Addition of accessories and cargo can reduce a motorcycle's stab“ ty, performance and safe opera- ting speed. Never ride an accesso- ry-equipped motorcycle at speeds above 130 km/h 180 mph). And remember that this 130 km/h (80 mph) limit may be reduced by installation of non-Honda accesso- ries, 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 additional accesso- ries must not exceed the maximum Weight capacity: 190 kg (418.9 Ibsi~~ Except lor MX 166 kg (366.0 lbsi- ' MX Cargo weight alone should not exceed: 27 kg (60 lbs) L Keep cargo and accessory 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. ‘Adiust tyre pressure (pageSl), front suspension (page 13) and rear suspen» sion (page 15) to suit load weight and riding conditions no 3. Vehicle handling and stability can be adversely affected by loose cargo, Recheck cargo security and accessory mounts frequently «ii 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, fork, or fenderr Unstable handling or slow steering response may result Accessories Genuine Honda accessories have been specifically designed for and tested on Ms 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 oper 2. Large fork-mounted fai ngs or Windshields, or poorly designed or improperly mounted fairings can produce aerodynamic forces that cause unstable handling, Do not install {airings that decrease cooling air flow to the engine. L’nAccessories which alter your riding position by moving hands or feet away from controls may increase reaction time in an emergency. 4rDo not add electrical equipment that will exceed the motorcycle’s electrical system capacity. A blown fuse could cause a dangerous loss of 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.Any modification of the cooling system may cause overheating and serious engine damage. Do not modify the radiator shrouds or install accessories which block or deflect air away from the radiator.

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 87). there is probably air in the brake system and it must be bled See your authorized Honda dealer for this service. 18 Front Brake Fluid Level: i ’VARNlN ' Brake fluid may cause irritation.

(SEE ANTll-‘REEZE CONTAIN- ER LABEL). CAUTION: * Use only low-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. 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 antifreeze decreases the cooling system performance and is recommended only when additional protection against freezing is needed A concentration of less than 40/60 (40% antifreeze) 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% antifreeze) if required, Inspection The reserve tank is behind the right side cover, 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 low, remove the right side cover (Page 41 )Remove the reserve tank cal) (4) and add coolant mixture until it reaches the UPPER level mark (2L Do not remove the radiator cap.

Refuel in a well- ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where petrol is stored or where the fuel tank is refueled. . Do not averfill the tank (there should he no fuel in the filler neck (4)). After refueling, make sure the fuel cap is closed securely. ‘ 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. 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 methanoli Do not use petrol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use petrol containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanoli Never use petrol containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. NOTE: 1 Fuel system damage or engine per“ formance 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, NOTE: ' Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the fuel contains alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used If 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. 29 ENGINE OIL Engine Oil Level Check Check the engine oil level each day before riding the motorcycle The level must be maintained between the upper (2) and lower (3) level marks on the dipstick (1» 1r Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.

