This motorcycle is equipped with catalytic
converter.
The catalytic converter contains precious
metals that serve as catalysts, promoting
chemical reactions to convert the exhaust
gasses without affecting the metals.
The catalytic converter act on HC, CO, and
NOx. Replacement parts must be original
Honda parts or equivalents.
The catalytic converter must operate at a high
temperature for the chemical reactions to take
place. It can set on fire any combustible
materials that come near them. Park your
motorcycle away from high grass, dry
leaves,or other flammables.
Defective catalytic converter contribute to air
pollution, and can impair your engine’s
performance. Follow these guidelines to
protect your motorcycle’s catalytic converter.
• Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small
amount of leaded petrol can contaminate
the catalyst metals, making the catalytic
converter ineffective.
• Keep the engine tuned-up.
• Have your motorcycle diagnosed and
repaired if it is misfiring, backfiring, stalling
or otherwise not running properly.
