The vehicle presents you a challenge to master the machine, a challenge to adventure. You
ride through the wind, linked to the road by a vehicle that responds to your commands as
no other does. Unlike an automobile, there is no metal cage around you. Like an air plane,
a pre-ride inspection and regular maintenance are essential to your safety. Your reward is
freedom.
To meet the challenges safely, and to enjoy the adventure fully, you should become
thoroughly familiar with this owner’s manual BEFORE YOU RIDE THE VEHICLE.
As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded by a symbol.
This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your vehicle, other property, or
the environment.
When service is required, remember that your Honda dealer knows your vehicle. If you
have the required mechanical “know-how” and tools, your dealer can supply you an official
Honda shop manual on paid basis to help you perform many maintenance and repair tasks.
Accessories shown in the illustration are not part of the standard equipment.
