OWNER’S MANUAL
Introduction
Introduction
I nt ro duc t ion
Congratulations on choosing your Honda ATV.
When you own a Honda, you’re part of a worldwide family of
satisfied customers — people who appreciate Honda’s reputation
for building quality into every product.
Your Honda was designed as a recreational ATV for off-road use by
one rider only.
Before riding, take time to get acquainted with your ATV and how it
works. To protect your investment, we urge you to take
responsibility for keeping your ATV well maintained. Scheduled
service is a must, of course. But it’s just as important to observe the
break-in guidelines, and perform all pre-ride and other periodic
checks detailed in this manual.
We also recommend that you read this owner’s manual before you
ride. It’s full of facts, instructions, safety information, and helpful
tips. To make it easy to use, the manual contains a detailed list of
topics at the beginning of each section and an index at the back of
the book.
As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded
by a symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid
damage to your Honda, other property, or the environment.
Read the Warranties Booklet (page 193) thoroughly so you
understand the coverages that protect your new Honda and are
aware of your rights and responsibilities.
Whenever you ride, tread lightly. By staying on established trails and
riding only in approved areas, you help protect the environment and
keep off-road riding areas open for the future.
NOTICE
ATV Safety 3
Important Safety Information
Ride Off-road Only
Your ATV is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The
tires are not made for pavement, and the ATV does not have turn
signals and other features required for use on public roads. If you
need to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your ATV
across.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other ATVs, take time to become familiar
with how this ATV works and handles. Practice in a safe area until
you build your skills and get accustomed to the ATV’s size and
weight.
Because many crashes involve inexperienced or untrained riders, we
urge all riders to take a ATV operator course approved by the ATV
Safety Institute (ASI). See page 28.
Contact an authorized ATV dealer or call 1-800-887-2887 to find
out about the training courses nearest you.
Be Alert for Off-road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you ride off-
road. Continually “read” the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs,
rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough
to allow time to see and react to hazards.
ATV Safety

Important Safety Information
Ride within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of ATV crashes. Never ride
beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant.
Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can
significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and ride
safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability
to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets
worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t
let your friends drink and ride either.
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It’s important to keep your ATV properly maintained and in safe
riding condition. Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if
you are stranded off-road far from your base. To help avoid
problems, inspect your ATV before every ride and perform all
recommended maintenance.
ATV Safety 5
Safety Labels
Your ATV comes with a hang tag and several labels containing
important safety information. Anyone who rides the vehicle should
read and understand this information before riding.
The labels should be considered permanent parts of the vehicle. If a
label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your dealer for
replacements.

Are You Ready to Ride?
Before you ride your ATV for the first time, we urge you to:
• Read this owner’s manual and the labels on your ATV carefully.
• Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
• Know how to operate all the controls.
Before each ride, be sure:
• You feel well and are in good physical and mental condition.
• You are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet (with chin strap
tightened securely), eye protection, and other protective
clothing.
• You don’t have any alcohol or drugs in your system.
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an
approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long
pants, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride.
Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear
can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you choose the proper gear.
Helmet and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it
offers the best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit
your head comfortably and securely.
Protective Apparel
Before Riding 27
Are You Ready to Ride?
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet
offers more. Regardless of the style, look for a DOT (Department of
Transportation) sticker on any helmet you buy. Always wear a face
shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
• Sturdy off-road motorcycle boots to help protect your feet,
ankles, and lower legs.
• Off-road motorcycle gloves to help protect your hands.
• Riding pants with knee and hip pads, a riding jersey with padded
elbows, and a chest/shoulder protector.
3
WARNING
Operating this ATV without wearing an
approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection,
and protective clothing could increase your
chances of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.
Always wear an approved motorcycle helmet
that fits properly and wear eye protection
(goggles or face shield), gloves, boots,
long-sleeved shirt or jacket and long pants.
Before Riding
28

Is Your ATV Ready to Ride?
Before each ride, it’s important to inspect your ATV and make sure
any problem you find is corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a must,
not only for safety, but because having a breakdown, or even a flat
tire, can be a major inconvenience.
If your ATV has overturned or been involved in a collision, do not ride
the vehicle until it has been inspected by your dealer. There may be
damage or other problems you cannot see.
Check the following items before you get on the ATV:

