SCOOTER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your scooter can provide many years of service and pleasure – if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges that you can meet on the road.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You'll find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a few that we consider most important.
Always Wear a Helmet
It's a proven fact: Helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and make sure your passenger does the same.
We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves and other protective gear (page 2).
Make Yourself Easy to See
Some drivers do not see scooters because they are not looking for them. To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help others notice you.
Ride Within Your Limits
Pushing the limits is another major cause of scooter accidents. Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue and inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgements and ride safely.
Don't Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don't mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So don't drink and ride, and don't let your friends drink and ride either.
Keep Your Bike in Safe Conditions
For safe riding, it's important to inspect your scooter before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits and only use accessories that have been approved by Honda for this scooter.
See page 5 for more details.
PROTECTIVE APPAREL
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you choose proper gear.
WARNING
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger always wear a helmet, eye protection and other protective apparel when you ride.
Helmets and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. A bright-coloured helmet can make you more noticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
- Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.
- Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises.
- A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright-coloured and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your scooter.
ALWAYS wear a helmet. You should also wear a face shield or goggles.
Wear bright or reflective clothing.
Shoes should be close-fitting, have low heels and offer ankle protection.
LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES
Your scooter has been designed to carry you, one passenger and a limited amount of cargo. When you add cargo or carry a passenger, you may feel some difference during acceleration and braking. But so long as you keep your scooter well-maintained, with good tyres and brakes, you can safely carry loads within the given limits and guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit or carrying an unbalanced load can seriously affect your scooter's handling, braking and stability. Non-Honda accessories, improper modifications, and poor maintenance can also reduce your safety margin.
The following pages give more specific information on loading, accessories and modifications.
Loading
How much weight you put on your scooter and how you load it, are important to your safety. Anytime you ride with a passenger or cargo you should be aware of the following information.
WARNING
Overloading or improper loading can cause a crash and you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this manual.
Load limits
Following are the load limits for your scooter:
Maximum weight capacity:
180 kg (397 lbs)
Includes the weight of the rider, passenger, all cargo and all accessories.
Maximum cargo weight:
19 kg (42 lbs)
The weight of added accessories will reduce the maximum cargo weight you can carry.
Putting too much weight in individual storage compartments can also affect stability and handling. So be sure to stay within the limits given below:
Maximum weight:
in center compartment 10 kg (22 lbs)
in left compartment 0,5 kg (1.0 lbs)
shopping hook 1,5 kg (3.0 lbs)
rear carrier 3,0 kg (6.6 lbs)
Left compartment: weight limit: 0,5 kg (1.0 lbs)
Shopping hook: weight limit: 1,5 kg (3.0 lbs)
Loading Guidelines
Your scooter is primarily intended for transporting you and a passenger.
If you wish to carry more cargo, check with your Honda dealer for advice and be sure to read the information regarding accessories on page 8.
Improperly loading your scooter can affect its stability and handling. Even if your scooter is properly loaded, you should ride at reduced speeds whenever carrying cargo.
Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a passenger or cargo:
- Check that both tyres are properly inflated.
- If you change your normal load, you may need to adjust the rear suspension (see page 29).
- To prevent loose items from creating a hazard, make sure the left compartment and the center compartment are closed and that any other cargo is securely tied down before you ride away.
- Place cargo weight as close to the center of the scooter as possible.
• Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.
Accessories and modifications
Modifying your scooter or using non-Honda accessories can make your scooter unsafe. Before you consider making any modifications or adding an accessory, be sure to read the following information.
WARNING
Improper accessories or modifications can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's manual regarding accessories and modifications.
Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only genuine Honda accessories that have been specifically designed and tested for your scooter. Because Honda cannot test all other accessories, you must be personally responsible for proper selection, installation and use of non-Honda accessories. Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow these guidelines:
- Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle, limit suspension travel or steering travel, alter your riding position or interfere with operating any controls.
- Be sure electrical equipment does not exceed the scooter's electrical system capacity (page 128). A blown fuse can cause a loss of lights or engine power.
- Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your scooter. This scooter was not designed for these attachments, and their use can seriously impair your scooter's handling.
Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any original equipment or modify your scooter in any way that would change its design or operation. Such changes could seriously impair your scooter's handling, stability and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
Removing or modifying your lights, mufflers, emission control system or other equipment can also make your scooter illegal.

