A Few Words About Safety
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very
important. Operating this vehicle safely is an
important responsibility.
To help you make informed decisions about
safety, we have provided operating
procedures and other information on safety
labels and in this manual. This information
alerts you to potential hazards that could
hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to
warn you about all hazards associated with
operating or maintaining a vehicle. You must
use your own good judgement.
You will find important safety information in a
variety of forms, including:
●Safety labels on the vehicle
●
Safety Messages preceded by a safety alert
symbol and one of three signal words:
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:
3DANGER
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY
HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
3WARNING
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY
HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
3CAUTION
You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow
instructions.
Other important information is
provided under the following titles:

Vehicle Safety
Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety:
●Perform all routine and regular inspections
specified in this manual.
●Stop the engine and keep sparks and flames
away before filling the fuel tank.
●Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly
enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in
exhaust gases is toxic and can kill you.
Always Wear a Helmet
It's a proven fact: helmets and protective
apparel significantly reduce the number and
severity of head and other injuries. So always
wear an approved helmet and protective
apparel. P. 72
Before Riding
Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally
focused, and free of alcohol and drugs. Check
that you and your passenger are both wearing
an approved helmet and protective apparel.
Instruct your passenger on holding onto the
grab rails or your waist, leaning with you in
turns, and keeping their feet on the footpegs,
even when the vehicle is stopped.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other vehicles, practice
riding in a safe area to become familiar with
how this vehicle works and handles, and to
become accustomed to the vehicle's size and
weight.
Ride Defensively
Always pay attention to other vehicles around
you, and do not assume that other drivers see
you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an
evasive maneuver.
Safety Guidelines

Continued
Make Yourself Easy to See
Make yourself more visible, especially at night,
by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioning
yourself so other drivers can see you, signaling
before turning or changing lanes, and using
your horn when necessary.
Be Alert for Off-road Hazards
The terrain can be 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.
Ride within Your Limits
Never ride beyond your personal abilities or
faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and
inattention can impair your ability to use good
judgement and ride safely.
Don't Drink or Use Drugs and Ride
Alcohol or drugs and riding don't mix. Even one
alcoholic drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions, and your
reaction time gets worse with every additional
drink. The same is true for drug use. Don't drink
or use and ride, and don't let your friends do it
either.
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It's important to keep your vehicle properly
maintained and in safe riding condition.
Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially
if you are stranded off-road far from your base.
Inspect your vehicle before every ride and
perform all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits ( P. 13), and do not modify2
your vehicle or install accessories that would
make your vehicle unsafe ( P. 11).2

If You are Involved in a Crash
Personal safety is your first priority. If you or
anyone else has been injured, take time to
assess the severity of the injuries and whether it
is safe to continue riding. Call for emergency
assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws
and regulations if another person or vehicle is
involved in the crash.
If you decide to continue riding, first turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position, and evaluate
the condition of your vehicle. Inspect for fluid
leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and
bolts, and check the handlebar, control levers,
brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously.
Your vehicle may have suffered damage that is
not immediately apparent. Have your vehicle
thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility
as soon as possible.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a
colourless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death.
If you run the engine in a confined or even
partly enclosed area, the air you breathe could
contain a dangerous amount of carbon
monoxide.
Never run your vehicle inside a garage or other
enclosure.
3WARNING
Running the engine of your vehicle
while in an enclosed or even partially
enclosed area can cause a rapid build-
up of toxic carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing this colourless, odorless gas
can quickly cause unconsciousness and
lead to death.
Only run your vehicle's engine when it
is located in a well ventilated area
outdoors.

Safety Precautions
●Ride cautiously and keep your hands on the
handlebar and feet on the footpegs.
●Instruct your passenger to keep their hands
on the grab rails or your waist and their feet
on the footpegs while riding.
●Always consider the safety of your
passenger, as well as other drivers and
riders.
Protective Apparel
Make sure that you and any passenger are
wearing an approved helmet, eye protection,
and high-visibility protective clothing. Avoid
wearing loose clothes that could get caught on
any part of the vehicle. Ride defensively in
response to weather and road conditions.
#
Helmet
Safety-standard certified, high-visibility, correct
size for your head
●Must fit comfortably but securely, with the
chin strap fastened
●Face shield with unobstructed field of vision
or other approved eye protection
3WARNING
Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a
crash.
Make sure that you and any passenger
always wear an approved helmet and
protective apparel.

