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 Iew that we consider to be most important. Always Wear a Helmet It‘s a proven fact: helmets signifiwntly 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 2 ). Make Yourself Easy to See Some drivers do not see motorcycles because they are not looking [or them. To make yourself more vi ble. wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your hom when it will help others notice you. Ride Within Your Limits Pushing the limits is another major cause of motorcycle accidents. 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. 50 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 periorm all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been approved by Honda (or this motorcycle See page 4 for more details, PROTECI‘W'EAPPAREL 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 chanoe 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 ride. 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 tit your head comfortably and securely. A bright—coloured helmet can make you more noticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips An open—[ace helmet offers some protection. but a full-face 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: 0 Sturdy boots with non—slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles. 0 Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bniises, 0 A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright- coloured and reflective clothing can help make you more notioeable in traffic, Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your motorcycle. To avoid possible heat damage to your motorcycle or personal belongings, do not block or restrict air flow around the exhaust muifler with baggage or clothing. LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES Your motorcycle has been designed to cany you and one passenger. When you carry a passenger, you may feel some difference during acceleran'on 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 aifect 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 iniormation 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 infomation. [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 manual. Load Ijlnits Following are the load limits for your motorcycle: Maximum weight capacity: 180 kg (397 lb) Includes the weight of the rider, passenger, all cargo and all aocessories Maximum cargo weight: 14 kg (31 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. I.f you wish to any more cargo, check with your Honda dealer [or 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 cany a passenger or cargo: t Check that both tyres are properly inflated (page 52 ). I It you change your normal load, you may need to adjust the [ront suspension (page 34 ) and the rear suspension (page 37 ). 0To prevent loose items from creating a hazard. make sure that all cargo is securely tied down before you ride away. 0 Place cargo weight as close to the center of the motorcycle as possible. - Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides. 0To avoid possible heat damage to your motorcycle or personal belongings, do not block or restrict air flow around the exhaust muffler with baggage or clothing. 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 infonnatjon, AWARNING Improper accessories or modifications can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Follow all instructions in this owner‘s 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 for proper selection, installation and use of non—Honda accessories. Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow these guidelines: oMake 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 operating any controls. 0 Be sure electrical equipment does not exceed the motorcycles electrical system capacity (page 159 ). A blown fuse can cause a loss of lights or engine power. 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 motorcycles 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.

Other Checks: Check the c utch cable for kinks or signs of wear that could cause sticking or failure. Lubricate the clutch cable with a commercially available cable lubricant to prevent premature wear and corrosion. COOLANT Coolant Recommendation The owner must properly maintain the coolant to prevent freezing, overheating, and corrosion. Use only high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion protection inhibitors specifically recommended for use in aluminum engines. (SEE ANT lFREEZE CONTAINER LABEL]. 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. 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. 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 perfonnance and is recommended only when additional protection against freezing is needed. A concentration of less than 40/ 60 (4056 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. 45 Inspection The reserve tank is behind the lower cowl. 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 (2), remove the lower cowl (page 75 ) and the reserve tank cap (3). Add coolant mixture until it reaches the UPPER level mark (4). Always add coolant to the reserve tank. Do not attempt to add coolant by removing the radiator cap. If the reserve tank is empty. or if coolant loss is excessive, check for leaks and see your Honda dealer for repairr (1) Reserve tank (2) LOWER level mark (3) Reserve tank cap (4) UPPER level mark FUEL Fuel Tank The fuel tank capacity including the reserve supply is: 18.0 1114.76 US gal , 3.96 Imp gal) To open the fuel fill cap (1), insert the igniu'on key (2) and turn it clockwise.

The use of leaded petrol will cause premature damage to the catalytic converter. I! spark knock" or “pinking” occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, Change brands of petrol. If spark knock or pinking persists, consult your Honda dealer. Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered by Honda's Limited Warranty, Petrol Containing Alcohol It 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 containing methanol. Do not use petrol that contains more than 10 ‘56 ethanol. Do not use petrol containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors {or methanol. Never use petrol containing more than 5 96 methanol, even it it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. The use of petrol containing more than 10 96 ethanol (or more than 5 % methanol) may: 0 Damage the painting of the fuel tank, - Damage the rubber tubes of the fuel line. 0 Cause corrosion of the luel tank. a Cause poor drivability. Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out i! 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 OIL 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 in the inspection window (3). 1. Start the engine and let it idle {or 3*5 minutes. Make sure the low oil pressure indicator goes off. If the indicator light remains on, stop the engine immediately. 2. Stop the engine and hold the motorcycle in an upright position on firm, level ground. 3. After 2*?) minutes, check that the oil level is between the upper and lower level marks in the inspection window. (1) Upper level mark (2) Lower level mark (3) Inspection window 4. If required. remove the lower cowl (page 75) and oil filler cap (4), and add the specified oil (pagelOZ) up to the upper level mark. Do not oven-fill. 5. Reinstall the oil filler cap and lower cowl Check for oil leaks. Running the engine with insufficient oil pressure may cause serious engine damage.