MAJOR COMPONENTS
(Information you need to operate this scooter)
SUSPENSION
Each shock absorber (1) has 5 adjustment positions for different load or riding conditions.
Use a pin spanner (2) to adjust the rear shock.
Always adjust the shock absorber position in sequence (1-2-3-4-5 or 5-4-3-2-1).
Attempting to adjuste directly from 1 to 5 or 5 to 1 may damage the schock absorber.
Position: 1 to 2 is for light loads and smooth road conditions. Standard position is 3.
Positions 4 to 5 increase spring preload for a stiffer rear suspension, and can be used when the scooter is heavily loaded.
Be certain to adjust both shock absorbers to the same position.
(1) Shock absorber
(2) Pin spanner
BRAKES
Combined Brake System (CBS)
This scooter is equipped with a Combined Brake System. Operating the rear brake lever applies the rear brake and a portion of the front brake. For full braking effectiveness, use both the front and rear brake lever simultaneously, as you would with a conventional scooter braking system.
As with a conventional scooter braking system, excessively hard application of the brake controls may cause wheel lock, reducing control of the scooter.
For normal braking, apply both the front and rear brake lever to match your road speed. For maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply the front and rear brake lever.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) (FES125A/150A)
This model is also equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) designed to help prevent wheel lock up during hard braking on uneven or other poor surfaces while running straight. Although the wheel may not lock up - if you are braking too hard in a turn the scooter can still lose traction, causing a loss of control.
In some situations, a scooter with ABS may require a longer stopping distance to stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an equivalent scooter without ABS.
ABS cannot make up for road conditions, bad judgement, or improper operation of the brakes. It is still your responsibility to ride at reasonable speeds for weather, road surface, and traffic conditions, and to leave a margin of safety.
ABS is self-checking and always on.
- ABS system may be activated by riding over a sharp drop or rise in the road level. It is important to follow the tyre recommendations (page 42). The ABS computer works by comparing wheel speed. Non recommended tyres can affect wheel speed and may confuse the ABS computer.
- ABS does not function at low speeds (approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or below).
- ABS does not function if the battery is discharged.
ABS Indicator Light (ABS) (FES125A/150A)
Normally, this light comes on when the ignition switch is turned ON and goes off after you ride the scooter at speed above 10 km/h (6 mph). If there is an ABS problem, the indicator light comes on and remains on. The ABS system does not operate when the ABS indicator light is on.
If the ABS indicator light comes on while riding, stop the scooter in a safe place and turn off the engine.
Turn the ignition switch ON again. The light should come on, and go off after you ride the scooter at speeds above 30 km/h (19 mph). If it does not go off, ABS is not functioning, but the brakes still work the Combined Brake System and provide normal stopping ability. However, you should have the system checked by your Honda dealer as soon as possible.
The ABS indicator light may come on if you turn the rear wheel while the scooter is upright on the stand. This is normal. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON. The indicator should come on and then go off after you run the scooter above 30 km/h (19 mph).
Inspection
Both the front and rear brakes are the hydraulic disc types.
As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level drops.
There are no adjustments to perform, but fluid level and pad wear must be inspected periodically. The system must be inspected frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks. If the control lever free travel becomes excessive, and the brake pads are not worn beyond the recommended limit (page 103-104), there is probably air in the brake system and it must be bled. See your Honda dealer for this service.
Front Brake Fluid Level
With the scooter in an upright position, check the fluid level. It should be above the LOWER level mark (1). If the level is at or below the LOWER level mark (1), check the brake pads for wear (page 103-104).
Worn pads must be replaced.
If the pads are not worn, have your brake system inspected for leaks.
The recommended brake fluid is Honda DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container, or an equivalent.

Rear Brake Fluid Level
With the scooter in an upright position, check the fluid level. It should be above the LOWER level mark (1). If the level is at or below the LOWER level mark (1), check the brake pads for wear (page 103-104).
Worn pads must be replaced.
If the pads are not worn, have your brake system inspected for leaks.
The recommended brake fluid is Honda DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container, or an equivalent.
Other checks:
Make sure there are no fluid leaks. Check for deterioration or cracks in the hoses and fittings.

COOLANT
Coolant recommendation
The owner must properly maintain the coolant to prevent freezing, overheating and corrosion. Use only high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion protection inhibitors specifically recommended for use in aluminum engines. (SEE ANTIFREEZE CONTAINER LABEL).
