Introduction
Introduction
Int r oduc t ion
Congratulations on choosing your Honda ATV.
When you own a Honda, you’re part of a worldwide family of
satisfied customers — people who appreciate Honda’s reputation
for building quality into every product.
Your Honda was designed as a recreational ATV for off-road use by
one rider only.
Before riding, take time to get acquainted with your ATV and how it
works. To protect your investment, we urge you to take
responsibility for keeping your ATV well maintained. Scheduled
service is a must, of course. But it’s just as important to observe the
break-in guidelines, and perform all pre-ride and other periodic
checks detailed in this manual.
We also recommend that you read this owner’s manual before you
ride. It’s full of facts, instructions, safety information, and helpful
tips. To make it easy to use, the manual contains a detailed list of
topics at the beginning of each section and an index at the back of
the book.
As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded
by a symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid
damage to your Honda, other property, or the environment.
Read the Warranties Booklet ( ) thoroughly so you page 199
understand the coverages that protect your new Honda and are
aware of your rights and responsibilities.
Whenever you ride, tread lightly. By staying on established trails and
riding only in approved areas, you help protect the environment and
keep off-road riding areas open for the future.

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 Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and
severity of head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle
helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy
boots, gloves, and other protective gear (page 30).
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 many crashes involve inexperienced or untrained riders, we
urge all riders to take a ATV operator course approved by the ATV
Safety Institute (ASI). See .page 32
Contact an authorized ATV dealer or call 1-800-887-2887 to find
out about the training courses nearest you.
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.

30
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 ap et (with chin strap proved motorcycle helm
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 31
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. 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 padded
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
32
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.
Other riding tips can be found in the Tips & Practice Guide for the
ATV Rider booklet that came with your ATV.
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 33
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

Are You Ready to Ride?
Alcohol, drugs and ATVs don’t mix. Even a small amount of alcohol
can impair your ability to operate an ATV safely. Likewise, drugs —
even if prescribed by a physician — can be dangerous while
operating an ATV. Consult your doctor to be sure it is safe to operate
a vehicle after taking medication.
No Alcohol or Drugs
3
WARNING
Operating this ATV after consuming alcohol
or drugs can seriously affect your judgement,
cause you to react more slowly, affect your
balance and perception, and result in serious
injury or death.

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. It can carry cargo on the cargo racks, however,
carrying cargo anywhere else or carrying a passenger could interfere
with 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.
Follow all load limits and other loading
guidelines in this manual.
Before Riding 39
Load Limits & Guidelines
Following are the load limits for your ATV:
There are limits to how much weight can be carried on your ATV and
be pulled in a trailer.
The following load limits apply to standard equipment only.
Modifying your ATV, using non-standard equipment, or riding on
terrain that is not flat and smooth could further reduce these limits.
Tongue weight can be measured with an ordinary bathroom scale.
Place the scale under the tongue, using either a tongue jack or other
support to keep the trailer level.
The weight of added accessories will reduce the maximum cargo
weight you can carry.

Load Limits & Guidelines
Carrying cargo or pulling a trailer will affect how your ATV handles
and greatly reduce its ability in accelerating, braking and making
turns and other maneuvers.
Be sure to observe the weight limits and follow these guidelines:
• Check that the tires are properly inflated.
• Do not place cargo anywhere on the ATV other than on the front
and rear racks. Otherwise, operating stability may be adversely
affected.
• Never ride with a passenger on the front or rear cargo racks. The
ATV is not designed to carry a passenger.
• Load cargo on the rear rack as far forward as possible. Make sure
cargo on the front rack does not interfere with handlebar
movement.
• Do not allow cargo to extend beyond the edges of either the
front or rear racks.
• Make sure all cargo is secured before riding.
• Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.
• Never exceed the maximum weight limit.
• When towing a trailer, take care to maintain balance and
stability. Distribute cargo between the front and rear of the trailer
to obtain the recommended tongue weight.
• Allow extra room for starting, stopping and turning whenever
you carry cargo or pull a trailer.
• Avoid riding on steep slopes when carrying cargo or pulling a
trailer.
• Never cross a slope when towing a trailer.

