Introduction When you own a Honda, you’re part of a worldwide family of satisfied customers — people who appreciate Honda’s reputation for building quality into every product. Your Honda was designed as a recreational ATV for off-road use by one rider only. Your ATV is not a toy, and it must be handled with caution. We recommend you to receive the ATV Pre-Delivery Checklist from your dealer. This ATV is ATV Type I category Y12+. Before riding, take time to get acquainted with your ATV and how it works. To protect your investment, we urge you to take responsibility for keeping your ATV well maintained. Scheduled service is a must, of course. But it’s just as important to observe the break-in guidelines, and perform all pre-ride and other periodic checks detailed in this manual. We also recommend that you read and understand this owner's manual before you ride. It’s full of facts, instructions, safety information, and helpful tips. To make it easy to use, the manual contains a detailed list of topics at the beginning of each section and an index at the back of the book.

This ATV has been designed for younger riders. However, not all youngsters are physically or emotionally ready to ride. Therefore, before parents allow any youngster to ride this ATV, we urge them to carefully read the Important Message to Parents beginning on page 5. 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. Follow the Age Recommendation The minimum recommended age for this ATV model is 12. For safety, children under age 12 should never operate this vehicle. Always Wear a Helmet It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear (page 38). Never Carry a Passenger Your ATV is designed for one person only. There are no handholds, footrests, or seat for a second person, so never carry a passenger. A passenger could interfere with your ability to move around to maintain your balance and control of the ATV. 2 ATV Safety 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 3 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Important Safety Information Ride Off-road Only Your ATV is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The tyres are not made for pavement, and the ATV does not have turn signals and other features required for use on public roads. If you need to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your ATV across. Take Time to Learn & Practice Even if you have ridden other ATVs, take time to become familiar with how this ATV works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills and get accustomed to the ATV’s size and weight. Be Alert for Off-road Hazards The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you ride offroad. Continually “read” the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough to allow time to see and react to hazards. ATV Safety 3 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 4 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Important Safety Information Ride within Your Limits Pushing limits is another major cause of ATV 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. 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 Honda in Safe Condition It’s important to keep your ATV properly maintained and in safe riding condition. Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if you are stranded off-road far from your base. To help avoid problems, inspect your ATV before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. 4 ATV Safety 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 5 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Important Message to Parents Your child’s safety is very important to Honda. That’s why we urge you to read this message before you let any young person ride this ATV. Off-road riding can be fun. But, as with riding a bicycle, bad judgment can result in injury, and we don’t want that to happen! As a parent, you can help prevent accidents by making good decisions about if, when, and how your youngster rides this ATV. Riding Readiness The first decision you’ll need to make is whether your youngster is ready to ride. Riding readiness varies widely from one person to another, and while the minimum age recommended for this ATV is 12 years old, there are other factors that you should consider. PHYSICAL ABILITY are important considerations. To help determine whether a youngster is big enough for this ATV, have them stand up on the footpegs and grasp the handgrips. While the youngster holds this position, check that they have at least three inches of clearance between the ATV seat and the youngster’s “seat of the pants.” A rider needs at least three inches of clearance so they can stand up for balance and comfort, and to shift their body forward, backward and from side to side. ATV Safety 5 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 6 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Important Message to Parents Also make sure your youngster can comfortably reach and work all the controls. For example, can they turn the handlebars all the way to the right and left? Can they easily use their feet to work the brake pedal and gearshift lever? Can they operate the throttle and brake levers while they hold onto the handgrips? If not, the youngster is not physically ready to ride this ATV. Before you let a youngster ride an ATV, decide whether they are physically, mentally and emotionally ready to ride. ATHLETIC ABILITY is another requirement for riding an ATV. Generally speaking, your youngster should be good at riding a bicycle before they get on an ATV. Can your youngster judge speeds and distances while riding a bicycle and react with proper hand and foot actions? Anyone who does not have good coordination, balance, and agility is not ready for this ATV. 6 ATV Safety 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 7 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Important Message to Parents MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL MATURITY maturity are also necessary for safe riding. Does your youngster think through problems and come to logical solutions? On a bicycle, does your