So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and protective apparel. 2 P. 11 Before Riding Take Time to Learn & Practice Even if you have ridden other motorcycles, practice riding in a safe area to become familiar with how this motorcycle works and handles, and to become accustomed to the motorcycle’s size and weight. Ride Defensively Always pay attention to other vehicles around you, and do not assume that other drivers see you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an evasive maneuver. Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check continued 3 Motorcycle Safety Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety: ● Perform all routine and regular inspections specified in this manual. ● Stop the engine and keep sparks and flame away before filling the fuel tank. ● Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in exhaust gases is toxic and can kill you. that you and your passenger are both wearing an approved motorcycle helmet and protective apparel. Instruct your passenger on holding onto the grab rails, leaning with you in turns, and keeping their feet on the footpegs, even when the motorcycle is stopped. 15 VFR800X-32MJM8000.book 4 ページ ２０１４年１２月１９日 金曜日 午後１時４０分 Safety Guidelines Make Yourself Easy to See Motorcycle Safety Make yourself more visible, especially at night, by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioning yourself so other drivers can see you, signaling before turning or changing lanes, and using your horn when necessary. Ride within Your Limits Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and inattention can impair your ability to use good judgement and ride safely. Don’t Drink and Ride Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one alcoholic drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. Don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride either. 4 Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition It’s important to keep your motorcycle properly maintained and in safe riding condition. Inspect your motorcycle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits (2 P. 17), and do not modify your motorcycle or install accessories that would make your motorcycle unsafe (2 P. 16). If You are Involved in a Crash Personal safety is your first priority. 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. Call for emergency assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws and regulations if another person or vehicle is involved in the crash. If you decide to continue riding, first evaluate the condition of your motorcycle. If the engine is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid leaks, 15 VFR800X-32MJM8000.book 5 ページ ２０１４年１２月１９日 金曜日 午後１時４０分 Safety Guidelines 3 WARNING Motorcycle Safety check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts, and check the handlebar, control levers, brakes, and wheels.

Use engine braking with intermittent use of the brakes to reduce speed. ● For full braking effectiveness, operate both the front and rear brakes together. 15 VFR800X-32MJM8000.book 13 ページ ２０１４年１２月１９日 金曜日 午後１時４０分 Riding Precautions ❙ Engine Braking This model is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) designed to help prevent the brakes from locking up during hard braking. ● ABS does not reduce braking distance. In certain circumstances, ABS may result in a longer stopping distance. ● ABS does not function at speeds below 10 km/h (6 mph). ● The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly when applying the brakes. This is normal. ● Always use the recommended tyres to ensure correct ABS operation. Engine braking helps slow your motorcycle down when you release the throttle. For further slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use engine braking with intermittent use of the brakes to reduce speed when descending long, steep slopes. Motorcycle Safety ❙ Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) ❙ Wet or Rainy Conditions Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet brakes further reduce braking efficiency. Exercise extra caution when braking in wet conditions. If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while riding at low speed to help them dry. continued 13 15 VFR800X-32MJM8000.book 14 ページ ２０１４年１２月１９日 金曜日 午後１時４０分 Riding Precautions Parking Motorcycle Safety ● Park on a firm, level paved surface. ● If you must park on a slight incline or loose surface, park so that the motorcycle cannot move or fall over. ● Make sure that high-temperature parts cannot come into contact with flammable materials. ● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes and other high-temperature parts until they cool down. ● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock the handlebar and remove the key when leaving the motorcycle unattended. Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended. ❙ Parking with the Side Stand 1. Stop the engine. 2. Push the side stand down. 3. Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its weight rests on the side stand. 14 4. Turn the handlebar fully to the left. u Turning the handlebar to the right reduces stability and may cause the motorcycle to fall. 5. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the key. 2 P. 40 15 VFR800X-32MJM8000.book 15 ページ ２０１４年１２月１９日 金曜日 午後１時４０分 Riding Precautions Refuelling and Fuel Guidelines Honda selectable torque control (Torque Control) When the system detects rear wheel spin during acceleration, the system will limit the amount of torque applied to the rear wheel based on the Torque Control level selected. Torque Control does not work during deceleration and will not prevent the rear wheel from skidding due to engine braking. Do not close the throttle suddenly, especially when riding on slippery surfaces. Motorcycle Safety Follow these guidelines to protect the engine and catalytic converter: ● Use only unleaded petrol. ● Use recommended octane number. Using lower octane petrol will result in decreased engine performance. ● Do not use fuels containing a high concentration of alcohol. 2 P. 121 ● Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or an oil/petrol mixture. ● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank. Torque Control will allow some wheel spin during acceleration at the lower Torque Control levels settings. Select a level that is appropriate for your skill and riding conditions. Torque Control may not compensate for rough road conditions or rapid throttle operation. Always consider road and weather conditions, as well as your skills and condition, when applying throttle. If your motorcycle gets stuck in mud, snow or sand, it may be easier to free it with the Torque Control temporarily switched off. Temporarily turning off Torque Control also may help you maintain control and balance when riding on off-road terrain. Always use the recommended tyres and sprockets to ensure correct Torque Control operation. 15 15 VFR800X-32MJM8000.book 16 ページ ２０１４年１２月１９日 金曜日 午後１時４０分 Accessories & Modifications Motorcycle Safety 16 Accessories & Modifications We strongly advise that you do not add any accessories that were not specifically designed for your motorcycle by Honda or make modifications to your motorcycle from its original design.
