CATALYTIC CONVERTER

This motorcycle is equipped with a catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter contains precious metals that
serve as catalysts, promoting chemical reactions to
convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the
metals.
The catalytic converter acts on HC, CO, and NOx. A
replacement unit must be an original Honda part or its
equivalent.
The catalytic converter must operate at a high
temperature for the chemical reactions to take place. It
can set on fire any combustible materials that come
near it. Park your motorcycle away from high grasses,
dry leaves, or other flammables.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to air
pollution, and can impair your engine's performance.
Follow these guidelines to protect your motorcycle's
catalytic converter.
• Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small amount of
leaded petrol can contaminate the catalyst metals,
making the catalytic converter ineffective.
• Keep the engine tuned-up.
• Have your motorcycle diagnosed and replaced if it is
misfiring, backfiring, stalling or otherwise not running
properly.
