Protective Apparel
1. Most motorcycle accident fatalities happen due to
head injuries. ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET. If it is an
open-type helmet, you should wear a face shield or
goggles. It is also important to wear boots, gloves
and protective clothing. The passenger needs the
same protection.
2. The exhaust system becomes hot during operation,
and it remains hot for a while after stopping the
engine. Be careful not to touch the exhaust system
while it is hot. Wear clothing that fully covers your
legs.
3. Do not wear loose clothing. They could catch on the
control levers, footpegs, drive chain or wheels.
Modifications
WARNING
Modifications or removal of original equipment may
render the motorcycle unsafe or illegal. Obey all
national and local equipment and accessory
regulations.
Precaution with Floods
When riding in flooded places and streams, do not
allow water to enter the air cleaner. The inflow of water
in the engine may cause a hydraulic shim effect, which
will damage the engine.
If water enters the oil pan, it will contaminate the
lubricating oil. If this occurs, turn the engine off
immediately. Change the oil at an authorized Honda
dealer to make sure the water in the engine is
eliminated and proper maintenance is performed.
Optional Accessories
See an authorized Honda dealer for more information
on available optional accessories for your motorcycle.
