As the brake pads wear. the brake nuid level will drop. A leak in the system will also cause lhe level to drop. Therefore, the brake nuid level and pad wear must be inspecled periodically. The system must be inspected frequently 10 ensure there are no nuid leaks. If lhe controlle\'er free travel becomes excessive and the brake pads are not worn beyond the recommended limit (page 84). there is probably air in the brake system and it must be bled. See your authorized Honda dealer for this service. Front Brake Fluid Level: With the motorcycle in an upright position. check the nuid level. It should be above the LOWER level mark (I). If the level is at Of below the LOWER level mark ( I ), check the brake pads for wear (page 84 ). Worn pad.~ sl\ould be replaced. If the pads are not worn. have your brake system inspected for ,""".

Use Pro HONDA HP coolant or an equivalenl high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion protection inhibitors specifically recommended fOf usc in aluminum engines. (SEE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINER LABEL). Use ollly low-millcral drinking water or distilled water as a part of the antifreeze solution. Water that is high in mineral content or sail may be harmful to the aluminum engine. INOnCE I Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may cause premature wear of water pump seals or blockage of radiator pa.~sagcs. Using tap water may cause engine damage. 24 The fac101')' provides a 50150 solution of antifrccl.c and distilled watcr in this motorcycle. This coolant solution is recommended for most opcrJting temperatures and provides good corrosion protection. A higher concentration of antifreeze decreases the cooling system performance and is recommended only when additional proteclion against frcei'jng is needed. A concentrntion of less than 40160 (40% antifrtt1'.e) will not provide proper corrosion protection. During freezing temperatures. check the cooling system frequently and add higher concentrJtions of antifreeze (up to a maximum of 60% antifreel.e) if required. Inspection The reserve tank is behind the radiator (4). Check the coolant level in the reserve tank while the engine is at normal operating tempcralUre. It should be between the UPPER ( I) and LOWER (2) level marks. If the coolant level begins to reach the LOWER level mark (2), add coolant to the UPPER level mark (I). Always add coolant to the reserve lank. 00 not attempt to add coolant by removing the radiator cap. If the reserve tank is empty, or if coolant loss is excessive. check for leaks and see your authorized Honda dealer for repair.

You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. • Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. • Refuel only outdoors. • Wipe up spills immediately. Ignition tcy Filler nect 27 Your engine is designed to use any gasoline that has a pump octane number of 86 or higher, Gasoline pumps at service stations nonnally display the pump octane number. We recommend that you use unleaded fuel because il produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of exhausl system components. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting din. dust or walcr in the fuel tank. Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause persistent "pinging" or heavy "spark knock" (a metallic rapping noise) which, if severe. can lead 10 engine damage. 28 INOTICE I If "spark knock" or "pinging" ocrurs at a steady engine speed under nonnalload, change brands of ga'iOlinc. If spark knock or pinging persists. consult your authorized Honda dealer. Failure to do so is considered misuse. and dam:tge caused by misuse is not covered by Hond:t's Limited WarrJnty. Occasionally you may experience light spark knock while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern. it simply means your engine is operating efricicntly. Oxygmaled '-uels Some: con\'entiooal gasolines are being blended with alcohol or an ether compound. 1besc gasolines are collcclively rderred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards. some are:IS of .he Unitcd St:llCS and Canada use oxygenated fuels \0 help reduce emissions. If you usc an oxygenated fuel. be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requiremenl. Before using an oxygenaled fuel, try to conl1rm the fuel's contents. Some: states! provinces require this information to be posted on the pump. The following are the EPA (The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency) approved percentages of o1{ygcnatcs: ETHANOL (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10 % by Volume: You may use gasoline conlaining up 10 10 % elhanol by volume. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name "Ga.whol", MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) 15 % by Volume: You may use gasoline containing up to 15 'J, MTBE by volume. METHANOL (mcthyl or wood alcohol) 5 % by Volume You may use gasoline containing up to 5 % methanol by volume: as long as it also contains cosoh'cnts and corrosion inhihitOfS to protOCI the fuel system. Gasoline containing II'JOI'e than 5 % methanol by volume may cause starting and/or perfomlance problems. It may also damage metal. rubber. and plastic pans of your fuel system. If you nmice any undesirable operating symptoms. try another service station or switch to another brand of gasoline. Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated foci containing more than the percentages of oxygenales me:nlioned abo\'e are no! co\'cred undcr"WarTallly. 29 ENGINE OIL Engine Oillenl Otcck S. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick. Check for oil kaks. Check the engine oil level each day before: oper.Iting the moIorcycie. [NonCE I Running the engine with insufficient oil pressure may cause serious engine damage. To check ttlc oil level: 1. Stan the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Make sure the low oil pressure indicator goes off. If the indicator remains on. stop the engine imnxdiately. 2. Stop the engine and hold the moIort)'cle in an upright position on finn. level ground. 3.

This motorcycle is equipped with :I side sland ignition cut-orr system. The engine cannot be started if the side stand is down, unless the transmission is in neutml. If the side stand is up. the engine can be started in neutroll or in gear with the clutch lever pulled in. After starting with the side .~tand down. the engine will stop if the transmission is put in gear before mising the side stand. Your motorcycle's exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. High levels of carbon monoxide can collect rolpidly in enclosed arca.~ such as a garolge. Do not run the engine with the garolge door closed. Even with the door open. run the engine only long enough to mOlle your motorcycle out of the garage. Do not use the electric starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. Rclea"C the starter bullon for approximately 10 seconds before pressing it again. Preparation Before starting. inscrtthe key. turn the ignition switch ON and confirm the following: • The transmission is in NEUTRAL (neutml indicator light ON). • The engine stop switch is at 0 RUN. • The low oil pressure indicator is ON. • The fuel lIalve is ON. The low oil pressure indicalor should go off a few seconds after the engine starts. If the light stays on. stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. [NOTlCEI Operating the engine with insufficient oil pressure can cause serious engine damage. 46 Starting Procedure To restart a warm engine, follow the procedure for "High Air Temperature".

Control of hydrocarbons is very imponant because under certain conditions. they react 10 fonn photochemical smog when subjccted to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way. but it is toxic. Honda MOlor Co.. Ltd. utili7.eS lean carburetor scHing.~ and other systems to n:duce carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Exhaust Emission Control System The exhaust emission control system is composed of lean carburetor scllings. and no adjustments should be madc except idle speed adjustment with the throllle SlOP screw. The c)(haust emission control system is separate from the crankcase emission control system. 107 Evaporative Emission Control System (California only) This motorcycle complies with the requirements of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) evaporative emission regulation.~. Fuel vapor from the fuel tank and carburetor is directed into the charcoal canister and air cleaner where it is adsorbed and stored while the engine is slOPped. When the engine is running and the purge control diaphragm valve is open. fuel vapor in the charcoal canister and air cleaner is drawn into the engine through the carburetor. Crankcase Emission Control System The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging crankca'lC emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas is returned to the combustion chamber through the air cleaner and the carburetor. Noise Emission Control System TAMPERING WITH THE NOISE CON"rnOL SYSTEM IS PROHIBITED: U.S. federal law prohibits. or Canadian provincial laws may prohibit the following acts or the causing thereof: (I) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person. other than for purposes of maintenance, repair. or replacement. of any device or clement of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use; or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or clement of design ha.~ been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. 108 AMONG THOSE ACTS PRESUMED TO CONSTITUTE TAMPERING ARE THE ACTS LISTED BELOW: I.
