Know these requirements before you ride: SAFE RIDING RULES l.Always make a pre-ride inspection (page34) before you start the engine. You may prevent an accident or equipmentdamage. 2.Many accidentsinvolve inexperienced riders. Most countriesrequire a special motorcycleriding test or license.Make gltrg-yquare qualilied before you ride. NEVER lend your motorcycie to an lnexperlenced rlder. 3.Many automobile/motorcycle accidents happenbecause the automobiledriver "see" doesnot the motorcyclist. Make yourself conspicriousto help avoid the accident that wasn't your f ault: ' briglt or reflectiveclothing. . W.".. D on't ride in another motoiist's "blind spot." 4.Obey all national and local laws and regulatlons. e Excessivespeedis a factor in manv g_cc!{g$s.Obey the speedlimits, anil NEVER trave[ faster-thanconditions warrant. . Signalbeforeyou make a turn or lane change.Your size and maneuverability can surpriseother motorists. 5.Don't let other motorists surprise vou. Use extra caution at intersectibns, parking lot entrancesand exits, and orlvewavs. 6.Keep bolh handson the handlebarsand both feet on the footpegswhile ridins. A passengershould-h-oldon to thle motorcycle or the operator with both hands and keep bbth feet on the passengerfootpegs. PROTECTIVE APPAREL 1.Most motorcycle accident fatalities are due to head injuries: ALWAYS wear a helmet. You should also wear a face shieldor gogglesas well as boots,gloves and protective clothing. A passenger needsthe sameprotection. 2. The exhaust system becomes hot during operation,and it remainshot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the exhaustsystem while it is hot. Wear clothing that fully coversyour legs. 3.Do not wear looseclothing which could catch on the control levers, footpegs, drive chain or wheels. MODIFICATIONS * Modif ication of the motorcycle, or removal of original equipment, may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obey all national and local equipment regulations. L( E 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. Never ride an accessory-equipped motorcycle at speeds above 13O km/h (8O mph). And remember that this 13O km/h (8O mph) limit may be reduced by installation of non-Honda accessories, improper loading, worn tyres and overall motorcycle condition, poor road or weather conditions. These general guidelines may help you decide whether or how to equip your motorcycle and how to load it safely. Loading The combined weight of the rider, passenger, cargo and additional accessories must not exceed the maximum weight capacity: 190 kg (419 lbs) Cargo weight alone should not exceed: 27 kg (60 lbs) 1. Keep cargo and accessory weight 1ow and close to the center of the motorcycle. Load weight equally on both sides to minimize imbalance. As weight is located further from the motorcycle's center of gravity, handling is proportionally affected. 2. Adjust tyre pressure (page24 ) and rear suspension (page 12 ) to suit load weight and riding conditions. 3. Vehicle handling and stability can be adversely affected by loose cargo. Recheck cargo security and accessory mountsfrequently. 4. Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a sleepingbag or tent) to the handlebars,fork, or fender. Unstable handling or slow steering responsemay result. Accessories Genuine Honda accessorieshave been specificallydesignedfor and testedon this motorcycle. Because the factory cannot t e s t a l l o t h e r a c c e s s o r i e s ,y o u a r e personallyresponsiblefor proper selection, installation, and use of non-Honda accessories. Always follow the guidelines under Loading,and these: 1. Carefully inspectthe accessoryto make sure it does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance and banking a n g l e , o r l i m i t s u s p e n s i o nt r a v e l , steeringtravel or control operation. 2.Large fork-mounted fairings or windshields, or poorly designed or improperly mounted f airings can produceaerodynamicforces that cause unstable handling. Do not install fairings that decreasecooling air flow to the engine. 3. Accessories which alter your riding position by moving hands or feet away from controls may increase reaction time in an emergency. 4. Do not add electrical equipment that will exceed the motorcycle's electrical system capacity. A blown fuse could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engme power. 5. This motorcycle was not designed to pull a sidecar or trailer. Handling may be seriously impaired if so equipped.

While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch lever and depress the gearshift pedal to shift into 1st (low) gear. 3.Slowly release the clutch lever and at the same time gradually increase engine speed by opening the throttle. Coordination of the throttle and clutch lever will assurea smooth positive start. l.When the motorcycle attains a moderate speed,close the throttle, pull in the clutch lever and shift to 2nd gear by raising the gearshift pedal. This sequence is repeated to progressively shift to 3rd, 4th and 5th (top) gears. 5. Coordinatethe throttle and brakes for smooth deceleration. 6. Both front and rear brakes should be used at the same time and should not be applied strongly enough to lock the wheel, or braking effectiveness will be reduced and control of the motorcvcle be difficult. W 39 * Do not downshift when traveling at a speed that would force the engine to overrev in the next lower gear; the rear wheel may lose traction, resulting in a possible loss of vehicle control. GAUTION: * Do not shift gears without disengaging the clutch and closing the throttle. The engkre and drive train could be damaged by overspeed and shock. * Do not tow the motorcycle or coast for long distances while the engine is off. The transmission will not be properly lubricated and damage may result. * Do not ride over a curb or rub the wheel against an obstacle, as wheel damage may result. 40 NOTE: * The battery will not charge while engine speedis near idle speed.A idling for prolongedperiods. .{.

Shr hra cloc mid Fhr the IE id : R^{KING lor normal braking, gradually apply :oth the front and rear brakes while :ownshifting to suit your road speed. - ior maximum deceleration,close the ,hrottle and apply the front and rear rrakes firmly. Pull in the clutch lever refore coming to a complete stop to 3reventstalling the engine. . Independent use of only the front or rear brake reduces stoppiag performance. Extreme braking may cause either wheel to lock, reducing control of the motorcycle. . When possible, reduce speed or tlrake before entering a turn; closing the throttle or braking in mid-turn may cause wheel slip. Wheel slip will reduce control of the motorcycle. * When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces, the ability to maneuver and stop will be reduced. All of your actions should be smooth under these conditions. Rapid acceleration, braking or turning may cause loss of control. For your safety, exercise extreme caution when braking, accelerating or turning. * 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. * Riding with your foot resting on the brake pedal or your hands on the brake lever may actuate the giving a false brakelight, indication to other drivers. It may also overheat the brake, reducing effectiveness. 41 !L P.TRKING 1.-d:rer stoppingthe motorcycle,shift the :ransmissioninto neutral, turn the fuel cock OFF, turn the handlebarfully to the left, turn the ignition switch OFF and removethe key. 2.Use the side or center stand to support the motorcyclewhile parked. CAUTION: * Park the motorcycle on f irm, level ground to prevent it from falling over. * If you must park on a slight incline, aim the front of the motorcycle uphill to reduce the possibility of roiling off the side stand or overturning. 3.Lock the steeringto help prevent theft (page30 ). ANTI.THEFT TIPS 1.Always lock the steering and never leave the key in the ignition switch. This soundssimplebut peopledo forget. 2. Be sure the registrationinformation for your motorcycle is accurate and current. 3. Park your motorcycle in a locked garagewheneverpossible. 4.Use an additionalanti-theft device of goodquality. 5. Put your name, address,and phone number in this Owner's Manual and keep it on your motorcyclesat all times. Many times stolen motorcycles are identified by information in the Owner's Manualsthat are still with them.