youngster obey safe riding rules? Be honest! Young people who take unnecessary risks, make bad judgments and don’t obey rules are not ready to ride this ATV. Also, it is necessary to evaluate your youngster according to the evaluation sheet. See Introduction in this Owner's Manual. Instruction and Supervision If you decide that your youngster is ready to safely operate this ATV, make sure both of you carefully read and understand the Owner's Manual before riding. Also be sure that your youngster always wears a helmet and other appropriate riding equipment when operating or sitting on it (page 38). Because good instruction is an important part of learning how to ride, we strongly recommend that young riders take the free handson training course Honda offers to all new ATV owners and immediate family members. We also recommend that you take or observe the course with your youngster. This will enable you to better understand proper riding techniques and safety messages. Even if a youngster takes a certified training course, it’s up to you to ensure your youngster’s safety. Remember, learning to ride an ATV is a gradual step-by-step process. It takes time, patience and practice. ATV Safety 7 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 8 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Important Message to Parents To help you regulate your youngster’s rate of learning, your ATV was delivered with an adjustable throttle limiter and an air restrictor. We recommend that all beginning riders start off with the throttle limiter adjusted as delivered. The limiter may be adjusted to gradually increase maximum speed as the beginner becomes more familiar with operating the ATV. For adjustment and removal instructions, see page 54 – 56. SUPERVISION is another important obligation of parents. Even after youngsters have become skilled off-road riders, make sure they always have adult supervision while riding, especially when riding in areas of rough terrain. It also helps to regularly remind young riders to follow the instructions and warnings in this manual. And remember, it’s the parents’ responsibility to see that the ATV is properly maintained and kept in safe operating condition. If you choose to lend your ATV, do make sure that any riders under 16 years old will have adult supervision. Your youngster should understand that the decision to lend the ATV is yours. SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE RIDING must be an on-going commitment – by you and your youngster. When you both put safety first, you can enjoy more peace of mind, and your youngster can enjoy many hours of safe off-road riding. In Summary Children differ in skills, physical abilities, and judgement. Some children may not be able to operate an ATV safely. Parents should supervise their child’s use of the ATV at all times. Parents should permit continued use only if they determine that the child has the ability to operate the ATV safely. 8 ATV Safety 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 9 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Labels (ED type) The following pages describe the label locations and their meanings. Some labels warn you of potential hazards that could cause serious injury. Others provide important safety information. Read this information carefully and don't remove the labels, because it is important for the labels to be stored on the ATV. Parents of young riders should make sure their youngsters read and understand the label information before allowing them to ride. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your dealer for a replacement. There is a specific symbol on each label. The meanings of each symbol and label are as follows. Read instructions contained in Owner’s Manual carefully. Read instructions contained in Shop Manual carefully. In the interest of safety, take the ATV to be serviced only by your dealer. DANGER (with RED background) You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions. WARNING (with ORANGE background) You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions. CAUTION (with YELLOW background) You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions. ATV Safety 9 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 10 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Labels (ED type) BATTERY LABEL DANGER • Keep flames and sparks away from the battery. The battery produces explosive gas that can cause an explosion. • Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when handling the battery, or you can get burned or lose your eyesight by the battery electrolyte. • Do not allow children and other people to touch a battery unless they understand proper handling and hazards of the battery very well. • Handle battery electrolyte with extreme care, as it contains dilute sulfuric acid. Contact with your skin or eyes can burn you or cause loss of your eyesight. • Read this manual carefully, and understand it before handling the battery. Neglect of the instructions can cause personal injury and damage to the ATV. • Do not use a battery with the electrolyte at or below the lower level mark. It can explode causing serious injury. 10 ATV Safety 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 11 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Labels (ED type) GENERAL WARNING LABEL WARNING The improper operation of ATVs may result in severe injury or death. • Read the Owner’s Manual. • Follow all warnings and instructions. • Never use without proper training and instruction. While riding: • Never ride too fast for your skills or the conditions. • Always use proper riding techniques for hills, slopes, and rough terrain. • Use care when changing riding surfaces. ATVs handle differently on different surfaces, such as sand, dirt, or pavement. • Never carry a passenger, since it would affect balance and steering and may cause you to lose control. • Avoid operating on public roads, since a collision can occur with another vehicle. • Never ride after drinking alcohol or using drugs. • Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective gear.

