Safety GuidelinesFollow 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 inexhaust gases is toxic and can kill you.

Always Wear a HelmetIt's a proven fact: helmets and protectiveapparel significantly reduce the number andseverity of head and other injuries. So alwayswear an approved motorcycle helmet andprotective apparel. 2 P. 9

Before RidingMake sure that you are physically fit, mentallyfocused and free of alcohol and drugs. Checkthat you and your passenger are both wearingan approved motorcycle helmet and protectiveapparel. Instruct your passenger on holdingonto the seat strap or your waist, leaning withyou in turns, and keeping their feet on thefootpegs, even when the motorcycle is stopped.

Take Time to Learn & PracticeEven if you have ridden other motorcycles,practice riding in a safe area to become familiarwith how this motorcycle works and handles,and to become accustomed to the motorcycle'ssize and weight.We recommend that all riders take a certifiedcourse approved by the Motorcycle SafetyFoundation (MSF). New riders should start withthe basic course, and even experienced riderswill find the advanced course beneficial.

For information about the MSF training coursenearest you, call the national toll-free number:(800) 446-9227.

USA Other riding tips can be found in the Youand Your Motorcycle Riding Tips booklet thatcame with your motorcycle.

Ride DefensivelyAlways pay attention to other vehicles aroundyou, and do not assume that other drivers seeyou. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform anevasive maneuver.

Make Yourself Easy to SeeMake yourself more visible, especially at night,by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioningyourself so other drivers can see you, signalingbefore turning or changing lanes, and usingyour horn when necessary.

Ride within Your LimitsNever ride beyond your personal abilities orfaster than conditions warrant. Fatigue andinattention can impair your ability to use goodjudgment and ride safely.

Don't Drink and RideAlcohol and riding don't mix. Even one alcoholicdrink can reduce your ability to respond tochanging conditions, and your reaction timegets worse with every additional drink. Don'tdrink and ride, and don't let your friends drinkand ride either.

Riding PrecautionsBreak-in Period

During the first 300 miles (500 km) of running,follow these guidelines to ensure yourmotorcycle's future reliability and performance.● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid

acceleration.● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.● Ride conservatively.

BrakesObserve the following guidelines:● Avoid excessively hard braking and

downshifting.u Sudden braking can reduce the

motorcycle's stability.u Where possible, reduce speed before

turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.

● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.u The tires slip more easily on such

surfaces and braking distances arelonger.

● Avoid continuous braking.u Repeated braking, such as when

descending long, steep slopes canseriously overheat the brakes, reducingtheir effectiveness. Use engine brakingwith intermittent use of the brakes toreduce speed.

● For full braking effectiveness, operate boththe front and rear brakes together.

Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety

# Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)This model is equipped with an Anti-lock BrakeSystem (ABS) designed to help prevent thebrakes from locking up during hard braking.● ABS does not reduce braking distance. In

certain circumstances, ABS may result in alonger stopping distance.

● ABS does not function at speeds below 6mph (10 km/h).

● The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightlywhen applying the brakes. This is normal.

● Always use the recommended front/reartires and sprockets to ensure correct ABSoperation.

# Engine BrakingEngine braking helps slow your motorcycledown when you release the throttle. For furtherslowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Useengine braking with intermittent use of thebrakes to reduce speed when descending long,steep slopes.

# Wet or Rainy ConditionsRoad surfaces are slippery when wet, and wetbrakes further reduce braking efficiency.Exercise extra caution when braking in wetconditions.If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes whileriding at low speed to help them dry.

Riding PrecautionsM

otorcycle Safety

11Continued

Parking● Park on a firm, level surface.● If you must park on a slight incline or loose

surface, park so that the motorcycle cannotmove or fall over.

● Make sure that high-temperature partscannot come into contact with flammablematerials.

● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakesand other high-temperature parts until theycool down.

● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lockthe handlebar and remove the key whenleaving the motorcycle unattended.Use of an anti-theft device is alsorecommended.

