You andYour Motorcycle: Riding Tips andPractice Guide,

The most frequent scooter collisionhappens when a car turns left in front of ascooter. Another common situation is a carmoving suddenly into your lane.

Always pay attention to other vehiclesaround you, and do not assume that otherdrivers see you. Be prepared to stopquickly or make an evasive maneuver. Forother riding tips, see the booklet,

Some drivers do not see scooters becausethey are not looking for them. To makeyourself more visible, wear brightreflective clothing, position yourself soother drivers can see you, signal beforeturning or changing lanes, and use yourhorn when it will help others notice you.

Even if you have ridden other scooters,take time to become familiar with howthis scooter works and handles. Practice ina safe area until you build your skills andget accustomed to the scooter’s size andweight.

Because many accidents involveinexperienced or untrained riders, we urgeall riders to take a certified courseapproved by the Motorcycle SafetyFoundation (MSF). See page .38

Braking


Applying the brakes too hard may causethe wheels to lock and slide, reducingcontrol of your scooter. If this happens,release the brake controls, steer straightahead until you regain control, thenreapply the brakes more gently.

To slow or stop, apply the front and rearbrake levers smoothly.

Gradually increase braking as you feel thebrakes slowing your speed.

For support, before coming to a completestop, put your left foot down first, thenyour right foot down.

Your scooter is equipped with a CombinedBraking System. Operating the front brakelever applies the front brake. Operatingthe rear brake lever applies the rear brakeand a portion of the front brake. For fullbraking effectiveness, use the front andrear brake levers simultaneously.

This model is also equipped with an Anti-Lock Brake System (page ).

This model is not equipped with an Anti-Lock Brake System. As with aconventional scooter braking system,excessively hard application of the brakecontrols may cause wheel lock, reducingcontrol of the scooter.

04/09/27 21:39:42 31MCT630_077

69

Braking


Your ability to brake in a turn and to brakehard in an emergency situation areimportant riding skills. We suggestattending a Motorcycle Safety Foundationexperienced rider training course(page ) to retain these skills.

When possible, reduce your speed orcomplete braking before entering a turn.Avoid braking or closing the throttlequickly while turning. Either action maycause one or both wheels to slip andreduce your control of your scooter.

When riding in wet or rainy conditions, oron loose surfaces, the ability to maneuverand stop will be reduced. All of youractions should be smooth under theseconditions. Rapid acceleration, braking orturning may cause loss of control. For

your safety, exercise extreme cautionwhen braking, accelerating or turning.

When descending a long, steep grade,use both brakes intermittently.Continuous brake application canoverheat the brakes and reduce theireffectiveness.

Riding with your hand on either brakelever may actuate the brakelight, givinga false indication to other drivers. Itmay also overheat the brakes, reducingeffectiveness.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

Braking


This model is also equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) designed to helpprevent wheel lock up during hard brakingon uneven or other poor surfaces whilerunning straight. Although the wheel maynot lock up if you are braking too hardin a turn the scooter can still lose traction,causing a loss of control.

In some situations, a scooter with ABSmay require a longer stopping distance tostop on loose or uneven surfaces than anequivalent scooter without ABS.

ABS cannot make up for road conditions,bad judgment, or improper operation of

the brakes. It is still your responsibility toride at reasonable speeds for weather, roadsurface, and traffic conditions, and toleave a margin of safety.

ABS may be activated by riding over asharp drop or rise in the road level.It is important to follow the tirerecommendations (page ). The ABScomputer works by comparing wheelspeed. Non-recommended tires can affectwheel speed and may confuse the ABScomputer.

ABS does not function if the battery isdischarged.

ABS is self-checking and always on.

ABS does not function at low speeds(approximately 6 mph (10km/h) or below).

Normally, this light comes on when theignition is turned ON, and goes off afteryou ride the scooter at speed above 6 mph(10 km/h). If there is an ABS problem, theindicator light comes on and remains on.The ABS system does not operate whenthe ABS indicator light is on.