Before you ride your ATV for the first time, we urge you to: • Read this owner’s manual and the labels on your ATV carefully. • Make sure you understand all the safety messages. • Know how to operate all the controls. Before each ride, be sure: • You feel well and are in good physical and mental condition. • You are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet (with chin strap tightened securely), eye protection, and other protective clothing. • You don’t have any alcohol or drugs in your system. Protective Apparel 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 the proper gear. 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. 38 Before Riding 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 39 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Are You Ready to Ride? An open-face 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. WARNING 3 WARNING Operating this ATV without wearing an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing could increase your chances of severe injury or death in the event of an accident.

Basic Operation & Riding 69 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 70 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Shifting Gears UP SHIFTING SEQUENCE DOWN SHIFTING SEQUENCE Your ATV has five forward gears: 1, 2, 3, and 4. The shift lever is located near the left footpeg. One full stroke of the shift lever shifts the transmission to the next higher or lower gear in the shifting sequence. The shift lever automatically returns to the horizontal position when released. To upshift to a higher gear, put the toe of your boot under the shift lever and raise it one full stroke. To downshift, step on the shift lever and depress it one full stroke. 70 Basic Operation & Riding 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 71 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Shifting Gears With the engine stop switch in the RUN position and the transmission in neutral, the engine can be started. 1. With the transmission in neutral, release the parking brake, but continue squeezing the rear brake lever. 2. With the throttle closed, raise the shift lever one full stroke to shift into 1st (first) gear. 3. Release the rear brake lever and increase engine speed by gradually opening the throttle. 4. When speed increases, release the throttle and shift to 2nd gear by raising the shift lever one full stroke. 5. Repeat this sequence to progressively upshift to 3rd and 4th (top) gear. 6. To downshift, reverse this sequence. Remember to close the throttle each time you shift to the next lower gear. Basic Operation & Riding 71 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 72 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Shifting Gears Learning when to shift gears comes with experience. Keep the following tips in mind: • As a general rule, shift while moving in a straight line. • Close the throttle completely before shifting. Improper shifting may damage the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. • 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. • Downshift to a lower gear before you feel the engine laboring (lugging) at low rpm. • Avoid downshifting to help slow your ATV when engine rpm is high. Downshifting when engine speed is near its allowable maximum may over-rev the engine and possibly cause damage. • To prevent transmission damage, do not coast or tow the ATV 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. 72 Basic Operation & Riding 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 73 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Braking Your ATV is equipped with drum brakes on both front wheels which are mechanically activated by operating the right brake lever. A single drum brake on the rear axle housing is mechanically activated by depressing the brake pedal or operating the left brake lever. As a general rule, the front braking system provides about 70 percent of total stopping power. For full braking effectiveness, use both the pedal and lever simultaneously. Using both braking systems will stop your ATV faster with greater stability. CLOSE Basic Operation & Riding 73 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 74 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Braking To slow or stop, apply the brake levers and brake pedal smoothly, while downshifting to match your speed. Gradually increase braking as you feel the brakes slowing your speed. The increase in engine compression from downshifting will help slow your ATV. DEPRESS 74 Basic Operation & Riding PULL PULL 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 75 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Braking Applying the brakes too hard may cause the wheels to lock and slide, reducing control of your ATV. If this happens, release the brake controls, steer straight ahead until you regain control, then reapply the brakes more gently. 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 more wheels to slip and reduce your control of your ATV. Your ability to brake in a turn and to brake hard in an emergency situation are important riding skills. 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 resting on the brake pedal or your hands on the brake levers may overheat the brakes, reducing effectiveness. For information on how to apply the brakes in various riding situations, see the following section, Riding Your ATV.