Load Limits & Guidelines
Your Honda was designed as a rider-only ATV. It was not designed
to carry a passenger or cargo. A passenger or cargo could interfere
with your ability to move around to maintain your balance and
control of the ATV.
In addition, exceeding the weight limits or carrying an unbalanced
load can seriously affect your ATV’s handling, braking and stability.
Adding accessories or making modifications that change this ATV’s
design and performance can also make it unsafe. Also, the weight of
any accessories will reduce the maximum load the ATV can carry.
More specific information on load limits, accessories, and
modifications follows.
How much weight you put on your ATV, and how you load it, are
important to your safety. If you decide to carry cargo, you should be
aware of the following information.
Loading
3
WARNING
Overloading, improper loading, or carrying a
passenger can cause a crash and you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading
guidelines in this manual.
Before Riding 35
Load Limits & Guidelines
Following are the load limits for your ATV:
There are limits to how much weight can be carried on your ATV.
The following load limits apply to standard equipment only.
Modifying your ATV, using non-standard equipment, or riding on
terrain that is not flat and smooth could further reduce these limits.
The weight of added accessories will reduce the maximum cargo
weight you can carry.
Load Limits
maximum weight capacity 243 lb (110 kg)
(includes the weight of the rider, all cargo, and accessories.)
Before Riding
36
Load Limits & Guidelines
As discussed on page 34, we recommend that you do not carry any
cargo on this ATV. However, if you decide to carry cargo, ride at
reduced speeds and follow these common-sense guidelines.
Carrying cargo or pulling a trailer will affect how your ATV handles
and greatly reduce its ability in accelerating, braking and making
turns and other maneuvers.
Be sure to observe the weight limits and follow these guidelines:
• Check that the tires are properly inflated.
• Never ride with a passenger. The ATV is not designed to carry a
passenger.
• Do not tow another vehicle.
• Make sure all cargo is secured before riding.
• Never exceed the maximum weight limit.
• Allow extra room for starting, stopping and turning whenever
you carry cargo or pull a trailer.
• Avoid riding on steep slopes when carrying cargo or pulling a
trailer.
• Never cross a slope when towing a trailer.
Loading Guidelines
Before Riding 37
Accessories & Modifications
Modifying your ATV or using non-Honda accessories can make your
ATV unsafe.
Before you consider making any modifications or adding an
accessory, be sure to read the following information.
We strongly recommend that you use only Honda Genuine
Accessories that have been specifically designed and tested for your
ATV. Because Honda cannot test all other accessories, you must be
personally responsible for proper selection, installation, and use of
non-Honda accessories.
Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow these
guidelines:
• Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce
ground clearance, limit suspension travel or steering travel, or
interfere with operating any controls.
• Make sure the accessory does not interfere with your ability to
shift body position on the seat or operate hand and foot controls.
• Do not add any electrical equipment that will exceed the vehicle’s
electrical system capacity (page 178). A blown fuse can cause a
loss of lights or engine power (page 167).
3
WARNING
Improper accessories or modifications can
cause a crash in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual
regarding accessories and modifications.
Accessories
Before Riding
38
Accessories & Modifications
We strongly advise you not to remove any original equipment or
modify your ATV in any way that would change its design or
operation. Such changes could seriously impair your ATV’s handling,
stability, and braking, making it unsafe to ride.
We also advise you not to make any modifications or remove any
equipment (such as the USDA qualified spark arrester or emission
control system components) that would make your ATV illegal in
your area.
Removing or modifying your lights, exhaust system, emission control
system, or other equipment can also make your ATV illegal.

Air Cleaner
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 76.
Proper air cleaner maintenance is very important for off-road
vehicles. A dirty, water-soaked, worn-out, or defective air cleaner
will allow dirt, dust, mud, and other impurities to pass into the
engine.
Service the air cleaner more frequently if you ride in unusually wet or
dusty areas. Your dealer can help you determine the correct service
interval for your riding conditions.
Your ATV’s air cleaner has very specific performance requirements.
Use a new Honda Genuine air cleaner specified for your model or an
air cleaner of equal quality.
NOTICE
Using the wrong air cleaner may result in premature engine wear.
Proper air cleaner maintenance can prevent premature engine wear
or damage, expensive repairs, low engine power, poor gas mileage,
and spark plug fouling.
NOTICE
Improper or lack of proper air cleaner maintenance can cause poor
performance and premature engine wear.