Use only low-mineral drinking water or distilled water as a part of the antifreeze solution. Water that is high in mineral content or salt may be harmful to the aluminum engine.
Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may cause premature wear of water pump seals or blockage of radiator passages.
Using tap water may cause engine damage.
The factory provides a 50/50 solution of antifreeze and distilled water in this scooter. This coolant solution is recommended for most operating temperatures and provides good corrosion protection. A higher concentration of antifreeze decreases the cooling system performance and is recommended only when additional protection against freezing is needed. A concentration of less than 40/60 (40% antifreeze) will not provide proper corrosion protection. During freezing temperatures, check the cooling system frequently and add higher concentrations of antifreeze (up to a maximum of 60% antifreeze) if required.
Inspection
The reserve tank is under the left side step board.
Check the coolant level in the reserve tank (1) while the engine is at the normal operating temperature with the scooter in an upright position. If the coolant level is below the LOWER level mark (3), pull the rubber floor mat (4) off, remove the coolant box cover (5) and reserve tank (6) and add coolant mixture until it reaches the UPPER level mark (2).
(1) Reserve tank
(2) UPPER level mark
(3) LOWER level mark
Always add coolant to the reserve tank. Do not attempt to add coolant by removing the radiator cap.
If the reserve tank is empty, or if coolant loss is excessive, check for leaks and see your Honda dealer for repair.

The use of leaded petrol will cause premature damage to the catalytic converter.
NOTICE
If “spark knock” or “pinking” occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, change brands of petrol. If spark knock or pinking persists, consult your Honda dealer. Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered by Honda Limited’s Warranty.
Petrol containing alcohol
If you decide to use a petrol containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure it's octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are two types of "gasohol": one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do not use petrol that contains more than 10% ethanol. Do not use petrol containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use petrol containing more than 5% methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain alcohol is 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
Engine oil level check
Check the engine oil level each day before riding the scooter.
The level must be maintained between the upper (1) and the lower (2) level marks on the oil filler cap/dipstick (3).
- Start the engine and let it idle for 3-5 minutes.
- Stop the engine and put the scooter on its center stand on level ground.
- After 2-3 minutes, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick (3), wipe it clean, and reinsert the oil filler cap/dipstick without screwing it in. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. The oil level should be between the upper (1) and lower (2) level marks on the oil filler cap/dipstick.
- If required, add the specified oil (page 91) up to the upper level mark. Do not overfill.
- Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick. Check for oil leaks.
NOTICE
Running the engine with insufficient oil pressure may cause serious engine damage.

TUBELESS TYRES
To safely operate your scooter, your tyres must be the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread and correctly inflated for the load you are carrying. The following pages give more detailed information on how and when to check your air pressure, how to inspect your tyres for damage and what to do when your tyres need to be repaired or replaced.
WARNING
Using tyres that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's manual regarding tyre inflation and maintenance.
Air pressure
Keeping your tyres properly inflated provides the best combination of handling, tread life and riding comfort. Generally, underinflated tyres wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and are more likely to fail from being overheated.
Overinflated tyres make your scooter ride more harshly, are more prone to damage from road hazards and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually check your tyres before every ride and use a gauge to measure air pressure at least once a month or any time you think the tyres might be low. Tubeless tyres have some self-sealing ability if they are punctured. However because leakage is often very slow, you should look closely for punctures whenever a tyre is not fully inflated.
Always check air pressure when your tyres are “cold” – when the scooter has been parked for at least three hours. If you check air pressure when your tyres are “warm” – when the scooter has been ridden for even a few miles – the readings will be higher than if the tyres were “cold”. This is normal, so do not let air out of the tyres to match the recommended cold air pressures given below. If you do, the tyres will be underinflated.
The recommended “cold” tyre pressures are:
| kPa (kgf/cm2,psi) | ||
| Driver only | Front | 175 (1.75, 25) |
| Rear | 200 (2.00, 29) | |
| Driver and one passenger | Front | 175 (1.75, 25) |
| Rear | 250 (2.50, 36) | |
Inspection
Whenever you check the tyre pressures, you should also examine the tyre treads and sidewalls for wear, damage, and foreign objects:
Look for:
- Bumps or bulges in the side of the tyre or the tread. Replace the tyre if you find any bumps or bulges.
- Cuts, splits or cracks in the tyre. Replace the tyre if you can see fabric or cord.
- Excessive tread wear.
Also, if you hit a pothole or hard object, pull to the side of the road as soon as you safely can and carefully inspect the tyres for damage.
