happens,
release the brake controls, steer straight
ahead until you regain control, then
reapply the brakes more gently.
As a general rule, the front braking system
provides about 70 percent of total stopping
power.
To slow or stop, apply the brake lever and
brake pedal smoothly, while downshifting
to match your speed.
１０／１２／１３ ０９：４０：４８ ３１ＭＦＮＡ００ ００７２
64
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
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 motorcycle.
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 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.
Riding with your foot resting on the
brake pedal or your hand on the brake
lever may actuate the brakelight, giving
a false indication to other drivers. It
may also overheat the brakes, reducing
effectiveness.
When descending a long, steep grade,
use engine compression braking by
downshifting, with intermittent use of
both brakes. Continuous brake
application can overheat the brakes and
reduce their effectiveness.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
(CB1000R ABS)
ABS cannot make up for road conditions,
bad judgment, or improper operation of
the brakes. It is still your responsibility to
ride at reasonable speeds for weather, road
surface, and traffic conditions, and to
leave a margin of safety.
In some situations, a motorcycle with ABS
may require a longer stopping distance to
stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an
equivalent motorcycle without ABS.
This model is also equipped with an Anti-
lock Brake System (ABS) designed to help
prevent wheel lock up during hard braking
on uneven or other poor surfaces while
running straight. Although the wheel may
not lock up if you are braking too hard
in a turn the motorcycle can still lose
traction, causing a loss of control.
ABS does not function if the battery is
discharged.
ABS may be activated by riding over a
sharpdroporriseintheroadlevel.
It is important to follow the tire
recommendations (page ). The ABS
computer works by comparing wheel
speed. Non-recommended tires can affect
wheel speed and may confuse the ABS
computer.
ABS is self-checking and is always on.
ABS does not function at low speeds
(approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or
below).

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Indicator
Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
(CB1000R ABS)
Normally, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
indicator comes on when the ignition is
turned ON, and goes off after you ride the
motorcycle at speed above 6 mph (10
km/h). If there is an ABS problem, the
indicator comes on and remains on. The
ABS system does not operate when the
ABS indicator is on.
The ABS indicator may come on if you
turn the rear wheel while the motorcycle is
upright on the stand. This is normal. Turn
the ignition OFF, then turn it ON. The
indicator should come on, then go off
after you run the motorcycle above 6 mph
(10 km/h).
If the ABS indicator comes on while
riding, stop the motorcycle in a safe place
and turn off the engine.
Turn the ignition ON again. The indicator
should come on, and go off after you ride
the motorcycle at speeds above 6 mph (10
km/h). If it does not go off, ABS is not
functioning, but the brakes still work as
part of the Combined Braking System and
provide normal stopping ability. However,
you should have the system checked by
your dealer as soon as possible.

Parking
Basic Operation & Riding
Catalytic Converter
Look for a level parking area. If you
can’t park on a paved surface, make
sure the ground surface is firm,
especially under the side stand.
If you must park on a hill, leave the
transmission in gear and position the
rear tire against the curb at a 45 degree
angle.
Make sure flammable materials such as
dry grass or leaves do not come in
contact with the exhaust system when
parking your motorcycle. Refer to
,page .
To avoid possible heat damage to your
motorcycle or personal belongings, do not
cover the exhaust muffler with a
protective cover or any clothing within 20
minutes after shutting off the engine.
Use the side stand to support the
motorcycle while parked.
To lower the side stand, use your foot
to guide it down. Remember that
lowering the side stand with the
transmission in gear will stop the
engine, even if the clutch lever is
pulled in. That is a function of the
side stand ignition cut-off system.
Check that the side stand is down all
the way so that the side stand ignition
cut-off system (page ) is activated.
If you have to park on a soft surface,
insert something solid under the side
stand for support.

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.
Park your motorcycle 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.
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 motorcycle to a waiting truck.
In addition to the steering lock, use a
good quality anti-theft device made
specifically to lock a motorcycle to a
secure object.
The rear fender has a storage
compartment to store a U-shaped lock
under the rear seat. Some U-shaped
locks may not be stored in the
compartment due to their size or design.

Important Safety Precautions
Maintenance Safety
Servicing Your Honda
Carbon monoxide poisoning from
engine exhaust.
Burns from hot motorcycle 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 help prevent the motorcycle from
falling over, park it on a firm, level
surface, using the side stand or a
maintenance stand to provide support.
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.

