The motorcycle presents you a challenge to master the machine, a challenge to adventure. You
ride through the wind, linked to the road by a vehicle that responds to your commands as no
other does. Unlike an automobile, there is no metal cage around you. Like an airplane, a pre-
ride inspection and regular maintenance are essential to your safety. Your reward is freedom.
To meet the challenges safely, and to enjoy the adventure fully, you should become thoroughly
familiar with this owner's manual BEFORE YOU RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE.
As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded by a symbol.
This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your motorcycle, other property, or
the environment.
When service is required, remember that your Honda dealer knows your motorcycle best. If you
have the required mechanical “know-how” and tools, your dealer can supply you with an official
Honda Service Manual to help you perform many maintenance and repair tasks.
Pleasant riding, and thank you for choosing a Honda!
