Page 48: Load Limits & Guidelines
Load Limits & Guidelines Your Honda was designed as a rider-only ATV. It was not designed to carry a passenger or cargo. A passenger or cargo could interfere with your ability to move around to maintain your balance and control of the ATV.
Page 49: Load Limits
Load Limits & Guidelines Load Limits Following is the load limit for your ATV: There is a limit to how much weight can be carried on your ATV. The following load limit applies to standard equipment only. Modifying your ATV, using non-standard equipment, or riding on terrain that is not flat and smooth could further reduce this limit.
Page 50: Loading Guidelines
Load Limits & Guidelines Loading Guidelines As discussed on page , we recommend that you do not carry any cargo on this ATV. However, if you decide to carry cargo, ride at reduced speeds and follow these common-sense guidelines. Carrying cargo or pulling a trailer will affect how your ATV handles and greatly reduce its ability in accelerating, braking and making turns and other maneuvers.
Page 51: Accessories & Modifications
Honda cannot test all other accessories, you must be personally responsible for proper selection, installation, and use of non-Honda accessories. Check with your Honda dealer for assistance and always follow these guidelines: Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance, limit suspension travel or steering travel, or interfere with operating any controls.

Page 65: How To Stop The Engine
Starting & Stopping the Engine How to Stop the Engine Normal Engine Stop To stop the engine, make sure the transmission is in neutral by checking that the neutral indicator lights, then turn the ignition switch OFF ( The engine stop switch should normally remain in the RUN ( position even when the engine is OFF.
Page 66: Shifting Gears
Shifting Gears GEAR SHIFTING SEQUENCE The shift lever is located near the left footpeg. One full stroke of the shift lever shifts the transmission to the next higher or lower gear in the shifting sequence. The shift lever automatically returns to the horizontal position when released.
Page 67 Shifting Gears While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch lever/parking brake lever and raise the shift lever to shift into 1st gear. Release the rear brake pedal, gradually release the clutch lever/ parking brake lever, and increase engine speed by gradually opening the throttle.
Page 68: Riding In Reverse
Riding in Reverse If you need to ride in reverse, make sure the area behind you is clear and only operate the ATV at low speed. Your ATV is equipped with a reverse speed limiter and reverse gear rev limiter to assure low operating speed while backing up. Improperly operating in reverse could cause you to hit an obstacle or person behind you, resulting in serious injury.
Page 69 Riding in Reverse Leaving your left hand on the clutch lever/parking brake lever, remove your right hand from the throttle and place it on the reverse assist lever ( ). Pull and hold the reverse assist lever. Your ATV may be equipped with reverse speed limiter and reverse gear rev limiter, which help the vehicle to maintain a saf e speed while riding in reverse gear.
Page 70 Riding in Reverse To shift out of reverse into 1st gear, pull in the clutch lever/parking brake lever and raise the shift lever one click to 1st gear. Make sure that the reverse indicator goes off. Applying only the rear brake abruptly when operating in reverse gear could cause the front wheels to lift off the ground and the ATV could overturn backwards.
Page 71: Braking
Braking Your ATV is equipped with disc braking systems which are hydraulically activated. Operating the front brake lever applies the two front disc brakes. Depressing the rear brake pedal applies the rear disc brake. As a general rule, the front braking system provides about 70 percent of total stopping power.
Page 72 Braking Your ability to brake in a turn and to brake hard in an emergency situation are important riding skills. When descending a long, steep grade, use engine compression braking by downshifting, with intermittent use of both brakes. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness.
Page 73: Riding Your Atv
Riding Your ATV Making Turns Learn how to turn your ATV properly. Practice the techniques outlined in this section on level ground and at low speeds until you are confident in making turns. Turning improperly can make the ATV go out of control, causing a collision or overturn.
Page 74 Riding Your ATV Lean your body to the inside of a turn and forward. To make a turn on level ground: Steer the handlebar and lean your body toward the inside of the turn. Leaning helps balance the vehicle, and it feels more comfortable.
Page 75: Skidding Or Sliding
Riding Your ATV Skidding or Sliding The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding during a turn is more likely to occur on slippery surfaces, such as snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may lose all directional control.
Page 76: Riding Up Hills
Riding Your ATV Riding Up Hills The ATV’s ability to safely climb hills largely depends on the rider’s skill and judgment. Begin by practicing on smooth, gentle slopes. As you gain experience, you’ll learn the hazards and your own limitations. You may then proceed to ride on more difficult terrain.