Servicing Your Honda
Safety PrecautionsRefer to on page .
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.
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.
Your engine is designed to use any
unleaded gasoline that has a 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 .

Engine Oil & Filter
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.
Using the proper oil (page ) and filter,
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.
Change the engine oil as specified in the

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.
Your motorcycle’s liquid cooling system
dissipates engine heat through the coolant
jacket that surrounds the cylinder and
cylinder head.
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.
Maintaining the coolant will allow the
cooling system to work properly and
prevent freezing, overheating, and
corrosion.
The factory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and water in this motorcycle.
This coolant solution is recommended for
most operating temperatures and provides
good corrosion protection.
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.

Decreasing the concentration of antifreeze
to less than 40% will not provide proper
corrosion protection.
Increasing the concentration of antifreeze

Suspension
Servicing Your Honda
Your front and rear suspension systems
use springs, hydraulic damping devices,
and linkages (rear only) that suspend your
weight and most of the weight of your
motorcycle.
The spring pre-loads for your front and
rear suspension systems adjust the amount
of force required to begin compression of
the spring.
Consider adjusting your suspension
whenever you change your normal load,
by adding or subtracting a passenger,
cargo, or accessories, or when the road or
riding conditions change.
The oil damper systems hydraulically
control the natural compression and
rebound of the suspension springs so that
traction and comfort are maintained as the
wheels ride over road surfaces.
The way you ride your motorcycle and the
type of ride you want to experience can
also influence your suspension needs.
You may adjust the spring pre-load and
the rebound damping of both suspension
systems.
You may also adjust the compression
damping of the front suspension system.

Front Suspension Adjustment
Suspension
Servicing Your Honda
Lower spring pre-load and softer damping
provide a softer ride and are usually
preferred for light loads and smooth roads.
Higher spring pre-load and firmer
damping provide a firmer ride and are
recommended for heavy loads, rough road
conditions, and faster, more challenging
riding.
The front suspension can be adjusted for
rider (and passenger) weight and riding
conditions by changing the spring pre-load
and rebound and compression damping.
To adjust, use an appropriate tool or see
your dealer.

Front Brake Lever Adjustment
Brakes
Servicing Your Honda
Safety Precautions
The hydraulic braking systems on your
motorcycle dissipate the heat generated by
the friction of the brake pads on the brake
discs as the wheels are slowed.
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid
level will drop. A leak in the system will
also cause the level to drop.
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 or brake pedal 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 dealer to
have the air bled from the system.
Refer to on page .
The distance between the tip of the brake
lever and the grip may be adjusted.

Safety Precautions
To safely operate your motorcycle, 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.
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 motorcycle 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.
Always check air pressure when your tires
are ‘‘cold’’, after the motorcycle has been
parked for at least three hours. If you
check air pressure when your tires are
‘‘warm’’ –– even if your motorcycle 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.
The recommended ‘‘cold’’ tire pressures
are:

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

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.

Drive Chain
Servicing Your Honda
An endless (riveted master link) chain
connects the countershaft and rear wheel
sprockets. The O-ring chain uses rubber
rings between the side plates of the pin
and roller links to seal in the
manufacturer-installed lubricating grease
and keep out moisture and dirt.
Under severe usage, or when the
motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty or
muddy areas, more frequent maintenance
will be necessary.
The service life of the chain depends on
proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor
maintenance can cause premature wear or
damage to the drive chain or sprockets.
The drive chain should be checked,
adjusted, and lubricated as part of the pre-
ride inspection (page ).
Before servicing your drive chain, turn the
engine OFF, lower the side stand, and
check that your transmission is in neutral.
It is not necessary to remove or replace the
drive chain to perform the recommended
service in the Maintenance Schedule.

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 motorcycle. A
clean motorcycle is also easier to inspect
and service.
Refer to on page .
To clean your motorcycle, 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
Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents that
could damage the metal, paint, and
plastic on your motorcycle.
If your motorcycle is still warm from
recent operation, give the engine and
exhaust system time to cool off.
Park in a shady area. Washing your
motorcycle 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 motorcycle regularly to
protect surface finishes.

High pressure water (or air) can damage
certain parts of your motorcycle.
We recommend the use of a garden
hose to wash your motorcycle. High
pressure washers (like those at coin-
operated car washes) can damage
certain parts of your motorcycle.
After cleaning, inspect for damage,
wear, and leaks (fuel, oil, coolant, brake,
and clutch fluid).