AWARNING Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hun or killed. Follow all instructions in this owners manual regarding tyre inflation and maintenance. 52 AirPressure Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides the best combination of handling. tread life and riding comfort. Generally. underinflated tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect handling, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Overinflated tyres make your motorcycle ride harshly, are more prone to damage [rom road hazards. and wear unevenlyr 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 for punctures whenever a tyre is not fully inflated. Always check air pressure when your tyres are “cold" — when the motorcycle has been parked [or at least three hours. It you check air pressure when your tyres are “warm" — when the motorcycle has been ridden for even a few miles 7 the readings will be higher than if the tyres were “col ". This is normal, so do not let air out of the tyres to match the recommended cold air pressures given below. It you do, the tyres will be underinflaled. The recommended “cold" tyre pressures are: Front 250 kPa (2.50 kqf cm2 36 psi) Rear 290 kPa (2.90 kgf/cmZ 42 psi) Inspection Whenever you check the tyre pressures, you should also examine the tyre treads and sidewalls for wear, damage. and foreign objects: Look for: 0 Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any bumps or bulges. I Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replace the tyre it you can see fabric or cord. 0 Excessive tread wean Also, if you hit a pothole or hard object, pull to the side of the road as soon as you can sately and carefully inspect the tyres for damage 53 TreadWear Replace tyres before tread depth at the fienter of the tyre reaches the following 'mit: Minimum tread depth Front: 1.5 mm (0.06 in) Rear: 20 mm (0.08 in) < For Germany) German law prohibits use of tyres whose tread depth is less than 1.6 mm. iii s \D (1) Wear indicator (2) Wear indicator location 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 sale 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 ii a tyre is proiessionally repaired with a permanent intemal 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 thereafter. 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, bej sure the wheel is balanced before you n e 55 Tyre Replacement The tyres that came on your motorcycle were designed to match the performance capabilities of your motorcycle and provide the besti combination of handling, braking, dumbility and comfort. AWARNING Installing improper tyres on your motorcycle can affect handling and stability. This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always use the size and type of tyres recommended in this owner‘s manual. 56 The recommended tyres for your motorcycle are: Front: 120/702R17M/Ci58Wi DUNLOP Qualifier PTG BRIDGESTONE BTD‘ISF RADIAL F 180/5SZH17M/C l73Wi DUNLOP Qualifier PTG BRIDGESTONE BT015R RADIAL E Rear: Type: radial-ply,tubeless Whenever you replace a tyre, use one that is equivalent to the original and be sure the wheel is balanced alter the new tyre is installed. Important Safety Reminders 0 Do not install a tube inside a mbeless tyre on this motorcycle. Excessive heat build» up can Cause the tube to burst. 0 Use only tubeless tyres on this mowrcycle. 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. 57 ESSENTIAL INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS IGNITION SWITCH The ignition switch (1) is below the indicator panel.

This motorcycle is equipped with a side stand ignition cut-oft system. The engine cannot be started if the side stand is down. unless the transmission is in neutral. If 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 it the transmission is put in gear before raising the side stand. To protect the catalytic converter in your motorcycle‘s exhaust system, avoid extending idling and the use of leaded petrol. 80 Your motorcycle’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. High levels of 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 ON and confirm the iollowing: - The transmission is in neutral (neutral indicator is ON). . The engine stop switch s at O (RUN). - The low oil pressure in cator is ON. 0 The PGM-FI malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) Is OFF o The Fhigh coolant temperature indicator' is o The l-IESD indicator 15 OFF 0 The immobilizer system (HISS) indicator is OFF. I The Combined ABS indicator is ON. (CBRGOORR ABS) The low oil pressure indicator should go off a few seconds after the engine starts. It the low oil pressure indicator lights during operation, stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. (CBRGOORRABS) The Combined ABS indicator should go off after you ride the motorcycle at a speed above 10 1011/ h (6 mph). the engine with insufficient oil pressure can cause serious engine damage. 81 Starting Procedure This motorcycle has a fuel-injected engine with an automatic choke Follow the procedure indicated below. An ‘r Tern ram 0 With the throttle completely closed, press the sum button. The engine will not start if the throttle is fully open (because the electronic control module cuts oif the fuel supply). Even if the engine coolant stays below the specified temperature, the cooling fan sometimes starts up running when you rev up the engine, but this is normal Flooded Engine If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, it may be flooded. 