WARNING 3 WARNING Turning improperly can make the ATV go out of control, causing a collision or overturn. • Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this owner’s manual. • Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. • Do not turn at excessive speeds. 76 Basic Operation & Riding 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 77 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Riding Your ATV Lean your body to the inside of a turn and forward. To make a turn on level ground: Steer the handlebar and lean your body toward the inside of the turn. Leaning helps balance the vehicle, and it feels more comfortable. Leaning into a turn is an important technique to master in riding an ATV. To make a sharp turn at low speed: It helps to shift your body slightly forward on the seat, and lean inside, as you steer the handlebar. Shifting weight forward allows the rear wheels to turn easier, and it also improves front-wheel steering. To make a turn from a full stop: Apply the throttle gradually when you turn and start up at the same time. Remember to shift your body forward to make sharp low-speed turns and whenever you turn while accelerating from a full stop. Basic Operation & Riding 77 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 78 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Riding Your ATV Skidding or Sliding The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding during a turn is more likely to occur on slippery surfaces, such as snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may lose all directional control. To avoid skidding on slippery terrain, keep your speed low and ride with caution. WARNING 3 WARNING Skidding or sliding improperly may cause you to lose control of this ATV. You may also regain traction unexpectedly, which may cause the ATV to overturn. Learn to safely control skidding by practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. If your ATV skids sideways during a turn, steer in the direction of the skid. Avoid hard braking or accelerating until you have regained directional control. 78 Basic Operation & Riding 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 79 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Riding Your ATV Riding Up Hills The ATV’s ability to safely climb hills largely depends on the rider’s skill and judgment. Begin by practicing on smooth, gentle slopes. As you gain experience, you’ll learn the hazards and your own limitations. You may then proceed to ride on more difficult terrain. However, you must be able to decide which hills or hazards might cause the ATV to overturn. Avoid excessively steep hills. WARNING 3 WARNING Operating on excessively steep hills can cause the vehicle to overturn more easily than operating on level surfaces or small hills. Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for the ATV or for your abilities. When climbing hills, you must shift weight toward the front wheels to help keep them on the ground. To do this, shift your body slightly forward on the seat and lean forward. For greater weight shift, move your body farther forward and lean forward. WARNING 3 WARNING Climbing hills improperly could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to overturn. Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this owner’s manual. Basic Operation & Riding 79 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 80 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Riding Your ATV Shift weight forward when climbing hills. • Always check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. • Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. • To climb a hill, take a running start in an appropriate gear and speed for the conditions. Maintain a steady speed as you ascend the hill. • Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. The ATV could flip over backward. • Never go over the top of any hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill. 80 Basic Operation & Riding 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 81 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Riding Your ATV Stalling the ATV and/or Rolling Backwards: If you incorrectly estimate climbing capability or terrain conditions, the ATV may not have enough power or traction to continue uphill. If this happens, the ATV can stall and/or roll backwards. WARNING 3 WARNING Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill could result in the ATV overturning. Always follow proper procedures for climbing a hill as described in this owner’s manual. What to do if the ATV stalls or rolls backwards when climbing a hill: If you are about to lose all forward speed: 1. Using the front and rear brakes together, bring the ATV to a stop with the vehicle pointed straight uphill. 2. Get off the ATV while you continue holding the brakes. 3. Shift into neutral, set the parking brake and turn the engine off. 4. Then assess the situation. If the ATV starts rolling backwards before you begin braking: 1. Keep your weight uphill. 