Introduction
Introduction
Int r oduc t ion
Congratulations on choosing your Honda ATV.
When you own a Honda, you’re part of a worldwide family of
satisfied customers — people who appreciate Honda’s reputation
for building quality into every product.
Your Honda was designed as a recreational ATV for off-road use by
one rider only.
Before riding, take time to get acquainted with your ATV and how it
works. To protect your investment, we urge you to take
responsibility for keeping your ATV well maintained. Scheduled
service is a must, of course. But it’s just as important
to observe the
break-in guidelines, and perform all pre-ride and other periodic
checks detailed in this manual.
We also recommend that you read this owner’s manual before you
ride. It’s full of facts, instructions, safety information, and helpful
tips. To make it easy to use, the manual contains a detailed list of
topics at the beginning of each section and an index at the back of
the book.
As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded
by a symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid
damage to your Honda, other property, or the environment.
Read the Warranties Booklet (page 203) thoroughly so you
understand the coverages that protect your new Honda and are
aware of your rights and responsibilities.
Whenever you ride, tread lightly. By staying on established trails and
riding only in approved areas, you help protect the environment and
keep off-road riding areas open for the future.

Important Safety Information
Your ATV can provide many years of service and pleasure if you take
responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you
can meet while riding.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride.
You’ll find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual.
The following are a few that we consider to be most important.
Follow the Age Recommendation
The minimum recommended age for this ATV model is 16. Children
under age 16 should never operate this vehicle. Re
fer to the age
warnings provided in this manual and on the ATV.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and
severity of head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle
helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy
boots, gloves, and other protective gear (page 26).
Never Carry a Passenger
Your ATV is designed for one person only. There are no handholds,
footrests, or seat for a second person, so never carry a passenger. A
passenger could interfere with your ability to move around to
maintain your balance and control of the ATV.
ATV Safety 3
Important Safety Information
Ride Off-road Only
Your ATV is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The
tires are not made for pavement, and the ATV does not have turn
signals and other features required for use on public roads. If you
need to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your ATV
across.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other ATVs, take time to become familiar
with how this ATV works and handles. Practice in a safe area until
you build your skills and get accustomed to the ATV’s size and
weight.
Because many crashes involve inexperienced or untrained riders,
weurge all riders to take a ATV operator course approved by the ATV
Safety Institute (ASI). See page 28.
Contact an authorized ATV dealer or call 1-800-887-2887 (USA
only) to find out about the training courses nearest you.
Be Alert for Off-road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you ride off-
road. Continually “read” the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs,
rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough
to allow time to see and react to hazards.
ATV Safety 5
Safety Labels
Your ATV comes with a hang tag and several labels containing
important safety information. Anyone who rides the vehicle should
read and understand this information before riding.
The labels should be considered permanent parts of the vehicle. If a
label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your dealer for
replacements.

Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it
offers the best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit
your head comfortably and securely.
Protective Apparel
Before Riding 27
Are You Ready to Ride?
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet
offers more. Regardless of the style, look for a DOT (Department of
Transportation) sticker on any helmet you buy (USA only). Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your
vision.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
• Sturdy off-road motorcycle boots to help protect your feet,
ankles, and lower legs.
• Off-road motorcycle gloves to help protect your hands.
• Riding pants with knee and hip pads, a riding jersey with padded
elbows, and a chest/shoulder protector.
WARNING

Load Limits & Guidelines
Your Honda was designed as a rider-only ATV. It was not designed
to carry a passenger or cargo. A passenger or cargo could interfere
with your ability to move around to maintain your balance and
control of the ATV.
In addition, exceeding the weight limits or carrying an unbalanced
load can seriously affect your ATV’s handling, braking and stability.
Adding accessories or making modifications that change this ATV’s
design and performance can also make it unsafe. Also, the weight of
any accessories will reduce the maximum load the ATV can carry.
More specific information on load limits, accessories, and
modifications follows.
How much weight you put on your ATV, and how you load it, are
important to your safety. If you decide to carry cargo, you should be
aware of the following information.
Loading