Washing Your Motorcycle with a
Mild Detergent
Appearance Care
Servicing Your Honda
Safety PrecautionsRefer to on page .
Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly with
cool water to remove loose dirt.
Fill a bucket with cool water. Mix in a
mild, neutral detergent, such as dish
washing liquid or a product made
especially for washing motorcycles or
automobiles.
Wash your motorcycle with a sponge or
a soft towel. As you wash, check for
heavy grime. If necessary, use a mild
cleaner/degreaser to remove the grime.
Clean the headlight, fairing, meter lens
and other plastic parts using a cloth or
sponge dampened with a solution of
mild detergent and water. When
cleaning the plastic headlight lens, use
more care because it will scratch easier
than a glass lens. Rub any soiled area,
gently rinsing it frequently with fresh
water.
If the inside of the headlight lens
appears clouded immediately after
washing, it should clear after a few
minutes of riding.

Spray Cleaning Your Motorcycle
Appearance Care
Servicing Your Honda
Safety Precautions
After washing, rinse your motorcycle
thoroughly with plenty of clean water to
remove any residue. Detergent residue
can corrode alloy parts.
Dry your motorcycle with a chamois or
a soft towel. Leaving water on the
surface to air dry can cause dulling and
water spots. As you dry, inspect for
chips and scratches.
Lubricate the drive chain to prevent
rusting.
Start the engine and let it idle for
several minutes. The engine heat will
help dry moist areas.
As a precaution, ride your motorcycle at
a slow speed and apply the brakes
several times. This will help dry the
brakes and restore normal braking
performance.

Tips
If your motorcycle needs to be transported,
it should be carried on a motorcycle trailer,
or a truck or trailer with a flatbed area. Do
not tow your motorcycle, as towing can
seriously damage the transmission.
When contacting a towing or transporting
service, be sure to ask if they have a
flatbed area, a loading ramp or power
ramp to safely lift the motorcycle, and
motorcycle tie-down straps.

You & the Environment
Tips
Owning and riding a motorcycle can be
enjoyable, but you must do your part to
protect nature.
Following are tips on how you can be an
environmentally responsible motorcycle
owner.
Use a
biodegradable detergent when you wash
your motorcycle. 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.
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.

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
side 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 Motorcycle Transported
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.
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
motorcycle transported to your 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 .175
１０／１２／１３ ０９：５８：５０ ３１ＭＦＮＡ００ ０１９３
Riding your motorcycle 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.
185
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 motorcycle (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.

Should You Repair or Replace a
Tire?
If You Have a Flat Tire
Taking Care of the Unexpected
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.
Theideahereistodo
something to temporarily stop the leak.
If you have a tubeless tire repair kit,
you can pull out the nail and try
insertinganexternalpluginthe
puncture. Follow the instructions that
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
discussion of repairs and replacement, see

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 coolant temperature on your
temperature meter will rise and then level
off. Hot weather may cause the
temperature to rise higher than normal. So
will temporary stress such as climbing a
hill. If you’re stuck in stop-and-go traffic,
the temperature may climb some, but the
radiator fan is designed to prevent
overheating. Be aware of these variations
as you monitor the meter.
If there’s no obvious problem, leave the
engine on so the fan and coolant
circulating system can continue
working. Monitor the temperature meter.
The temperature may drop to the
normal range after a brief stop with no
load on the engine.
If the coolant temperature display begins
to flash and the high coolant temperature
indicator comes on for no apparent reason,
pull safely to the side of the road. If
possible, park in a shady area.

If Your Engine Overheats
Taking Care of the Unexpected
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 coolant
temperature meter flashes and the high
coolant temperature indicator comes on,
turn the engine off.
If the radiator fan is working, visually
check the coolant level in the reserve
tank, located behind the left shroud
(page ). It isn’t necessary to touch
the radiator system.
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 meter.
If the temperature doesn’t drop, do not
ride. The engine needs repair. Transport
your motorcycle to your dealer (page
).
If the temperature drops to normal,
check the coolant level. If it has gone
down, add more coolant.
If you are able to resume riding, continue
to monitor the meter frequently.
If there’s a mild leak, you can ride for
awhile, carefully watching the meter. Be
prepared to stop and add more coolant or
water. If the leak is bad, transport your
motorcycle to your dealer (page ).175

