Catalytic Converter
This scooter is equipped with an oxidation
catalytic converter. The catalytic converter
contain precious metals that serve as catalysts in
high temperature chemical reactions that
convert hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon
monoxide (CO) 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
scooter's catalytic converter.
• Always use unleaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline will damage the catalytic converter.
• Keep the engine in good running condition.
A poorly running engine can cause the
catalytic converter to overheat causing
damage to the converter or the scooter.
• If your engine is misfiring, backfiring, stalling,
or otherwise not running properly, stop
riding and turn off the engine. Have your
scooter serviced as soon as possible.
