MAJOR COMPONENTS

(Information you need to operate this motorcycle)
Suspension
Rear Suspension
Each shock absorber (1) has 5 adjustment positions
for different load or riding conditions.
See your Honda dealer to adjust the rear shock.
Always adjust the shock absorber position in sequence
(1-2-3-4-5 or 5-4-3-2-1).
Position 1 is for a light load and smooth road
conditions.
Position 2 is the standard position.
Positions 3 to 5 increase spring preload for a stiffer
rear suspension and can be used when the motorcycle
is more heavily loaded. Be certain to adjust both shock
absorbers to the same position.

Brakes

Front Brake
Brakes are items of personal safety and should always
be maintained in proper adjustment.
The distance the front brake lever (1) 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: 10 – 20 mm (0.4 – 0.8 in)

Adjustment
1. Major adjustment should be made using the lower
adjusting nut (2) at the front wheel.
2. Adjust brake lever free play with the front brake
adjusting nut (2). Turning the nut clockwise will
decrease free play and turning the nut
counterclockwise will increase free play.
Make sure the cut-out on the adjusting nut is seated
on the brake arm pin (3) after making final free play
adjustment.
3. Apply the brake several times and check for free
wheel rotation after the brake is released.
