A Few Words About Safety

Your safety, and the safety of others, is very

important. Operating this motorcycle safely is

an important responsibility.

To help you make informed decisions about

safety, we have provided operating

procedures and other information on safety

labels and in this manual. This information

alerts you to potential hazards that could

hurt you or others.

HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

3WARNING

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY

HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

3CAUTION

You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow

instructions.

Other important information is

provided under the following titles:

NOTICE Information to help you avoid

damage to your motorcycle,

other property, or the

environment.

Motorcycle Safety

Safety Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety:

●Perform all routine and regular inspections

specified in this manual.

●Stop the engine and keep sparks and flame

away before filling the fuel tank.

●Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly

enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in

exhaust gases is toxic and can kill you.

Always Wear a Helmet

It's a proven fact: helmets and protective

apparel significantly reduce the number and

severity of head and other injuries. So always

wear an approved motorcycle helmet and

protective apparel. P. 92

Before Riding

Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally

focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check

that you and your passenger are both wearing

an approved motorcycle helmet and protective

apparel. Instruct your passenger on holding

onto the grab rails or your waist, leaning with

you in turns, and keeping their feet on the

footpegs, even when the motorcycle is stopped.

Take Time to Learn & Practice

Even if you have ridden other motorcycles,

practice riding in a safe area to become familiar

with how this motorcycle works and handles,

and to become accustomed to the motorcycle's

size and weight.

We recommend that all riders take a certified

course approved by the Motorcycle Safety

Foundation (MSF). New riders should start with

the basic course, and even experienced riders

will find the advanced course beneficial.

USA

Other riding tips can be found in the You

and Your Motorcycle Riding Tips booklet that

came with your motorcycle.

Ride Defensively

Always pay attention to other vehicles around

you, and do not assume that other drivers see

you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an

evasive maneuver.

Make Yourself Easy to See

Make yourself more visible, especially at night,

by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioning

yourself so other drivers can see you, signaling

before turning or changing lanes, and using

your horn when necessary.

Ride within Your Limits

Never ride beyond your personal abilities or

faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and

inattention can impair your ability to use good

judgment and ride safely.

Don't Drink and Ride

Alcohol and riding don't mix. Even one alcoholic

drink can reduce your ability to respond to

changing conditions, and your reaction time

gets worse with every additional drink. Don't

drink and ride, and don't let your friends drink

and ride either.

Safety Guidelines

Motorcycle Safety

Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition

It's important to keep your motorcycle properly

maintained and in safe riding condition.

Inspect your motorcycle before every ride and

perform all recommended maintenance. Never

exceed load limits ( P. 15), and do not modify2

your motorcycle or install accessories that

would make your motorcycle unsafe ( P. 14).2

If You are Involved in a Crash

Personal safety is your first priority. If you or

anyone else has been injured, take time to

assess the severity of the injuries and whether it

is safe to continue riding. Call for emergency

assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws

and regulations if another person or vehicle is

involved in the crash.

If you decide to continue riding, first turn the

ignition switch to the OFF position, and evaluate

the condition of your motorcycle. Inspect for

fluid leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts

and bolts, and check the handlebar, control

levers, brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly and

cautiously.

Your motorcycle may have suffered damage

that is not immediately apparent. Have your

motorcycle thoroughly checked at a qualified

service facility as soon as possible.

Safety Guidelines

Motorcycle Safety

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a

colorless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon

monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and

may lead to death.

If you run the engine in confined or even partly

enclosed area, the air you breathe could

contain a dangerous amount of carbon

monoxide.

Never run your motorcycle inside a garage or

other enclosure.

3WARNING

Running the engine of your motorcycle

while in an enclosed or even partially

enclosed area can cause a rapid build-

up of toxic carbon monoxide gas.

Breathing this colorless, odorless gas

can quickly cause unconsciousness and

lead to death.

Only run your motorcycle's engine

when it is located in a well ventilated

area outdoors.

Safety Guidelines

Motorcycle Safety

Safety Labels

Safety and information labels on your

motorcycle provide important safety

information and may warn you of potential

hazards that could cause serious injury. Read

these labels carefully and don't remove them.

If a label comes off or becomes hard to read,

contact your dealer for a replacement.

●Keep passenger's hands onto the grab rails

or your waist, passenger's feet on the

footpegs while riding.

●Always consider the safety of your

passenger, as well as other drivers and

riders.

Protective Apparel

Make sure that you and any passenger are

wearing an approved motorcycle helmet, eye

protection, and high-visibility protective

clothing. Ride defensively in response to

weather and road conditions.

