NOTE:
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels
that contain alcohol are 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
Check engine oil level each day before operating the motorcycle.
To check the oil level:
1. Place the motorcycle on its center stand on firm, level ground.
2. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
3. Stop the engine. After a few minutes, check the oil level inspection window. The oil
level should be between the upper and lower level marks.
4. If required, remove the air duct/maintenance cover and oil filler cap, add the specified
oil up to the upper level mark. Do not overfill.
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap and the air duct/maintenance cover (If removed).
CAUTION:
Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.
Engine Oil
Good engine oil has many desirable qualities. Use only high detergent, quality motor oil
certified on the container to meet or exceed requirements for API Service Classification SE,
SF or SG.