2. Carefully apply the front brakes first, then carefully apply the rear brake. Do not apply either brake abruptly if you are rolling backwards, or the vehicle may overturn. If the ATV continues sliding backwards: After you’ve applied the brakes, get off and away from the vehicle. Basic Operation & Riding 81 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 82 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Riding Your ATV What to do after the ATV has stalled or rolled backwards: If the hill is too steep or too slippery, or if you have any doubt whether you can safely walk the ATV back down the hill, leave the vehicle where it is and get help. If possible, block the wheels so the vehicle doesn’t roll backwards. If the hill is not too steep and you have good footing, you may be able to walk the ATV back down the hill. Make sure your intended path is clear in case you lose control of the ATV. Be sure your legs are clear of the wheels. Body position for backing down a hill. 1. Stand with your body facing downhill, beside the vehicle so you can reach the rear brake lever with your right hand. 2. Be sure your legs are clear of the wheels. Check your footing. 3. Slowly and carefully back the ATV down the hill using the rear brake lever to control speed. 4. If you lose control of the ATV, for your safety, get away from the vehicle. 82 Basic Operation & Riding 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 83 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Riding Your ATV Riding Down Hills It’s usually advisable to descend hills with the ATV pointed straight downhill. Avoid angles that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. WARNING 3 WARNING Going down a hill improperly could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to overturn. Always follow proper procedures for going down hills as described in this owner’s manual. On downhills, shift your weight back. As you approach a downhill, stop and survey the terrain below. Never ride past the limit of your visibility. Never go down a hill at high speed. Basic Operation & Riding 83 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 84 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Riding Your ATV When you’ve selected a safe downhill path, shift into a lower gear, shift your weight back with your arms extended and braced against the handlebar, then go down slowly with the throttle closed. Use mainly the rear brake to control speed. Avoid using either the front brake or rear brake hard or abruptly when riding down hills. Remember, braking effectiveness is reduced on any hill with a loose surface. Crossing or Turning on Hills or Slopes Riding on hills or slopes is different from riding on level terrain. Be careful when riding on any hill. Make sure that you practice on gentle, smooth slopes before attempting to ride on steeper or more difficult terrain. WARNING 3 WARNING Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to overturn. Always follow proper procedures for crossing or turning on slopes as described in this owner’s manual. Avoid crossing steep hills if possible. 84 Basic Operation & Riding 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 85 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Riding Your ATV Crossing Hills or Slopes • To maintain balance and stability when riding across a slope, you need to shift weight toward the uphill side of the vehicle. To do this, move your body off the centre of the seat and lean toward the uphill side. • On a slippery or loose surface, you may also need to steer slightly uphill to maintain a straight course across the slope. • Avoid crossing hills that are excessively steep, slippery or rough. Shift weight uphill when crossing slopes. Making Turns on Slopes • Compared to riding on level ground, you may need to shift more weight and lean more when making turns on slopes. • Do not make turns on any slopes until you have first mastered the techniques for making turns on level terrain.

Fuel Recommendation type research octane number unleaded 91 (or higher) Use only unleaded fuel in your Honda. 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 petrol that has a pump octane number (R + M)/2 of 86 or higher, or a research octane number of 91 or higher. Petrol pumps at service stations normally display the pump octane number. For information on the use of Petrol Containing Alcohol, see page 196. Use of lower octane petrol 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 petrol. If pinging or spark knock persists, consult your dealer. Never use stale or contaminated petrol or an oil/petrol mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank. 106 Servicing Your Honda 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 107 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Fuel Fuel Capacity Fuel tank capacity, including reserve: 6.3 ℓ (1.66 US gal , 1.39 Imp gal) Reserve capacity: 1.0 ℓ (0.26 US gal , 0.22 Imp gal) The tank should be refilled as soon as possible after switching to reserve, and the fuel valve should be returned to the ON position after refuelling to avoid running out of fuel with no reserve.

