There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You'll find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. Following are a few that we consider to be most important. AlwaysWearaHelmet It's a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. 50 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 2 ). Make Yourself Easy to See Some drivers do not see motorcycles because they are not looking for them. To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourseif 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 Pushing the 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 judgements and ride safely. Don’t Drink and Ride 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. Keep Your Bike in Safe Condition For safe riding, it's important to inspect your motorcycle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been approved by Honda for this motorcycle. See page 4 for more details. PROFECI'IVEAPPAREL For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, trousers, 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 proper gear. AWARNING 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 nde. Helmets 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 brightvcoloured helmet can make you more noticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips. An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a fullrtace helmet offers more. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision. Additional Riding Gear In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend: I Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles. - Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises. o A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright- coloured and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your motorcycle. LOAD LHVI'ITS AND GUIDELINES 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 tyres 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 affect your motorcycle’s handling, braking and stability. Non-Honda accessories, improper modifications, and poor maintenance can also reduce your safety margin. The following pages give more specific information on loading, accessories and modifications. Loading 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. AWARNING Overloading or improper loading can cause a crash and you can be seriously hurt or killed. Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this manuali Load Limits Following are the load limits for your motorcycle: Maximum weight capacity: 172 kg (379 lb) Includes the weight of the rider, passenger, all cargo and all accessories Maximum cargo weight: 10 kg (22 lb) The weight of added accessories will reduce the maximum cargo weight you can carry. Loading Guidelines Your motorcycle is primarily intended for transporting you and a passenger. You may wish to secure a jacket or other small items to the seat when you are not riding with a passenger. Ii you wish to any more cargo, thedr with your Honda dealer for advice, and be sure to read the information regarding accessories on page 6 . Improperly loading your motorcycle can affect its stability and handling. Even it your motorcycle is properly loaded, you should ride at reduced speeds and never exceed 130 km/h (80 mph) when carrying cargo. Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a passenger or cargo: - Check that both tyres are properly inflated (page 38 ). a It you change your normal load. you may need to adjust the front suspension (page 27 ) and the rear suspension (page 28). -To prevent loose items from creating a hazard. make sure that all cargo is securely tied down before you ride away. I Place cargo weight as close to the center of the motorcycle as possible. I Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides. Accessories and Modifications 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. AWARNING Improper accessories or modifications can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hun or killed. Follow all instructions in this owners manual regarding accessories and modifications. Accessories 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 ior proper selection, installation and use of non-Honda accessories. Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow these guidelines: IMake sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle, limit suspension travel or steering travel. alter your riding position or interfere with opemting any controls. tBe sure electrical equipment does not exceed the motorcycle‘s electrical system capacity (page 136) A blown fuse can cause a loss of lights or engine powerl 0 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. Modifications 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, mufflers, emission control system or other equipment can also make your motorcycle illegal.

Use a pin spanner (2) and extension bar (3) to adjust the rear shocks. Always adjust the shock absorber position in sequence (1-2345 or 54-3-24) Attempting to adjust directly from 1 to 5 or 5 to 1 may damage the shock absorber. Position 1 is for light loads and smooth road conditions. Positions 3 to 5 increase spring preload for a stiffer rear suspension, and can be used when the motorcycle is heavily loaded. Be certain to adjust both shock absorbers to the same position. Standard position: 2 28 (1) Shock absorber (2} En spanner (3) Extension bar BRAKES Both the front and rear brakes are the hydraulic disc types. As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level drops. There are no adjustments to perform. but fluid level and pad wear must be inspected periodically. The system must be inspected frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks. If the control lever or pedal free travel becomes excessive and the brake pads are not worn beyond the recommended limit (page 112 ), there is probably air in the brake system and it must be bled. See your Honda dealer for this service. Front Brake Fluid Level: With the motorcycle in an upright position, check the fluid level. It should be above the LOWER level mark (1). 1f the level is at or below the LOWER level mark, check the brake pads for wear (page 112 ). Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are not worn, have your brake system inspected for leaks. The recommended brake fluid is Honda DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container. or an equivalent.

