OWNER’S MANUAL

The scooter 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 SCOOTER.
Asyoureadthismanual,youwillfindinformationthatisprecededbya symbol.This
information is intended to help you avoid damage to your scooter, other property, or the
environment.
When service is required, remember that your Honda dealer knows your scooter best. If you
have the required mechanical ‘‘know-how’’ and tools, your dealer can supply you with an
Official Honda Shop Manual to help you perform many maintenance and repair tasks.
Pleasant riding, and thank you for choosing a Honda !

Thereismuchthatyoucandotoprotect
yourself when you ride. You’ll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. Following are a few that we
consider to be most important.
Your scooter 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.
Some drivers do not see scooters 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.
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 ).
Pushing the limits is another major cause of
scooter crashes. 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 safely.

SCOOTER SAFETY

10/02/17 16:51:06 32KWN600_011
Foryoursafety,westronglyrecommend
that you always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots,
gloves, trousers, 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.
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.
For safe riding, it’s important to inspect
your scooter before every ride and perform
all recommended maintenance. Never
exceed load limits, and only use accessories
that have been approved by Honda for this
scooter. See page for more details.5
PROTECTIVE APPARELDon’t Drink and Ride
Keep Your Bike in Safe Condition

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.
10/02/17 16:51:12 32KWN600_012
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.
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
comfortaswellasprotection.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 scooter.

Your scooter has been designed to carry
you, one passenger and a limited amount of
cargo. When you add cargo or carry a
passenger, you may feel some difference
during acceleration and braking. But so long
as you keep your scooter 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 scooter’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.
How much weight you put on your scooter,
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.

Follow these guidelines whenever you carry
a passenger or cargo:
Check that both tyres are properly
inflated (page ).
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 .
Improperly loading your scooter can affect
its stability and handling. Even if your
scooter is properly loaded, you should ride
at reduced speeds whenever carrying cargo.
To prevent loose items from creating a
hazard,makesurethecenter
compartment, glove box is closed and
that any other cargo is securely tied down
before you ride away.
Place cargo weight as close to the center
of the scooter as possible.
Balance cargo weight evenly on both
sides.
Your scooter 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.

Loading Guidelines

10/02/17 16:51:42 32KWN600_017
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.
Modifying your scooter or using non-Honda
accessories can make your scooter 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
scooter. 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:
Be sure electrical equipment does not
exceed the scooter’s electrical system
capacity (page ). A blown fuse can
cause a loss of lights or engine power.
