GENERAL SAFETY

WARNING

If the engine must be running to do some work, make sure the area is well-ventilated.  Never run the engine in an enclosed area.  The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that may cause loss of conciousness and lead to death.

WARNING

The battery generates hydrogen gas which can be highly explosive.  Do not smoke or allow flames or sparkes near the battery, especially when charging it.

WARNING

Inhaled asbestos fibers have been found to cause respiratory disease and cancer.  Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake assemblies.  Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner or alternate method approved by OSHA designed to minimise the hazard caused by airborne asbestos fibers.

WARNING

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under cartain conditions, work in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.  Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the work area or where gasoline is stored.

WARNING

The battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid.  Protect your eyes, skin, and clothing.  In case of contact, flush thoroughly with water and call a doctor if electrolyte gets in your eyes.

WARNING

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.  The coolant is under pressure ans severe scalding could result.  The engine must be cool before servicing the cooling system.

CAUTION:

Used engine oil may cause cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods.  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.

SERVICE RULES

  1. Use genuine HONDA or HONDA-recommended parts and lubricants of their equivalents.  Parts that don’t meet HONDA’s design specifications may damage to the vehicle.
  2. Use the special tools designed for this product to avoid damage and incorrect assembly.
  3. Use only metric tools when servicing the vehicle.  Metric bolts, nuts and screws are not interchangeable with English fasteners.
  4. Install new gaskets, O-rings, cotter pins, and lock plates whe reassembling.
  5. When tightening bolts or nuts, begin with the larger-diameter or inner bolts first.  Then tighen to the specified torque diagonally in 1-5 steps, unless a particular sequence is specified.
  6. Clean parts in non-flammable or high flash point solvent upon disassembly.  Lubricate any sliding surfaces before reassembly.
  7. After reassembly, check all ports for proper installation and operation.
  8. Route all wires as shown on pages 1-9 through 1-14, Cable and Harness Routing.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board (CARB) require manufacturers to certify that their motorcycles comply with applicable exhaust emissions standards during ther useful life, when operated and maintained according to the instrutions provided, and the E.P.A. requires that motorcycles built after January 1, 1983 comply with applicable noise emissions standards for one year or 6,000 km (3,730 miles) after the time of sale to the ultimate purchaser, when operated and maintained according to the instructions provided.  Compliance with the terms of the Distributor’s limited Warranty for Honda Motorcycle Emission Control Systems is necessary in order to keep the emissions system warranty in effect.

SOURCES OF EMISSIONS

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.  Control of hydrocarbons is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight.  Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. utillizes lean carburetor settings as well as other systems, to reduce carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.

EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Except for California:
The exhaust emission control system is composed of a lean carburetor setting, and no adustments should be made except idle speed adjustment with the stop screw.  The exhaust emission control system is separate from the crankcase emission control system.

California only:
The exhaust emission control system consists of a secondary air suoply system which introduces filtered air into the exhaust gasses in the exhaust port.  No adjustments to this system should be made, although periodic inspection of the components is recommended.  The secondary air supply system helps improve emission performance.


Page 1-17

CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system which routes crankcase emissions through the air cleaner into the combustion chamber.




EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (California model only)

This model complies with California Air Resources Board evaporative emission requirements.
Fuel vapor from teh fuel tank and carburetor is directed into the charcoal canister wher it is adsorbed and stored while teh engien is stopped.  When the engine is running and the purge control diaphragm valve is open, fuel vapor in the charcoal canister is drawn into the engine through the carburetor.



Page 1-18

NOISE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

TAMPERING WITH THE NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS PROHIBITED: Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person, other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use; or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

AMONG THOSE ACTS PRESUMED TO CONSTITUTE THE TAMPERING ARE THE ACTS LISTED BELOW:

  1. Removal of, or puncturing of the muffler, baffles, header piples or any other compenenty which conducts exhaust gasses.
  2. Removal of, or puncturing of any part of teh intake system.
  3. Lack of proper maintenance.
  4. Replacing any moving parts of the vehicle, or parts of the exhaust or intake system, with parts other than those specified by the manufacturer.

EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION LABELS

An Emission Control Information Label is located on the rear fender as shown.  It contains basic tune-up specifications.




EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION UPDATE LABEL

After making high altitude carburetor adjustment (Page 4-15), attach an update label on the left sub-frame upper pipe.
Instructions for obtaining the update label are given in Service Letter No. 132.
