Please read this section carefully.
Motorcycle Safety

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.
Always Wear a Helmet
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. 112
Before Riding
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.
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.
Continued

Make Yourself Easy to See
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.
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 ( P. 17), and do not modify2
your motorcycle or install accessories that
would make your motorcycle unsafe ( P. 16).2
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.
Motorcycle Safety
4

If you decide to continue riding, first turn the
ignition switch to the (Off) position, and
evaluate the condition of your motorcycle.
Inspect for fluid leaks, check the tightness of
critical nuts and bolts, and check the handlebar,
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.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a
colourless, 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.
3WARNING
Running the engine of your motorcycle
while in an enclosed or even partially
enclosed area can cause a rapid build-
up of toxic carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing this colourless, odorless gas
can quickly cause unconsciousness and
lead to death.
Only run your motorcycle's engine
when it is located in a well ventilated
area outdoors.

Image Labels
The following pages describe the label
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.
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
motorcycle to be serviced only by your
dealer.

Safety Precautions
●Ride cautiously and keep your hands on the
handlebar and feet on the step board.
●Keep passenger's hands onto 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.

wearing an approved motorcycle helmet, eye
protection, and high-visibility protective
clothing. Ride defensively in response to
weather and road conditions.
#
Helmet
Safety-standard certified, high-visibility, 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.
3WARNING
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.
#
Gloves
Full-finger leather gloves with high abrasion
resistance.
#
Boots or Riding Shoes
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles and ankle
protection.
#
Jacket and Trousers
Protective, highly visible, long-sleeved jacket
and durable trousers for riding (or a protective
suit).

Riding Precautions
Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your
motorcycle's future reliability and performance.
●Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
●Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
●Ride conservatively.
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
●Avoid excessively hard braking and
downshifting.
uSudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle's stability.
uWhere possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
●Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
uThe tyres 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.
Motorcycle Safety
12

#
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 10
km/h (6 mph).
●The brake levers may recoil slightly when
applying the brakes. This is normal.
●Always use the recommended front/rear
tyres and sprockets to ensure correct ABS
operation.
#
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.
Continued

Parking
●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 handlebar, lock the ignition switch
( P. 47) and leave your motorcycle while2
taking the Honda SMART Key with you.
Deactivate the Honda SMART Key system if
necessary. P. 422
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.

Importance of Maintenance
Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is
absolutely essential to your safety and to
protect your investment, obtain maximum
performance, avoid breakdowns, and reduce air
pollution. Maintenance is the owner's
responsibility. Be sure to inspect your
motorcycle before each ride, and perform the
periodic checks specified in the Maintenance
Schedule. P. 692
3WARNING
Improperly maintaining your
motorcycle or failing to correct a
problem before you ride can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously hurt
or killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner's manual.
Maintenance Safety
Always read the maintenance instructions
before you begin each task, and make sure that
you have the tools, parts, and skills required.
We cannot warn you of every conceivable
hazard that can arise in performing
maintenance. Only you can decide whether or
not you should perform a given task.
Follow these guidelines when performing
maintenance.
●Stop the engine and turn the ignition switch
to the (Off) position.
●Place your motorcycle on a firm, level
surface using the side stand, centre stand or
a maintenance stand to provide support.
●Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before
servicing as you can get burned.
●Run the engine only when instructed, and
do so in a well-ventilated area.
Maintenance
68

The maintenance schedule specifies the
maintenance requirements necessary to
ensure safe, dependable performance, and
proper emission control.
Maintenance work should be performed in
accordance with Honda's standards and
specifications by properly trained and
equipped technicians. Your dealer meets all
of these requirements. Keep an accurate
record of maintenance to help ensure that
your motorcycle is properly maintained.
Make sure that whomever performs the
maintenance completes this record.
All scheduled maintenance is considered a
normal owner operating cost and will be
charged to you by your dealer. Retain all
receipts. If you sell the motorcycle, these
receipts should be transferred with the
motorcycle to the new owner.
Honda recommends that your dealer should
road test your motorcycle after each periodic
maintenance is carried out.

