SET-UP

INSTRUCTIONS

Issued: January 2006

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER SET-UP AND PRE-DELIVERY SERVICE

FOR YOUR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY

Proper set-up and pre-delivery service are essential to rider safety and the reliability of the

machine. Any error or oversight made by the technician assembling and servicing a new machine

can result in faulty operation, damage to the machine, or injury to the rider.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Some of the most important safety precautions are given below. However, we cannot warn you

of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing set-up and pre-delivery service. Only

you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Make sure you have a clear understanding of all basic shop safety practices and that you are

wearing appropriate clothing and safety equipment. When performing the set-up or pre-delivery

service, be especially careful of the following:

• Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills required to

perform the tasks safely.

• To prevent the machine from falling on you, park it on a firm, level surface, using the proper

stand(s) to provide firm support.

Make sure the engine is off before you begin any servicing procedures. This will help eliminate

several potential hazards:

• Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust—be sure there is adequate ventilation

whenever you run the engine.

• Burns from hot parts—let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.

• Injury from moving parts—do not run the engine unless the instruction tells you to do so. Even

then, keep your hands, fingers, and clothing away.

To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline or

batteries. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep all cigarettes,

sparks and flames away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.

WARNING

Improper set-up or pre-delivery service can

create an unsafe condition that can cause

your customer to be seriously hurt or killed.

Follow the procedures and precautions in

this manual and the service manual carefully.

WARNING

Failure to properly follow instructions and

precautions can cause you to be seriously

hurt or killed.

Follow the procedures and precautions in this

manual carefully.

How To Use This Manual

Follow the complete sequence of steps as shown. Do not short-cut any steps. The sequence has

been established to ensure the unit is properly assembled.

The individual steps are composed of three components:

• Sub-heading—The large sub-headings are a brief description of the step. They are intended

to be used by the experienced technician, one who only needs a brief reminder of the

set-up sequence.

• Descriptive text—The descriptive text explains in detail what is to be done during that step.

This explanation is intended as a guide for the technician needing additional information.

• Photographs/Line art—The photographs or line art support both the sub-headings and the

detailed text.

18.Check the coolant level.

Check the coolant level at the coolant reserve

tank. If the level is low, remove the coolant

reserve tank cap and add Pro Honda HP

coolant or a 1:1 mixture of a high-quality

ethylene glycol anti-freeze containing

corrosion inhibitors and distilled water to

restore the level to the UPPER mark. Do not

spill coolant on painted or plastic surfaces as

it can damage the finish.

19.Verify the throttle freeplay.

Operate the throttle to confirm that it moves

smoothly and returns automatically from any

open position to the fully closed position in all

steering positions.

Confirm the throttle grip freeplay:

Throttle freeplay:

2 – 6 mm (1/16 – 1/4 in)

Make adjustments at the throttle grip

adjuster by loosening the lock nut and

turning the adjuster. Tighten the lock nut

after adjustment.

20.Check the oil level.

Before starting the engine, remove the anti-

rust coating from the engine and exhaust

system using a mild detergent and water.

Rinse with clean water.

Support the motorcycle in an upright position

on a firm, level surface.

Check that the oil level is between the

upper and lower level marks in the

inspection window.

20.Check the oil level (cont.).

If the oil level is below the lower level mark,

remove the right cylinder head over-head

cover and oil filler cap, and add the recom-

mended oil until it is visible in the inspection

window. Replace the oil filler cap.

Start the engine and let it idle for 3 – 5

minutes. Make sure the low oil pressure

indicator goes off. If the indicator remains on,

stop the engine and troubleshoot the cause.

Stop the engine and wait 2 – 3 minutes. Check

the oil level using the above procedure and, if

necessary, add the recommended oil until it

reaches the upper level mark. Do not add oil

above the upper level mark.

•Oil recommendation: Pro Honda GN4 or

HP4 (without molybdenum additives) 4-

stroke oil or equivalent motor oil

•Viscosity: SAE 10W-40

•Classification: SG or higher. Do not use oils

labeled as energy conserving on the circular

API service label.

•JASO 4T Service Classification: MA

•Crankcase capacity (after draining): 3.6

Liters (3.8 US Quarts)

Reinstall the oil filler cap and right cylinder

head over-head cover.

21.Check the final drive oil level.

Place the motorcycle on its centerstand on a

firm, level surface.

Remove the oil filler cap and check the oil

level, it should be flush with the lower edge of

the oil filler hole. If the level is low, check for

oil leaks. Add the recommended oil through

the oil filler hole until it reaches the lower

edge of the opening.

Recommended oil: Pro Honda Shaft Drive Oil
