Using the wrong oil f ilter may result in
leaks or engine damage. Refer to on page .
Your motorcycle’s oil filter has very
specific performance requirements. Use a
new Honda Genuine oil filter or a filter of
equal quality specified for your model.
Check that the oil level is between the
upper ( ) and lower ( ) level marks in
the inspection window ( ).
If the oil is at or near the upper level
mark –– you do not have to add oil.
If the oil is below or near the lower
level mark –– remove the lower cowl
(page ) and oil filler cap ( ), and
add the recommended oil until it
reaches the upper level mark. (Do not

							110Coolant Recommendation
Coolant
Servicing Your Honda
Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may
cause premature wear of water pump
seals or blockage of radiator passages.
Using tap water may cause engine
damage.
Your motorcycle’s liquid cooling system
dissipates engine heat through the coolant
jacket that surrounds the cylinder and
cylinder head.
Use Pro Honda HP coolant or an
equivalent high quality ethylene glycol
antifreeze containing corrosion protection
inhibitors specif ically recommended f or
use in aluminum engines. Check the
antifreeze container label. Maintaining the coolant will allow the
cooling system to work properly and
prevent freezing, overheating, and
corrosion.
The f actory provides a 50/50 solution of
antifreeze and water in this motorcycle.
This coolant solution is recommended for
most operating temperatures and provides
good corrosion protection. Use only distilled water as a part of the
coolant solution. Water that is high in
mineral content or salt may be harmful to
the aluminum engine.

Saf ety Precautions
Refer to on page .
Decreasing the concentration of antifreeze
to less than 40% will not provide proper
corrosion protection.
Increasing the concentration of antifreeze
is not recommended because it decreases
cooling system performance. Higher
concentrations of antifreeze (up to 60%)
should only be used to provide additional
protection against freezing. Check the
cooling system frequently during freezing
weather. 76