dealer about when you should replace the
battery. Always replace the battery with another
maintenance-free battery of the same type.
NOTICE
Installing non-Honda electrical accessories can
overload the electrical system, discharging the
battery and possibly damaging the system.
Fuses
Fuses protect the electrical circuits on your
motorcycle. If something electrical on your
motorcycle stops working, check for and
replace any blown fuses. P. 1412
#
Inspecting and Replacing Fuses
Turn the ignition switch to the (Off) position
to remove and inspect fuses. If a fuse is blown,
replace with a fuse of the same rating. For fuse
ratings, see “Specifications.” P. 1602
NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher
rating greatly increases the chance of damage to
the electrical system.
Blown fuse

If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an
electrical fault. Have your motorcycle inspected
by your dealer.
Engine Oil
Engine oil consumption varies and oil quality
deteriorates according to riding conditions and
time elapsed.
Check the engine oil level regularly, and add the
recommended engine oil if necessary. Dirty oil or
old oil should be changed as soon as possible.
#
Selecting the Engine Oil
For recommended engine oil, see
“Specifications.” P. 1592
If you use non-Honda engine oil, check the
label to make sure that the oil satisfies all of the
following standards:
●JASO T 903 standard *1
: MA
●SAE standard *2: 10W-30
●API classification*3: SG or higher
*1. The JASO T 903 standard is an index for engine
oils for 4-stroke motorcycle engines. There are
two classes: MA and MB. For example, the
following label shows the MA classification.
*2. The SAE standard grades oils by their viscosity.
*3. The API classification specifies the quality and
performance rating of engine oils. Use SG or
higher oils, excluding oils marked as “Energy
Conserving” or “Resource Conserving” on the
circular API service symbol.

Brake Fluid
Do not add or replace brake fluid, except in an
emergency. Use only fresh brake fluid from a
sealed container. If you do add fluid, have the
brake system serviced by your dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
Brake fluid can damage plastic and painted
surfaces.
Wipe up spills immediately and wash thoroughly.
Recommended brake fluid:
Honda DOT 4 Brake Fluid or equivalent
Drive Chain
The drive chain must be inspected and
lubricated regularly. Inspect the chain more
frequently if you often ride on bad roads, ride at
high speed, or ride with repeated fast
acceleration. P. 1032
If the chain does not move smoothly, makes
strange noises, has damaged rollers, has loose
pins, has missing O-rings, or kinks, have the
chain inspected by your dealer.
Also inspect the drive sprocket and driven
sprocket. If either has worn or damaged teeth,
have the sprocket replaced by your dealer.
NOTICE
Use of a new chain with worn sprockets will cause
rapid chain wear.

#
Cleaning and Lubricating
After inspecting the slack, clean the chain and
sprockets while rotating the rear wheel. Use a dry
cloth with chain cleaner designed specifically for
O-ring chains, or neutral detergent. Use a soft
brush if the chain is dirty.
After cleaning, wipe dry and lubricate with the
recommended lubricant.
Recommended lubricant:
Drive chain lubricant designed
specifically for O-ring chains
If not available, use SAE 80 or 90 gear oil.
Do not use a steam cleaner, a high pressure
cleaner, a wire brush, volatile solvent such as
petrol and benzene, abrasive cleaner, chain
cleaner or lubricant NOT designed specifically
for O-ring chains as these can damage the
rubber O-ring seals.
Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tyres.
Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to prevent
spray onto your clothes and the motorcycle.
Recommended Coolant
Pro Honda HP Coolant is a pre-mixed solution
of antifreeze and distilled water.
Concentration:
50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water
A concentration of antifreeze below 40% will
not provide proper corrosion and cold
temperature protection.
Maintenance
78

A concentration of up to 60% will provide better
protection in colder climates.
NOTICE
Using coolant not specified for aluminium
engines or tap/mineral water can cause
corrosion.
Crankcase Breather
Service more frequently when riding in rain, at
full throttle, or after the motorcycle is washed or
overturned. Service if the deposit level can be
seen in the transparent section of the drain
tube.
If the drain tube overflows, the air filter may
become contaminated with engine oil causing
poor engine performance. P. 1082
Tyres (Inspecting/Replacing)
#
Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tyres and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tyres look low. Always check air pressure when
your tyres are cold.
Even if the direction of the valve stem is
changed, do not return it to the original
position. Have your motorcycle inspected by
your dealer.
