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
motorcycle. The level must be maintained between the
upper (1) and lower (2) level marks on the dipstick (3).
1. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
2. Stop the engine and hold the motorcycle in an
upright position on firm, level ground.
3. After a few minutes, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick
(3), wipe it clean, and reinsert the dipstick without
screwing it in. Remove the dipstick. The oil level
should be between the UPPER (1) and LOWER (2)
level marks on the dipstick.
4. If required, add the specified oil (see page 49) up to
the upper level mark. Do not overfill.
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick. Check for oil leaks.
NOTICE
Running the engine with insufficient oil pressure may
cause serious engine damage.