If the ABS indicator light comes on whileriding, stop the scooter in a safe place andturn off the engine.

Turn the ignition ON again. The lightshould come on, and go off after you ridethe scooter at speeds above 6 mph(10 km/h). If it does not go off, ABS isnot functioning, but the brakes still workthe Combined Brake System and providenormal stopping ability. However, youshould have the system checked by Hondadealer as soon as possible.

The ABS indicator light may come on ifyou turn the rear wheel at high speed formore than 30 seconds while the scooter isupright on the stand. This is normal. Turnthe ignition OFF, then turn it ON. Theindicator should come on, then go offafter you run the scooter above 19 mph(30 km/h).

The Importance of Maintenance


Keeping your scooter well-maintained isabsolutely essential to your safety. It’salso a good way to protect yourinvestment, get maximum performance,avoid breakdowns, and have more fun. Aproperly maintained scooter will also helpto reduce air pollution.

Remember, proper maintenance is theowner’s responsibility. Be sure to inspectyour scooter before each ride, perform theperiodic checks, and follow theMaintenance Schedule in this section.

If your scooter overturns or is involved ina crash, be sure your Honda dealerinspects all major parts, even if you areable to make some repairs.

04/09/27 21:41:16 31MCT630_089

Failure to properly followmaintenance instructions andprecautions can cause you to beseriously hurt or killed.

Always follow the procedures andprecautions in this owner’smanual.

81

Maintenance Safety


Other tasks that are more difficult andrequire special tools are best performed byprofessionals. Wheel removal shouldnormally be handled only by a Hondatechnician or other qualified mechanic.Instructions are included in this manualonly to assist in emergency service.

Some of the most important safetyprecautions follow. However, we cannotwarn you of every conceivable hazard thatcan arise in performing maintenance. Onlyyou can decide whether or not you shouldperform a given task.

This section includes instructions on howto perform some important maintenancetasks. If you have basic mechanical skills,you can perform many of these tasks withthe tools provided with your scooter.

Important Safety Precautions

Maintenance Safety


Carbon monoxide poisoning fromengine exhaust.

Burns from hot scooter parts.

Injury from moving parts.

Read the instructions before you begin,and make sure you have the tools andskills required.

Make sure the engine is off before youbegin any maintenance or repairs. Thiswill help eliminate several potentialhazards:

Be sure there isadequate ventilation whenever youoperate the engine.

Let theengine and exhaust system cool beforetouching.

Do not runthe engine unless instructed to do so.

To help prevent the scooter from fallingover, park it on a firm, level surface,using the side stand or a maintenancestand to provide support.

To reduce the possibility of a fire orexplosion, be careful when workingaround gasoline. Use onlynon-flammable solvent, not gasoline, toclean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, andflames away from all fuel-related parts.

Be sure the rear brake lock is set beforerunning the engine while the scooter issupported by the center stand. This willprevent the rear wheel from spinningand avoid the possibility of someonebeing injured from contacting the wheel.

Fuel Recommendation

Fuel



We recommend that you use unleaded fuelbecause it produces fewer engine depositsand extends the life of exhaust systemcomponents.

Your engine is designed to use anygasoline that has a pump octane number of86 or higher. Gasoline pumps at servicestations normally display the pump octanenumber. For information on the use ofoxygenated fuels, see page .

The use of leaded gas will damage thecatalytic converter.

04/09/27 21:44:04 31MCT630_113

105

Fuel


Use of lower octane gasoline can causepersistent ‘‘pinging’’ or ‘‘spark knock’’ (aloud rapping noise) which, if severe, canlead to engine damage. Light pingingexperienced while operating under a heavyload, such as climbing a hill, is no causefor concern.

If pinging or spark knock occurs at asteady engine speed under normal load,change brands of gasoline. If pinging orspark knock persists, consult your Hondadealer.