guidelines in this manual.
Before Riding 35
Load Limits & Guidelines
Following are the load limits for your ATV:
There are limits to how much weight can be carried on your ATV.
The following load limits apply to standard equipment only.
Modifying your ATV, using non-standard equipment, or riding on
terrain that is not flat and smooth could further reduce these limits.
The weight of added accessories will reduce the maximum cargo
weight you can carry.
Load Limits
maximum weight capacity 243 lb (110 kg)
(includes the weight of the rider, all cargo, and accessories.)
Before Riding
36
Load Limits & Guidelines
As discussed on , we recommenpage 34 d that you do not carry any
cargo on this ATV. However, if you decide to carry cargo, ride at
reduced speeds and follow these common-sense guidelines.
Carrying cargo or pulling a trailer will affect how your ATV handles
and greatly reduce its ability in accelerating, braking and making
turns and other maneuvers.
Be sure to observe the weight limits and follow these guidelines:
• Check that the tires are properly inflated.
• Never ride with a passenger. The ATV is not designed to carry a
passenger.
• Do not tow another vehicle.
• Never exceed the maximum weight limit.
• Make sure all cargo is secured before riding.
• Allow extra room for starting, stopping and turning whenever
you carry cargo or pull a trailer.
• Avoid riding on steep slopes when carrying cargo or pulling a
trailer.
• Never cross a slope when towing a trailer.
Loading Guidelines
Before Riding 37
Accessories & Modifications
Modifying your ATV or using non-Honda accessories can make your
ATV unsafe.
Before you consider making any modifications or adding an
accessory, be sure to read the following information.
We strongly recommend that you use only Honda Genuine
Accessories that have been specifically designed and tested for your
ATV. Because Honda cannot test all other accessories, you must be
personally responsible for proper selection, installation, and use of
non-Honda accessories.
Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow these
guidelines:
• Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce
ground clearance, limit suspension travel or steering travel, or
interfere with operating any controls.
• Make sure the accessory does not interfere with your ability to
shift body position on the seat or operate hand and foot controls.
• Do not add any electrical equipment that will exceed the vehicle’s
electrical system capacity ( ). page 190 A blown fuse can cause a
loss of lights or engine power ( ).page 179

Safe Riding Precautions
You should never ride your ATV on public streets, roads or highways,
even if they are not paved. Drivers of street vehicles may have difficulty
seeing and avoiding you, which could lead to a collision. In many states
it is illegal to operate ATVs on public streets, roads and highways.
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footpegs
when riding your ATV. This is important to maintain your balance and to
control the vehicle. Removing even one hand from the handlebars or one
foot from the footpegs can reduce your ability to control the ATV or could
cause you to lose your balance and fall off the ATV.

Shifting Gears
The shift lever is located near the left footpeg. One full stroke of the
shift lever shifts the transmission to the next higher or lower gear in
the shifting sequence. The shift lever automatically returns to the
horizontal position when released.
Your ATV has five forward gears (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). To shift the
transmission, pull in the clutch lever, then operate the shift lever as
follows.
To upshift to a higher gear, put the toe of your boot under the shift
lever and raise it one full stroke. To downshift, step on the shift lever
and depress it one full stroke.
To select reverse, use the reverse assist knob ( ).page 54
After starting the engine and letting it warm up, follow these
procedures:
1.

GEAR SHIFTING SEQUENCE
Basic Operation & Riding 53
Shifting Gears
3.
Release the brake pedal, gradually release the clutch
lever/parking brake lever, and increase engine speed by gradually
opening the throttle.
4.
When the speed increases, close the throttle, pull in the clutch
lever/parking brake lever, shift to 2nd gear by raising the shift
lever, and gradually release the clutch lever/parking brake lever
while gradually opening the throttle.
5.
Repeat this sequence to progressively upshift to 3rd, 4th and 5th
(top) gear.
6.
To downshift, reverse this sequence. Remember to close the
throttle each time you shift to the next lower gear.
Learning when to shift gears comes with experience. Keep the
following tips in mind:
• As a general rule, shift while moving in a straight line.
• Close the throttle and pull the clutch lever/parking brake lever in
completely before shifting. Improper shifting may damage the
engine, transmission, and drivetrain.
• Upshift to a higher gear or reduce throttle before engine rpm
(speed) gets too high. Learn the relationship between engine
sound and the normal shifting points.
• Downshift to a lower gear before you feel the engine laboring
(lugging) at low rpm.
• Avoid downshifting to help slow your ATV when engine rpm is
high. Downshifting when engine speed is near its allowable
maximum may over-rev the engine and possibly cause damage.
• To prevent transmission damage, do not coast or tow the ATV for
long distances with the engine off.
Recommended Shift Points
Ride in the highest gear that lets the engine run and accelerate
smoothly.
This will give you good fuel economy and effective emissions control.

