Important Safety Information
Your ATV can provide many years of service and pleasure if you take
responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you
can meet while riding.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride.
You’ll find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual.
The following are a few that we consider to be most important.
Follow the Age Recommendation
The minimum recommended age for this ATV model is 16. Children
under age 16 should never operate this vehicle. Refer to the age
warnings provided in this manual and on the ATV.
Always ear Helmet W a
It’s proven fact: lmets significantly duce he a he re t numbe andr
severity f head njuries. always ear an o i So w approved motorcycle
helmet. lso recommend tha you wear eye ction, We a t prote sturdy
boots, oves, and othe protective ar . gl r ge (page 26)
Never Carry a Passenger
Your ATV is designed for one person only. There are no handholds,
footrests, or seat for a second person, so never carry a passenger. A
passenger could interfere with your ability to move around to
maintain your balance and control of the ATV.
ATV Safety 3
Important Safety Information
Ride Off-road Only
Your ATV is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The
tires are not made for pavement, and the ATV does not have turn
signals and other features required for use on public roads. If you
need to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your ATV
across.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other ATVs, take time to become familiar
with how this ATV works and handles. Practice in a safe area until
you build your skills and get accustomed to the ATV’s size and
weight.
Because any rashes m c involve nexperienced untrained riders, i or
weurge ll ders to take TV operator course pproved TV a ri a A a by the A
Safety nstitute (ASI). e . I Se p 28age

Be Alert for Off-road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you ride off-
road. Continually “read” the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs,
rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough
to allow time to see and react to hazards.
ATV Safety

Important Safety Information
Ride within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of ATV crashes. Never ride
beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant.
Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can
significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and ride
safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability
to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets
worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t
let your friends drink and ride either.
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It’s important to keep your ATV properly maintained and in safe
riding condition. Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if
you are stranded off-road far from your base. To help avoid
problems, inspect your ATV before every ride and perform all
recommended maintenance.
ATV Safety 5
Safety Labels
Your ATV comes with a hang tag and several labels containing
important safety information. Anyone who rides the vehicle should
read and understand this information before riding.
The labels should be considered permanent parts of the vehicle. If a
label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your dealer for
replacements.

Are You Ready to Ride?
Before you ride your ATV for the first time, we urge you to:
• Read this owner’s manual and the labels on your ATV carefully.
• Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
• Know how to operate all the controls.
Before each ride, be sure:
• You feel well and are in good physical and mental condition.
• You are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet (with chin strap
tightened securely), eye protection, and other protective
clothing.
• You don’t have any alcohol or drugs in your system.
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an
approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long
pants, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride.
Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear
can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you choose the proper gear.
Helmet 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.
Protective Apparel
Before Riding 27
Are You Ready to Ride?
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet
offers more. Regardless of the style, look for a DOT (Department of
Transportation) sticker on any helmet you buy (USA only). Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your
vision.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
• Sturdy off-road motorcycle boots to help protect your feet,
ankles, and lower legs.
• Off-road motorcycle gloves to help protect your hands.
• Riding pants with knee and hip pads, a riding jersey with padde d
elbows, and a chest/shoulder protector.
3
WARNING
Operating this ATV without wearing an
approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection,
and protective clothing could increase your
chances of severe injury or death in the event
of an accident.
Always wear an approved motorcycle helmet
that fits properly and wear eye protection
(goggles or face shield), gloves, boots, long-
sleeved shirt or jacket and long pants.
Before Riding
28
Are You Ready to Ride?
Developing your riding skills is an on-going process. Even if you have
ridden other ATVs, take time to become familiar with how this ATV
works and handles. Practice riding the ATV in a safe area to build
your skills. Do not ride in rough terrain until you get accustomed to
the ATV’s controls, and feel comfortable with its size and weight.
We urge all riders to take a ATV operator course approved by the
ATV Safety Institute (ASI). For information about the ASI training
course nearest you, call the national toll-free number; (800) 887-
2887 (USA only).
Other riding tips can be found in the Tips & Practice Guide for the
ATV Rider booklet that came with your ATV (USA only).
Rider Training
3
WARNING
Operating this ATV without proper
instruction could increase your risk of an
accident which could lead to serious injury or
death.
Beginning and inexperienced operators
should complete the certified training course
offered by Honda. They should then regularly
practice the skills learned in the course and
the operating techniques described in the
owner’s manual.
Before Riding 29
Are You Ready to Ride?
The minimum recommended age for this ATV model is 16. For
safety, never let children under 16 years old operate this vehicle.
This ATV is designed as an operator-only vehicle. The long seat is
designed to allow the rider to change body position, not for carrying
a passenger. Never let a passenger ride on the seat or on the front or
rear cargo racks.
Age Recommendation
3
WARNING
A child using an ATV that is not
recommended for their age could lose vehicle
control while riding, resulting in severe injury
or death.
A child under 16 should never operate an ATV
with engine size greater than 90cc.
No Passengers

