This section contains important information for safe riding of your motorcycle.Please read this section carefully.
Motorcycle Safety
Safety GuidelinesFollow these guidelines to enhance your safety:● Perform all routine and regular inspections
specified in this manual.● Stop the engine and keep sparks and flame
away before filling the fuel tank.● Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly
enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide inexhaust gases is toxic and can kill you.
Always Wear a HelmetIt's a proven fact: helmets and protectiveapparel significantly reduce the number andseverity of head and other injuries. So alwayswear an approved motorcycle helmet andprotective apparel. 2 P. 8
Before RidingMake sure that you are physically fit, mentallyfocused and free of alcohol and drugs. Checkthat you and your passenger are both wearingan approved motorcycle helmet and protective
apparel. Instruct your passenger on holdingonto the seat strap or your waist, leaning withyou in turns, and keeping their feet on thefootpegs, even when the motorcycle is stopped.
Take Time to Learn & PracticeEven if you have ridden other motorcycles,practice riding in a safe area to become familiarwith how this motorcycle works and handles,and to become accustomed to the motorcycle'ssize and weight.We recommend that all riders take a certifiedcourse approved by the Motorcycle SafetyFoundation (MSF). New riders should start withthe basic course, and even experienced riderswill find the advanced course beneficial.For information about the MSF training coursenearest you, call the national toll-free number:(800) 446-9227.USA Other riding tips can be found in the Youand Your Motorcycle Riding Tips booklet thatcame with your motorcycle.

Ride DefensivelyAlways pay attention to other vehicles aroundyou, and do not assume that other drivers seeyou. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform anevasive maneuver.
Make Yourself Easy to SeeMake yourself more visible, especially at night,by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioningyourself so other drivers can see you, signalingbefore turning or changing lanes, and usingyour horn when necessary.
Ride within Your LimitsNever ride beyond your personal abilities orfaster than conditions warrant. Fatigue andinattention can impair your ability to use goodjudgment and ride safely.
Don't Drink and RideAlcohol and riding don't mix. Even one alcoholicdrink can reduce your ability to respond to
changing conditions, and your reaction timegets worse with every additional drink. Don'tdrink and ride, and don't let your friends drinkand ride either.
Keep Your Honda in Safe ConditionIt's important to keep your motorcycle properlymaintained and in safe riding condition.Inspect your motorcycle before every ride andperform all recommended maintenance. Neverexceed load limits (2 P. 15), and do not modifyyour motorcycle or install accessories thatwould make your motorcycle unsafe (2 P. 14).
If You are Involved in a CrashPersonal safety is your first priority. If you oranyone else has been injured, take time toassess the severity of the injuries and whether itis safe to continue riding. Call for emergencyassistance if needed. Also follow applicable lawsand regulations if another person or vehicle isinvolved in the crash.

Riding PrecautionsBreak-in Period
During the first 300 miles (500 km) of running,follow these guidelines to ensure yourmotorcycle's future reliability and performance.● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.● Ride conservatively.
BrakesObserve the following guidelines:● Avoid excessively hard braking and
downshifting.u Sudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle's stability.u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.

9Continued
● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.u The tires slip more easily on such
surfaces and braking distances arelonger.
● Avoid continuous braking.u Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes canseriously overheat the brakes, reducingtheir effectiveness. Use engine brakingwith intermittent use of the brakes toreduce speed.
● For full braking effectiveness, operate boththe front and rear brakes together.
# Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)CBR650RA onlyThis model is equipped with an Anti-lock BrakeSystem (ABS) designed to help prevent thebrakes from locking up during hard braking.● ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
certain circumstances, ABS may result in alonger stopping distance.
● ABS does not function at speeds below 6mph (10 km/h).
● The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightlywhen applying the brakes. This is normal.
● Always use the recommended front/reartires and sprockets to ensure correct ABSoperation.

# Engine BrakingEngine braking helps slow your motorcycledown when you release the throttle. For furtherslowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Useengine braking with intermittent use of thebrakes to reduce speed when descending long,steep slopes.
# Wet or Rainy ConditionsRoad surfaces are slippery when wet, and wetbrakes further reduce braking efficiency.Exercise extra caution when braking in wetconditions.If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes whileriding at low speed to help them dry.
Parking● Park on a firm, level surface.● If you must park on a slight incline or loose
surface, park so that the motorcycle cannotmove or fall over.
● Make sure that high-temperature partscannot come into contact with flammablematerials.
● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakesand other high-temperature parts until theycool down.
● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lockthe handlebars and remove the key whenleaving the motorcycle unattended.Use of an anti-theft device is alsorecommended.