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 61
Braking
Your ATV is equipped with drum brakes on both front wheels which
are hydraulically activated by operating the front brake lever. A
single drum brake on the rear axle housing is mechanically activated
by depressing the brake pedal or operating the rear brake lever/
parking brake lever.
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.
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
62
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.
Riding with your foot resting on the brake pedal or your hands on
the brake levers 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 63
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 for
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
64
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 65
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

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

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 rear brake lever with your right 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 rear
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 either the
front brake or rear 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.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing
or turning on slopes as described in this
owner’s manual. Avoid crossing steep hills if
possible.
Basic Operation & Riding
72
Riding Your ATV
Crossing Hills or Slopes
• To maintain balance and stability when riding across a slope, you
need to shift weight toward the uphill side of the vehicle. To do
this, move your body off the center of the seat and lean toward
the uphill side.
• On a slippery or loose surface, you may also need to steer slightly
uphill to maintain a straight course across the slope.
• Avoid crossing hills that are excessively steep, slippery or rough.
Making Turns on Slopes
• Compared to riding on level ground, you may need to shift more
weight and lean more when making turns on slopes.
• Do not make turns on any slopes until you have first mastered the
techniques for making turns on level terrain.
Shift weight uphill when crossing slopes.

bumps, rain ruts, potholes and other obstacles in the terrain. When
you approach any obstacle, reduce your speed and be prepared to
stop.
Never try to ride over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen
logs.
Riding Over Obstacles

WARNING
Improperly operating over obstacles could
cause loss of control or a collision and could
cause the ATV to overturn.
When you go over obstacles, always follow
proper procedures as described in this
owner’s manual.
Basic Operation & Riding

Riding Your ATV
Your ATV is designed to travel through water up to approximately
10 inches (254 mm) deep. Before crossing a stream, make sure the
water is not too deep or flowing too fast.
1.
Choose a path where both banks have gradual slopes.
2.
Proceed through the water at a slow, steady speed.
3.
Watch out for submerged obstacles and slippery rocks.
4.
Avoid getting the spark plug or air cleaner wet, as this would
cause the engine to stop.
5.
After leaving the water, always test both the front and rear
brakes.
• Riding through water can make the brakes less effective than
normal, and may reduce stopping ability.
• If necessary, apply the brakes repeatedly until they dry out and
operate normally.
• If the brakes don’t regain effectiveness, stop your ATV and
follow the procedures on page 134.
Riding Through Water
3
WARNING
The ATV tires have some ability to float.
Operating this ATV through deep or fast-
flowing water may cause a loss of traction
and loss of control, which could lead to an
accident.
Never operate this ATV in fast-flowing water
or in water deeper than that specified in this
owner’s manual.

The Importance of Maintenance
A well-maintained ATV is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-
free riding. It will also help reduce air pollution. Careful pre-ride
inspections and good maintenance are especially important because
your ATV is designed to be ridden over rough off-road terrain.
To help you properly care for your ATV, this section of the manual
provides a Maintenance Schedule. The service intervals in this
schedule are based on average riding conditions.
More frequent service is needed if you subject your ATV to severe
use or ride in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Frequent servicing of the air cleaner is especially important to help
you avoid a possible costly engine repair.
If your ATV overturns or is involved in a crash, be sure your dealer
inspects all major parts, even if you are able to make some repairs.
3
WARNING
Improperly maintaining this ATV or failing to
correct a problem before you ride can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously hurt or
killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner’s manual.
Servicing Your Honda

Maintenance Safety
• Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will help eliminate several potential hazards:
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure
there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.
Burns from hot ATV parts. Let the engine and exhaust system
cool before touching.
Injury from moving parts. Do not run the engine unless
instructed to do so.
• Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have
the tools and skills required.
• To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be careful when
working around gasoline. Use only non-flammable solvent, not
gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away
from all fuel-related parts.
Remember that your Honda dealer knows your ATV best and is fully
equipped to maintain and repair it. To ensure the best quality and
reliability, use only new Honda Genuine Parts or other equivalents
for repair and replacement. If you have the tools and skills required
for additional maintenance jobs, you can purchase an official Honda