The following pages give more detailed information on how and when to check your air pressure, how to inspect your tyres for damage, and what to do when your tyres need to be repaired or replaced. AWARNING Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurtor killed. Follow all instructions in this owners manual regarding tyre inflation and maintenance, 35 AirPressure Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides the best combination of handling, tread lite and riding comfort. Generally, underinflated tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect handling, and are more likely to fall from being overheated. Overinflated tyres make your motorcycle ride harshly, are more prone to damage from road hazards, and wear unevenly. We recommend that you visually check your tyres before every ride and use a gauge to measure air pressure at least once a month or any time you think the tyres might below. Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing ability if they are punctured. However, because leakage is often very slow, you should look closely lor punctures whenever a tyre is not fully inflated Always check air pressure when your tyres are “cold" 7 when the motorcycle has been parked for at least three hours. if you check air pressure when your tyres are “warm” 7 when the motorcycle has been ridden for even a few miles 7 the readings will be higher than if the tyres were “cold". This is normal, so do not let air out of the tyres to match the recommended cold air pressures given below, If you do, the tyres will be underinflated The recommended “cold" tyre pressures are: kPa fkgf/cm‘, psi) Driver Front 250 (2.50 , 36) only Rear 290 (2.90 , 42) Driver and Front 250 (2.50 , 36) one passenger Rear 290 (2.90 , 42) Inspection Whenever you check the tyre pressures, you should also examine the tyre treads and sidewalls for wear. damage, and foreign objects: Look for: o Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any bumps or bulges. a Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre Replaoe the tyre it you can see fabric or cord. . Excessive tread wear. Also, if you hit a pothole or hard object, pull to the side of the road as soon as you can safely and carefully inspect the tyres [or damage 39 TreadWear Replace tyres before tread depth at the center of the tyre reaches the following limit: Minimum tread depth Frant: 1.5 mm (0.06 in) Rear: 10 mm (0.08 in) (1) Wear indicator (2) Wear indicator loulion mark Tyre Repair If a tyre is punctured or damaged, you should replace it, not repair it. As discussed below, a tyre that is repaired, either temporarily or permanently, will have lower speed and performance limits than a new tyre. A temporary repair, such as an external tubeless tyre plug, may not be safe for normal speeds and riding Conditions. If a temporary or emergency repair is made to a tyre, you should ride slowly and cautiously to a dealer and have the tyre replaced. If possible, you should not carry a passenger or cargo until a new tyre is installed. Even if a tyre is professionally repaired with a permanent internal patch plug, it will not be as good as a new tyre. You should not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) for the first 24 hours, or 130 km/h (80 mph) at any time diereafter, In addition, you may not be able to safely Carry as much weight as with a new tyre. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you replace a damaged tyre. If you choose to have a tyre repaired, be] sure the wheel is balanced before you n e. ‘1 Tyre Replacement The tyres that came on your motorcycle were designed to match the performance capabilities of your motorcycle and provide the best combination of handling, braking. durability and comlort. AWARNING Installing improper tyres on your motorcycle can affect handling and stability. This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurl or killed. Always use the size and type oi tyres recommended in this owners manual. 42 The recommended tyres for your motorcycle are: Front: 110/80R18M/C 58V BRIDGESTONE BT754F RADIAL G DUNLOP DZOSF Rear: 140/70R18M/C 67V BRIDGESTONE BT-54R RADIAL G DUNLOP 0205 Type: radial, tubeless Whenever you replace a tyre, use one that is equivalent to the original and be sure the wheel is balanced after the new tyre is installed Important Safety Reminders I Have the wheel balanced‘l-Iunda Genuine balance weights or equivalents. a Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre on this motorcycle. Excessive heat build- up can cause the tube to burst. I Use only tuheless tyres on this motorcycle. The rims are designed for tubeless tyres, and during hard acceleration or braking, a tube-type tyre could slip on the rim and cause the tyre to rapidly deflate.

This motorcycle is equipped with a side stand ignition cut-off system The engine cannot be started if the side sland' is down, unless the transmission is in neutral. It the side stand is up, the engine can be started in neutral or in gear with the clutch lever pulled in. After starting with the side stand down. the engine will shut off if the transmission is put in gear before raising the side stand. To protect the catalytic converter in your motorcycle: exhaust system, avoid extending idling and the use of leaded petrol. Your motorcycle‘s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. High levels 01 carbon monoxide can collect rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even with the door open. run the engine only long enough to move your motorcycle out of the garage. Do not use the electric starter for more than 5 seconds at a time, Release the start button for approximately 10 seconds before pressing it again. Preparation Before starting, insert the key, turn the ignition switch 0N and confirm the following: - The transmission is in neutral (neutral indicator is ON). I The engine stop switch is at 0 (RUN). o The low oil pressure indicator is ON. 0 The PGMAFI malfunction indicator lamp MIL) is OFF. 0 The high oil temperature indicator is OFF. 0 The immobilizer system (HISS) indicator is OFF. 0 The ABS indicator is ON. (CBIIOOA) The low oil pressure indicator should go of! a few seconds after the engine starts. If the low oil pressure indicator lights during operation, stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. < CBl 100A > The ABS indicator should go off after you ride the motorcycle at a speed above 10 km/h (6 mph). Operating the engine with insufficient oil pressure can cause serious engine damage. Starting Procedure This motorcycle has a fuel-injected engine with an automatic choke. Follow the procedure indicated below. An Air Tem rature: l, *Ilfi the tlirott e completely closed, press the start button. The engine will not start if the throttle is fully open (because the electronic control module cuts 01! the fuel supply). Snapping the throttle or fast idling (or more than about 5 minutes at normal air tempera ture may cause exhaust pipe discoloration. Flooded Engine If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, it may be flooded. 