０８／０９／１９ ２０：４１：５６ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００５０ Before Riding Before each ride, you need to make sure you and your Honda are both ready to ride. To help get you prepared, this section discusses how to evaluate your riding readiness, what items you should check on your motorcycle, and adjustments to make for your comfort, convenience, or safety. This section also includes important information about loading. Are You Ready to Ride? .........................42 Protective Apparel ...............................
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４２：０５ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００５１ Are You Ready to Ride? Before you ride your motorcycle for the first time, we urge you to: Read this owner’s manual. Make sure you understand all the safety messages. Know how to operate all the controls. If you must carry an extra helmet while riding, use a commercially available elastic cord, strap, or net to secure the helmet to the seat. Before each ride, be sure: You feel well and are in good physical and mental condition.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４２：１３ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００５２ Are You Ready to Ride? Helmets and Eye Protection Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely. A bright-colored helmet and reflective strips can make you more noticeable in traffic. An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４２：１９ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００５３ Are You Ready to Ride? A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright-colored and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your motorcycle. To avoid possible heat damage to your motorcycle or personal belongings, do not block or restrict air flow around the exhaust muffler with baggage or clothing.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４２：２６ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００５４ Is Your Motorcycle Ready to Ride? Before each ride, it’s important to inspect your motorcycle and make sure any problem you find is corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a must, not only for safety, but because having a breakdown, or even a flat tire, can be a major inconvenience. Improperly maintaining this motorcycle or failing to correct a problem before riding can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４２：３５ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００５５ Is Your Motorcycle Ready to Ride? Leaks, Loose Parts Lights 46 Walk around your motorcycle and look for anything that appears unusual, such as a leak or loose cable. Make sure the headlight, position light, brakelight, taillight, license light and turn signals are working properly. Before Riding If you are carrying a passenger or cargo, also check the following: Load Limits Make sure you do not exceed the load limits (page 49 ).
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４２：４３ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００５６ Is Your Motorcycle Ready to Ride? Check these items after you get on the motorcycle: Throttle Rotate the throttle to check it moves smoothly without binding. Brakes Pull the brake lever and press on the brake pedal to check that they operate normally. Indicators If you haven’t ridden the motorcycle in over a week, you should also check other items, such as the oil level and other fluids. See Periodic Maintenance (page 78 ).
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４２：４８ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００５７ Load Limits & Guidelines Your motorcycle has been designed to carry you and one passenger. When you carry a passenger, you may feel some difference during acceleration and braking. But so long as you keep your motorcycle well-maintained, with good tires and brakes, you can safely carry loads within the given limits and guidelines. However, exceeding the weight limit or carrying an unbalanced load can seriously impair your motorcycle’s handling, braking, and stability.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４２：５７ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００５８ Load Limits & Guidelines Load Limits Loading Guidelines Following are the load limits for your motorcycle: Your motorcycle is primarily intended for transporting you and a passenger. You may wish to secure a jacket or other small items to the seat when you are not riding with a passenger. maximum weight capacity: 366 lbs (166 kg) 375 lbs (170 kg) (Canada only) includes the weight of the rider, passenger, all cargo, and all accessories.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４３：０４ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００５９ Load Limits & Guidelines Follow these guidelines whenever you carry a passenger or cargo: Check that both tires are properly inflated (page 143 ). If you change your normal load, you may need to adjust the front suspension (page 127 ) and the rear suspension (page 132 ). To prevent loose items from creating a hazard, make sure that all cargo is tied down securely before you ride. Place cargo weight as low and close to the center of your motorcycle as possible.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４３：１７ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００６０ Basic Operation & Riding This section gives basic riding instructions, including how to start and stop your engine, and how to use the throttle, clutch, and brakes. It also provides important information on riding with a passenger or cargo. To protect your new engine and enjoy optimum performance and service life, refer to Break-in Guidelines (page 224 ).
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４３：２２ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ Safe Riding Precautions Before riding your motorcycle for the first time, please review the Motorcycle Saf ety section beginning on page 1, and the Bef ore Riding section beginning on page 41 . Even if you have ridden other motorcycles, take time to become familiar with how this motorcycle works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills and get accustomed to the motorcycle’s size and weight.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４３：３１ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００６２ Starting & Stopping the Engine Always follow the proper starting procedure described below. For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area such as a garage. Your motorcycle’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death. Your motorcycle can be started with the transmission in gear by pulling in the clutch lever before operating the starter.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４３：３９ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００６３ Starting & Stopping the Engine The HESD indicator is OFF. The Combined ABS indicator is ON. (CBR600RR ABS only) The low oil pressure indicator should go off a few seconds after the engine starts. If the low oil pressure indicator lights during operation, stop the engine immediately and check the engine oil level. (CBR600RR ABS only) The Combined ABS indicator should go off after you ride the motorcycle at a speed above 6 mph (10 km/h).