Page 77 Riding Your ATV Shift weight forward when climbing hills. Always check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. To climb a hill, take a running start in an appropriate gear and speed for the conditions.
Page 78 Riding Your ATV Stalling the ATV and/or Rolling Backwards: If you incorrectly estimate climbing capability or terrain conditions, the ATV may not have enough power or traction to continue uphill. If this happens, the ATV can stall and/or roll backwards. Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill could result in the ATV overturning.
Page 79 Riding Your ATV What to do after the ATV has stalled or rolled backwards: If the hill is too steep or too slippery, or if you have any doubt whether you can safely walk the ATV back down the hill, leave the vehicle where it is and get help.
Page 80: Riding Down Hills
Riding Your ATV Riding Down Hills It’s usually advisable to descend hills with the ATV pointed straight downhill. Avoid angles that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Going down a hill improperly could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to overturn. Always follow proper procedures for going down hills as described in this owner’s manual.
Page 81: Crossing Or Turning On Hills Or Slopes
Riding Your ATV When you’ve selected a safe downhill path, shift into a lower gear, shift your weight back with your arms extended and braced against the handlebar, then go down slowly with the throttle closed. Use mainly the rear brake to control speed. Avoid using the front brake hard or abruptly when riding down hills.
Page 82 Riding Your ATV Crossing Hills or Slopes To maintain balance and stability when riding across a slope, you need to shift weight toward the uphill side of the vehicle. To do this, move your body off the centre of the seat and lean toward the uphill side.
Page 83: Riding Over Obstacles
Riding Your ATV Riding Over Obstacles Before operating in a new area, check for obstacles. Watch out for bumps, rain ruts, potholes and other obstacles in the terrain. When you approach any obstacle, reduce your speed and be prepared to stop. Never try to ride over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen logs.
Page 84: Riding Through Water
Riding Your ATV Riding Through Water Your ATV is designed to travel through water up to approximately 254 mm (10 inches) deep. Before crossing a stream, make sure the water is not too deep or flowing too fast. The ATV tyres have some ability to float. Operating this ATV through deep or fast-flowing water may cause a loss of traction and loss of control, which could lead to an accident.
Page 85: Parking
Parking Look for level parking area. Make sure the ground surface is firm. After bringing your ATV to a stop, hold the brakes while you shift into neutral. Set the parking brake. Turn the ignition switch OFF ( If you’re finished riding for the day, turn the fuel valve OFF. If it is necessary to start the engine when your ATV in gear and is stopped on a grade, rock the vehicle back and forth to allow shifting the transmission into neutral.

Tips Here’s helpful advice on how to prepare for an off-road adventure, how to transport and store your Honda, and how to be an environmentally responsible ATV owner. Preparing for a Ride ................What to Take to the Riding Area ..........
Page 175 Preparing for a Ride A safe and enjoyable ride begins with good planning and preparation. Always ride with at least one other person in case you have trouble, and let someone know where you’re going and when you expect to return. Before riding in an unfamiliar area, find out in advance if you need special permits, get maps so you can study the terrain, and talk to other riders who know the area.
Page 176 Preparing for a Ride What to Take on the Trail What you take with you during a ride depends on the kind of terrain, how long you expect to ride, how far you might go from your base camp or help, and how experienced you or your companions are in making repairs.
Page 177 Transporting Your Honda Do not tow your ATV behind a car or other vehicle. When you transport your ATV, we recommend that you carry the vehicle in its normal operating position (on all four wheels). Do not incline the vehicle upright on its rear end. This can damage the vehicle, and leaking petrol could be a hazard.
Page 178 Transporting Your Honda Secure the vehicle with tie-down straps in the areas shown. Suitable tie-down straps are available from your Honda dealer. Ordinary rope is not recommended because it can stretch under load. Using tie-down straps in any other areas can damage your ATV.
Page 179 Storing Your Honda If you won’t be riding for an extended period, such as during the winter, thoroughly inspect your ATV and correct any problem before storing it. That way, needed repairs won’t be forgotten and it will be easier to get your ATV running again.
Page 180 Storing Your Honda Preparation for Storage Refer to Saf ety Precautions on page Change the engine oil and filter (page Make sure the cooling system is filled with a 50/50% antifreeze solution (page Fill the fuel tank. Make sure the fuel fill cap is properly installed.
Page 181 Storing Your Honda Remove the battery and charge it fully. Store it in an area protected from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. Slow charge the battery (page ) once a month. The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
Page 182 (page − If your ATV has been stored for more than two months ask your Honda dealer to drain and replace the fuel. Charge the battery (page ) as required. Install the battery. Lubricate the drive chain (page...