Riding in Reverse
WARNING
3
WARNING
Applying only the rear brake abruptly when
operating in reverse gear could cause the
front wheels to lift off the ground and the
ATV could overturn backwards.
Carefully apply both the front and rear brakes
when stopping in reverse gear.
Basic Operation & Riding 57
Braking
Your ATV is equipped with disc braking systems which are
hydraulically activated. Depressing the brake pedal applies the rear
disc brake. Operating the brake lever applies the front disc brake.
As a general rule, the front braking system provides about 70
percent of total stopping power.
For full braking effectiveness, use both the pedal and lever
simultaneously. Using both braking systems will stop your ATV faster
with greater stability.
To slow or stop, apply the brake lever and brake pedal smoothly, while
downshifting to match your speed.
Gradually increase braking as you feel the brakes slowing your
speed.
The increase in engine compression from downshifting will help slow
your ATV.
For maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply the brake
lever and pedal controls.
Applying the brakes too hard may cause the wheels to lock and slide,
reducing control of your ATV. If this happens, release the brake
controls, steer straight ahead until you regain control, then reapply
the brakes more gently.
When possible, reduce your speed or complete braking before
entering a turn. Avoid braking or closing the throttle quickly while
turning. Either action may cause one or more wheels to slip and
reduce your control of your ATV.
Basic Operation & Riding
58
Braking
Your ability to brake in a turn and to brake hard in an emergency
situation are important riding skills.
When descending a long, steep grade, use engine compression
braking by downshifting, with intermittent use of both brakes.
Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce
their effectiveness.
To prevent stalling the engine, pull the clutch lever/parking brake
lever in before coming to a complete stop.
Riding with your foot resting on the brake pedal
or your hand on the
brake lever may overheat the brakes, reducing effectiveness.
For information on how to apply the brakes in various riding
situations, see the following section, Riding Your ATV.

Riding Your ATV
Learn how to turn your ATV properly. Practice the techniques
outlined in this section on level ground and at low speeds until you
are confident in making turns.
Making Turns
WARNING
3
WARNING
Turning improperly can make the ATV go out
of control, causing a collision or overturn.
• Always follow proper procedures for
turning as described in this owner’s manual.
• Practice turning at low speeds before
attempting to turn at faster speeds.
• Do not turn at excessive speeds.
Basic Operation & Riding
60
Riding Your ATV
To make a turn on level ground: Steer the handlebar and lean your
body toward the inside of the turn. Leaning helps balance the
vehicle, and it feels more comfortable. Leaning into a turn is an
important technique to master in riding an ATV.
To make a sharp turn at low speed: It helps to shift your body slightly
forward on the seat, and lean inside, as you steer the handlebar.
Shifting weight forward allows the rear wheels to turn easier, and it
also improves front-wheel steering.
To make a turn from a full stop: Apply the throttle gradually when
you turn and start up at the same time. Remember to shift your body
forward to make sharp low-speed turns and whenever you turn
while accelerating from a full stop.
Lean your body to the inside of a turn and forward.
Basic Operation & Riding 61
Riding Your ATV
The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding
during a turn is more likely to occur on slippery surfaces, such as
snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may lose all
directional control. To avoid skidding on slippery terrain, keep your
speed low and ride with caution.
If your ATV skids sideways during a turn, steer in the direction of the
skid. Avoid hard braking or accelerating until you have regained
directional control.
Skidding or Sliding
WARNING
3
WARNING
Skidding or sliding improperly may cause you
to lose control of this ATV. You may also
regain traction unexpectedly, which may
cause the ATV to overturn.
Learn to safely control skidding by practicing
at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain.
Basic Operation & Riding
62
Riding Your ATV
The ATV’s ability to safely climb hills largely depends on the rider’s
skill and judgment. Begin by practicing on smooth, gentle slopes. As
you gain experience, you’ll learn the hazards and your own
limitations. You may then proceed to ride on more difficult terrain.
However, you must be able to decide which hills or hazards might
cause the ATV to overturn. Avoid excessively steep hills.
When climbing hills, you must shift weight toward the front wheels
to help keep them on the ground. To do this, shift your body slightly
forward on the seat and lean forward. For greater weight shift, move
your body farther forward and lean forward.
Riding Up Hills
WARNING

