Riding Precautions

Parking

  • Park on a firm, level surface.
  • If you must park on a slight incline or loose surface, park so that the vehicle cannot move or fall over.
  • Make sure that high-temperature parts cannot come into contact with flammable materials.
  • Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes and other high-temperature parts until they cool down.
  • To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock the handlebars (), and leave your vehicle while taking the Honda SMART Key with you.
  • Deactivate the Honda SMART Key system if necessary.

    Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.

    Parking with the Side Stand

  • Stop the engine.
  • Push the side stand down.
  • Slowly lean the vehicle to the left until its weight rests on the side stand.
  • Turn the handlebars fully to the left.
  • Turning the handlebars to the right reduces stability and may cause the vehicle to fall.
  • Lock the steering.
  • Then, leave your vehicle while taking the Honda SMART Key with you. Deactivate the Honda SMART Key system if necessary.