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４３：４８ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００６４ Starting & Stopping the Engine Flooded Engine If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, it may be flooded with excess fuel. To clear a flooded engine: 1. Leave the engine stop switch set to RUN. 2. Open the throttle fully. 3. Press the start button for 5 seconds. 4. Follow the normal starting procedure. 5. If the engine starts, then open the throttle slightly if idling is unstable. If the engine does not start, wait 10 seconds, then follow steps 1 − 4 again.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４３：５６ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００６５ Starting & Stopping the Engine How to Stop the Engine Normal Engine Stop To stop the engine, shift into neutral and turn the ignition switch OFF. The engine stop switch should normally remain in the RUN position even when the engine is OFF. If your motorcycle is stopped with the engine stop switch OFF and the ignition switch ON, the headlight, position light, taillight, and license light will remain on, resulting in battery discharge.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４４：０３ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００６６ Shifting Gears shifting pattern Your motorcycle has six forward gears in a one-down, five-up shift pattern which is coordinated with a cable-operated clutch system. Learning when to shift gears comes with experience. Keep the following tips in mind: As a general rule, shift while moving in a straight line. Close the throttle and pull the clutch lever in completely before shifting. Improper shifting may damage the engine, transmission, and drive train.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４４：１２ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００６７ Shifting Gears Avoid downshifting to help slow your motorcycle when engine rpm is near its allowable maximum (near the tachometer red zone). In this situation, the rev limiter in the engine ignition control module may not prevent excessive engine speed which could damage the engine. To prevent transmission damage, do not coast or tow the motorcycle for long distances with the engine off.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４４：１７ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００６８ Braking Your motorcycle is equipped with disc braking systems which are hydraulically activated. Operating the brake lever applies the two front disc brakes. Depressing the brake pedal applies the rear disc brake. For full braking effectiveness, use both the lever and pedal simultaneously. Using both braking systems will stop your motorcycle faster with greater stability. As a general rule, the front braking system provides about 70 percent of total stopping power.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４４：２３ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００６９ Braking To slow or stop, apply the brake lever and brake pedal smoothly, while downshifting to match your speed. Gradually increase braking as you feel the brakes slowing your speed. The increase in engine compression from downshifting will help slow your motorcycle. To prevent stalling the engine, pull the clutch lever in before coming to a complete stop. For support, put your left foot down first, then your right foot when you have finished braking.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４４：２８ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００７０ Braking Your ability to brake in a turn and to brake hard in an emergency situation are important riding skills. We suggest attending a Motorcycle Safety Foundation experienced rider training course (page 44 ) to retain these skills. When descending a long, steep grade, use engine compression braking by downshifting, with intermittent use of both brakes. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４４：３３ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００７１ Braking Combined ABS (CBR600RR ABS) This model is equipped with Combined ABS (Combined Anti-lock Brake System). When the ignition switch is turned ON, the system performs a self-analysis and when the vehicle speed reaches 6 mph (10 km/h) the system starts to operate and remains on while riding. Combined ABS is selfchecking. Combined ABS is an electrically integrated system consisting of the Combined Brake System and Anti-lock Brake System.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４４：４０ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００７２ Braking In some situations, a motorcycle with Combined ABS may require a longer stopping distance to stop on loose or uneven surfaces than an equivalent motorcycle without Combined ABS. Combined ABS cannot make up for road conditions, bad judgment, or improper operation of the brakes, and cannot stop rear wheel lift completely. It is still your responsibility to ride at reasonable speeds for weather, road surface, and traffic conditions, and to leave a margin of safety.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４４：４６ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００７３ Braking When Combined ABS does not function, the brakes work like a conventional braking system. On conventional braking systems, operating the front brake lever applies the front brake and operating the rear pedal applies the rear brake.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４４：５１ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００７４ Braking If the Combined ABS indicator lights or flashes and remains on while riding, stop the motorcycle in a safe place and turn off the engine. Turn the ignition ON again. The indicator should come on, and go off after you ride the motorcycle at a speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). If it does not go off, Combined ABS is not functioning, but the brakes still provide normal stopping ability like a conventional braking system.
０８／０９／１９ ２０：４４：５８ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ００７５ Parking 1. Look for a level parking area. If you can’t park on a paved surface, make sure the ground surface is firm, especially under the side stand. If you must park on a hill, leave the transmission in gear and position the rear tire against the curb at a 45 degree angle. Make sure flammable materials such as dry grass or leaves do not come in contact with the exhaust system when parking your motorcycle. Refer to Catalytic Converter, page 232 .

０８／０９／１９ ２１：００：０４ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ０１９７ If You Have a Flat Tire A flat tire is always unwelcome, especially if you are far from help. If you think you are losing air, or you hit a pothole or hard object, pull safely to the side of the road so you can inspect the tires and assess the situation. (Be sure to park on a firm, level surface and use the side stand for support.) You should examine the tire treads and sidewalls for foreign objects or damage.
０８／０９／１９ ２１：００：０９ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ０１９８ If You Have a Flat Tire Riding your motorcycle with a temporary tire repair can be risky. If the temporary repair fails, you can crash and be seriously injured or killed. If you must ride with a temporary tire repair, ride slowly and carefully and do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) until the tire is permanently repaired or replaced. repaired. Stop frequently and check the air pressure. If the tire is losing pressure, it may be unsafe to continue riding.
０８／０９／１９ ２１：００：１４ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ０１９９ If You Have a Flat Tire Inflate the tire: Tubeless tires have some self-sealing ability if they are punctured and the result is usually just a slow leak. If this is the case, you can try inflating the tire to see if it will hold air pressure. If you can see a nail or other object embedded in the tire tread, do not remove it at this time. Plug the hole: The idea here is to do something to temporarily stop the leak.
０８／０９／１９ ２１：００：２２ ３１ＭＦＪ６２０ ０２００ If You Have a Flat Tire Emergency Front Wheel Removal/Installation RIGHT SIDE (2) (3) Refer to Saf ety Precautions on page 76 .