Safety under any riding conditions is dependant upon this small point of contact. Please understand that the tyres will have less grip, as the tread wear decreases. To safely operate your ATV, your wheels and tyres must be the proper type and size. Also, your tyres must be in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated. It is important to properly replace parts according to the replacement schedule. We recommend that you leave this work to the experts with the proper equipment and experience. Wheels that are deformed or damaged must be replaced. Please consult your dealer for replacement. Tyres age, even if they have not been used or have only been used occasionally. Cracking of the tread and sidewall rubber, sometimes accompanied by carcass deformation, is an evidence of ageing. Old and aged tyres must be checked by experts to determine the suitability for further use. WARNING 3 WARNING Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tyre inflation and maintenance. (cont’d) Servicing Your Honda 137 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 138 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Wheels & Tyres This ATV is equipped with low pressure tubeless tyres. Although the tyres are designed specifically for off-road use, they are not immune to punctures. Always select your riding area with care. The following pages give detailed information on how and when to check your air pressure, how to inspect your tyres for wear and damage, and our recommendations for tyre repair and replacement. Air Pressure Refer to Safety Precautions on page 94. Properly inflated tyres are most important for safety, and will provide the best combination of handing, 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 ATV ride harshly, are more prone to damage from surface hazards, and wear unevenly. Make sure the valve stem caps are secure. If necessary, install new caps. Always check air pressure when your tyres are “cold.” If you check air pressure when your tyres are “warm” – even if your ATV has only been ridden for a few miles – the readings will be higher. If you let air out of warm tyres to match the recommended cold tyre pressures, the tyres will be underinflated. Be sure to check tyre pressure at the riding site, since changes in altitude can affect air pressure. The recommended “cold” tyre pressures are: FRONT RECOMMENDED 20.0 kPa (2.9 psi) PRESSURE 138 Servicing Your Honda REAR 20.0 kPa (2.9 psi) 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 139 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Wheels & Tyres A manually operated tyre pump should be used rather than the high pressure system found in service stations. This will minimize the possibility of tyre damage from overinflation. If you use a high pressure system at a service station, add air in small amounts and check the pressure increase frequently to prevent possible tyre damage from overinflation. WARNING 3 WARNING Operating this ATV with improper tyres, or with uneven tyre pressure may cause loss of control, and you could be seriously injured or killed. • Always use the size and type tyres specified in this owner’s manual for this vehicle. • Always maintain proper tyre pressure as described in this owner’s manual. Inspection Refer to Safety Precautions on page 94. Whenever you check the tyre pressures, you should also look for: • Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replace any tyre that has a bump or bulge. • Cuts, slits, or cracks in the tyres. Replace the tyre if you can see fabric or cord. • Nails or other foreign objects embedded in the side of the tyre or tread. • Excessive tread wear. Servicing Your Honda 139 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 140 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Wheels & Tyres Also, if you hit a pothole or other hard object while riding, stop as soon as you safely can and carefully inspect the tyres for damage.

A tyre that is repaired, either temporarily or permanently, will have lower speed and performance limits than a new or undamaged tyre. 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, and have the tyre replaced or permanently repaired as soon as possible. (For more information on temporary repairs, see If You Have a Flat Tyre, page 177). A permanent repair, such as an internal plug patch, can be made if a tyre has only a small puncture in the tread area. However you may not be able to safely carry as much weight. If you choose to have a tyre repaired, be sure the repair work is performed by a professional. If you have a tyre professionally repaired at a non-Honda facility, we recommend that you have the work checked by your dealer. Servicing Your Honda 141 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 142 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Wheels & Tyres Tyre Replacement Refer to Safety Precautions on page 94. The tyres that came on your ATV were designed to match the performance capabilities of your ATV and provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. It is best to replace all four tyres, however if that is not possible, you must replace the tyres in pairs (front or rear) with tyres of the same size and type as the originals. Never replace just one tyre. WARNING 3 WARNING Installing improper tyres on your ATV 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. Used tyres should not be installed if the previous usage record is unknown. The recommended tyres for your ATV are: front AT20 × 7–81 CHENG SHIN MAXXIS M953 rear AT19 × 8–81 CHENG SHIN MAXXIS M954 When you replace a tyre, remember: Have the tyre replaced by your dealer if possible.