1. Leave the engine stop switch set to 0 (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, vimit for 10 seconds, then follow steps 1 *4 again. Ignition Cut Off Your motorcycle is designed to automatically stop the engine and fuel pump if 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. RUNNING-IN Help assure your motorcycles 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 starts and rapid acceleration, 84 RIDING Review Motorcycle Safety (pages 1 ~ 12) before you ride. Make sure you understand the iunction of the side stand mechanism. (See MAIN- TENANCE SCHEDULE on page 98 and Explanation for SIDE STAND on page 124) 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. LAtter 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, 5th and 6th (top) gear. 85 5‘ Coordinate the throttle and brakes for smooth deceleration, 6. Both front and rear brakes should be used at 1 same time and should not be applied st ongly enough to lock the wheel, or brakin eflectiveness will be reduced and controfof the motorcycle be difficult, 86 BRAKING For normal braldng, apply both the brake pedal and lever while down shitting to match your road speed. For maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply the pedal and lever; pull in the clutch lever before coming to a complete stop to prevent stalling the engine. Important Safety Reminders: I Independent operation oi only the brake lever or brake pedal reduces stopping performance. 0 Extreme application of the brake controls may cause Wheel lock, reducing oontrol of the motorcycle, 0 When possible, reduoe speed or brake before entering a turn; closing the throttle or braking in midturn may cause wheel slip, Wheel slip will reduce control of the motorcycle 0 When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces, the ability to maneuver and stop will be reduced. All oi 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. .When descending a long, steep grade, use engine compression braking by down— shitting, with intermittent use of both brakes. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their eifecfiveness. 0Riding with your foot resting on the brake pedal or your hand on the brake lever may actuate the brakelight, giving a ialse indication to other drivers. It may also overheat the brakes, reducing eflectiveness. 87 Combined ABS (CBRGOORR ABS) This model is equipped with Combined ABS (Combined Anti-lock Brake System) When the ignition switch is turned ON, the system performs a self-analysis and when the vehicle speed reaches 10 km/ h (6 mph) the system starts to operate and remains on while riding. Combined ABS is self- checking. Combined ABS is an electrically integrated system consisting of the Combined Brake System and Anti-lock Brake System Combined ABS controls braking force by accurately monitoring the amount of force applied to the brakes and wheel speed. It balances the front«to-rear braking distribution. and has an anti-lock function designed to help prevent wheel lock up during hard braking. Moreover, Combined ABS helps provide more riding stability when braking hard and suddenly. Although [81:35 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, In general, you'll achieve the best results by braking while running in a straight line. Even if the front brake lever and the rear brake pedal are operated independently. die brake force is distributed appropriately to the front and the rear. However, for full braking effectiveness, use both the lever and pedal simultaneously. as you would with a conventional motorcycle braking system. in some situations, a motorcycle with Combined ABS may require a longer stopping distance to stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an equivalent motorcycle without Combined ABS. Combined ABS cannot make up for road conditions. bad judgment, or improper operation of the brakes, and cannot stop rear 'vheel lift completely. It is still your responsibility to ride at reasonable speeds for weather, road surface, and traffic conditions, and to leave a margin of safety. IThe anti-lock brake function of the Combined ABS may be activated by riding over a sharp drop or rise in the road level while operating the brake. tit is important to follow the tyre recommendations (page 56 ). The Combined ABS computer works by comparing wheel speed. Non- recommended tyres can affect wheel speed and may confuse the Combined ABS computer. a Combined ABS does not function at low speeds (approximately 6 km/h (4 mph) or below). 0 Combined ABS does not function if the battery is discharged, 0 Combined ABS does not function if the ABS main or the ABS motor fuses are blown. 0 When Combined ABS does not function, the brakes work like a conventional braking system. On conventional braking systems, operating the front brake lever applies the front brake and operating the rear brake pedal applies the rear brake. You may feel a change in the way the brake iever/ pedal reacts when it is operated under the following conditions: 0 Immediately alter turning the ignition switch ON 0 After braking to a stop Combined ABS indicator (CBRGOORR ABS) Normally. this indicator comes on when the ignition is turned 0N, and goes off after you ride the motorcycle at a speed above 10 km/h (6 mph). If there is a problem with Combined ABS, the indicator lights or flashes and remains on. Combined ABS does not operate when the Combined ABS indicator is on. If the Combined ABS indicator lights or flashes and remains 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 olf after you ride the motorcycle at a speeds above 10 km/h (6 mph). if it does not go off. Combined ABS is not functioning. but the brakes still provide normal stopping ability like a conventional braking system. However. you should have the system checked by your Honda dealer as soon as possible. 90 The Combined ABS indicator may flash it: u‘l‘he front wheel leaves the ground for 1 second or more. c Either brake is applied continuously irom Okm/h (0 mph) to 50 km/h (31 mph). 0 You turn the rear wheel while the motorcycle is uplight on the stand. This is normal but the Combined ABS is not in operation, To activate the system again, turn the ignition 0F F. then 0N again. 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 stand to support the motorcycle While parked. Park the motorcycle on firm, level ground to prevent it from falling over. It 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 69 ). 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. 91 ANT I-THEFI‘ 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 inlormation 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.
