    Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. utilizes various systems to reduce carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons. CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging crankcase emissions into the atmosphere.
  • Page 61 GENERAL INFORMATION EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM The exhaust emission control system is composed of a pulse secondary air supply system, a three-way catalytic converter and PGM-FI system. No adjustment should be made about the exhaust emission control systems. The exhaust emission control system is separate from the crankcase emission control system.

  • Page 62: Noise Emission Control System

    GENERAL INFORMATION THREE-WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER This motorcycle is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter. The three-way catalytic converter is in the exhaust system. Through chemical reactions, it converts HC, CO and NOx in the engine's exhaust to carbon dioxide (CO ), dinitrogen (N ) and water vapor.