Page 183 You & the Environment Owning and riding an ATV can be enjoyable, but you must do your part to protect nature. When you show respect for the land, wildlife, and other people, you also help preserve the sport of off-road riding. Following are tips on how you can be an environmentally responsible ATV owner.
Page 184: Taking Care Of The Unexpected
Taking Care of the Unexpected With all the challenges you can encounter off-road, there’s a chance that sometime something may go wrong. This section gives practical advice to help you deal with a wide range of problems. Take time to read this section before you ride.
Page 185: General Guidelines
Taking Care of the Unexpected General Guidelines Keeping your ATV well-maintained is the best way to reduce the possibility of having a problem while riding. However, problems can arise even with well-maintained machines. Remember to take along your owner’s manual, the tool kit that came with your ATV, and any other items (such as tyre repair supplies and additional tools) that might help you solve a problem on your own.
Page 186 Taking Care of the Unexpected Should you ever have a problem while riding, please follow these guidelines: Always put personal safety first. Take time to assess the situation and your options before deciding what to do. If the problem is relatively minor and you have the tools, supplies, and skills to make a temporary repair, be sure to have permanent repairs made as soon as possible.
Page 187: If Your Engine Quits Or Won't Start

Page 190: If You Have A Flat Tyre
Follow the instructions provided with the repair kit to make a temporary repair. As soon as possible, have the tyre permanently repaired by your Honda dealer. Any tyre that cannot be repaired should be replaced. Whenever the ATV is to be operated far from service facilities or available transportation, we recommend that you carry a tyre pump and a repair kit with the vehicle.
Page 191 If You Have a Flat Tyre Emergency Wheel Removal/Installation Refer to Saf ety Precautions on page (1) wheel nuts (2) wheel rim Removal Park your ATV on a firm, level surface. − − Loosen but do not remove the wheel nuts ( ). Raise the front (or rear) wheels off the ground and place a support block under the vehicle.
Page 192 64 N·m (6.5 kgf·m , 47 lbf·ft) If a torque wrench was not used for installation, see your Honda dealer as soon as possible to verify proper assembly. Improper assembly may lead to loss of braking capability.
Page 193: If The High Coolant Temperature Indicator Lights
If the High Coolant Temperature Indicator Lights Normally, the high coolant temperature indicator will only light momentarily when you turn the ignition ON ( ). Occasionally, it may flicker at or near idling speed. High coolant temperature may be caused by restriction of air flow to the radiator (such as mud caked on the radiator), extended idling, an oil leak, a coolant leak, a low oil level, a low coolant level, or extended operation under adverse conditions.
Page 194 If there’s a mild coolant leak, you can ride for awhile, carefully watching the indicator. Be prepared to stop and add more coolant or water. If the leak is bad, transport your ATV to a Honda dealer (page Taking Care of the Unexpected...
Page 195: If A Fuse Blows
If a Fuse Blows All of the electrical circuits on your ATV have a fuse to protect them from damage caused by excess current flow (short circuit or overload). If something electrical on your ATV stops working, the first thing you should check for is a blown fuse ( ).

Page 197 If a Fuse Blows Circuit Fuse Access (5) circuit fuses (6) spare fuses To check or replace a circuit fuse ( ), pull the old fuse out of its retaining clips. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a spare fuse ( ) of the same rating. If you do not have a replacement fuse with the proper rating for the circuit, install one with a lower rating.
Page 198 If the replacement fuse of the same rating burns out in a short time, there is probably a serious electrical problem on your ATV. Leave the blown fuse in that circuit and have your ATV checked by your Honda dealer.
Page 199: If You Crash
Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not immediately apparent. When you get home, thoroughly check your ATV and correct any problems you find. Also, be sure to have your Honda dealer check the frame and suspension after any serious crash.
Page 200: If You Lose Your Key
If you don’t know your key number, call the dealer where you purchased your Honda ATV. They may have it listed in their records. If they don’t, transport your ATV to them or the nearest Honda dealer.
Page 201: If The Battery Is Low (Or Dead)
The greater amperage of an automobile battery when the car engine is running can damage your ATV’s electrical system. Bump starting is also not recommended. If you can’t charge the battery or it appears unable to hold a charge, contact your Honda dealer. Taking Care of the Unexpected...
Page 202: If A Component Fails
If a Component Fails The levers or pedal, control cables, and other components can be damaged as you ride in dense brush or over rocky terrain. Making a trailside repair depends on how serious the damage is and what tools and supplies you have with you.
