Addition of accessories and cargo can reduce a motorcycle’s stability, performance and safe operating speed. Never ride an accessory-equipped motorcycle at speeds above 130 kln/h (80 mph). And remember that this 130 kin/h (80mph) limit may be reduced hy installation of non-Honda accessories, improper loading, worn tyres and overall motorcycle condition, poor road or weather conditions. These general guidelines may help you decide whether or how to equip your motorcycle and how to load it safely. Loading The combined weight of the rider. passenger. cargo and all aocessories must not exoeed the maximum weight capacim 185 kg (411 lbs) Cargo weight alone should not exceed: 27 kg (60 lbs) , Keep cargo and aocessory weight low and close to the center of the motorcycle. Load weight equally on both sides to minimize imbalance. As Weight is located further from the motorcycle's center of gravity, handling is proportionally affected. 2.Adjusl tyre pressure (page 30) and rear suspension (page 16) to suit load weight and riding conditions. 3. Vehicle handling and stability can be adversely affected by loose cargo. Recheck cargo security and accessory mounts frequently. 4. The Honda fairing is designed for this motorcycle only. Do not install it on any other motorcycle. 5. Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a sleeping bag or tent) to the handlebars, torlc or fender. Unstable handling or slow steering response may result. Accessories Genuine Honda accessories have been specifically designed for and tested on this motorcycle. Because the factory cannot test all other accessories, you are personally responsible for proper selection, installation, and use of non-Honda accessories. Always follow the guidelines under Loading, and these: 1. Carefully inspect the accessory to make sure it does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle, or limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation. 2‘ Large fork-mounted {airings or Windshields, or poorly designed or improperly mounted (airings can produce aerodynamic forces that cause unstable handling Do not install [airings that decrease cooling air flow to the engine 3. Accessories which alter your riding position by moving hands or feet away from controls may increase reaction time in an emergency. 4. Do not add electrical equipment that will exceed the motorcycle‘s electrical system capacity. A blown fuse could cause a dangerous loss at lights or engine power. 5. This motorcycle was not designed to pull a Sidecar or trailer. Handling may be seriously impaired if so equipped. 6.

Use only high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion protection inhibitors specifically recommended for use in aluminum engines. (SEE ANT lFREEZE CONTAINER IABEL). CAUTION: t Use only law-mineral drinking water or distilled water as a part of the antifreeze solution. Water that is high in mineral content or salt may be harmful to the aluminum engine. ' 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. 24 The factory provides a 50/50 solution of antifreeze and distilled water in this motorcycle. This coolant solution is recommended for most operating temperatures and provides good corrosion protection. A higher concentration of antilreeze decreases the cooling system performance and is recommended only when additional protection against freezing is needed. A concentration of less than 40/ 60 (40 % antilreeze) will not provide proper corrosion protection. During freezing temperatures, check the cooling system frequently and add higher concentrations of antifreeze (up to a maximum of 60 96 antifreeze) it required. Inspection The reserve tank is behind the frame, Check the coolant level in the reserve tank (1) while the engine is at the normal operating temperature with the motorcycle in an upright position If the coolant level is below the LOWER level mark (3), remove the seat (page 42) and reserve tank cap (4) and add coolant mixture until it reaches the UPPER level mark (2). Always add coolant to the reserve tank. Do not attempt to add coolant by removing the radiador cap, (1) Reserve tank (3) LOWER level mark (2) UPPER level mark [AWARNIHG ' Do not remove the radiator can when the engine is hot.

The fuel fill cap is hinged and will lift up. After refueling, to close the fuel fill cap. push the fuel fill cap into the filler neck until it snaps closed and locks. Remove the key. Etcept U, lIG,SW: Use unleaded or low«|ead petrol with a research octane number of 91 or higher. We recommend that you use unleaded petrol because it produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust system components For U, 11 G,SW only Use unleaded petrol with a research octane ggmber of 91 or higher. CAUTION: . If “spark knock” or “pin-king” occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load. change brands of petrol. 1r spark knock or pinking persists, consult your Honda dealer. Failure to do so is consi ered misuse, and dam- age caused by misuse is not covered by Honda’s Limited Warranty. (1) Fuel fill cap (2) Ignition key (3) Filler neck (3) t Petrol is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where petml is stored or where the fuel tank is refueled. . Do not overfill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck (3)). After refueling, make sure the fuel fill cap is closed securely. 0 Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite. If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the engine. ’Avoid repeated or prolonged Contact with skin or breathing of vapor. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. 27 Petrol Containing Alcohol If you decide to use a petrol containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure it’s octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda‘ There are two types of “gasohol”: one containing ethanol, and the other con- taining methanol Do not use petrol that contains more than 10 96 ethanol. Do not use petrol conmining methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors [or methanol. Never use petrol con ng more than 5 96 methanol. even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. 28 NOTE: - Fuel system damage or engine pertomia- nce problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered under the warranty. Honda cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of their suitability is as yet incomplete. oBetore buying fuel from an unlamiliar station. try to find out if the fuel contains alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used It you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using a petrol that contains alcohol, or one that you think contains alcohol, switch to a petrol that you know does not contain alcohol ENGINE 0“. Engine Oil Level Check Check the engine oil level each day before riding the motorcycle. The level must be maintained between the upper (1) and lower (2) level marks on the dipstick (3). 1. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Make sure the red low oil pressure indicator goes oft If the light remains on, shop the engine immediately. 2. Stop the engine and put the motorcycle on its center stand on level ground 3. After a few minutes, remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert the dipstick without screwing it in. Remove the dipstick The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. it It required, remove the oil filler cap (4) and add the specified oil (see page 71) up no the upper level mark Do not overiill. 5. Reinstall the dipstick and oil filler cap. Check for oil leaks. CAUTION: - Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.

