We cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task. Follow these guidelines when performing maintenance.
● Stop the engine and remove the key.
● Place your scooter on a firm, level surface using the side stand, center stand or a maintenance stand to provide support.
● Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other high-temperature parts to cool before servicing as you can get burned.
● Run the engine only when instructed, and do so in a well-ventilated area.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The maintenance schedule specifies the maintenance requirements necessary to ensure safe, dependable performance, and proper emission control. Maintenance work should be performed in accordance with Honda’s standards and specifications by properly trained and equipped technicians. Your dealer meets all of these requirements.

ENGINE OIL
Engine oil consumption varies, and oil quality deteriorates according to riding conditions and time elapsed. Check the engine oil level regularly and add the recommended engine oil if necessary. Dirty oil or old oil should be changed as soon as possible.
WHEN SELECTING THE ENGINE OIL
If you use non-Honda engine oil, check the label to make sure that the oil satisfies all of the following standard:
●JASO T 903 standard *1 MB
● SAE standard *2: 10W-30
● API classification *3: SG or high
*1. The JASO T 903 standard is an index for engine oils for 4-stroke motorcycle engines. There are two classes: MA and MB. For example, the following label shows the MB classification.
*2. The SAE standard grades oils by their viscosity.
*3. The API classification specifies the quality and performance rating of engine oils. Use SG or higher oils, excluding oils marked as "Energy Conserving" or "Resource Conserving" on the circular API service symbol.
NOTICE
Brake fluid can damage plastic and painted surfaces. Wipe up spills immediately and wash thoroughly.
BRAKE FLUID
Do not add or replace brake fluid, except in an emergency. Use only fresh brake fluid from a sealed container. If you do add fluid, have the brake system serviced by your dealer as soon as possible. RECOMMENDED BRAKE FLUID:
● Honda DOT 3 or DOT 4 Brake Fluid or equivalent
NOTICE
Using coolant not specified for aluminum engines or tap/mineral water can cause corrosion.