Never use stale or contaminated gasolineor an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid gettingdirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank.

Engine Oil, Filter & Strainer Screen

Engine oil quality is a major factor thataffects both the performance and theservice life of the engine.

Change the engine oil as specified in themaintenance schedule on page .

When running in very dusty conditions, oilchanges should be performed morefrequently than specified in themaintenance schedule.

Using the proper oil (page ) and filter,and regularly checking, adding, andchanging oil will help extend yourengine’s life. Even the best oil wears out.Changing oil helps get rid of dirt anddeposits in the engine. Operating theengine with old or dirty oil can damageyour engine.

Coolant Recommendation

Coolant


Using coolant with silicate inhibitors maycause premature wear of water pumpseals or blockage of radiator passages.Using tap water may cause enginedamage.

Maintaining the coolant will allow thecooling system to work properly andprevent freezing, overheating, andcorrosion.

Use Pro Honda HP coolant or anequivalent high quality ethylene glycolantifreeze containing corrosion protectioninhibitors specifically recommended foruse in aluminum engines. Check theantifreeze container label.

Use only distilled water as a part of thecoolant solution. Water that is high inmineral content or salt may be harmful tothe aluminum engine.

Your scooter’s liquid cooling systemdissipates engine heat through the coolantjacket that surrounds the cylinder andcylinder head.

The factory provides a 50/50 solution ofantifreeze and water in this scooter. Thiscoolant solution is recommended for mostoperating temperatures and provides goodcorrosion protection.

Checking & Adding Coolant

Coolant



Decreasing the concentration of antifreezeto less than 40% will not provide propercorrosion protection.

Increasing the concentration of antifreezeis not recommended because it decreasescooling system performance. Higherconcentrations of antifreeze (up to 60%)should only be used to provide additionalprotection against freezing. Check thecooling system frequently during freezingweather.

The spring pre-load for your rearsuspension system adjusts the amount offorce required to begin compression of thespring.

Consider adjusting your rear suspensionpre-load whenever you change yournormal load, by adding or subtracting apassenger, cargo, or accessories, or whenthe road or riding conditions change.

The way you ride your scooter and thetype of ride you want to experience canalso influence your suspension needs.

Lower spring pre-load provides a softerride and is usually preferred for light loadsand smooth roads. Higher spring pre-loadprovides a firmer ride and isrecommended for heavy loads, rough roadconditions, and faster, more challengingriding.

Brakes


As the brake pads wear, the brake fluidlevel will drop. A leak in the system willalso cause the level to drop.

Frequently inspect the system to ensurethere are no fluid leaks. Periodicallyinspect the brake fluid level and the brakepads for wear.

If the brake lever freeplay does not feelwithin the normal range while riding,check the brake pads for wear (page ).Worn pads should be replaced. If the padsare not worn beyond the recommendedlimit, there is probably air in the brakesystem. See your Honda dealer to have theair bled from the system.

The hydraulic braking systems on yourscooter dissipate the heat generated by thefriction of the brake pads on the brakediscs as the wheels are slowed.

Saf ety Precautions

To safely operate your scooter, your tiresmust be the proper type and size, in goodcondition with adequate tread, andcorrectly inflated for the load you arecarrying.

The following pages give detailedinformation on how and when to check

your air pressure, how to inspect your tiresfor wear and damage, and ourrecommendations for tire repair andreplacement.

Refer to on page .

Properly inflated tires provide the bestcombination of handling, tread life, andriding comfort. Generally, underinflatedtires wear unevenly, adversely affecthandling, and are more likely to fail frombeing overheated. Overinflated tires makeyour scooter ride more harshly, are moreprone to damage from road hazards, andwear unevenly.

Tires


We recommend that you visually checkyour tires before every ride and use an airpressure gauge to measure the air pressureat least once a month or any time youthink the tires might be low. Even tiresthat are in good condition may lose one totwo psi per month if not checked andadjusted regularly.