1. Leave the engine stop switch set to O (RUN). 2. Open throttle fully. 3. Press the start button for 5 seconds. 4. Follow the normal starting procedure. If the engine starts with unstable idle, open the throttle slightly. If the engine does not start, wait for 10 seconds. then follow steps 1 *4 again. Ignition Cut Off Your motorcycle is designed to automatically stop the engine and fuel pump it the motorcycle is over-tumed (a banking sensor cuts off the ignition system). Before restarting the engine, you must turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and then back to ON. 67 RUNNING-IN Help assure your motorcycle‘s future reliability and performance by paying extra attention to how you ride during the first 500 km (300 miles). During this period, avoid full-throttle Stan: and rapid acceleration. 68 RIDING Review Motorcycle Safety (pages 1 7 7) before you ride. Make sure you understand the function of the side stand mechanism. (See MAIN» TENANCE SCHEDULE on page 82 and explanation for SIDE Sl'AND on page 105). Make sure flammable materials such as dry grass or leaves do not come in Contact with the exhaust system when riding. idling, or parking your motorcycle. L After the engine has been warmed up. the motorcycle is ready for riding. 2. While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch lever and depress the shift lever to shift into lst (low) gear. 3. Slowly release the clutch lever and at the same time gradually increase engine speed by opening the throttle. Coordination of the throttle and clutch lever will assure a smooth positive start. 4. When the motorcycle attains a moderate speed, close the throttle. pull in the clutch lever and shift to 2nd gear by raising the shift lever. This sequence is repeated to progressively shift to 3rd. 4th and 5th (top) gears. 5. Coordinate the throttle and brakes for smooth deceleratian. 6. Both front and rear brakes should be used at the same time and should not be applied strongly enough to lock the wheel, or braking effectiveness will be reduced and control of the motorcycle be difficult. 3 ‘5 0—1’ 70 BRAKmG < CBl 100A) Your motorcycle is equipped with a Combined Brake System. Operating the front brake lever applies the tront 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. < CB 1 100 > 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. For normal braking, apply both the brake pedal and lever while down-shifting to match your road speed. For maximum braking, close the throttle and (in-nly apply the pedal and lever; pull in the clutch lever before coming to a complete stop to prevent stalling the engine. Important Safety Reminders: 0 Independent operation of only the brake lever or brake pedal reduces stopping performance. 0 Extreme application of the brake controls may cause wheel lock, reducing control of the motorcycle, o When possible, reduce speed or brake before entering a turn; closing the throttle or braking in mid-tum may cause wheel slip, Wheel slip will reduce control of the motorcycle. 71 a When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces. the ability to maneuver and stop will he reduced All oi your actions should be smooth under these conditions. Rapid acceleration, braking or turning may cause loss oi control For your safety, exercise extreme caution when braking accelerating orturning. oWhen descending a long, steep grade, use engine compression braking by down- shifting, with intermittent use of both brakes. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness. 72 IRiding with your (not resting on the brake pedal or your hand on the brake lever may actuate the bmkelighlt giving a false indication to other drivers It may also overheat the brakes, reducing effectiveness. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) < CBl 100A> 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 7 if you are braking too hard in a turn the motorcycle can still lose traction, causing a loss of control. 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. ABS cannot make up for road conditions, had 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. ABS is self-checking and always on, CABS may be activated by riding over a sharp drop or rise in the road level. It is important to follow the tyre recommendations (pageSS ). The ABS computer works by comparing wheel speed. Non-recommended tyres can affect wheel speed and may confuse the ABS computer. .ABS does not function at low speeds (approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or below). - ABS does not function if the battery is discharged. 13 ABS Indicator < CB 1 1 00A > Normally, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) indicator comes on when the ignition is turned 0N, and goes nit after you ride the motorcycle at speed above 10 km/h (6 mph). If there is an ABS problem. the indicator lights or flashes and remains on. The ABS system does not operate when the ABS indicator is on If the ABS indicator comes on while riding, stop the motorcycle in a safe place and turn off the engine. Turn the ignition 0N again. The indicator should come on, and go off after you ride the motorcycle at speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph). If it does not go off, ABS is not functioning. but the brakes still work provide normal stopping ability. However, you should have the system checked by Honda dealer as soon as possible. 74 The ABS indicator may flash it 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 30 km/ h (19 mph). PARKING 1. After stopping the motorcycle, shift the transmission into neutral, turn the handlebar fully to the leit, turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the key. 2‘ Use the side or center stand to support the motorcycle while parked. Park the motorcycle on finn» level ground to prevent it from falling over. If you must park on a slight incline, aim the front of the motorcycle uphill to reduce the possibility of overturning or rolling off the center or side stand. 3‘ Lock the steering to help prevent theft (page 52 ). Make sure flammable materials such as dry grass or leaves do not come in contact with the exhaust system when parking your motorcycle. 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. 75 ANTI-mnTfl’S 1. Always lock the steering and never leave the key in the ignition switch This sounds simple but people do {orgetl 2. Be sure the registration inIormation for your motorcycle is accurate and current. 3. Park your motorcycle in a locked garage whenever possible. 4.