WARNING
Carrying a passenger on this ATV greatly
reduces your ability to balance and control
this ATV and could cause a crash and you or
your passenger could be injured or killed.
Never carry a passenger on this ATV.

Is Your ATV Ready to Ride?
Before each ride, it’s important to inspect your ATV 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.
If your ATV has overturned or been involved in a collision, do not ride
the vehicle until it has been inspected by your dealer. There may be
damage or other problems you cannot see.
Check the following items before you get on the ATV:

Load Limits & Guidelines
Your Honda was designed as a rider-only ATV. It was not designed
to carry a passenger or cargo. A passenger or cargo could interfere
with your ability to move around to maintain your balance and
control of the ATV.
In addition, exceeding the weight limits or carrying an unbalanced
load can seriously affect your ATV’s handling, braking and stability.
Adding accessories or making modifications that change this ATV’s
design and performance can also make it unsafe. Also, the weight of
any accessories will reduce the maximum load the ATV can carry.
More specific information on load limits, accessories, and
modifications follows.
How much weight you put on your ATV, and how you load it, are
important to your safety. If you decide to carry cargo, you should be
aware of the following information.

WARNING
Overloading, improper loading, or carrying a
passenger can cause a crash and you can be
seriously hurt or killed.

• Never ride with a passenger. The ATV is not designed to carry a
passenger.
• Do not tow another vehicle.
• Never exceed the maximum weight limit.
• Make sure all cargo is secured before riding.

Accessories & Modifications
Modifying your ATV or using non-Honda accessories can make your
ATV unsafe.
Before you consider making any modifications or adding an
accessory, be sure to read the following information.
We strongly recommend that you use only Honda Genuine or Honda
Signature Accessories that have been specifically designed and
tested for your ATV. Because Honda cannot test all other
accessories, you must be personally responsible for proper selection,
installation, and use of non-Honda accessories.
Check with your dealer for assistance and always follow these
guidelines:
• Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce
ground clearance, limit suspension travel or steering travel, or
interfere with operating any controls.
• Make sure the accessory does not interfere with your ability to
shift body position on the seat or operate hand and foot controls.

Safe Riding Precautions
You should never ride your ATV on public streets, roads or highways,
even if they are not paved. Drivers of street vehicles may have difficulty
seeing and avoiding you, which could lead to a collision. In many states
it is illegal to operate ATVs on public streets, roads and highways.
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footpegs
when riding your ATV. This is important to maintain your balance and to
control the vehicle. Removing even one hand from the handlebars or one
foot from the footpegs can reduce your ability to control the ATV or could
cause you to lose your balance and fall off the ATV.

How to Stop the Engine
Basic Operation & Riding 53
Shifting Gears
3.
Release the brake pedal, gradually release the clutch
lever/parking brake lever, and increase engine speed by gradually
opening the throttle.
4.
When the speed increases, close the throttle, pull in the clutch
lever/parking brake lever, shift to 2nd gear by raising the shift
lever, and gradually release the clutch lever/parking brake lever
while gradually opening the throttle.
5.
Repeat this sequence to progressively upshift to 3rd, 4th and 5th
(top) gear.
6.
To downshift, reverse this sequence. Remember to close the
throttle each time you shift to the next lower gear.
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/parking brake lever in
completely before shifting. Improper shifting may damage the
engine, transmission, and drivetrain.
• Upshift to a higher gear or reduce throttle before engine rpm
(speed) gets too high. Learn the relationship between engine
sound and the normal shifting points.
• Downshift to a lower gear before you feel the engine laboring
(lugging) at low rpm.
• Avoid downshifting to help slow your ATV when engine rpm is
high. Downshifting when engine speed is near its allowable
maximum may over-rev the engine and possibly cause damage.
• To prevent transmission damage, do not coast or tow the ATV for
long distances with the engine off.
Recommended Shift Points
Ride in the highest gear that lets the engine run and accelerate
smoothly.
This will give you good fuel economy and effective emissions control.
Basic Operation & Riding
54
Riding in Reverse
If you need to ride in reverse, make sure the area behind you is clear
and only operate the ATV at low speed.
1.
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, pull in the clutch
lever/parking brake lever (1) and depress the shift lever (2) to shift
into 1st gear.
2.
Depress and hold down the rear brake pedal.
3.
Be sure there are no obstacles or people in the way.