Always ride with at least one other person in case you have trouble, and let someone know where you’re going and when you expect to return. Before riding in an unfamiliar area, find out in advance if you need special permits, get maps so you can study the terrain, and talk to other riders who know the area. What to Take to the Riding Area Along with your ATV and riding gear, you should take along some tools and supplies in case you have a problem. For some of the difficulties you might encounter, see Taking Care of the Unexpected, which begins on page 171. We recommend that you always take water, food, a first aid kit, and your owner’s manual. Other items you should consider loading on your truck or trailer include: • a tool kit • tyre repair supplies and tools, and tyres • extra parts, control levers, cables, and spark plugs • wire, duct tape, and rope • extra petrol For safety, all refuelling should be done at a gas station on the way to the riding area or at your base camp. 162 Tips 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 163 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Preparing for a Ride What to Take on the Trail What you take with you during a ride depends on the kind of terrain, how long you expect to ride, how far you might go from your base camp or help, and how experienced you or your companions are in making repairs.

Tips 169 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 170 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 You & the Environment Owning and riding an ATV can be enjoyable, but you must do your part to protect nature. When you show respect for the land, wildlife, and other people, you also help preserve the sport of off-road riding. Following are tips on how you can be an environmentally responsible ATV owner. • Tread Lightly. Stay on existing roads and trails, avoid surfaces that are easily damaged, and ride only in areas approved for offroad vehicles. • Keep the Noise Down. Loud vehicles can be offensive. Ride as quietly as possible, don’t remove your spark arrester, and don’t modify the muffler or any other part of your air intake and exhaust systems. Such modifications not only increase noise, they also reduce engine performance and may be illegal. • Choose Sensible Cleaners. Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash your ATV. 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. • Recycle Wastes. It’s illegal and thoughtless to put used engine oil in the trash, down a drain, or on the ground. Used oil, petrol, 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 centre. Call your local or state office of public works or environmental services to find a recycling centre in your area, and to get instructions on how to dispose of non-recyclable wastes. 170 Tips 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 171 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Taking Care of the Unexpected With all the challenges you can encounter off-road, there’s a chance that sometime something may go wrong. This section gives practical advice to help you deal with a wide range of problems. Take time to read this section before you ride. Also review the tips in Preparing for a Ride (page 162).

However, problems can arise even with well-maintained machines. Remember to take along your owner’s manual, the tool kit that came with your ATV, and any other items (such as tyre repair supplies and additional tools) that might help you solve a problem on your own. If something goes wrong during a ride, the first thing to do is stop as soon as you safely can. Do not continue riding if you have a flat tyre, or you hear an unusual noise, or your ATV just doesn’t feel right. If you continue riding, you could cause more damage and endanger your own safety. After stopping, take time to assess the situation. Carefully inspect your ATV to identify the problem, then consider your options before you decide what to do. If a problem is relatively minor and you have the tools, supplies, and skills to make a permanent repair, you may be able to fix it on the trail and continue riding. Or, you may be able to make a temporary repair that allows you to slowly ride back to your base where you can make a permanent repair or get help. When a problem is more serious — or you don’t have the tools, supplies, experience, or time to deal with it — you need to choose the safest way to get yourself and your ATV back to base. For example, if you are close enough, you (or you and another person) might be able to push it back. 172 Taking Care of the Unexpected 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 173 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Taking Care of the Unexpected Should you ever have a problem while riding, please follow these guidelines: • Always put personal safety first. • Take time to assess the situation and your options before deciding what to do. • If the problem is relatively minor and you have the tools, supplies, and skills to make a temporary repair, be sure to have permanent repairs made as soon as possible. • Do not continue riding if you are hurt or your ATV is not in safe riding condition. Additional recommendations for specific problems follow.