STARTING THE ENGINE Always follow the proper starting procedure described below, This motorcycle is equipped with a side stand ignition cutoff system. The engine cannot be started if the side stand us down, unless the transmissio 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. AWARNIN ,1 ' Never run the engine in an enclosed area. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can cause loss of consciousness and lead to death. NOTE: ’ Do not use the electric starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. Release the starter button (or approximately 10 seconds before pressing it again. 54 Preparation Before starting, insert the key, turn the ignition switch ON and confirm the iollowing: ° The transmission is in NEUTRAL (neutral indicator light ON). 0 The engine stop switch is at O (RUN) 0 The red low oil pressure indicator is ON. 0 The immobilizer system indicator is OFF. c The PGM-FI indicator is OFF. Starting Procedure This motorcycle has an automatic choke, Follow the procedure indicated below. M1 Air Temperature 0 Press the starter button with the throttle completely closed. NOTE: tDo not open the throttle fully when starting the engine. CAUTION: *The red low oil pressure indicator should go off a few seconds after the engine starts. If the light stays on, stop the engine immediately and check engine oil level. Operating the engine with insuf ent oil pressure can cause serious engine damage. Flooded engine It the engine fails to start after repeated attempts. it may be flooded engine, 1. Leave the engine stop switch set to 0 (RUN) 2. Open throttle lully. 3. Press the starter button far 5 seconds 4. Then follow the normal starting procedure 5. If the engine start. then open the throttle slightly if idling is unstable. If the engine does not start, wait (or 10 seconds, then follow steps 14 again. 56 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 suns and rapid acceleration. 57 WARNlNG - Review Motorcycle Safety (pages 1 7 5 ) before you ride. NOTE: ‘ Make sure you understand the function of the side stand mechanism. (See MAIN- TENANCE SCHEDULE on page 64 and explanation for SIDE STAND on page 90 ) 14 Alter 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 gearshift pedal to shift into lst (low) gear. 3. Slowly release the clutch lever and at the same time gmdually increase engine speed by opening the throttle. Coordination of the throttle and clutch lever will assure a smooth positive start. 58 4. When the motorcycle attains a moderate speed. close the throttle, pull in the clutch lever and shift to 2nd gear by raising the gearshift pedal. This sequence is repeated to progres sively shift to 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th(top) gear, 5. Coordinate the throttle and brakes for smooth deceleration. 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. BRAKING This motorcycle is equipped with a Dual Combined Brake System. Operating the front brake lever applies the front brake and a portion of the rear 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 As with a conventional motorcycle braking system. excessively hard application of the brake controls may cause wheel lock, reducing control of the motorcycle. For normal braking, apply both the bmke lever and brake pedal While downshifting to match your road speedi For maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply the lever and pedal. Pull in the clutch lever belore coming to a complete stop to prevent stalling the engine. Important Safety Relnindets: . When possible, reduce speed or brake before entering a turn; closing the throttle or braking in mid~turn may cause wheel slip. Wheel slip will reduce control of the motorcycle. . When riding in wet or rainy condi- tions, or on loose surfaces, the ability to maneuver and step will he reduced. All of your actions should be smooth under these conditions. Rapid accel- eration, braking or turning may cause loss of control. For your safety, exer- cise extreme caution when braking, accelerating or turning. - When descending a long, steep grade. use eng’ne compression braking by downshifting, with intermittent use of both brakes. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness. tRiding with your foot resting on the brake pedal or your hands on the brake lever may actuate the brakelight, giving a false indication to other drivers. It may also overheat the brake, reducing effectiveness. PARKING 1. After stopping the motorcycle, shift the transmission into neutral, turn the handlebar fully to the left. turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the key, 2. Use the side or center stand to support the motorcycle while parked. CAUTION: ' Park the motorcycle on firm, 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 rolling off the side stand or overturning. 3. Lock the steering to help prevent theft (page 40 ). 61 ANT I-THEl-T TIPS 1. Always lock the steering and never leave the key in the ignition switch. This sounds simple but people do [orget 2‘ Be sure the registration inlormation for your motorcycle is accurate and current, 3. Park your motorcycle in a locked garage Bl good quality. 5.
