Page 5: Motorcycle Safety
Motorcycle Safety SAFE RIDING RULES Motorcycle riding requires special efforts on your part to ensure your safety. Know these requirements before you ride: 1. Always make a pre-ride inspection before you ride the motorcycle. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage. 2.
Page 6: Loading And Accessories
MODIFICATIONS Modification of the motorcycle, or removal of original equipment may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obey all federal, state and local equipment regulations. LOADING AND ACCESSORIES To prevent an accident, use extreme care when adding and riding with accessories and cargo. Addition of accessories and cargo can reduce a motorcycle's stability, performance and safe operating speed.
Page 7 8. Do not use the handlebars to hold the motorcycle with a rope during transportation or the handlebars may be bent. Accessories Genuine Honda accessories have been specifically designed for and tested on this motorcycle. Because the factory cannot test all other accessories, you are personally responsible for proper selection, installation, and use of non-Honda accessories.
Page 10: Instruments And Indicators
INSTRUMENTS AND INDICATORS The indicators are incorporated in the instrument panel. Their functions are described on the following pages. For model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS: Speedometer: shows riding speed. Tachometer: shows engine rpm. Never allow the tachometer needle to enter the red zone, even after the engine has been broken in.
Page 11 CAUTION: The red zone indicates the maximum limits of engine speed and running the engine in the red zone may adversely affect its service life. Turn Signal Indicators (green): Flashes when the turn signal operates. Odometer: Shows accumulated mileage. Tripmeter: Shows mileage per trip. Tripmeter Reset Button: Pushing the button resets the tripmeter to zero (0).
Page 12 For model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS: Fuel Reserve System Indicator: When this Indicator comes on while riding, there are about 5 liters (1.3 US gal, 1.1 Imp gal) left in the tank. Should also light for a few seconds and go off when the ignition switch is turned ON.
Page 13 For model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS: Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Indicator Light: This light normally comes on when the ignition is turned ON and goes off after starting to ride. If there is a problem with the Anti-lock Brake System, this light comes on and remains on - or blinks.For information about ABS.

Brake Fluid Level: Brake fluid may cause irritation. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In case of contact,  flush thoroughly with water and call a doctor if your eyes were exposed. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.  CAUTION: When adding brake fluid, be sure the reservoir is horizontal before the cap is removed ...
Page 18 Rear Brake 1. Remove the right saddlebag and right side cover. 2. Remove the cap. 3. Fill the reservoir with DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID from a sealed container up to the upper level mark. 4. Reinstall the removed the cap. Other Checks: Make sure there are no fluid leaks.
Page 19: Coolant
CLUTCH This motorcycle has a hydraulically actuated clutch. There are no adjustments to perform but the clutch system must be inspected periodically for fluid level and leakage. If the control lever freeplay becomes excessive and the motorcycle creeps or stalls when shifted into gear, or if the clutch slips, causing acceleration to lag behind engine speed, there is probably air in the clutch system and it must be bled out.
Page 20 less than 40/60 (40% antifreeze) will not provide proper corrosion protection. During freezing temperatures, check the cooling system frequently and add higher concentrations of antifreeze (up to a maximum of 60% antifreeze) if required. Inspection The coolant reserve tank is behind the right side cover (right side cowl for model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS).
Page 21: Fuel
Model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS: FUEL Automatic Fuel ON-OFF Fuel will flow to the carburetors only when the engine is started or is running. Fuel Tank Fuel tank capacity is 28 I (7.4 US gal, 6.1 Imp gal). Insert the ignition key and turn it clockwise to open the fuel filler compartment.
Page 22 Use unleaded or low-lead petrol with a research octane number of 91 or higher. We recommend that you use unleaded petrol because it produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust system components. FOR AUSTRALIA ONLY: Use unleaded petrol with a research octane number of 91 or higher.
Page 23: Engine Oil
NOTE: Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels  that contain alcohol are not covered under the warranty.

Page 42 High Air Temperature 35°C (95°F) or above: 1. Do not use the choke. 2. Open the throttle slightly. 3. Start the engine. Low Air Temperature 10°C (50°F) or below: 1. Follow steps 1 - 2 under "Normal Air Temperature". 2. When engine speed begins to pick up, operate the choke lever to keep fast idle at 2,000 - 2,500 min (rpm).
Page 43 CAUTION: Running the engine beyond recommended maximum engine speed (the beginning of  the tachometer red zone) can damage the engine. RIDING Review Motorcycle Safety before you ride. NOTE: Make sure the function of the side stand mechanism (See MAINTENANCE ...
Page 44  BRAKING This motorcycle is equipped with hydraulically-actuated disc brakes. Operation - Both Models: For normal braking, apply both the brake pedal and lever while downshifting to match your road speed. For maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply the pedal and the lever; pull in the clutch lever before coming to a complete stop to prevent stalling the engine.
Page 45 In some situations, a motorcycle with ABS may require a longer stopping distance to stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an equivalent motorcycle without ABS. ABS cannot make up for road conditions, bad judgment, or improper operation of the brakes. It is still your responsibility to ride at reasonable speeds for weather, road surface, and traffic conditions, and to leave a margin of safety.
Page 46  CAUTION Two red bulbs are used for the ABS indicator light. Be sure that both bulbs light when  the ignition is ON. If either or both bull fail to light. See your authorized Honda dealer. ABS/TCS Indicator Light Switch To dim the intensity of the blinking ABS Indicator Light, push the ABS/TCS Indicator Light Switch.
Page 47 TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) For model equipped with CBS/ABS/TCS: The Traction Control System (TCS) assists you in maintaining traction while accelerating on slippery surfaces by regulating the engine's power output when it senses the rear wheel starting to lose traction. TCS automatically turns on when the ignition is turned ON.
Page 48 TCS ON/OFF Switch This switch lets you turn TCS on or off. Before you begin riding or while parked, you may choose to turn TCS off by pressing the TCS ON/OFF Switch. (You cannot turn TCS off if the motorcycle is moving.) The TCS OFF Indicator comes on.
Page 49 NOTE: When the TCS indicator light blinks, TCS is automatically disabled and the TCS OFF  indicator turns on. The TCS indicator light may blink if you turn the rear wheel placing the motorcycle  upright on the stand. This is normal. Turn the ignition OFF to stop the blinking. ABS/TCS Indicator Light Switch To turn off the blinking TCS Indicator Light, push the ABS/TCS Indicator Light Switch.
