There is much that you can do to protectyourself when you ride. You’ll find manyhelpful recommendations throughout thismanual. Following are a few that weconsider to be most important.

Your scooter can provide many years ofservice and pleasure if you takeresponsibility for your own safety andunderstand the challenges that you canmeet on the road.

Some drivers do not see scooters becausethey are not looking for them. To makeyourself more visible, wear bright reflectiveclothing, position yourself so other driverscan see you, signal before turning orchanging lanes, and use your horn when itwill help others notice you.

It’s a proven fact: helmets significantlyreduce the number and severity of headinjuries. So always wear an approvedmotorcycle helmet and make sure yourpassenger does the same. We alsorecommend that you wear eye protection,sturdy boots, gloves, and other protectivegear (page ).

Pushing the limits is another major cause ofscooter crashes. Never ride beyond yourpersonal abilities or faster than conditionswarrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs,fatigue and inattention can significantlyreduce your ability to make goodjudgements and ride safely.

This scooter is equipped with a CombinedBrake System. Operating the rear brakelever applies the rear brake and a portion ofthe f ront brake. For f ull brakingeffectiveness, use both the front and rearbrake lever simultaneously, as you wouldwith a conventional scooter braking system.

As with a conventional scooter brakingsystem, excessively hard application of thebrake controls may cause wheel lock,reducing control of the scooter.

For normal braking, apply both the frontand rear brake lever to match your roadspeed. For maximum braking, close thethrottle and firmly apply the front and rearbrake lever.

Both the front and rear brakes are thehydraulic disc types.As the brake pads wear, the brake fluidlevel drops.There are no adjustments to perform, butfluid level and pad wear must be inspectedperiodically. The system must be inspectedfrequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks.If the control lever free travel becomesexcessive and the brake pads are not wornbeyond the recommended limit (page ),there is probably air in the brake systemand it must be bled. See your Honda dealerfor this service.

Petrol is highly flammable andexplosive. You can be burned orseriously injured when handling fuel.

Stop the engine and keep heat,sparks, and flame away.Refuel only outdoors.Wipe up spills immediately.

09/08/05 17:24:52 32KTGC00_037

If ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinking’’ occurs at asteady engine speed under normal load,change brands of petrol. If spark knock orpinking persists, consult your Honda dealer.Failure to do so is considered misuse, anddamage caused by misuse is not covered byHonda’s Limited Warranty.

Use unleaded petrol with a research octanenumber of 91 or higher.The use of leaded petrol will causepremature damage to the catalyticconverter.

Do not overfill the tank. There should be nofuel in the filler neck ( ).After refueling, be sure to tighten the fuelfill cap firmly by turning it clockwise.Make sure that the arrow marks ( ) on thefuel fill cap and fuel tank are aligned.Close the seat.

If you decide to use a petrol containingalcohol (gasohol), be sure it’s octane ratingis at least as high as that recommended byHonda. There are two types of ‘‘gasohol’’:one containing ethanol, and the othercontaining methanol. Do not use petrol thatcontains more than 10 % ethanol. Do not usepetrol containing methanol (methyl or woodalcohol) that does not also containcosolvents and corrosion inhibitors formethanol. Never use petrol containing morethan 5 % methanol, even if it has cosolventsand corrosion inhibitors.

Before buying fuel from an unfamiliarstation, try to find out if the fuel containsalcohol. If it does, confirm the type andpercentage of alcohol used. If you noticeany undesirable operating symptoms whileusing a petrol that contains alcohol, or onethat you think contains alcohol, switch to apetrol that you know does not containalcohol.

The use of petrol containing more than 10 %ethanol (or more than 5 % methanol) may:

Damage the painting of the fuel tank.Damage the rubber tubes of the fuel line.Cause corrosion of the fuel tank.Cause poor drivability.

To safely operate your scooter, your tyresmust be the proper type and size, in goodcondition with adequate tread, and correctlyinflated for the load you are carrying. Thefollowing pages give more detailed informa-tion on how and when to check your airpressure, how to inspect your tyres fordamage, and what to do when your tyresneed to be repaired or replaced.

Keeping your tyres properly inf latedprovides the best combination of handling,tread life and riding comfort. Generally,underinf lated tyres wear unevenly,adversely affect handling, and are morelikely to fail from being overheated.Overinflated tyres make your scooter rideharshly, are more prone to damage fromroad hazards, and wear unevenly.

We recommend that you visually checkyour tyres before every ride and use agauge to measure air pressure at least oncea month or any time you think the tyresmight be low.Tubeless tyres have some self-sealingability if they are punctured. However,because leakage is often very slow, youshould look closely for punctures whenevera tyre is not fully inflated.

The recommended ‘‘cold’’ tyre pressuresare:

Always check air pressure when your tyresare ‘‘cold’’ when the scooter has beenparked for at least three hours. If you checkair pressure when your tyres are ‘‘warm’’when the scooter has been ridden for evena few miles the readings will be higherthan if the tyres were ‘‘cold’’. This is normal,so do not let air out of the tyres to matchthe recommended cold air pressures givenbelow. If you do, the tyres will beunderinflated.

Whenever you check the tyre pressures,you should also examine the tyre treads andsidewalls for wear, damage, and foreignobjects:

Also, if you hit a pothole or hard object, pullto the side of the road as soon as you cansafely and carefully inspect the tyres fordamage.

Look for:Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre orthe tread. Replace the tyre if you find anybumps or bulges.Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replacethe tyre if you can see fabric or cord.Excessive tread wear.

If a tyre is punctured or damaged, youshould replace it, not repair it. As discussedbelow, a tyre that is repaired, eithertemporarily or permanently, will have lowerspeed and performance limits than a newtyre.

A temporary repair, such as an externaltubeless tyre plug, may not be safe fornormal speeds and riding conditions. If atemporary or emergency repair is made to atyre, you should ride slowly and cautiouslyto a dealer and have the tyre replaced. Ifpossible, you should not carry a passengeror cargo until a new tyre is installed.

Even if a tyre is professionally repaired witha permanent internal patch plug, it will notbe as good as a new tyre. You should notexceed 60 km/h (40 mph) for the first 24hours. In addition, you may not be able tosafely carry as much weight as with a newtyre. Therefore, we strongly recommendthat you replace a damaged tyre. If youchoose to have a tyre repaired, be sure thewheel is balanced before you ride.
