OWNER’S MANUAL
WELCOME
The motorcycle presents you a challenge to master the machine, a challenge to adventure. You ride
through the wind, linked to the road by a vehicle that responds to your commands as no other does.
Unlike an automobile, there is no metal cage around you. Like an airplane, a pre-ride inspection and
regular maintenance are essential to your safety. Your reward is freedom.
To meet the challenges safely, and to enjoy the adventure fully, you should become thoroughly familiar
with this owner's manual BEFORE YOU RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE.
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 motorcycle, other property, or the
environment.
When service is required, remember that your Honda dealer knows your motorcycle best. If you have
the required mechanical “know-how” and tools, your dealer can supply you with an official Honda
Service Manual to help you perform many maintenance and repair tasks.
Pleasant riding, and thank you for choosing a Honda!

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your motorcycle can provide many years of
service and pleasure - if you take
responsibility for your own safety and
understand the challenges that you can meet
on the road.
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You’ll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Following are a few that we consider
most important.
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 and make sure your
passenger does the same. We also
recommend that you wear eye protection,
sturdy boots, gloves and other protective
gear (page 2).
Make Yourself Easy to See
Some drivers do not see motorcycles
because they are not looking for them. To
make yourself more visible, wear bright
reflective clothing, position yourself so other
drivers can see you, signal before turning or
changing lanes, and use your horn when it will
help others notice you.
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of
motorcycle accidents. Never ride beyond
your personal abilities or faster than
conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol,
drugs, fatigue and inattention can
significantly reduce your ability to make good
judgements and ride safety.
2
Keep Your Bike in Safe Condition
For safe riding, it’s important to inspect your
motorcycle before every ride and perform all
recommended maintenance. Never exceed
load limits, and only use accessories that have
been approved by Honda for this motorcycle.
See page 4 for more details.
Don’t drink and ride
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink
can reduce your ability to respond to changing
conditions, and your reaction time gets worse
with every additional drink. So don’t drink and
ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride
either.
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, we strongly recommend that
you always wear an approved motorcycle
helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long
pants and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket
whenever you ride. Although complete
protection is not possible, wearing proper gear
can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you choose
proper gear.
n
WARNING
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance
of serious injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger always
wear a helmet, eye protection and other
protective apparel when you ride.
3
Helmets and Eye Protection
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. A bright-coloured helmet can make
you more noticeable in traffic, as can
reflective strips.
An open-face helmet offers some protection
but a full-face helmet offers more. 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 boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
Leather gloves to keep your hands warm
and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and
bruises.
A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for
comfort as well as protection.
Bright-coloured and reflective clothing can
help make you more noticeable in traffic.
Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could
get caught on any part of your motorcycle.

LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
Your motorcycle has been designed to carry
you and one passenger. When you carry a
passenger, you may feel some difference
during acceleration and braking. But so long
as you keep your motorcycle well maintained,
with good tyres and brakes, you can safely
carry loads within the given limits and
guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit or
carrying an unbalanced load can seriously
affect your motorcycle's handling, braking and
stability. Non-Honda accessories, improper
modifications, and poor maintenance can also
reduce your safety margin.
The following pages give more specific
information on loading, accessories and
modifications.
Loading
How much weight you put on your motorcycle,
and how you load it, are important to your
safety. Anytime you ride with a passenger or
cargo you should be aware of the following
information.
n
WARNING
Overloading or improper loading can cause
a crash and you can be seriously hurt or
killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading
guidelines in this manual.
5
Load Limits
Following are the load limits for your
motorcycle:
Maximum weight capacity:
195 kg (430 lbs)
Includes the weight of the rider, passenger, all
cargo and all accessories.
Maximum cargo weight:
33 kg (73 lbs)
The weight of added accessories will reduce
the maximum cargo weight you can carry.
Loading Guidelines
Your motorcycle is primarily intended for
transporting you and a passenger. You may
wish to secure a jacket or other small items to
the seat when you are not riding with a
passenger.
If you wish to carry more cargo, check with
your Honda dealer for advice, and be sure to
read the information regarding accessories on
page 6.
Improperly loading your motorcycle can affect
its stability and handling. Even if your
motorcycle is properly loaded, you should ride
at reduced speeds and never exceed 130 km/h
(80 mph) when carrying cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a
passenger or cargo:
Check that both tyres are properly inflated.
If you change your normal load, you may
need to adjust the rear suspension (page
20).
To prevent loose items from creating a
hazard, make sure that all cargo is securely
tied down before you ride away.
Place cargo weight as close to the center of
the motorcycle as possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.

Accessories and Modifications
Modifying your motorcycle or using non-
Honda accessories can make your motorcycle
unsafe. Before you consider making any
modifications or adding an accessory, be sure
to read the following information.
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only
genuine Honda accessories that have been
specifically designed and tested for your
motorcycle. 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 and
banking angle, limit suspension travel or
steering travel, alter your riding position or
interfere with operating any controls.
• Be sure electrical equipment does not
exceed the motorcycle's electrical system
capacity (page 134). A blown fuse can
cause a loss of lights or engine power.
n
WARNING
Improper accessories or modifications can
cause a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s
manual regarding accessories and
modifications.
7
Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your
motorcycle. This motorcycle was not
designed for these attachments and their
use can seriously impair your motorcycle’s
handling.
Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any
original equipment or modify your motorcycle
in any way that would change its design or
operation. Such changes could seriously
impair your motorcycle's handling, stability
and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
Removing or modifying your lights, mufflers,
emission control system or other equipment
can also make your motorcycle illegal.