# Parking with the Side Stand1. 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.

4. Turn the handlebar fully to the left.u Turning the handlebar to the right

reduces stability and may cause themotorcycle to fall.

5. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCKposition and remove the key. 2 P. 56

Refueling and Fuel GuidelinesFollow these guidelines to protect the engine,fuel system and catalytic converter:● Use only unleaded gasoline.● Use recommended octane number. Using

lower octane gasoline will result indecreased engine performance.

● Do not use fuels containing a highconcentration of alcohol. 2 P. 157

● Do not use stale or contaminated gasolineor an oil/gasoline mixture.

● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Honda selectable torque controlWhen the Honda selectable torque control(Torque Control) detects rear wheel spin duringacceleration, the system will limit the amount oftorque applied to the rear wheel based on theTorque Control level selected.Additionally, the system will limit torque duringa wheelie while accelerating based on theTorque Control level selected.

Torque Control will allow some wheel spinduring acceleration at the lower Torque Controllevels settings. Select a level that is appropriatefor your skill and riding conditions.

Torque Control does not work duringdeceleration and will not prevent the rear wheelfrom skidding due to engine braking. Do notclose the throttle suddenly, especially whenriding on slippery surfaces.

Torque Control may not compensate for roughroad conditions or rapid throttle operation.Always consider road and weather conditions,as well as your skills and condition, whenapplying throttle.If your motorcycle gets stuck in mud, snow orsand, it may be easier to free it by turning offthe Torque Control temporarily.Temporarily turning off Torque Control alsomay help you maintain control and balancewhen riding on off-road terrain.

Always use the recommended tires andsprockets to ensure correct Torque Controloperation.

Recommended CoolantPro Honda HP Coolant is a pre-mixed solutionof antifreeze and distilled water.

Concentration:50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water

A concentration of antifreeze below 40% willnot provide proper corrosion and coldtemperature protection.A concentration of up to 60% will provide betterprotection in colder climates.NOTICEUsing coolant not specified for aluminum enginesor tap/mineral water can cause corrosion.

Crankcase BreathersService more frequently when riding in rain, atfull throttle, or after the motorcycle is washed oroverturned. Service if the deposit level can beseen in the transparent section of the draintube.If the drain tube overflows, the air filter maybecome contaminated with engine oil causingpoor engine performance. 2 P. 113

Tire Service LifeThe service life of your tires is dependent onmany factors, including, but not limited to,riding habits, road conditions, vehicle loading,tire air pressure, maintenance history, speed,and environmental conditions (even when thetires are not in use).

In addition to your regular inspections andmaintenance, it is recommended that you haveannual inspections performed once the tiresreach 5 years old. It is also recommended thatall tires be removed from service after 10 yearsfrom the date of manufacture, regardless oftheir condition or state of wear.

The last four digits of the TIN (tire identificationnumber) indicate the date of manufacture.

# Tire Identification Number (TIN)The tire identification number (TIN) is a groupof numbers and letters located on the sidewallof the tire.

a b cDOT XXXX XXXX 22 09DOT: This indicates that the tire meets all

requirements of the U.S.Department of Transportation.

Exhaust Emission Control SystemThe exhaust emission control system includesthe following components that should not needadjustment, although periodic inspection byyour dealer is recommended.

# PGM-FI SystemThe PGM-FI (programmed fuel injection) systemuses sequential multiport fuel injection, and iscomprised of air intake, engine control, fuelcontrol, and exhaust control subsystems. Theengine control module (ECM) uses sensors todetermine how much air enters the engine, andthen controls how much fuel to inject.

# Ignition Timing Control SystemThe ignition timing control system adjusts theignition timing to reduce the amount of HC,CO, and NOx produced.

# Secondary Air Injection SystemThe secondary air injection system adds filteredair into the exhaust gas to help improveemission control performance.

# Catalytic ConvertersThe exhaust system contains one or morecatalytic converters. Catalytic converters use acatalyst to convert most of the harmful exhaustgas compounds into harmless compounds.