Basic Operation & Riding
64
Riding Your ATV
Stalling the ATV and/or Rolling Backwards:
If you incorrectly estimate climbing capability or terrain conditions,
the ATV may not have enough power or traction to continue uphill.
If this happens, the ATV can stall and/or roll backwards.
What to do if the ATV stalls or rolls backwards when climbing a hill:
If you are about to lose all forward speed:
1.
Using the front and rear brakes together, bring the ATV to a stop
with the vehicle pointed straight uphill.
2.
Get off the ATV while you continue holding the brakes.
3.
Shift into neutral, set the parking brake and turn the engine off.
4.
Then assess the situation.
If the ATV starts rolling backwards before you begin braking:
1.
Keep your weight uphill.
2.
Carefully apply the front brakes first, then carefully apply the rear
brake. Do not apply the rear brake only or abruptly if you are
rolling backwards, or the vehicle may overturn.
If the ATV continues sliding backwards:
After you’ve applied the brakes, get off and away from the vehicle.
WARNING

Riding Your ATV
What to do after the ATV has stalled or rolled backwards:
If the hill is too steep or too slippery, or if you have any doubt
whether you can safely walk the ATV back down the hill, leave the
vehicle where it is and get help. If possible, block the wheels so the
vehicle doesn’t roll backwards.
If the hill is not too steep and you have good footing, you may be
able to walk the ATV back down the hill. Make sure your intended
path is clear in case you lose control of the ATV.
1.
Stand with your body facing downhill, beside the vehicle so you
can reach the front brake lever with your left hand.
2.
Be sure your legs are clear of the wheels.
Check your footing.
3.
Slowly and carefully back the ATV down the hill using the front
brake lever to control speed.

When you’ve selected a safe downhill path, shift into a lower gear,
shift your weight back with your arms extended and braced against
the handlebar, then go down slowly with the throttle closed.
Use mainly the rear brake to control speed. Avoid using the front
brake hard or abruptly when riding down hills.
Remember, braking effectiveness is reduced on any hill with a loose
surface.
Riding on hills or slopes is different from riding on level terrain. Be
careful when riding on any hill. Make sure that you practice on
gentle, smooth slopes before attempting to ride on steeper or more
difficult terrain.
Crossing or Turning on Hills or Slopes
WARNING
3
WARNING
Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills

Crossing Hills or Slopes
• To maintain balance and stability when riding across a slope, you
need to shift weight toward the uphill side of the vehicle. To do
this, move your body off the center of the seat and lean toward
the uphill side.
• On a slippery or loose surface, you may also need to steer slightly
uphill to maintain a straight course across the slope.
• Avoid crossing hills that are excessively steep, slippery or rough.
Making Turns on Slopes
• Compared to riding on level ground, you may need to shift more
weight and lean more when making turns on slopes.
• Do not make turns on any slopes until you have first mastered the
techniques for making turns on level terrain.

Keeping an accurate maintenance record will help ensure that your
ATV is properly maintained. Retain detailed receipts to verify the
maintenance was performed. If the ATV is sold, these receipts should
be transferred with the ATV to the new owner. Make sure whoever
performs the maintenance completes this record. All scheduled
maintenance, including the 100 mile (150 km) or 20 hours initial
maintenance, is considered a normal owner operating cost and will
be charged for by your dealer. Use the space under Notes to record
anything you want to remind yourself about or mention to your
dealer.