Tread Wear
Replace tyres before tread depth at the centre of the tyre reaches the following limit:
| Minimum tread depth | |
| Front: 1.5 mm (0.06 in) | |
| Rear: 2.0 mm (0.08 in) |
< For Germany >
German law prohibits use of tyres whose tread depth is less than 1.6 mm.
(1) Wear indicator
(2) Wear indicator location mark
Tyre repair
If a tyre is punctured or damaged, you should replace it not repair it. As discussed below, a tyre that is repaired, either temporarily or permanently will have lower speed and performance limits than a new tyre.
A temporary repair, such as an external tubeless tyre plug may not be safe for normal speeds and riding conditions. If a temporary or emergency repair is made to a tyre, you should ride slowly and cautiously to a dealer and have the tyre replaced. If possible you should not carry a passenger or cargo until a new tyre is installed. Even if a tyre is professionally repaired with a permanent internal patch plug, it will not be as good as a new tyre.
You should not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) for the first 24 hours, or 130 km/h (80 mph) at any time thereafter. In addition you may not be able to safely carry as much weight as with a new tyre. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you replace a damaged tyre. If you choose to have the tyre repaired, be sure the wheel is balanced before you ride.
Tyre replacement
The tyres that came on your scooter were designed to match the performance capabilities of your scooter and provide the best combination of handling, braking, durability and comfort.
WARNING
Installing improper tyres on your scooter can affect handling and stability. This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tyres recommended in this owner's manual.
The recommended tyres for your scooter are:
| Front | 110/90-13 M/C 56LBRIDGESTONEHOOP B03 FIRCMB99 |
| Rear | 130/70-12 62LBRIDGESTONEHOOP B02 FIRCMB99 |
| Type TUBELESS | |
Whenever you replace a tyre, use one that is equivalent to the original and be sure the wheel is balanced after the new tyre is installed.
Important safety reminders
- Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tyre on this scooter. Excessive heat build-up can cause the tube to burst.
- Use only tubeless tyres on this scooter. The rims are designed for tubeless tyres and during hard acceleration or braking a tube-type tyre could slip on the rim and cause the tyre to rapidly deflate.

For your safety, it is very important to take a few moments before each ride to walk around your scooter and check its condition. If you detect any problem, be sure you take care of it or have it repaired by your Honda dealer.
WARNING
Improperly maintaining this scooter or failing to correct a problem before riding can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always perform a pre-ride inspection before every ride and correct any problems.
- Engine oil level - add engine oil if require (page 41). Check for leaks.
- Fuel level - fill fuel tank when necessary (page 37). Check for leaks.
- Coolant level - add coolant if required. Check for leaks (pages 35-36).
- Front and rear brakes - check operation; make sure there is no brake fluid leakage (pages 30-32).
- Tyres - check condition and pressure (pages 42-47).
-
Throttle - check for smooth opening and full closing in all steering positions.
-
Lights and horn - Check that the headlight, brake/tail light, turn signals, indicator lights and horn are all working properly.
- Side stand ignition cut-off system - check for proper function (page 102).
STARTING THE ENGINE
Always follow the proper starting procedure described below.
This scooter has a fuel-injected engine with an automatic choke.
This scooter is equipped with a side stand ignition cut-off system. The engine cannot be started if the side stand is down.
A running engine will shut off if the side stand is lowered.
To protect the catalytic converter in your scooter's exhaust system, avoid extending idling and use of leaded petrol.
Your scooter's exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. High levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even with the door open, run the engine only long enough to move your scooter out of the garage.
Do not use the electric starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. Release the starter button for approximately 10 seconds before pressing it again.
Preparation
- Place the scooter on its center stand.
- Turn the ignition switch (1) to ON.
Confirm the following:
- The PGM-FI malfunction indicator lamp is OFF.
- The ABS indicator is ON (page 16) (FES125A/150A).
(1) Ignition switch
- Squeeze the rear brake lever (2). The electrical starter will only work when the rear brake lever is squeezed and the side stand is up.
CAUTION
Contact with the spinning rear wheel can cause you to be hurt.
- With the throttle completely closed, push the start button (3). Release the starter button as soon as the engine starts.
The engine will not start if the throttle is fully open (because the electronic control module cuts off the fuel supply).
(3) Starter button(2) Rear brake lever
- Be sure to keep the throttle closed locked while warming up the engine.