Taking Care of the Unexpected
Continuing to ride with low oil pressure
can cause serious engine damage.
Check for an oil leak.
Then check the oil level. If necessary,
add the recommended oil (page ) to
the upper level mark. If you must leave
your motorcycle to get oil, secure it as
much as possible.
Lowoilpressuremaybecausedbyanoil
leak, a low oil level, or some problem in
the engine’s lubrication system.
If you check your engine oil level
regularly, you should never see the low oil
pressure indicator comes on while riding.
Normally, it will only light momentarily
when you turn the ignition switch ON.
Occasionally, it may flicker at or near
idling speed.
If the indicator comes on while you’re
riding, don’t ignore it. Pull safely to the
side of the road. If possible, pull the clutch
lever in and coast to a stop. Stop the
engine as soon as it’s safe to do so.
After adding oil, start the engine, and
check that the low oil pressure indicator
goes off. Check for a possible leak.
If the indicator goes off and there is no
leak –– resume riding. If there is a leak
–– do not ride the motorcycle until the
leak is repaired by your dealer.

If a Fuse Blows
Taking Care of the Unexpected
All of the electrical circuits on your
motorcycle have fuses to protect them
from damage caused by excess current
flow (short circuit or overload).
If something electrical on your motorcycle
stops working, the first thing you should
check for is a blown fuse.
Determine from the chart on the circuit
fuse box cover which fuse or fuses control
that component. Check those fuses first,
but check all the fuses before looking
elsewhere for another possible cause of
the problem. Replace any blown fuses and
check component operation.
Recommended Fuses
The circuit fuse box is located under the
front seat.
The spare fuses are located in the fuse
box.
ThemainfuseandtheFIfuseare
located on the starter motor magnetic
switch under the front seat.
To prevent an accidental short circuit,
turn the ignition switch OFF before
checking or replacing the fuses.

If You Crash
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Transporting Your Motorcycle,
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 motorcycle
thoroughly checked at a qualified service
facility as soon as possible. Also, be sure
to have your dealer check the frame and
suspension after any serious crash.
If you decide that you are capable of
riding safely, first evaluate the condition
of your motorcycle. 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.
If your motorcycle cannot be ridden, see

If You Lose Your Key
Taking Care of the Unexpected
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 motorcycle to them or the
nearest 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.
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.
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.
You should receive a key number plate
( ) with your keys. Store this plate in a
safe place.

If Your Battery Is Low (or Dead)
Taking Care of the Unexpected
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 motorcycle’s electrical
system.
Bump starting is also not recommended.
If you can’t charge the battery or it
appears unable to hold a charge, contact
your dealer.

made although periodic inspection of the
components is recommended.
The PGM-FI system uses sequential
multiport fuel injection. It 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 to inject under all
operating conditions.

Secondary Air Injection System
Three-Way Catalytic Converter
Evaporative Emission Control System
(USA 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 ), nitrogen (N ), and water vapor.
This motorcycle 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.

of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), the California Air
Resources Board (CARB), and
Environment Canada (EC). The fuel tank,
fuel hoses, and fuel vapor charge hoses

Technical Information
Catalytic Converter
A defective catalytic converter contributes
to air pollution, and can impair your
engine’s performance. Follow these
guidelines to protect your motorcycle’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
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.
This motorcycle 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 motorcycle 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.
(cont’d)
１０／１２／１３ １０：０５：４５ ３１ＭＦＮＡ００ ０２４０
232
Oxygenated Fuels
Technical Information
Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and
plastic. Damage caused by spilled fuel is
not covered by warranty.
Fuel system damage or performance
problems resulting from the use of an
oxygenated fuel containing more than the
percentages of oxygenates mentioned
above are not covered under warranty.
Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and
plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when
filling the fuel tank. Wipe up any spills
immediately.
If you notice any undesirable operating
symptoms, try another service station or
switch to another brand of gasoline.
METHANOL (methyl or wood alcohol)
5% by Volume
You may use gasoline containing
methanol containing up to 5% methanol
by volume as long as it also contains
cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to
protect the fuel system. Gasoline
containing more than 5% methanol by
volume may cause starting and/or
performance problems. It may also
damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts
of your fuel system.

Sometimes, in spite of the best intentions
of all concerned, a misunderstanding may
occur. If you aren’t satisfied with your
dealer’s handling of the situation, we
suggest you discuss your problem with the
appropriate member of the dealership’s
management team. If the problem has
already been reviewed with the Service
Manager, Parts Manager, Sales Manager,
etc., contact the Owner of the dealership
or their designated representative.

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.