Tubeless tires have some degree of self-sealing ability if they are punctured.However, because leakage is often veryslow, you should look closely forpunctures whenever a tire is not fullyinflated.

The recommended ‘‘cold’’ tire pressuresare:

Always check air pressure when your tiresare ‘‘cold’’ –– after the scooter has beenparked for at least three hours. If youcheck air pressure when your tires are‘‘warm’’ –– even if your scooter has onlybeen ridden for a few miles –– the

readings will be higher. If you let air outof warm tires to match the recommendedcold pressures, the tires will beunderinflated.

If You Have a Flat Tire,

For the best performance, you shouldreplace a tire before the tread depth at thecenter reaches the following limits:

We strongly recommend that you replace,not repair, any tire that is punctured ordamaged. As discussed below, a tire that isrepaired, either temporarily orpermanently, will have lower speed andperformance limits than a new orundamaged tire.

If the wear indicators are visible, replacethe tire immediately as it is no longer safe.

Refer to on page .

A temporary repair can sometimes bemade in an emergency situation.However, since a temporary repair maynot hold, you must ride very slowly,preferably without any cargo or passenger,and have the tire replaced or permanentlyrepaired as soon as possible.(For more information on temporaryrepairs, see page

If You Have a Flat Tire


A flat tire is always unwelcome,especially if you are far from help. If youthink you are losing air, or you hit apothole or hard object, pull safely to theside of the road so you can inspect thetires and assess the situation. (Be sure topark on a firm, level surface and use thecenter stand for support.) You shouldexamine the tire treads and sidewalls forforeign objects or damage. If you find atire that has been punctured or damaged,you have two options.

Option 1:Have Your Scooter TransportedIf a tire has a major puncture or a cut inthe tread or sidewall, or the bead has comeloose from the rim, there is probably notmuch you can do except have your scootertransported to a Honda dealer or other

qualified service facility. (USA only: Forinformation about 24-hour emergencyroadside assistance, see page .) Evenwith a simple puncture, this may be thesafest and least troublesome solution. Fortransporting instructions, see page .

Option 2:Make a Temporary Roadside RepairIf a tire has only a minor nail puncture andis not completely flat, you may be able tomake an emergency repair that couldallow you to continue riding to where youcan get the tire replaced or permanentlyrepaired.

119

167

04/09/27 21:53:22 31MCT630_185

Riding your scooter with atemporary tire repair can be risky.If the temporary repair fails, youcan crash and be seriously injuredor killed.

If you must ride with a temporarytire repair, ride slowly andcarefully and do not exceed 30mph (50 km/h) until the tire ispermanently repaired or replaced.

177

Types of Temporary Repairs



Due to the uncertainty of any temporaryrepair, you should ride slowly (not over 30mph, 50 km/h) and carefully (preferablywithout a passenger or cargo) until the tireis replaced or permanently repaired. Stop

frequently and check the air pressure. Ifthe tire is losing pressure, it may be unsafeto continue riding. As the tire gets low, itwill affect the handling of your scooter(especially with a passenger and cargo)and it may overheat and blow out.

The following types of temporary repairsgenerally require a source of air to inflatethe tire. Possible sources include COcartridges or cans of compressed airdesigned to inflate a tire.

Should You Repair or Replace aTire?



Inflate the tire:

Plug the hole:

Tubeless tires havesome self-sealing ability if they arepunctured and the result is usually just aslow leak. If this is the case, you can tryinflating the tire to see if it will hold airpressure. If you can see a nail or otherobject embedded in the tire tread, do notremove it at this time.

The idea here is to dosomething to temporarily stop the leak.If you have a tubeless tire repair kit,you can pull out the nail and tryinserting an external plug in thepuncture. Follow the instructions thatcame with the repair kit and be sure toinflate the tire to the correct pressure.