- Allow the engine to warm up before riding (see "RIDING" page 69).
Do not "BLIP" the throttle (open and close rapidly) as the scooter will move forward suddenly.
Do not leave the scooter unattended while the engine is warming up.
Snapping the throttle or fast idling for more than about 5 minutes at normal air temperature may cause exhaust pipe discolouration.
Ignition cut-off
Your scooter is designed to automatically stop the engine and fuel pump if the scooter is over-turned (a banking sensor cuts off the ignition system). Before restarting the engine, you must turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and then back to ON.
RUNNING-IN
Help assure your scooter's future reliability and performance by paying extra attention to how you ride during the first 500 km (300 miles).
During this period avoid, full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
RIDING
Review scooter safety (pages 1-9) before you ride.
Make sure flammable materials such as dry grass or leaves do not come in contact with the exhaust system when riding, idling or parking your scooter.
- Make sure the throttle (1) is closed (page 67) before moving the scooter off the center stand.
- Stand on the left side of the scooter and push it forward off the center stand.

Grasp the handlebars firmly with both hands.
Never attempt one-handed operation: loss of vehicle control could result.
-
To accelerate, open the throttle (1) gradually; the scooter will move forward. Do not "BLIP" the throttle (open and close rapidly) as the scooter will move forward suddenly, causing possible loss of control.
-
To decelerate, close throttle.
- When slowing down the scooter, coordination of the throttle (1) and front (2) and rear brakes (3), is most important.
Both front and rear brakes should be applied together. Independent use of only the front or rear brake reduces stopping performance.
Excessive brake application may cause either wheel to lock, reducing control of the scooter.
(1) Throttle (2) Front brake
(3) Rear brake
-
When approaching a corner or turn, close the throttle (1) fully, and slow the scooter down by applying both front (2) and rear (3) brakes at the same time.

MAINTENANCE
THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE
A well maintained scooter is essential for safe, economical and trouble-free riding. It will also help reduce air pollution.
To help you properly care for your scooter, the following pages include a Maintenance Schedule and a Maintenance Record for regularly scheduled maintenance.
These instructions are based on the assumption that the scooter will be used exclusively for its designed purpose. Sustained high speed operation or operation in unusually wet or dusty conditions will require more frequent service than specified in the Maintenance Schedule. Consult your Honda Dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
If your scooter overturns or becomes involved in a crash, be sure your Honda dealer inspects all major parts, even if you are able to make some repairs.
WARNING
Improperly maintaining this scooter or failing to correct a problem before you ride can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this owner's manual.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
This section includes instructions on some important maintenance tasks. You can perform some of these tasks with the tools provided – if you have basic mechanical skills.
Other tasks that are more difficult and require special tools are best performed by professionals. Wheel removal should normally be handled only by a Honda technician or other qualified mechanic; instructions are included in this manual only to assist in emergency service.
Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.
WARNING
Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the procedures and precautions in this owner's manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will help eliminate several potential hazards;
• Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
- Burns from hot parts.
Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
- Injury from moving parts.
Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.

CLEANING
Clean your scooter regularly to protect the surface finishes and inspect for damage, wear, and oil, coolant or brake fluid leakage.
Avoid cleaning products that are not specifically designed for scooter or automobile surfaces.
They may contain harsh detergents or chemical solvents that could damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your scooter.
If the scooter is still warm from recent operation give the engine and exhaust system time to cool off.
We recommend avoiding the use of high pressure water spray (typical in coin-operated car washes).
NOTICE
High pressure water (or air) can damage certain parts of the scooter.
Washing the scooter
- Rinse the scooter thoroughly with cool water to remove loose dirt.
- Clean the scooter with a sponge or soft cloth using cool water.
Avoid directing water to muffler outlets and electrical parts.
- Clean the plastic parts using a cloth or sponge dampened with a solution of mild detergent and water. Rub the soiled area gently rinsing it frequently with fresh water.
Take care to keep brake fluid or chemical solvents off the scooter.
They will damage the plastic and painted surfaces.
The inside of the headlight lens may be clouded immediately after washing the scooter. Moisture condensation inside the headlight lens will disappear gradually by lighting the headlight in high beam. Run the engine while keeping the headlight on.
- After cleaning, rinse the scooter thoroughly with plenty of clean water. Strong detergent residue can corrode alloy parts.
- Dry the scooter, start the engine and let it run for several minutes.