If you have a slow leak or a minor puncture, use the plug method to make a temporary repair. (The plug method is applied from the outside of the tyre and is the same as that for conventional tubeless tyres.) A plug-type repair kit, available at most auto parts stores or service stations, provides a plug, an installation tool, tyre cement, and an instruction sheet. Follow the instructions provided with the repair kit to make a temporary repair. As soon as possible, have the tyre permanently repaired by your dealer. Any tyre that cannot be repaired should be replaced. Whenever the ATV is to be operated far from service facilities or available transportation, we recommend that you carry a tyre pump and a repair kit. If the leak is more serious, or a temporary repair doesn’t hold, the tyre must be replaced. The tyre will also need to be replaced if it is damaged (page 142). Replacing a tyre involves removing and reinstalling the wheel (page 178). If you are unable to repair a flat tyre on the trail, you will need to send for help. We strongly recommend that you do not try to ride with a flat tyre. The ATV will be hard to handle, and if the tyre comes off the rim, it may lock up the wheel and cause you to 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. If you cannot ride safely, send someone for help. Do not ride if you will risk further injury. If you decide you are capable of riding safely, carefully inspect your ATV for damage and determine if it is safe to ride. Check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts securing such parts as the handlebar, control levers, brakes, and wheels. If there is minor damage, or you are unsure about possible damage but decide to try riding the ATV back to your base, ride slowly and cautiously. Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not immediately apparent. When you get home, thoroughly check your ATV and correct any problems you find. Also, be sure to have your dealer check the frame and suspension after any serious crash. Taking Care of the Unexpected 183 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 184 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 If You Lose Your Key Be sure to record your key number (1) at following space. You’ll need this number to have a duplicate key made. 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 ATV. They may have it listed in their records. If they don’t, transport your ATV 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.

The greater amperage of an automobile battery when the car engine is running can damage your ATV’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. Taking Care of the Unexpected 185 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 186 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 If a Component Fails The brake levers or pedal, control cables, and other components can be damaged as you ride in dense brush or over rocky terrain. Making a trailside repair depends on how serious the damage is and what tools and supplies you have with you. • If any component of the brake system is damaged, you may be able to ride carefully back to your base using the other brake components for slowing or stopping. • If you damage a throttle cable or other critical component, your ATV may be unsafe to ride. Carefully assess the damage and make any repairs that you can. But if there is any doubt, it’s best to be conservative and safe. 186 Taking Care of the Unexpected 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 187 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Technical Information This section contains dimensions, capacities, and other technical data, plus information on government requirements and how to break-in your ATV.

During this period, avoid full-throttle starts, and rapid acceleration. 194 Technical Information 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 195 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 High Altitude Carburetor Adjustment Your engine’s air-fuel mixture becomes overly rich when operated at high altitudes. Above 1,000 m (3,000 feet), a rich mixture can cause driveability problems, reduce engine performance, and increase fuel consumption. To compensate, you can have the carburetor adjusted for high altitude riding. See your dealer. A high altitude jet is available to compensate for high altitude richness. For those who are mechanically proficient and have the necessary tools, installation and adjustment procedures are given in the official Honda Shop Manual available from your dealer. All others should have this carburetor modification performed by your dealer. However, the carburetor must be returned to standard factory specifications before riding again at lower altitudes (below 1,500 m, 5,000 feet). Sustained riding at lower altitudes with the lean high-altitude setting may cause rough idling, stalling, or engine damage from overheating. Altitude range 0 – 1,500 m Main jet No. 82 Pilot screw Throttle stop screw Factory preset Factory preset (0 – 5,000 feet) 1,000 – 2,500 m Screw in 3/8 turn Screw in 1/16 turn (3,000 – 8,000 feet) No. 80 counter clockwise clockwise from or higher from factory preset factory preset Technical Information 195 14 TRX90X-32HP26700.book 196 ページ ２０１３年８月５日 月曜日 午後２時２０分 Petrol Containing Alcohol If you decide to use a petrol containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure its octane rating is at least as high as that recommended above. There are two types of gasohol: One contains ethanol, and the other contains methanol. Do not use gasohol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use gasohol that contains methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) unless it also contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use petrol containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors. Engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain alcohol are not covered under the warranty. Honda cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of their suitability is not yet complete. 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. 196