We strongly recommend that you replace,not permanently repair, any tire that ispunctured or damaged, even if the tire hasonly a minor puncture. For a fulldiscussion of repairs and replacement, seepage .145

If Your Engine Overheats


Continuing to ride with an overheatedengine can cause serious engine damage.

A steaming engine indicates a coolantleak. Shut the engine off and wait untilthe steaming stops. Look for a leak, butdon’t touch the engine or radiatorsystem. Let everything cool off first.

Normally, the coolant temperature on yourtemperature meter will rise and then leveloff. Hot weather may cause thetemperature to rise higher than normal. Sowill temporary stress such as climbing ahill. If you’re stuck in stop-and-go traffic,the temperature may climb some, but theradiator fan is designed to preventoverheating. Be aware of these variationsas you monitor the meter.

If there’s no obvious problem, leave theengine on so the fan and coolantcirculating system can continueworking. Monitor the temperature meter.The temperature may drop to thenormal range after a brief stop with noload on the engine.

If the coolant temperature indicator comeson, and the coolant temperature meterdisplays five segments for no apparentreason, pull safely to the side of the road.If possible, park in a shady area.

04/09/27 21:53:46 31MCT630_189

181

If Your Engine Overheats


Check the radiator fan.If the fan is not working, turn theengine off. Open the fuse box (page

) and check the radiator fan fuse.If the fuse is blown, replace it with theproper (same rating) spare fuse. Startthe engine. If the coolant temperatureindicator come on, and the coolanttemperature meter displays fivesegments, turn the engine off.If the radiator fan is working, visuallycheck the coolant level in the reservetank, located under the right fairingcompartment (page ). It isn’tnecessary to touch the radiator system.If the reserve tank is low or empty, don’tride without adding coolant (page ).After adding coolant, turn the engine onand check the temperature meter.If the temperature doesn’t drop, do not

ride. The engine needs repair. Transportyour motorcycle to a Honda dealer(page ).If the temperature drops to normal,check the coolant level. If it has gonedown, add more coolant.

If you are able to resume riding, continueto monitor the meter frequently.

If there’s a mild leak, you can ride forawhile, carefully watching the meter. Beprepared to stop and add more coolant orwater. If the leak is bad, transport yourmotorcycle to a Honda dealer (page ).

If the Low Oil Pressure Indicator Lights


Continuing to ride with low oil pressurecan cause serious engine damage.

If you check your engine oil levelregularly, you should never see the low oilpressure indicator while riding. Normally,it will only light momentarily when youturn the ignition switch ON. Occasionally,it may flicker at or near idling speed.

Low oil pressure may be caused by an oilleak, a low oil level, or some problem inthe engine’s lubrication system.

Check for an oil leak.

If the indicator comes on while you’reriding, don’t ignore it. Pull safely to theside of the road. Stop the engine as soonas it’s safe to do so.

Then check the oil level. If necessary,add the recommended oil (page ) tothe upper level mark. If you must leaveyour scooter to get oil, secure it as muchas possible.After adding oil, start the engine, andcheck that the low oil pressure indicatorgoes off. Check for a possible leak.If the indicator goes off and there is noleak –– resume riding. If there is a leak–– do not ride the scooter until the leakis repaired by a Honda dealer.

Source of Exhaust EmissionsThe Vehicle Emission ControlInformation label ( ) is attached to theinside of the center compartment.

The combustion process produces carbonmonoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx),and hydrocarbons (HC). Control ofhydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen isvery important because, under certainconditions, they react to formphotochemical smog when subjected tosunlight. Carbon monoxide does not reactin the same way, but it is toxic.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. utilizes varioussystems to reduce hydrocarbons, oxides ofnitrogen, and carbon monoxide.

