Catalytic Converter - Honda CB500XA Owner's Manual

Catalytic Converter

This motorcycle is equipped with a three-way
catalytic converter. The catalytic converter
contains precious metals that serve as catalysts
in high temperature chemical reactions that
convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide
(CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the
exhaust gasses into safe compounds.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to air
pollution and can impair your engine's
performance. A replacement unit must be an
original Honda part or equivalent.
Follow these guidelines to protect your
motorcycle's catalytic converter.
Always use unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol
●
will damage the catalytic converter.
Keep the engine in good running condition.
●
Have your motorcycle serviced if your
●
engine is misfiring, backfiring, stalling, or
otherwise not running properly, stop riding
and turn off the engine.
