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.
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems
resulting from the use of fuels that contain alcohol is
not covered under the warranty. Honda cannot endorse
the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of
their suitability is as yet incomplete.
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to
find out if the fuel contains alcohol. If it does, confirm
the type and percentage of alcohol used. If you notice
any undesirable operating symptoms while using a
petrol that contains alcohol, or one that you think
contains alcohol, switch to a petrol that you know
does not contain alcohol.

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 (1) and
lower (2) level marks on the oil filler cap/dipstick (3).
1. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 – 5 minutes.
2. Stop the engine and hold the motorcycle in an
upright position on firm, level ground.
3. After 2 – 3 minutes, remove the oil filler cap/
dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert the oil filler cap/
dipstick without screwing it in. Remove the oil filler
cap/ dipstick. The oil level should be between the
upper and lower level marks on the oil filler cap/
dipstick.
4. If required, add the specified oil (page 45) up to the
upper level mark. Do not overfill.
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick. Check for oil
leaks.