PGM-FI System

Ignition Timing Control System

Exhaust Emission Control System



The PGM-FI system uses sequentialmultiport fuel injection. It has foursubsystems: Air Intake, Engine Control,Fuel Control, and Exhaust Control.The Engine Control Module (ECM) usesvarious sensors to determine how much airis going into the engine. It then controlshow much fuel to inject under alloperating conditions.

The system constantly adjusts the ignitiontiming, reducing the amount of HC, COand NOx produced.

The exhaust emission control systemincludes a secondary air supply system, aPGM-FI system, and an oxidation catalyticconverter.

No adjustment to these systems should bemade although periodic inspection of thecomponents is recommended.

04/09/27 21:56:40 31MCT630_213

205

Secondary Air Injection System Evaporative Emission Control System



Oxidation Catalytic Converter

The secondary air injection systemintroduces filtered air into the exhaustgases in the exhaust port. The secondaryair injection system helps improveemission performance.

The oxidation catalytic converter is in theexhaust system. Through chemicalreactions, they convert HC and CO in theengine’s exhaust to carbon dioxide (CO )and water vapor.

This scooter complies with therequirements of the California AirResources Board (CARB) evaporativeemission regulations. Fuel vapor from thefuel tank is directed into the charcoalcanister and air cleaner where it isadsorbed and stored while the engine isstopped. When the engine is running andthe purge control solenoid valve is open,fuel vapor in the charcoal canister and aircleaner is drawn into the engine throughthe throttle body.

Catalytic Converter


This scooter is equipped with an oxidationcatalytic converter.The catalytic converter contains preciousmetals that serve as catalysts, promotingchemical reactions to convert the exhaustgasses without affecting the metals.

The catalytic converter acts on HC andCO. A replacement unit must be anoriginal Honda part or its equivalent.

The catalytic converter must operate at ahigh temperature for the chemicalreactions to take place. It can set fire toany combustible materials that come nearit. Park your scooter away from highgrasses, dry leaves, or other flammables.

A defective catalytic converter contributesto air pollution, and can impair yourengine’s performance. Follow theseguidelines to protect your scooter’scatalytic converter.

Always use unleaded gasoline. Even asmall amount of leaded gasoline cancontaminate the catalyst metals, makingthe catalytic converter ineffective.

Keep the engine tuned-up.

Have your scooter diagnosed andrepaired if it is misfiring, backfiring,stalling or otherwise not runningproperly.

Oxygenated Fuels

Some conventional gasolines are beingblended with alcohol or an ethercompound. These gasolines arecollectively referred to as oxygenatedfuels. To meet clean air standards, someareas of the United States and Canada useoxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it isunleaded and meets the minimum octanerating requirement.Before using an oxygenated fuel, try toconfirm the fuel’s contents. Some states/provinces require this information to beposted on the pump.

The following are the EPA-approvedpercentages of oxygenates:

ETHANOL (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10%by Volume

You may use gasoline containing up to10% ethanol by volume. Gasolinecontaining ethanol may be marketedunder the name ‘‘Gasohol’’.

MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) 15%by Volume

You may use gasoline containing up to15% MTBE by volume.

Oxygenated Fuels

Oxygenated f uels can damage paint andplastic. Damage caused by spilled f uel isnot covered by warranty.

Fuel system damage or performanceproblems resulting from the use of anoxygenated fuel containing more than thepercentages of oxygenates mentionedabove are not covered under warranty.

Oxygenated fuels can damage paint andplastic. Be careful not to spill fuel whenfilling the fuel tank. Wipe up any spillsimmediately.

If you notice any undesirable operatingsymptoms, try another service station orswitch to another brand of gasoline.

METHANOL (methyl or wood alcohol)5% by Volume

You may use gasoline containingmethanol containing up to 5% methanolby volume as long as it also containscosolvents and corrosion inhibitors toprotect the fuel system. Gasolinecontaining more than 5% methanol byvolume may cause starting and/orperformance problems. It may alsodamage metal, rubber, and plastic partsof your fuel system.
