Riding PrecautionsRunning-in Period

During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,follow these guidelines to ensure yourmotorcycle's future reliability and performance.● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid

acceleration.● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.● Ride conservatively.

BrakesObserve the following guidelines:● Avoid excessively hard braking and

downshifting.u Sudden braking can reduce the

motorcycle's stability.u Where possible, reduce speed before

turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.

u The tyres slip more easily on suchsurfaces and braking distances arelonger.

● Avoid continuous braking.u Repeated braking, such as when

descending long, steep slopes canseriously overheat the brakes, reducingtheir effectiveness. Use engine brakingwith intermittent use of the brakes toreduce speed.

● For full braking effectiveness, operate boththe front and rear brakes together.


Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety

12

# Combi BrakeYour motorcycle is equipped with a brakesystem that distributes the braking forcebetween the front and rear brakes.The distribution of the braking force applied tothe front and rear brakes when operating thelever only and when operating the pedal only isdifferent.For full braking effectiveness, operate both thefront and rear brakes together.

# Engine BrakingEngine braking helps slow your motorcycledown when you release the throttle. For furtherslowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Useengine braking with intermittent use of thebrakes to reduce speed when descending long,steep slopes.

# Wet or Rainy ConditionsRoad surfaces are slippery when wet, and wetbrakes further reduce braking efficiency.Exercise extra caution when braking in wetconditions.If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes whileriding at low speed to help them dry.


Riding PrecautionsM

otorcycle Safety

13Continued

Parking● Park on a firm, level surface.● If you must park on a slight incline or loose

surface, park so that the motorcycle cannotmove or fall over.

● Make sure that high-temperature partscannot come into contact with flammablematerials.

● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakesand other high-temperature parts until theycool down.

● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lockthe handlebar and remove the key whenleaving the motorcycle unattended.Use of an anti-theft device is alsorecommended.

# Parking with the Side Stand or Centre Stand1. Stop the engine.2. Using the side stand

Push the side stand down.

If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have anelectrical fault. Have your motorcycle inspectedby your dealer.

Engine OilEngine oil consumption varies and oil qualitydeteriorates according to riding conditions andtime elapsed.Check the engine oil level regularly, and add therecommended engine oil if necessary. Dirty oil orold oil should be changed as soon as possible.

# Selecting the Engine OilFor recommended engine oil, see“Specifications.” 2 P. 113

If you use non-Honda engine oil, check thelabel to make sure that the oil satisfies all of thefollowing standards:● JASO T 903 standard*1: MA● SAE standard*2: 10W-30● API classification*3: SG or higher

*1. The JASO T 903 standard is an index for engineoils for 4-stroke motorcycle engines. There aretwo classes: MA and MB. For example, thefollowing label shows the MA classification.

*2. The SAE standard grades oils by their viscosity.*3. The API classification specifies the quality and

performance rating of engine oils. Use SG orhigher oils, excluding oils marked as “EnergyConserving” or “Resource Conserving” on thecircular API service symbol.