If the light stays on, stop the engine immedi- ately and check engine oil level. Operating the engine with insuffi- cient oil pressure can cause seri- ous engine damage. 3. Immediately after the engine starts, operate the choke lever (l) to keep fast idle at: 2000—2500 min" (rpm) 4,About a half minute after the engine starts, push the choke lever (1 ) forward all the way to Fully OFF (8), 5 If idling is unstable, open the throttle slightly. High Air Temperature 35°C 195 °F or above L Do not use the choke. 2‘ Open the throttle slightly, 3. Start the engine. ’ T 10°C 50°F or below 1. Follow steps 1—2 under “Normal Air Temperature" 2. When engine rpm begins to pick up, operate the choke lever to keep fast idle at: 2000—1500 min" (rpm) 3. Continue warming up the engine until it runs smoothly and responds to the throttle when the choke lever (1) is at Fully OFF (B), CAUTION: e Snapping the throttle or fast idling for more than about 5 minutes at normal air tempera- ture may cause exhaust pipe discoloration. ‘ Extended use of the choke may impair piston and cylinder wall lubrication. 49 Flooded Engine If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, it may be flooded with excess fuel. To clear a flooded engine. turn the engine stop switch to OFF and push the choke lever forward to Fully OFF (B), Open the throttle fully and crank the engine for 5 seconds. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the engine stop switch to RUN 23d follow the Starting Procedure (page )‘ 50 RUNNING-IN During initial running-in newly machined surfaces will be in contact with each other and these surfaces will wear in quickly. Running—in maintenance at 1,000km (600 miles) is designed to compensate for this initial minor Wearr Timely performance of the running-in maintenance will ensure optimum service life and performance from the en ine. The genera rules as follows: 1. Never labour the engine with full throttle at low engine speeds This rule is applicable not only during running«in but at all times. 2. Maximum Continuous engine speed during the first 1,000 km(600 miles) must not exceed 5,000 min" (rpm) 3, Increase the maximum continuous engine speed by 2,000 min" (rpm) between odometer readings of 1,000 km( 600 miles) and 1,600 km (1,000 miles). Drive briskly. vary speeds frequently and use full throttle for short bursts only. Do not exceed 7,000 min" (rpm), 4. Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1,600 km (1,000 miles), you can subject the motorcycle to full throttle operation. However, do not exceed 13,000 rpm at any time (tachometer red zone limit), CAUTION: - Running the engine beyond recom- mended maximum engine speed (tnchometer red zone) can damage the engine. 51 ' Review Motorcycle Safety (pages 1 fl 6 )befote you ride. NOTE: I Make sure you understand the function of the side stand mechanism (See MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE on page 58 and explanation for SIDE STAND on page 79 ) 1. 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 gearshift pedal 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. 52 4, When the motorcycle attains a moder- ate 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.Bolh front and rear brakes should be used at the same time and should not he applied strongly enough to lock the wheel, or braking effectiveness will he reduced and control of the motorcycle be difficult. LOW ALTITUDE RIDING For MX only When operating this motorcycle at low altitude, the air-fuel mixture becomes overly lean, Below 1,000 rn (3,300 feet), driveability and performance may be reduced. The carburetor can be modified to compensate for this low altitude leannessl However, the carburetor must be returned to standard factory specifications when higher altitude riding is desired, See your authorized Honda dealer for low altitude adiustmentsl CAU'IION: ' Sustained operation at altitudes above 1,500m (5,0001eet) with low altitude carburetor modifi- cations may cause flooded engine. 53 BRAKING 1, For normal braking. gradually apply both the front and rear brakes while downshifting to suit your road speed. 2. For maximum deceleration, close the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes firmly. Pull in the clutch lever before coming to a complete stop to prevent stalling the engine. AWARNWG - Independent use of only the front or rear brake reduces stopping performance Extreme braking may cause either wheel to lock, reducing control of the motorcy- cle. . 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 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, exer- cise extreme caution when braking, accelerating or turning. t 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. Riding with your foot rating 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. Alter stopping the motorcycle, shift the transmission into neutral, turn the fuel cock OF F , turn the handlebar fully to the left, turn the ignition switch OF F and remove the key. 2. Use the side stand to support the motorcycle while parked CAUTION: ' Park the motorcycle on firm, level ground to prevent it from falling over. ' It you must park on a slight in- cline, aim the front of the motorcy- cle uphill to reduce the possibility of rolling off the side stand or overturning. 3. Lock the steering to help prevent theft (page 38). ( AR type only > NOTE: ' When stopping {or a short time near traffic at night, the ignition switch may be turned to P and the key removed. This will turn on the taillight to make the motorcycle more visible to traffic. The battery will discharge if the ignition switch is left at P for too long a time. 55 ANTI-THEFT TIPS 1. Always lock the steering and never leave the key in the ignition switch, This sounds simple but People do forget. 2.Be sure the registration information for your motorcycle is accurate and current. 3.Park your motorcycle in a locked garage whenever possible 4‘ Use an additional anti-theft device of good quality. 5,Put your name, address. and phone number in this Owner's Manual and keep it on your motorcycles at all times Many times stolen motorcycles are identified by information in the Owner's Manuals that are still with them‘ NAME: ADDRESS: PHONE N0: 56 MAINTENANCE ' When service is required, remember that your authorized Honda dealer knows your motorcycle best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it. The scheduled maintenance may also be performed by a qualified service facility that normally does this kind of work; or you may perform most of the work yourself if you are mechanically qualified and have the proper tools and service data.