# Parking with the Side Stand1. Stop the engine.2. Push the side stand down.3. Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its
weight rests on the side stand.4. Turn the handlebars fully to the left.
u Turning the handlebars to the rightreduces stability and may cause themotorcycle to fall.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCKposition and remove the key. 2 P. 52
Refueling and Fuel GuidelinesFollow these guidelines to protect the engine,fuel system and catalytic converter:● Use only unleaded gasoline.● Use recommended octane number. Using
lower octane gasoline will result indecreased engine performance.
● Do not use fuels containing a highconcentration of alcohol. 2 P. 141
● Do not use stale or contaminated gasolineor an oil/gasoline mixture.
● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Honda selectable torque controlCBR650RA onlyWhen the Honda selectable torque control(Torque Control) detects rear wheel spin duringacceleration, the system will limit the amount oftorque applied to the rear wheel.
Torque Control does not work duringdeceleration and will not prevent the rear wheelfrom skidding due to engine braking. Do notclose the throttle suddenly, especially whenriding on slippery surfaces.
Torque Control may not compensate for roughroad conditions or rapid throttle operation.Always consider road and weather conditions,as well as your skills and condition, whenapplying throttle.If your motorcycle gets stuck in mud, snow orsand, it may be easier to free it by turning offthe Torque Control temporarily.Temporarily turning off Torque Control alsomay help you maintain control and balancewhen riding on off-road terrain.
Always use the recommended tires andsprockets to ensure correct Torque Controloperation.

3. Thoroughly rinse your motorcycle withplenty of clean water and dry with a soft,clean cloth.
4. After the motorcycle dries, lubricate anymoving parts.u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto
the brakes or tires. Brake discs, pads,drum or shoes contaminated with oil willsuffer greatly reduced brakingeffectiveness and can lead to a crash.
5. Lubricate the drive chain immediately afterwashing and drying the motorcycle.
6. Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.u Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents. Thesecan damage the metal, paint, and plasticon your motorcycle.Keep the wax clear of the tires andbrakes.

Emission Control SystemsYour motorcycle engine emits combustionbyproducts, including carbon monoxide (CO),oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and hydrocarbons(HC). Gasoline evaporation also emitshydrocarbons. Controlling the production ofNOx, CO, and HC is important for theenvironment.
Exhaust Emission RequirementsThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), the California Air Resources Board(CARB), and Environment and Climate ChangeCanada (ECCC) require that your motorcyclecomply with applicable exhaust, crankcase, andfuel permeation emission standards during itsuseful life, when operated and maintainedaccording to the instructions provided.CARB also requires that your motorcyclecomply with applicable evaporative emissionrequirements during its useful life, when
operated and maintained according to theinstructions provided.USA Compliance with the terms of theDistributor's Warranties for Honda MotorcycleEmission Control Systems is necessary in orderto maintain a valid emissions system warranty.The Vehicle Emission Control Information labelis attached to the rear fender under the rearseat. 2 P. 82

Noise Emission RequirementsThe EPA requires that motorcycles built afterJanuary 1, 1983 comply with applicable noiseemission standards for one year or 3,730 miles(6,000 km) after the time of purchase whenoperated and maintained according to theinstructions provided.
Exhaust Emission Control SystemThe exhaust emission control system includesthe following components that should not needadjustment, although periodic inspection byyour dealer is recommended.
# PGM-FI SystemThe PGM-FI (programmed fuel injection) systemuses sequential multiport fuel injection, and iscomprised of air intake, engine control, fuelcontrol, and exhaust control subsystems. Theengine control module (ECM) uses sensors todetermine how much air enters the engine, andthen controls how much fuel to inject.
# Ignition Timing Control SystemThe ignition timing control system adjusts theignition timing to reduce the amount of HC,CO, and NOx produced.
# Secondary Air Injection SystemThe secondary air injection system adds filteredair into the exhaust gas to help improveemission control performance.
# Catalytic ConvertersThe exhaust system contains one or morecatalytic converters. Catalytic converters use acatalyst to convert most of the harmful exhaustgas compounds into harmless compounds.

Evaporative Emission Control System50 STATE (meets California)An evaporative emissions control system uses acanister filled with charcoal to adsorb fuel vaporfrom the fuel tank while the engine is off. Thevapor is drawn into the engine and burnedwhile riding.
Crankcase Emissions Control SystemThe engine is equipped with a closed crankcasesystem to prevent discharging crankcaseemissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas isreturned to the combustion chamber throughthe crankcase breather hose, air cleanerhousing and throttle body.
Fuel Permeation Emission ControlThe fuel tank, fuel hoses, and fuel vapor chargehoses use fuel permeation control technologiesto prevent fuel vapor emissions. Tampering withthese components to reduce or defeat theeffectiveness of the fuel permeationtechnologies is prohibited.

Catalytic ConverterThis motorcycle is equipped with a three-waycatalytic converter. The catalytic convertercontains precious metals that serve as catalystsin high temperature chemical reactions thatconvert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide(CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in theexhaust gasses into safe compounds.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to airpollution and can impair your engine'sperformance. A replacement unit must be anoriginal Honda part or equivalent.
Follow these guidelines to protect yourmotorcycle's catalytic converter.● Always use unleaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline will damage the catalytic converter.● Keep the engine in good running condition.
A poorly running engine can cause thecatalytic converter to overheat causingdamage to the converter or the motorcycle.
● If your engine is misfiring, backfiring, stalling,or otherwise not running properly, stopriding and turn off the engine. Have yourmotorcycle serviced as soon as possible.
