Steering Lock

Lock the steering when parking to help prevent theft.

A U-shaped wheel lock or similar device is also recommended.

When using a U-shaped wheel lock or similar device, be careful not to damage the wheels.

Locking

Turn the ignition switch knob / (Off/Lock) counterclockwise to turn off the electrical system.

Turn the handlebar all the way to the left.

b Ignition switch knob / (Off/Lock) c Turn and hold Steering lock indicator

Turn and hold the ignition switch knob / (Off/Lock) counterclockwise.

The steering lock indicator comes on briefly and the steering is automatically locked.

If the steering lock indicator blinks and the alarm sounds, the steering has not been locked completely because the steering was not positioned all the way to the left.

If this occurs, reposition the handlebar all the way to the left, then turn and hold the ignition switch counterclockwise (The steering can also be locked by positioning it all the way to the left while the alarm is sounding).

Unlocking

Make sure that the Honda SMART Key is activated and enter the operating range.

Push the ignition (On) switch.

The steering is unlocked automatically.

If the steering lock indicator blinks, the steering is not unlocked because of excessive force on the steering.

If this occurs, reposition the handlebar all the way to the left, then push the ignition (On) switch. (The steering can also be unlocked by positioning it all the way to the left within seconds after the steering lock indicator start blinking).