#
Gloves
Full-finger leather gloves with high abrasion
resistance
#
Boots or Riding Shoes
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles and ankle
protection
#
Jacket and Trousers
Protective, highly visible, long-sleeved jacket
and durable trousers for riding (or a protective
suit)
#
Additional Off-road Gear
On-road apparel may also be suitable for casual
off-road riding. But if you plan on any serious
off-road riding you will need more serious off-
road gear. In addition to your helmet and eye
protection, we recommend off-road motorcycle
boots and gloves, riding pants with knee and
hip pads, a jersey with elbow pads, and a chest/
shoulder protector.
Riding Precautions
Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your vehicle's
future reliability and performance.
●Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
●Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
●Ride conservatively.
Riding Precautions
Vehicle Safety
8
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
●Avoid excessively hard braking and
downshifting.
uSudden braking can reduce the vehicle's
stability.
uWhere possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
●Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
uThe tyres slip more easily on such
surfaces and braking distances are
longer.
●Avoid continuous braking.
uRepeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
●For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.
#
Engine Braking
Engine braking helps slow your vehicle down
when you release the throttle. For further
slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use
engine braking with intermittent use of the
brakes to reduce speed when descending long,
steep slopes.
#
Wet or Rainy Conditions
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet
brakes further reduce braking efficiency.
Exercise extra caution when braking in wet
conditions.
If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while
riding at low speed to help them dry.
Riding Precautions
Vehicle Safety

Continued
Parking
●Park on a firm, level surface.
●If you must park on a slight incline or loose
surface, park so that the vehicle cannot
move or fall over.
●Make sure that high-temperature parts
cannot come into contact with flammable
materials.
●Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes
and other high-temperature parts until they
cool down.
●To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebar and remove the key when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.
#
Parking with the Side Stand
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Push the side stand down.
3.
Slowly lean the vehicle to the left until its
weight rests on the side stand.
4.
Turn the handlebar fully to the left.
uTurning the handlebar to the right
reduces stability and may cause the
vehicle to fall.
5.
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position and remove the key. P. 242
6.
Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
Refuelling and Fuel Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to protect the engine,
fuel system and catalytic converter:
●Use only unleaded petrol.
●Use the recommended octane number.
Using lower octane petrol will result in
decreased engine performance.
●Do not use fuels containing a high
concentration of alcohol. P. 872
●Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or
an oil/petrol mixture.
●Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Fuses
Fuses protect the electrical circuits on your
vehicle. If something electrical on your vehicle
stops working, check for and replace any blown
fuses. P. 752
#
Inspecting and Replacing Fuses
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to
remove and inspect fuses. If a fuse is blown,
replace with a fuse of the same rating. For fuse
ratings, see “Specifications.” P. 912
NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher
rating greatly increases the chance of damage to
the electrical system.
If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an
electrical fault. Have your vehicle inspected by
your dealer.
Engine Oil
Engine oil consumption varies and oil quality
deteriorates according to riding conditions and
time elapsed.
Check the engine oil level regularly, and add the
recommended engine oil if necessary. Dirty oil or
old oil should be changed as soon as possible.
#
Selecting the Engine Oil
For recommended engine oil, see
“Specifications.” P. 902
If you use non-Honda engine oil, check the
label to make sure that the oil satisfies all of the

become contaminated with engine oil, causing
poor engine performance.
Tyres (Inspecting/Replacing)
#
Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tyres and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure
before each off-road ride and whenever you
return to pavement after riding off-road. If you
only ride on pavement, check the pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tyres look low. Always check air pressure when
your tyres are cold.
If you decide to adjust the tyre pressure for a
particular off-road riding condition, make
changes a little at a time.

