Caring for Your Vehicle

Assist-slipper Clutch System
The assist-slipper clutch system helps to prevent
the rear tyre from locking up when the
deceleration of your vehicle produces a strong
engine braking effect. It also makes the clutch
lever operation feel lighter.
Use only MA classification engine oil for your
vehicle. Using engine oil other than MA
classification oil could result in damage to the
assist-slipper clutch system.

Caring for Your Vehicle
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean vehicle
makes it easier to spot potential problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of
corrosion. Always wash your vehicle thoroughly
after riding on coastal or treated roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
Rinse your vehicle thoroughly using a low
1.
pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.
If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel
2.
with mild cleaner to remove road grime.
Clean the headlight lens, panels, and
u
other plastic components with extra care
to avoid scratching them.
Avoid directing water into the air cleaner,
muffler, and electrical parts.