Engine Idle Speed
The best way to assure proper carburetion is to see your dealer for
regularly scheduled servicing, including carburetor adjustment.
Remember, idle speed adjustment is not a “cure-all” for other
problems in your engine’s fuel-delivery system. Adjusting the idle will
not compensate for a fault elsewhere.
The engine must be at normal operating temperature for accurate
idle speed adjustment.
For information about high altitude carburetor adjustment, see
page 181.
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 76.

Brakes
The hydraulic disc brakes (front) and single mechanical drum brake
(rear) on your ATV dissipate heat generated by the friction of the
brake pads on the disc (front) and the brake shoes on the drums
(rear) as the wheels are slowed.
Hydraulic Disc Front Brake
As the front brake pads wear, brake fluid level will drop. A leak in the
system will also cause the level to drop.
There are no adjustments to perform, but fluid level and pad wear
must be inspected periodically. The system must be inspected
frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks.
If the brake lever freeplay does not feel within the normal range
while riding, check the brake pads for wear (page 122).
Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are not worn beyond the
recommended limit, there is probably air in the brake system. See
your dealer to have the air bled from the system.
Mechanical Drum Rear Brake
If the clutch lever/parking brake lever or brake pedal freeplay does
not feel within the normal range while riding, check the brake shoes
for wear (page 125).
The recommended brake fluid is Honda DOT 4 Brake Fluid, or any
brake fluid of equal quality and performance. Use fresh brake fluid
from a sealed container. Be sure to read the label before opening the
sealed container. An opened container may be contaminated or may
have absorbed moisture from the air.

Tires
To safely operate your ATV, your tires must be the proper type and
size, in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated.
This ATV is equipped with low pressure tubeless tires. Although the
tires are designed specifically for off-road use, they are not immune
to punctures. Always select your riding area with care.
The following pages give detailed information on how and when to
check your air pressure, how to inspect your tires for wear and
damage, and our recommendations for tire repair and replacement.
3
WARNING
Using tires that are excessively worn or
improperly inflated can cause a crash in which
you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual
regarding tire inflation and maintenance.
Servicing Your Honda 131
Tires
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 76.
Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling,
tread life, and riding comfort. Generally, underinflated tires wear
unevenly, adversely affect handling, and are more likely to fail from
being overheated. Overinflated tires make your ATV ride harshly, are
more prone to damage from surface hazards, and wear unevenly.
Make sure the valve stem caps are secure. If necessary, install new
caps.
Always check air pressure when your tires are “cold.” If you check air
pressure when your tires are “warm” — even if your ATV has only
been ridden for a few miles — the readings will be higher. If you let
air out of warm tires to match the recommended cold tire pressures,
the tires will be underinflated. Be sure to check tire pressure at the
riding site, since changes in altitude can affect air pressure.
The recommended “cold” tire pressures are:
Air Pressure
FRONT REAR
RECOMMENDED
PRESSURE 4.4 psi (30.0 kPa) 2.9 psi (20.0 kPa)
Servicing Your Honda
132
Tires
A manually operated tire pump should be used rather than the high
pressure system found in service stations. This will minimize the
possibility of tire damage from overinflation. If you use a high
pressure system at a service station, add air in small amounts and
check the pressure increase frequently to prevent possible tire
damage from overinflation.
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 76.
Whenever you check the tire pressures, you should also look for:
• Bumps or bulges in the side of the tire or the tread. Replace any
tire that has a bump or bulge.
• Cuts, slits, or cracks in the tires. Replace the tire if you can see
fabric or cord.
• Nails or other foreign objects embedded in the side of the tire or
tread.
• Excessive tread wear.
3
WARNING
Operating this ATV with improper tires, or
with uneven tire pressure may cause loss of
control, and you could be seriously injured or
killed.
• Always use the size and type tires specified
in this owner’s manual for this vehicle.
• Always maintain proper tire pressure as
described in this owner’s manual.
Inspection
Servicing Your Honda 133
Tires
Also, if you hit a pothole or other hard object while riding, stop as
soon as you safely can and carefully inspect the tires for damage.
Tread Wear
To check the condition of a tire tread, measure the groove depth (1)
in the center of the tire, or check the wear indicator (2).
For best performance, you should replace a tire before the tread
depth at the center reaches the following limits:
