A Few Words About Safety

Your safety, and the safety of others, is very

important. Operating this motorcycle safely is

an important responsibility.

To help you make informed decisions about

safety, we have provided operating

procedures and other information on safety

labels and in this manual. This information

alerts you to potential hazards that could

hurt you or others.

Of course, it is not practical or possible to

warn you about all hazards associated with

operating or maintaining a motorcycle. You

must use your own good judgment.

You will find important safety information in

a variety of forms, including:

●

Safety labels on the motorcycle

●

Safety Messages preceded by a safety alert

symbol and one of three signal words:

DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.

These signal words mean:

DANGER

You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY

HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

WARNING

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY

HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

CAUTION

You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow

instructions.

Other important information is

provided under the following titles:

NOTICE

Information to help you avoid

damage to your motorcycle,

other property, or the

environment.

Safety Guidelines

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.

It’s a proven fact: helmets and protective

apparel significantly reduce the number and

severity of head and other injuries. So always

wear an approved motorcycle helmet and

protective apparel.

P. 9

Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally

focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check

that you and your passenger are both wearing

an approved motorcycle helmet and protective

apparel. Instruct your passenger on holding

onto the grab rails or your waist, leaning with

you in turns, and keeping their feet on the

footpegs, even when the motorcycle is stopped.

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.

Always Wear a Helmet

Before Riding

Take Time to Learn & Practice

Safety Guidelines

Motorcycle Safety

We recommend that all riders take a certified

course approved by the Motorcycle Safety

Foundation (MSF). New riders should start with

the basic course, and even experienced riders

will find the advanced course beneficial.

For information about the MSF training course

nearest you, call the national toll-free number:

(800) 446-9227.

Other riding tips can be found in the You

and Your Motorcycle Riding Tips booklet that

came with your motorcycle.

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 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.

Never ride beyond your personal abilities or

faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and

inattention can impair your ability to use good

judgment and ride safely.

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.

Motorcycle Safety

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 (

P. 15), and do not modify

your motorcycle or install accessories that

would make your motorcycle unsafe (

P. 14).

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,

check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts,

and check the handlebars, control levers,

brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously.

Your motorcycle may have suffered damage

that is not immediately apparent. Have your

motorcycle thoroughly checked at a qualified

service facility as soon as possible.

Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition

If You are Involved in a Crash

Safety Guidelines

Motorcycle Safety

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide,

a colorless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon

monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and

may lead to death.

If you run the engine in confined or even partly

enclosed area, the air you breathe could contain

a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide.

Never run your motorcycle inside a garage or

other enclosure.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

WARNING

Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.

Breathing it can cause

unconsciousness and even kill you.

Avoid any areas or activities that

expose you to carbon monoxide.

Safety Labels

Motorcycle Safety

Safety Labels

Safety and information labels on your

motorcycle provide important safety

information and may warn you of potential

hazards that could cause serious injury. Read

these labels carefully and don’t remove them.

If a label comes off or becomes hard to read,

Safety Precautions

●Ride cautiously and keep your hands on the

handlebars and feet on the footpegs.

●Keep passenger’s hands on the grab rails or

your waist, passenger’s feet on the footpegs

while riding.

●Always consider the safety of your passenger,

as well as other drivers and riders.

Make sure that you and any passenger are

wearing an approved motorcycle helmet, eye

protection, and high-visibility protective

clothing. Ride defensively in response to

weather and road conditions.

❙

Helmet

Should be safety-standard certified, high-

visibility, and correct size for your head.

●Must fit comfortably but securely, with the

chin strap fastened.

●Face shield with unobstructed field of vision

or other approved eye protection.

Look for a DOT (Department of

Transportation) certification label on any helmet

you buy.

❙

Gloves

Full-finger leather gloves with high abrasion

resistance

Protective Apparel

WARNING

Not wearing a helmet increases the

chance of serious injury or death in a

crash.

Make sure that you and any passenger

always wear an approved helmet and

protective apparel.

USA

Riding Precautions

continued

Motorcycle Safety

●Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.

uThe tires slip more easily on such surfaces

and braking distances are longer.

●Avoid continuous braking.

uRepeated braking, such as when

descending long, steep slopes can

seriously overheat the brakes, reducing

their effectiveness. Use engine braking

with intermittent use of the brakes to

reduce speed.

●For full braking effectiveness, operate both

the front and rear brakes together.

❙

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

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 6

mph (10 km/h).

●The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly

when applying the brakes. This is normal.

●Always use the recommended tires to ensure

correct ABS operation.

CBR500RA only

Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety

❙

Engine Braking

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.

❙

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.

●Park on a firm, level 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 handlebars and remove the key when

leaving the motorcycle unattended.

Use of an anti-theft device is also

recommended.

Parking

Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety

❙

Parking with the Side Stand

Stop the engine.

Push the side stand down.

Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its

weight rests on the side stand.

Turn the handlebars fully to the left.

uTurning the handlebars to the right

reduces stability and may cause the

motorcycle to fall.

Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position

and remove the key.

P. 33

Follow these guidelines to protect the engine

and catalytic converter:

●Use only unleaded gasoline.

●Use recommended octane number. Using

lower octane gasoline will result in decreased

engine performance.

●Do not use fuels containing a high

concentration of alcohol.

P. 121

●Do not use stale or contaminated gasoline or

an oil/gasoline mixture.

●Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

original design. Doing so can make it unsafe.

Modifying your motorcycle may also void your

warranty and make your motorcycle illegal to

operate on public roads and highways. Before

deciding to install accessories on your

motorcycle be certain the modification is safe

and legal.

Do not pull a trailer with, or attach a sidecar to,

your motorcycle. Your motorcycle was not

designed for these attachments, and their use

can seriously impair your motorcycle’s handling.

WARNING

Improper accessories or modifications

can cause a crash in which you can be

seriously hurt or killed.

Turn the adjuster using a suitable pin spanner

and extension bar.

The preload adjuster has 9 positions. The

standard position is 3 when the index mark

on the adjuster is aligned with the left end of

the rear shock absorber lower mounting bolt.

Turn the adjuster in the direction A to

decrease spring preload (soft) (position 1 to

2), or turn the adjuster in the direction B to

increase spring preload (hard) (position 4 to

9).

Attempting to adjust directly from 1 to 9 or 9

to 1 may damage the shock absorber.
