OPERATION

Pre-ride Inspection

For your safety, it is very important to take a few
moments before each ride to walk around your
motorcycle and check its condition. If you detect any
problem, be sure you take care of it, or have it
corrected by your Honda dealer.
WARNING

Improperly maintaining this motorcycle or failing to
correct a problem before riding can cause a crash in

ride and correct any problems.