WARNING
Applying only the rear brake abruptly when
operating in reverse gear could cause the
front wheels to lift off the ground and the
ATV could overturn backwards.
Carefully apply both the front and rear brakes
when stopping in reverse gear.
Basic Operation & Riding 57
Braking
Your ATV is equipped with disc braking systems which are
hydraulically activated. Depressing the brake pedal applies the rear
disc brake. Operating the brake lever applies the front disc brake.
As a general rule, the front braking system provides about 70
percent of total stopping power.
For full braking effectiveness, use both the pedal and lever
simultaneously. Using both braking systems will stop your ATV faster
with greater stability.
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 ATV.
For maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply the brake
lever and pedal controls.
Applying the brakes too hard may cause the wheels to lock and slide,
reducing control of your ATV. If this happens, release the brake
controls, steer straight ahead until you regain control, then reapply
the brakes more gently.
When possible, reduce your speed or complete braking before
entering a turn. Avoid braking or closing the throttle quickly while
turning. Either action may cause one or more wheels to slip and
reduce your control of your ATV.
Basic Operation & Riding
58
Braking
Your ability to brake in a turn and to brake hard in an emergency
situation are important riding 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.
To prevent stalling the engine, pull the clutch lever/parking brake
lever in before coming to a complete stop.
Riding with your foot resting on the brake pedal or your hand on the
brake lever may overheat the brakes, reducing effectiveness.
For information on how to apply the brakes in various riding
situations, see the following section, Riding Your ATV.
Basic Operation & Riding 59
Riding Your ATV
Learn how to turn your ATV properly. Practice the techniques
outlined in this section on level ground and at low speeds until you
are confident in making turns.
Making Turns
3
WARNING
Turning improperly can make the ATV go out
of control, causing a collision or overturn.
• Always follow proper procedures fo r
turning as described in this owner’s manual.
• Practice turning at low speeds before
attempting to turn at faster speeds.
• Do not turn at excessive speeds.
Basic Operation & Riding
60
Riding Your ATV
To make a turn on level ground: Steer the handlebar and lean your
body toward the inside of the turn. Leaning helps balance the
vehicle, and it feels more comfortable. Leaning into a turn is an
important technique to master in riding an ATV.
To make a sharp turn at low speed: It helps to shift your body slightly
forward on the seat, and lean inside, as you steer the handlebar.
Shifting weight forward allows the rear wheels to turn easier, and it
also improves front-wheel steering.
To make a turn from a full stop: Apply the throttle gradually when
you turn and start up at the same time. Remember to shift your body
forward to make sharp low-speed turns and whenever you turn
while accelerating from a full stop.
Lean your body to the inside of a turn and forward.
Basic Operation & Riding 61
Riding Your ATV
The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding
during a turn is more likely to occur on slippery surfaces, such as
snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may lose all
directional control. To avoid skidding on slippery terrain, keep your
speed low and ride with caution.
If your ATV skids sideways during a turn, steer in the direction of the
skid. Avoid hard braking or accelerating until you have regained
directional control.
Skidding or Sliding
3
WARNING
Skidding or sliding improperly may cause you
to lose control of this ATV. You may also
regain traction unexpectedly, which may
cause the ATV to overturn.
Learn to safely control skidding by practicing
at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain.
Basic Operation & Riding
62
Riding Your ATV
The ATV’s ability to safely climb hills largely depends on the rider’s
skill and judgment. Begin by practicing on smooth, gentle slopes. As
you gain experience, you’ll learn the hazards and your own
limitations. You may then proceed to ride on more difficult terrain.
However, you must be able to decide which hills or hazards might
cause the ATV to overturn. Avoid excessively steep hills.
When climbing hills, you must shift weight toward the front wheels
to help keep them on the ground. To do this, shift your body slightly
forward on the seat and lean forward. For greater weight shift, move
your body farther forward and lean forward.
Riding Up Hills
3
WARNING
Operating on excessively steep hills can cause
the vehicle to overturn more easily than
operating on level surfaces or small hills.
Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for
the ATV or for your abilities.

