BREAKES
Front Brake
Brakes are items of personal safety and should always be maintained in
proper adjustment. The distance the brake lever moves before the brake
starts to engage is called free play. Measured at the tip of the front
brake lever, free play should be maintained at:
- 20 – 30 mm ( 3/4 – 1/4 in )
Minor adjustments can be made with the brake cable adjuster (2) at the
lever.
- Loosen the lock nut (1) and turn the adjuster (2). Tighten the lock nut
(1) and check the adjustment. - If the adjuster is threaded out near its limit or if the correct free play
cannot be obtained, loosen the lock nut (1) and turn in the cable adjuster
(2) completely. Tighten the lock nut (1). - At the lower end of the cable, loosen the lock nut (4). Turn the adjusting
nut (3) to obtain the specified free play. Tighten the lock nut (4) and
check the adjustment.
|
If proper adjustment cannot be obtained by this method, see your authorized Honda dealer. |
Other Checks:
Check the brake cable for kinks or signs of wear that could cause sticking
or failure. Lubricate the brake cable with a commercially available cable
lubricant to prevent premature wear and corrosion.
Rear Brake
Adjustment:
- Place the motorcycle on its side stand.
- Measure the distance the rear brake pedal (1) moves before the brake stars
to take hold. Free play should be:20 – 30 mm ( 3/4 – 1/4 in )
- Make free play adjustments by turning the adjusting nut (2) at the brake
arm.NOTE - Make sure the cut-out on the adjusting nut is seated on the brake arm pin
(3) after making final free play adjustment. - If proper adjustment cannot be obtained by this method, see your authorized
Honda dealer.
- Make sure the cut-out on the adjusting nut is seated on the brake arm pin
- Apply each brake several times and check for free wheel rotation
when released.
Other Checks:
Make sure the brake rod, brake arm, spring and fasteners are in good condition.
REAR SUSPENSION
Each shock absorber (1) has five adjustment positions for different load
or riding conditions. Use the handle lever (2) to adjust the rear shocks.
Position I is for light loads and smooth road conditions, and standard.
Position II to V increase spring preload for a stiffer rear suspension,
and can be used when the motorcycle is heavily loaded. Be certain to adjust
both shock absorbers to the same position.
CLUTCH
Adjustment:
- The clutch is adjusted with the engine off. Remove the cover protector
(1) and loosen the adjuster lock nut (2). - Turn the clutch adjuster (3) clockwise one turn; do not turn excessively.
- Slowly turn the adjuster counterclockwise until a slight resistance is
felt. - From this position, turn the adjuster clockwise 1/8 turn, and tighten the
lock nut. - After adjustment, test ride the motorcycle to be certain the clutch operates
properly.
The engine should start easily with the kickstarter without the clutch
slipping. When shifting gears, the clutch operation should be smooth and
light, especially when shifting into neutral.
|
If proper adjustment cannot be obtained or the clutch does not work correctly, see your authorized Honda dealer. |
FUEL
Fuel Cock
The three way fuel cock (1) is on the left underneath the fuel tank.
| OFF | With the fuel cock in the OFF position, fuel cannot flow from the tank to the carburetor. Turn the valve off whenever the motorcycle is not in use. |
|---|---|
| ON | With the fuel cock in the ON position, fuel will flow from the main fuel supply to the carburetor. |
| RES | With the fuel cock in the RES position, fuel will flow from the reserve fuel supply to the carburetor. Use the reserve fuel only when the main supply is gone. Refill the tanks as soon as possible after switching to RES. The reserve fuel supply is:
|
|
|
|
|
Remember to check that the fuel cock is in the ON position each time you refuel. If the cock is left in the RES position, you may run out of fuel with no reserve |
Fuel Tank
The fuel tank is located under the seat. Lift up the seat, then remove
the fuel fill cap (1) by turning it counterclockwise. Fuel tank capacity
is:
4.8 L ( 1.3 US gal, 1.1 Imp gal )
Install the fuel fill cap by turning it clockwise. Use unleaded or low-lead
petrol with a research octane number of 91 or higher. We recommend that
you use unleaded petrol because it produces fewer engine and spark plug
deposits and extends the life of exhaust system components.
FOR AUSTRALIA ONLY:
Use unleaded petrol with a research octane number of 91 or higher.
|
If “ spark knock ” or “ pinking ” occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, change brands of petrol. If spark knock or pinking persists, consult your authorized Honda dealer. Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered by Honda’s Limited warranty. |
|

|
Petrol Containing Alcohol
If you decide to use a petrol containing alcohol ( gasohol ), be sure it’s
octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are
two types of “gasohol”: one containing ethanol, and the other containing
methanol. Do not use petrol that contains more than 10 % ethanol. Do not
use petrol containing methanol ( methyl or wood alcohol ) that does not
also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use
petrol containing more than 5 % methanol, even if it has cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors.

ENGINE OIL
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level each day before riding the motorcycle. The level
must be maintained between the upper (2) and lower (3) marks on the dipstick
(1).
- Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
- Stop the engine and hold the motorcycle in an upright position on firm,
level ground. - After a few minutes, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, wipe it clean,
and reinsert the dipstick without screwing it in. The oil level should
be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. - If required, add the specified oil up to the upper level mark. Do not overfill.
- Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick, check for oil leaks.
|
Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage. |
TYRES
Proper air pressure will provide maximum stability, riding comfort and
tyre life. Check tyre pressure frequently and adjust if necessary.
|
Tyre pressure should be checked before you ride while the tyres are “ cold ”. |
Select the right replacement tyre in accordance with the following specifications:
Cold tyre
pressures kPa ( kg/cm2, psi )Front: 175 ( 1.75, 25 )
Rear : 225 ( 2.25, 33 )Tyre size Front: 2.75 – 17 41P
Rear : 2.75 – 17 41P
Check the tyres for cuts, imbedded nails, ore other sharp objects. See
your authorized Honda Dealer for replacement of damaged tyres or punctured
inner tubes.