Tyre Puncture
Repairing a puncture or removing a wheel
requires special tools and technical expertise.
We recommend you have this type of service
performed by your dealer.
After an emergency repair, always have the
tyre inspected/replaced by your dealer.
Tube Repair and Replacement
If a tube is punctured or damaged, you
should replace it as soon as possible. A tube
that is repaired may not have the same
reliability as a new one, and it may fail while
you are riding.
If you need to make a temporary repair by
patching a tube or using an aerosol sealant,
ride cautiously at reduced speed and have
the tube replaced before you ride again.
Anytime a tube is replaced, the tyre should
be carefully inspected as described.
3WARNING
Riding your vehicle with a temporary
tyre or tube repair can be risky. If the
temporary repair fails, you can crash
and be seriously injured or killed.
If you must ride with a temporary tyre
or tube repair, ride slowly and carefully
and do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph)
until the tyre or tube is replaced.

Caring for Your Vehicle
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean vehicle
makes it easier to spot potential problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of
corrosion. Always wash your vehicle thoroughly
after riding on coastal or treated roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
1.
Rinse your vehicle thoroughly using a low
pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.
2.
If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel
with mild cleaner to remove road grime.
uClean the headlight lens, panels, and
other plastic components with extra care
to avoid scratching them. Avoid directing
water into the air cleaner, muffler, and
electrical parts.
3.
Thoroughly rinse your vehicle with plenty of
clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
4.
After the vehicle dries, lubricate any moving
parts.
uMake sure that no lubricant spills onto
the brakes or tyres. Brake discs, pads,
drum or shoes contaminated with oil will
suffer greatly reduced braking
effectiveness and can lead to a crash.
5.
Lubricate the drive chain immediately after
washing and drying the vehicle.
6.
Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
uAvoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents. These
can damage the metal, paint, and plastic
on your vehicle.
Keep the wax clear of the tyres and
brakes.
uIf your vehicle has any mat painted parts,
do not apply a coat of wax to the mat
painted surface.

Washing Precautions
Follow these guidelines when washing:
●Do not use high-pressure washers:
uHigh-pressure water cleaners can
damage moving parts and electrical
parts, rendering them inoperable.
uWater in the air intake can be drawn into
the carburetor and/or enter the air
cleaner.
●Do not direct water at the muffler:
uWater in the muffler can prevent starting
and causes rust in the muffler.
●Dry the brakes:
uWater adversely affects braking
effectiveness. After washing, apply the
brakes intermittently at low speed to
help dry them.
●Do not direct water reverse side of the right
side cover:
uWater in the reverse side of the right
side cover compartment can damage
your documents.
●Do not direct water at the air cleaner:
uWater in the air cleaner can prevent the
engine from starting.
●Do not direct water near the headlight:
uThe headlight's inside lens may fog
temporarily after washing or while riding
in the rain. This does not impact the
headlight function.
uAny condensation inside the headlight
should dissipate after a few minutes of
running the engine with the headlight(s)
on.
However, if you see a large amount of
water or ice accumulated inside the
lens(es), have your vehicle inspected by
your dealer.
●Do not use wax or polishing compounds on
mat painted surfaces:
uUse a soft cloth or sponge, plenty of
water, and a mild detergent to clean mat
painted surfaces. Dry with a soft clean
cloth.

flatbed truck or trailer that has a loading ramp

You & the Environment
Owning and riding a vehicle can be enjoyable,
but you must do your part to protect the
environment.
Choose Sensible Cleaners
Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash
your vehicle. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that
contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which
damage the atmosphere's protective ozone
layer.
Recycle Wastes
Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved
containers and take them to a recycling centre.
Call your local or state office of public works or
environmental services to find a recycling centre
in your area and to get instructions on how to
dispose of non-recyclable wastes. Do not place
used engine oil in the trash or pour it down a
drain or on the ground. Used oil, petrol, and
cleaning solvents contain poisons that can hurt
refuse workers and contaminate drinking water,
lakes, rivers, and oceans.