Helmet

Should be safety-standard certified, high-

visibility, and correct size for your head

●Must fit comfortably but securely, with the

chin strap fastened.

●Face shield with unobstructed field of vision

or other approved eye protection

USA

Look for a DOT (Department of

Transportation) certification label on any helmet

you buy.

3WARNING

Not wearing a helmet increases the

chance of serious injury or death in a

crash.

Make sure that you and any passenger

always wear an approved helmet and

protective apparel.

resistance

Safety Precautions

Motorcycle Safety

Continued

Boots or Riding Shoes

Sturdy boots with non-slip soles and ankle

protection

Jacket and Pants

Protective, highly visible, long-sleeved jacket

and durable long pants for riding (or a

protective suit)

Riding Precautions

Break-in Period

During the first 300 miles (500 km) of running,

follow these guidelines to ensure your

motorcycle's future reliability and performance.

●Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid

acceleration.

●Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.

●Ride conservatively.

Brakes

Observe the following guidelines:

●Avoid excessively hard braking and

downshifting.

uSudden braking can reduce the

motorcycle's stability.

uWhere possible, reduce speed before

turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.

Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety

●Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.

uThe tires slip more easily on such

surfaces and braking distances are

longer.

●Avoid continuous braking.

uRepeated braking, such as when

descending long, steep slopes can

seriously overheat the brakes, reducing

their effectiveness. Use engine braking

with intermittent use of the brakes to

reduce speed.

●For full braking effectiveness, operate both

the front and rear brakes together.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

CB500XA only

This model is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake

System (ABS) designed to help prevent the

brakes from locking up during hard braking.

●ABS does not reduce braking distance. In

certain circumstances, ABS may result in a

longer stopping distance.

●ABS does not function at speeds below

6 mph (10 km/h).

●The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly

when applying the brakes. This is normal.

●Always use the recommended front/rear

tires and sprockets to ensure correct ABS

operation.

Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety

Continued

Engine Braking

Engine braking helps slow your motorcycle

down when you release the throttle. For further

slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use

engine braking with intermittent use of the

brakes to reduce speed when descending long,

steep slopes.

Wet or Rainy Conditions

Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet

brakes further reduce braking efficiency.

Exercise extra caution when braking in wet

conditions.

If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while

riding at low speed to help them dry.

Parking

●Park on a firm, level surface.

●If you must park on a slight incline or loose

surface, park so that the motorcycle 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 handlebar and remove the key when

leaving the motorcycle unattended.

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 motorcycle to the left until its

weight rests on the side stand.

Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety

Turn the handlebar fully to the left.

uTurning the handlebar to the right

reduces stability and may cause the

motorcycle to fall.

Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK

position and remove the key. P. 342

Refueling and Fuel Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to protect the engine,

fuel system and catalytic converter:

●Use only unleaded gasoline.

●Use recommended octane number. Using

lower octane gasoline will result in

decreased engine performance.

●Do not use fuels containing a high

concentration of alcohol. P. 1232

●Do not use stale or contaminated gasoline

or an oil/gasoline mixture.

●Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety

Drive Chain

The drive chain must be inspected and

lubricated regularly. Inspect the chain more

frequently if you often ride on bad roads, ride at

high speed, or ride with repeated fast

acceleration. P. 762

If the chain does not move smoothly, makes

strange noises, has damaged rollers, has loose

pins, has missing O-rings, or kinks, have the

chain inspected by your dealer.

Continued

Also inspect the drive sprocket and driven

sprocket. If either has worn or damaged teeth,

have the sprocket replaced by your dealer.

NOTICE

Use of a new chain with worn sprockets will cause

rapid chain wear.

Cleaning and Lubricating

After inspecting the slack, clean the chain and

sprockets while rotating the rear wheel. Use a dry

cloth with chain cleaner designed specifically for

O-ring chains, or neutral detergent. Use a soft

brush if the chain is dirty.

After cleaning, wipe dry and lubricate with the

recommended lubricant.

(REPLACE)

Do not use a steam cleaner, a high pressure

cleaner, a wire brush, volatile solvent such as

gasoline and benzene, abrasive cleaner, chain

cleaner or lubricant NOT designed specifically

for O-ring chains as these can damage the

rubber O-ring seals.

Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tires.

Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to prevent

spray onto your clothes and the motorcycle.

Recommended Coolant

Pro Honda HP Coolant is a pre-mixed solution

of antifreeze and distilled water.

Concentration:

50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water

A concentration of antifreeze below 40% will

not provide proper corrosion and cold

Using coolant not specified for aluminum

engines or tap/mineral water can cause

corrosion.