Engine Oil
Engine oil quality is a major factor that affects both the performance
and the service life of the engine.
Using the proper oil (page 97) and filter, and regularly checking,
adding, and changing oil will help extend your engine’s life. Even the
best oil wears out. Changing oil helps get rid of dirt and deposits in
the engine. Operating the engine with old or dirty oil can damage
your engine. Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause
serious damage to the engine and transmission.
Change the engine oil as specified in the maintenance schedule on
page 84. When running in very dusty conditions, oil changes should
be performed more frequently than specified in the maintenance
schedule.

corrosion, or carbon fouling. If the corrosion or deposits are
heavy, replace the plug. Clean a carbon or wet-fouled plug with
a plug cleaner, if available, or a wire brush. Inspect the spark plug
electrodes for wear. The center electrode (2) should have a flat tip
and sharp edges, and the side electrode (3) should not be eroded.
If the electrodes and insulator tip appear unusually fouled or
burned, we suggest that you contact your dealer.
5.
Discard the spark plug if there is apparent wear or if the insulator
is cracked or chipped.
6.
Using a wire-type feeler gauge, check the spark plug gap (4). If
adjustment is necessary, bend the side electrode carefully.
The gap should be:
0.031 – 0.035 in (0.80 – 0.90 mm)

Spark Plug
7.
With the plug washer attached, thread the spark plug in by hand
to prevent cross-threading.
8.
Tighten the spark plug:
• If the old plug is good:
1/8 turn after it seats.
• If installing a new plug, tighten it twice to prevent loosening:
a) First, tighten the plug:
b) Then loosen the plug.
c) Next, tighten the plug again:
1/8 turn after it seats.
NOTICE
An improperly tightened spark plug can damage the engine. If a
plug is too loose, a piston may be damaged. If a plug is too tight, the
threads may be damaged.
9.
Connect the spark plug cap. Take care to avoid pinching any
cables or wires.
NGK: 3/4 turn after it seats.
DENSO: 1/2 turn after it seats.

Refer to Safety Precautions on .page 81
Valve clearance should be:
Excessive clearance will cause noise. Insufficient clearance will cause
loss of power and possibly damage the valves.
For those who are mechanically proficient and have the proper tools,
instructions on adjusting valve clearances are given in the official
Honda Service Manual. Otherwise, the valves should be adjusted by
your dealer.

Brakes
The hydraulic drum brakes (front) and single mechanical drum brake
(rear) on your ATV dissipate heat generated by the friction of the
brake shoes on the drums as the wheels are slowed.
As the front brake shoes wear, brake fluid level will drop. A leak in
the system will also cause the level to drop.
Inspect the system before each ride to ensure there are no fluid
leaks. Periodically inspect the brake fluid level and front and rear
brake shoes for wear.
If the brake lever or brake pedal freeplay does not feel within the
normal range while riding, check the brake shoes for wear
( ). Worn shoes should be replaced. If the shoes are not page 132
worn beyond the recommended limit, there is probably air in the
brake system. See your dealer to have the air bled from the system.
The recommended brake fluid is Honda DOT 3 or DOT 4 Brake Fluid,
or any brake fluid of equal quality and performance. Use fresh brake
fluid from a sealed container. Be sure to read the label before
opening the sealed container. An opened container may be
contaminated or may have absorbed moisture from the air.
Brake Fluid Recommendation

Brakes
Wipe up spills immediately. Avoid brake fluid contact with skin or
eyes.
If it comes in contact with your eyes, wash them out with clean
water and immediately call a doctor. If it comes in contact with your
skin, wash with clean water and, if necessary, call a doctor.
• Make sure there are no fluid leaks.
• Check for deterioration or cracks in the hoses and fittings. If the
hoses are worn or cracked, have them replaced by your dealer.
