  • -Your motorcycle can provide many years of service and pleasure if you takeresponsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges that you canmeet on the road.

    There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You’ll findmany helpful recommendations throughout this manual. Following are a fewthat we consider to be most important.

    Some drivers do not see motorcycles because they are not looking for them.To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, positionyourself so other drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes,and use your horn when it will help others notice you.

    Pushing the limits is another major cause of motorcycle crashes. Never ridebeyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Rememberthat alcohol, drugs, fatigue and inattention can significantly reduce your abilityto make good judgements and ride safely.

    Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respondto changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additionaldrink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride either.

    For safe riding, it’s important to inspect your motorcycle before every ride andperform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and only useaccessories that have been approved by Honda for this motorcycle. See page

    for more details.

    It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of headinjuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and make sure yourpassenger does the same. We also recommend that you wear eye protection,sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear (page ).2

  • For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approvedmotorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, trousers, and a long-sleevedshirt or jacket whenever you ride. Although complete protection is not possible,wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.Following are suggestions to help you choose proper gear.

    Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers thebest protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your headcomfortably and securely. A bright-coloured helmet can make you morenoticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips.

    An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more.Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.

    12/12/06 16:12:35 32MJG600_012

  • In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:

    Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.

    Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts,burns and bruises.

    A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright-coloured and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic.Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of yourmotorcycle.

  • The owner must properly maintain the coolant to prevent freezing, overheating,and corrosion. Use only high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containingcorrosion protection inhibitors specifically recommended for use in aluminumengines. (SEE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINER LABEL).

    Use only low-mineral drinking water or distilled water as a part of theantifreeze solution. Water that is high in mineral content or salt may beharmful to the aluminum engine.

    The factory provides a 50/50 solution of antifreeze and distilled water in thismotorcycle. This coolant solution is recommended for most operatingtemperatures and provides good corrosion protection. A higher concentrationof antifreeze decreases the cooling system performance and is recommendedonly when additional protection against freezing is needed. A concentration ofless than 40/60 (40% antifreeze) will not provide proper corrosion protection.During freezing temperatures, check the cooling system frequently and addhigher concentrations of antifreeze (up to a maximum of 60% antifreeze) ifrequired.

    Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may cause premature wear of water pumpseals or blockage of radiator passages.Using tap water may cause engine damage.

  • Use unleaded petrol with a research octane number of 91 or higher.The use of leaded petrol will cause premature damage to the catalyticconverter.

    Occasionally you may experience light spark knock while operating underheavy loads. This is no cause for concern, it simply means your engine isoperating efficiently.

    If ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinking’’ occurs at a steady engine speed under normalload, change brands of petrol. If spark knock or pinking persists, consult yourdealer. Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage caused by misuse isnot covered by Honda’s Limited Warranty.

  • If you decide to use a petrol containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure it’s octanerating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are two typesof ‘‘gasohol’’: one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Donot use petrol that contains more than 10 % ethanol. Do not use petrolcontaining methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also containcosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use petrol containingmore than 5 % methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.

    The use of petrol containing more than 10 % ethanol (or more than 5 %methanol) may:

    Damage the painting of the fuel tank.Damage the rubber tubes of the fuel line.Cause corrosion of the fuel tank.Cause poor drivability.

    Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the fuel containsalcohol. If it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used. If younotice any undesirable operating symptoms while using a petrol that containsalcohol, or one that you think contains alcohol, switch to a petrol that you knowdoes not contain alcohol.

  • To safely operate your motorcycle, your tyres must be the proper type and size,in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated for the load youare carrying. The following pages give more detailed information on how andwhen to check your air pressure, how to inspect your tyres for damage, andwhat to do when your tyres need to be repaired or replaced.

    Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides the best combination of handling,tread life and riding comfort. Generally, underinflated tyres wear unevenly,adversely affect handling, and are more likely to fail from being overheated.Overinflated tyres make your motorcycle ride harshly, are more prone todamage from road hazards, and wear unevenly.

    We recommend that you visually check your tyres before every ride and use agauge to measure air pressure at least once a month or any time you think thetyres might be low.Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing ability if they are punctured. However,because leakage is often very slow, you should look closely for punctureswhenever a tyre is not fully inflated.

    Always check air pressure when your tyres are ‘‘cold’’ when the motorcyclehas been parked for at least three hours. If you check air pressure when yourtyres are ‘‘warm’’ when the motorcycle has been ridden for even a fewkilometers the readings will be higher than if the tyres were ‘‘cold’’. This isnormal, so do not let air out of the tyres to match the recommended cold airpressures given below. If you do, the tyres will be underinflated.

    The recommended ‘‘cold’’ tyre pressures are:

    Also, if you hit a pothole or hard object, pull to the side of the road as soon asyou can safely and carefully inspect the tyres for damage.

    Look for:Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replace the tyre if youfind any bumps or bulges.Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replace the tyre if you can see fabric orcord.Excessive tread wear.

    Whenever you check the tyre pressures, you should also examine the tyretreads and sidewalls for wear, damage, and foreign objects:

    Replace tyres before tread depth at the centre of the tyre reaches the followinglimit:

    German law prohibits use of tyres whose tread depth is less than 1.6 mm.

    Even if a tyre is professionally repaired with a permanent internal patch plug, itwill not be as good as a new tyre. You should not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) forthe first 24 hours, or 130 km/h (80 mph) at any time thereafter. In addition,you may not be able to safely carry as much weight as with a new tyre.Therefore, we strongly recommend that you replace a damaged tyre. If youchoose to have a tyre repaired, be sure the wheel is balanced before you ride.

    If a tyre is punctured or damaged, you should replace it, not repair it. Asdiscussed below, a tyre that is repaired, either temporarily or permanently, willhave lower speed and performance limits than a new tyre.

    A temporary repair, such as an external tubeless tyre plug, may not be safe fornormal speeds and riding conditions. If a temporary or emergency repair ismade to a tyre, you should ride slowly and cautiously to a dealer and have thetyre replaced. If possible, you should not carry a passenger or cargo until a newtyre is installed.

  • HISS is the abbreviation of Honda Ignition Security System.

    The immobilizer system (HISS) protects your motorcycle from theft. Aproperly-coded key must be used in the ignition switch for the engine to start.If an improperly-coded key (or other device) is used the engine’s startingcircuit is disabled.

    When the ignition switch is turned ON and the engine stop switch is at ‘‘ ’’(RUN), the immobilizer system (HISS) indicator lights for a few seconds, thengoes off. If the indicator remains on, it means the system does not recognizethe coding of the key. Turn the ignition switch to OFF, remove the key,reinsert and turn the switch ON again.

    To operate this function, proceed as follows:

    When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the immobilizer system (HISS)indicator continues to flash every 2 seconds during 24 hours. After this period,the indicator automatically switches off.

    Turn the ignition switch ON or ACC.Push the SETUP button and push the DIM button. Push the INFO or TRIPbutton to select ON or OFF. Be sure to push the SETUP button to enter yoursetting in the system.Turn the ignition switch OFF.
