XM Radio (USA only)

(Models equipped with Navigation System)

Your motorcycle is capable of receiving XM Satellite Radio anywhere in the

United States, except Hawaii and Alaska. XM is a registered trade mark of XM

Satellite Radio, Inc.

XM Satellite Radio receives signals from two satellites to produce clear, high-

quality digital reception. It offers many channels in several categories. Along

with a large selection of different types of music, XM Satellite Radio also

allows you to view channel and category selections in the audio display.

Receiving Satellite Radio Service

If your XM radio service has expired or you purchased your motorcycle from a

previous owner, you can listen to a sampling of the broadcasts available on XM

Satellite Radio. With the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY or the ON

position, press the XM button. A variety of music types and styles will play.

XM Radio (USA only)

The XM satellites are in orbit over the equator; therefore, objects south of the

vehicle may cause satellite reception interruptions. To help compensate for this,

ground-based repeaters are placed in major metropolitan areas.

Satellite signals are more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and mountains

the farther north you travel from the equator. Carrying large items on a travel

trunk can also block the signal.

Depending on where you ride, you may experience reception problems.

Interference can be caused by any of these conditions:

Riding on the north side of an east/west mountain road.

Riding on the north side of a large commercial truck on an east/west road.

Riding in tunnels.

Riding on a road beside a vertical wall, steep cliff, or hill to the south of you.

Riding on the lower level of a multi-tiered road.

Riding on a single-lane road alongside dense trees taller than 50 ft. (15 m) to

the south of you.

There may be other geographic situations, parking conditions, and also installing

metallic or metalized accessories near the windscreen could affect XM radio

reception.

As required by the FCC:

Changes or modif ications not expressly approved by the party responsible f or

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Signal may be blocked by

mountains or large

obstacles to the south.

The Importance of Maintenance

Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is absolutely essential to your safety.

It’s also a good way to protect your investment, get maximum performance,

avoid breakdowns, and have more fun. A properly maintained motorcycle will

also help to reduce air pollution.

Remember, proper maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. Be sure to inspect

your motorcycle before each ride, perform the periodic checks, and follow the

Maintenance Schedule in this section.

Improperly maintaining this

motorcycle 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.

If your motorcycle overturns or is involved in a crash, be sure your Honda

dealer inspects all major parts, even if you are able to make some of the repairs

yourself.

140

Servicing Your Honda

Maintenance Safety

This section includes instructions on how to perform some important

maintenance tasks. If you have basic mechanical skills, you can perform many

of these tasks with the tools provided with your motorcycle.

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.

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.

Servicing Your Honda

141

Maintenance Safety

Important 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 motorcycle parts.

Let the engine and exhaust system cool

before touching.

Injury from moving parts.

Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.

Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and

skills required.

To help prevent the motorcycle from falling over, park it on a firm, level

surface, using the center stand.

To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working

around gasoline. Use only non-flammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts.

Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related parts.

Remember that your Honda dealer knows your motorcycle best and is fully

equipped to maintain and repair it. To ensure the best quality and reliability, use

only new Honda Genuine Parts or their equivalents for repair and replacement.

If you have the tools and skills required for additional maintenance jobs, you

can purchase an official Honda Service Manual (page

258

142

Servicing Your Honda

Periodic Maintenance

In addition to the regularly scheduled maintenance (page

) and daily pre-ride

144

inspection (page

), consider performing the periodic checks on the following

page at least once a month, even if you haven’t ridden your motorcycle, or as

often as once a week if you ride frequently or for long distances. It’s a good idea

to perform this maintenance any time you clean your motorcycle.

Check the odometer reading and perform any scheduled maintenance checks

that are needed (page144). Remember, more frequent checks may be needed for

riding in severe conditions.

Tires

Check the air pressure with a gauge and add air if needed

(page

190

Wheels

Examine the tread for wear (page

191

Look closely for nails, embedded objects, cuts, and other

types of damage (page

). Rotate the rear wheel so

191

you can inspect the entire surface.

Check the condition of the wheels.

Fluids

Check the levels of the engine oil (page

166

), coolant

(page

171), brake fluid (page

185

), clutch fluid

(page

177

), and final drive oil (page

174). Add the

correct fluid as necessary, and investigate the cause of

any low fluid level.

Lights

Make sure the headlight, brakelight, taillight, and turn

signals are working properly.

Fuses

Make sure you have a full supply of spare fuses.

Nuts & Bolts

Check the major fasteners and tighten as needed.

143

Maintenance Schedule

The required Maintenance Schedule that follows specifies how often you should

have your motorcycle serviced, and what things need attention. It is essential to

have your motorcycle serviced as scheduled to maintain safe, dependable

performance and proper emission control.

The service intervals in this Maintenance Schedule are based on average riding

conditions. Some items will need more frequent service if you ride in unusually

wet or dusty areas or at full throttle. Consult your Honda dealer for

recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.

Some items in the Maintenance Schedule can be performed with basic

mechanical skills and hand tools. Procedures for these items are provided in this

manual. Other items involve more extensive procedures and may require special

training, tools, and equipment. We recommend that you have your Honda dealer

perform these tasks unless you have advanced mechanical skills and the required

tools and equipment. Procedures for such items in this schedule are provided in

an official Honda Service Manual available for purchase (page 258 ).

144

Servicing Your Honda

Maintenance Schedule

If you do not feel capable of performing a given task or need assistance,

remember that your Honda dealer knows your motorcycle best and is fully

equipped to maintain and repair it. If you decide to do your own maintenance,

use only Honda Genuine Parts or their equivalents for repair or replacement to

ensure the best quality and reliability.

Perform the pre-ride inspection (page

47) and owner maintenance (page146) at

each scheduled maintenance period.

The following items require some mechanical knowledge. Certain items

ˎˎ

(particularly those marked

and

) may require more technical information

and tools. Consult your Honda dealer.

Should be serviced by your Honda dealer, unless you have the proper tools

and service data and are mechanically qualified. Refer to the official Honda
