OWNER’S MANUAL
WELCOME
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.
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 scooter, other property, or the
environment.
When servicing 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 Service Manual to help you perform many maintenance and repair tasks.
Pleasant riding, and thank you for choosing a Honda!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
There is much that you can do to protect
yourself when you ride. You’ll find many
helpful recommendations throughout this
manual. The 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 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.
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of
scooter 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 safely.
SCOOTER SAFETY
2
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.
Keep Your Bike in Safe Conditions
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 5 for more details.
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 scooter.
4
Shoes should be close-fitting,
have low heels and offer ankle protection.
ALWAYS wear a helmet.
You should also wear
a face shield or goggles.
Wear bright
or reflective clothing.
Clothes should be close-fitting.
Wear gloves.

LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
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.
Loading
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.
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.
6
Load limits
Following are the load limits for your scooter:
Maximum weight capacity:
180 kg (397 lbs)
Includes the weight of the rider, passenger, all cargo and all accessories.
Maximum cargo weight:
19 kg (42 lbs)
The weight of added accessories will reduce the maximum cargo weight you can carry.
Putting too much weight in individual storage compartments can also affect stability and
handling. So be sure to stay within the limits given below:
Maximum weight:
in center compartment 10 kg (22 lbs)
in left compartment 0,5 kg (1.0 lbs)
shopping hook 1,5 kg (3.0 lbs)
rear carrier 3,0 kg (6.6 lbs)
Rear carrier:
weight limit:
3,0 kg (6.6 lbs)
Center compartment:
weight limit:
10 kg (22 lbs)
Left compartment:
weight limit:
0,5 kg (1.0 lbs)
Shopping hook:
weight limit:
1,5 kg (3.0 lbs)
7
Loading Guidelines
Your scooter is primarily intended for
transporting you and 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 8.
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.
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 (see
page 29).
To prevent loose items from creating a
hazard, make sure the left compartment
and the center compartment are 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.

Accessories and modifications
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.
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only
genuine Honda 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:
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 scooter’s electrical system
capacity (page 128). 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.
9
Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your
scooter. This scooter was not designed
for these attachments, and their use can
seriously impair your scooter’s handling.
Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any
original equipment or modify your scooter in
any way that would change its design or
operation. Such changes could seriously
impair your scooter’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 scooter illegal.
