WELCOME
The vehicle presents you a challenge to master the machine, a challenge to adventure. You
ride through the wind, linked to the road by a vehicle that responds to your commands as
no other does. Unlike an automobile, there is no metal cage around you. Like an aeroplane,
a pre-ride inspection and regular maintenance are essential to your safety. Your reward is
freedom.
To meet the challenges safely, and to enjoy the adventure fully, you should become
thoroughly familiar with this owner’s manual BEFORE YOU RIDE THE VEHICLE.
As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded by a NOTICE symbol.
This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your vehicle, other property, or
the environment.
When service is required, remember that your Honda dealer knows your vehicle. If you
have the required mechanical “know-how” and tools, your dealer can supply you an official
Honda shop manual on paid basis to help you perform many maintenance and repair tasks.
Accessories shown in the illustration are not part of the standard equipment.

Pleasant riding, and thank you for choosing a Honda!

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
This vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts, promoting
chemical reactions to convert the exhaust gases without affecting the metals.
The catalytic converter acts on HC, CO and NOx. A replacement unit must be an original
Honda part or its equivalent.
The catalytic converter must operate at a high temperature for the chemical reactions to
take place. It can set on fire any combustible materials that come near it. Park your vehicle
away from high grasses, dry leaves or other flammables.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to air pollution, and can impair your engine’s
performance. Follow these guidelines to protect your vehicle catalytic converter.
• Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small amount of leaded petrol can contaminates
the catalyst metals making the catalytic converter ineffective.
• Keep your engine tuned-up.
• Have your vehicle diagnosed and replaced if it is misfiring, backfiring, stalling or
other wise not running properly.
