( return to top
It is your responsibility to ensure that services are performed at the specified period and the service record is appropriately endorsed. In this way your machine will receive the full benefit of the Honda warranty. Although there is a large network of authorised Honda dealers, it is preferable that routine servicing is performed by the original authorised Honda selling dealer where both you and the machine are known. In normal servicing circumstances, regular servicing reduces the overall cost of maintenance. Should a fault occur during the warranty period contact your authorised Honda dealer immediately and arrange an appointment for necessary work to be completed. During the summer period, many dealers are very busy. It is therefore
advisable to plan routine servicing well in advance. Looking After Your Machine
(return to top
Perform a pre-ride inspection daily before you ride your motorcycle. The list of items for your particular Honda model will be listed in your owner's manual. These checks are to aid rather than inconvenience you. Remember minor adjustments are more easily performed at home than on the road side. Apart from improving its appearance, a thorough cleaning* is an ideal
opportunity to inspect your machine. The appearance and value of your machine will very much depend upon the care it receives. Especially during the winter, it is most important to clean your machine regularly and effectively as, left unattended, road salt will cause deterioration of exposed metal surfaces. WARNING Chemical cleaners sometimes contain solvents which extract elastomers
from the plastic. This causes the material to become brittle. Avoid such
cleaners. Use only a neutral soap solution. * Care should be exercised when using power wash or steam cleaning
equipment as these methods can damage paint and lacquer finishes. Bare metal parts can be cleaned and protected with chromium polish. For cleaning seat, dash board, indicators, rear light and wind screen, use only neutral soap solution. Do not use any solvent containing cleaners. Very filthy parts and insects should be soaked in soap solution and afterwards rinsed with water. Especially during adverse operating conditions is it advisable to
protect your machine with suitable waxes or lubricants. Consult your
dealer for advice.
Plan routine servicing well in advance in order that the necessary work
may be carried out at the specified period and at your and your dealers
convenience. If you intend to store your machine for any length of time,
contact your dealer for advice. Travelling abroad
(return to top
HONDA warranty will be honored in all the countries listed below, however... 1 It is most important that you take your warranty book and your Owner's Card with you. It is your only proof that your motorcycle is covered by warranty and that the services have been carried out. 2 We recommend that whilst travelling abroad only warranty repairs of an emergency or safety related nature are dealt with and others are referred to your local Honda dealer on return. 3 Have your machine thoroughly serviced before you set out. 4 Pay particular attention to tyre wear level and tyre pressures, as you may cover many miles at high speed with a heavier load. See your owner's manual for correct settings. 5 Don't forget to carry out daily checks while on your trip. 6 It is strongly advised that adequate travel insurance is obtained to
cover any unforeseen circumstances. Please consult your insurers or any
motoring organization. Travelling Abroad GB-IRL Euro-Service Warranty
(return to top
It is only applicable for Honda customers
travelling through foreign
European countries listed below where Honda is represented by an
authorized distributor. In case of any technical trouble with your machine, we advise you to find the nearest local Honda dealer FIRST by consulting the telephone directory. The customer service personnel will help you to get in touch with the nearest authorized workshop. In order to have your motorcycle repaired under warranty, you have to show your official Honda Service Warranty booklet and card. Unfortunately due to spare parts availability matters in some countries, it may be difficult to obtain the full benefits of the Pan-European warranty system. Model specifications will vary from country to country within Europe and it is possible that the dealer will have some difficulties in getting the correct parts in time, or repairing your motorcycle. Because of this we recommend that you have all less urgent repairs conducted by your local Honda dealer on return. Honda in Europe (return to