- Test the brakes before riding the scooter. Several applications may be necessary to restore normal braking performance.
natural_image
Line drawing of a person cleaning a motorcycle with a tool (no text or symbols)Braking efficiency may be temporarily impaired immediately after washing the scooter. Anticipate longer stopping distance to avoid a possible accident.
Finishing Touches
After washing your scooter, consider using a commercially available spray cleaner/polish or quality liquid or paste wax to finish the job. Use only a non-abrasive polish or wax made specifically for motorcycles or automobiles. Apply the polish or wax according to the instructions on the container.
Removing Road Salt
The salt contained in the road surface freezing prevention medicine which a road was sprayed with in winter, and the seawater becomes the cause which rust occurs in.
Wash your scooter by the following point after it runs through such a place:
- Clean the scooter using cool water (page 118).
Do not use warm water.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
- Dry the scooter and protect the surface of the metal with wax.
Painted Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
Aluminum may corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean the wheels after riding through any of these substances. Use a wet sponge and mild detergent. Avoid stiff brushes, steel wool, or cleaners containing abrasives or chemical compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean cloth.
Exhaust Pipe Maintenance
The exhaust pipe is steel but may become stained by oil or mud. If necessary, remove heat stains with a liquid abrasive.
Clean The Windshield
Using plenty of water, clean the windshield with a soft cloth or sponge, (avoid using detergents or any kind of chemical cleaner on the windshield). Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
To avoid possible scratching or other damage, use only water and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the windshield.
For a dirtier windshield, use a diluted neutral detergent with a sponge and plenty of water.
Make sure to wash off all the detergent, (Detergent residue may cause windshield cracks).
Replace the windshield if scratches cannot be removed and they obstruct clear vision.
Do not let battery electrolyte, brake fluid or other acid chemicals get on the windshield and screen garnish.
They will damage the plastic.
STORAGE GUIDE
Extended storage, such as for winter, requires that you take certain steps to reduce the effects of deterioration from non-use of the scooter. In addition, necessary repairs should be made BEFORE storing the scooter; otherwise these repairs may be forgotten by the time the scooter is removed from storage.
STORAGE
- Change the engine oil.
- Make sure the cooling system is filled with a 50/50% antifreeze solution.
- Empty the fuel tank into an approved petrol container using a commercially available hand siphon or an equivalent method. Spray the inside of the tank with an aerosol rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel fill cap on the tank.
WARNING
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
- Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks and flame away.
- Refuel only outdoors.
-
Wipe up spills immediately.
-
To prevent rusting in the cylinder, perform the following:
-
Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug. Using tape or string, secure the cap to any convenient plastic body part so that they are positioned away from the spark plug.
- Remove the spark plug from the engine and store it in a safe place. Do not connect the spark plug to the spark plug cap.
- Pour a tablespoon (15-20 cm ^3 ) of clean engine oil into the cylinder and cover the spark plug hole with a piece of cloth.
- Crank the engine several times to distribute the oil.
-
Reinstall correctly the spark plug and spark plug cap.
-
Remove the battery. Store it in an area protected from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight.
Slow charge the battery once a month. - Wash and dry the scooter. Wax all painted surfaces. Coat chrome with rustinhibiting oil.
- Inflate the tyres to the recommended pressures. Place the scooter on blocks to raise both tyres off the ground.
- Cover the scooter (do not use plastic or other coated materials) and store in an unheated area, free of dampness with a minimum of daily temperature variation. Do not store the scooter in direct sunlight.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
- Uncover and clean the scooter.
- Change the engine oil if more than 4 months have passed since the start of storage.
- Charge the battery as required. Install the battery.
- Drain any excess aerosol rust-inhibiting oil from the fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank with fresh petrol.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
This scooter is equipped with a catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts, promoting chemical reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals.
The catalytic converter acts on HC, CO, and NOx. A replacement unit must be an original Honda part or its equivalent.
The catalytic converter must operate at a high temperature for the chemical reactions to take place. It can set on fire any combustible materials that come near it.
Park your scooter away from high grasses, dry leaves, or other flammables.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to air pollution, and can impair your engine's performance. Follow these guidelines to protect your scooter's catalytic converter.
- Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small amount of leaded petrol can contaminate the catalyst metals, making the catalytic converter ineffective.
- Keep the engine tuned-up.
- Have your scooter diagnosed and repaired if it is misfiring, backfiring, stalling or otherwise not running properly.