Basic Operation & Riding
64
Riding Your ATV
Stalling the ATV and/or Rolling Backwards:
If you incorrectly estimate climbing capability or terrain conditions,
the ATV may not have enough power or traction to continue uphill.
If this happens, the ATV can stall and/or roll backwards.
What to do if the ATV stalls or rolls backwards when climbing a hill:
If you are about to lose all forward speed:
1.
Using the front and rear brakes together, bring the ATV to a stop
with the vehicle pointed straight uphill.
2.
Get off the ATV while you continue holding the brakes.
3.
Shift into neutral, set the parking brake and turn the engine off.
4.
Then assess the situation.
If the ATV starts rolling backwards before you begin braking:
1.
Keep your weight uphill.
2.
Carefully apply the front brakes first, then carefully apply the rear
b rake. Do not apply the rear brake only or abruptly if you ar e
rolling backwards, or the vehicle may overturn.
If the ATV continues sliding backwards:
After you’ve applied the brakes, get off and away from the vehicle.
3
WARNING
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly
dismounting while climbing a hill could result
in the ATV overturning.
Always follow proper procedures for climbing
a hill as described in this owner’s manual.
Basic Operation & Riding 65
Riding Your ATV
What to do after the ATV has stalled or rolled backwards:
If the hill is too steep or too slippery, or if you have any doubt
whether you can safely walk the ATV back down the hill, leave the
vehicle where it is and get help. If possible, block the wheels so the
vehicle doesn’t roll backwards.
If the hill is not too steep and you have good footing, you may be
able to walk the ATV back down the hill. Make sure your intended
path is clear in case you lose control of the ATV.
1.
Stand with your body facing downhill, beside the vehicle so you
can reach the front brake lever with your left hand.
2.
Be sure your legs are clear of the wheels.
Check your footing.
3.
Slowly and carefully back the ATV down the hill using the front
brake lever to control speed.

shift your weight back with your arms extended and braced against
the handlebar, then go down slowly with the throttle closed.
Use mainly the rear brake to control speed. Avoid using the front
brake hard or abruptly when riding down hills.
Remember, braking effectiveness is reduced on any hill with a loose
surface.
Riding on hills or slopes is different from riding on level terrain. Be
careful when riding on any hill. Make sure that you practice on
gentle, smooth slopes before attempting to ride on steeper or more
difficult terrain.
Crossing or Turning on Hills or Slopes
3
WARNING
Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills
could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to
overturn.

Maintenance Record
Keeping an accurate maintenance record will help ensure that your
ATV is properly maintained. Retain detailed receipts to verify the
maintenance was performed. If the ATV is sold, these receipts should
be transferred with the ATV to the new owner. Make sure whoever
performs the maintenance completes this record. All scheduled
maintenance, including the 100 mile (150 km) or 20 hours initial
maintenance, is considered a normal owner operating cost and will
be charged for by your dealer. Use the space under Notes to record
anything you want to remind yourself about or mention to your

Suspension
Your front and rear suspension systems use springs and hydraulic
damping devices that suspend your weight and most of the weight
of your ATV.
The spring pre-loads for your suspension system adjust the amount
of force required to begin compression of the spring.
The oil damper systems hydraulically control the natural compression
and rebound of the suspension springs so that traction and comfort
are maintained as the wheels ride over rough terrain.
Consider adjusting your suspensions pre-load whenever you change
your normal load, by adding or subtracting accessories, or when the
road or riding conditions change.
The way you ride your ATV and the type of ride you want to
experience can also influence your suspension needs.
You may adjust the spring pre-load of both suspension systems. You
may also adjust the rebound damping of the rear suspension system.
Lower spring pre-load provides a softer ride and is usually preferred
for light loads and smooth terrain. Higher spring pre-load provides a
firmer ride and is recommended for heavy loads, rough terrain, and
faster, more challenging riding.

Compression Damping
To adjust to the standard position:
1.
Turn the damping adjuster (4) clockwise until it will no longer
turn (lightly seats). This is the full hard setting.
2.
Turn the adjuster counterclockwise approximately 2 1/4 turns so
that the punch mark (5) on the adjuster aligns with the reference
punch mark (6). This is the standard position.
To Reduce Compression Damping (SOFT):
For a light load and smooth road conditions, turn the adjuster
counterclockwise toward SOFT (S).
To Increase Compression Damping (HARD):
For a firmer ride and rough road conditions, turn the adjuster
clockwise toward HARD (H).
