Never run the engine in an enclosed area. ,, ,,,.,.,*'"" The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death. Run the engine in an open area or with an exhaust evacua- tion system in an enclosed area. GASOLINE Work in a well vent ilated area. Keep cigarettes, flames or sparks away from the work area or where gasoline is stored. Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. HOT COMPONENTS Engine and exhaust system parts become very hot and remain hot for some time after the engine is run. Wear insulated gloves or wait until the engine and exhaust system have cooled before handling these parts.

Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. BRAKE DUST Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake assem- blies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner or alternate method approved by OSHA, designed to min imize the hazard caused by airborne asbestos fibers . '""'*'"" Inhaled asbestos fibers have been found to cause respiratory disease and cancer. BRAKE FLUID CAUTION : Spilling fluid on painted, plastic or rubber parts will damage them. Place a clean shop towel over these parts whenever the system is serviced. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. • 1-1
GENERAL INFORMATION COOLANT Under some conditions, the ethylene glycol in engine coolant is combustible and its flame is not visible . If the ethylene glycol does ignite, you will not see any flame, but you can be burned. IMN@Ori •Avoid spilling engine coolant on the exhaust system or engine parts. They may be hot enough to cause the coolant to ignite and burn without a visible flame. • Coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause some skin irritation and is poisonous if swallowed. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. • Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The coolant is under pressure and could scald you. • Keep hands and clothing away from the cooling fan, as it starts automatically. CAUTION : Using coolant with silicate corrosion inhibitors may cause premature wear of water pump seals or blockage of radiator passages. Using tap water may cause engine damage. SERVICE RULES BATTERY HYDROGEN GAS & ELECTROLYTE 1¥2"@0@ • The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging. • The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protec- tive clothing and a face shield. - If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water. - If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician immediately. • Electrolyte is poisonous. - If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk and follow with milk of magnesia or vegetable oil and call a physician. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. 1. Use genuine Honda or Honda-recommended parts and lubricants or their equivalents. Parts that don't meet Honda's design specifications may cause damage to the motorcycle. 2. Use the special tools designed for this product to avoid damage and incorrect assembly. 3. Use only metric tools when servicing the motorcycle. Metric bolts, nuts and screws are not interchangeable with English fasteners. 4. Install new gaskets, 0-rings, cotter pins, and lock plates when reassembling. 5. When tightening bolts or nuts, begin with the larger diameter or inner bolt first. Tighten to the specified torque diagonally in incremental steps unless a particular sequence is specified. 6. Clean parts in cleaning solvent upon disassembly. Lubricate any sliding surfaces before reassembly. 7. After reassembly, check all parts for proper installation and operation. 8. Route all electrical wires as shown on pages 1-35 through 1-67, Cable & Harness routing. 1-2
