Field repair

Fuse box
Main fuse box (with spare fuses) is located under the seat; the main 30A fuse itself is behind the left side cover, accessed by pulling out the starter magnetic switch and disconnecting its cable connector (a spare main fuse is stored on the starter magnetic switch)
Battery access
Behind the left shroud; disconnect negative first and reconnect it last.

Tube puncture repair and wheel refit

  1. 01Move the motorcycle fully clear of traffic, switch the ignition off and support it securely with the affected wheel clear of the ground; do not work beneath an unstable motorcycle.
  2. 02Follow the Honda handbook wheel-removal sequence for the affected end, preserving the order and orientation of axle, collars and brake components. Keep the brake lever or pedal untouched while its wheel is removed.
  3. 03Fully deflate the tube, break the tyre bead and use rim protectors plus three motorcycle tyre levers to lift one bead without pinching the tube.
  4. 04Remove the tube, find the puncture and inspect the tyre carcass and rim for the cause. Patch a serviceable tube with vulcanising cement, or fit the matching spare tube when damage cannot be repaired safely.
  5. 05Dust and place the tube without twists, refit the bead in small steps, then inflate gradually while checking that the bead line is even and the tube is not trapped.
  6. 06Refit the wheel in the Honda sequence, confirm the brake disc is correctly located, restore chain adjustment at the rear, and tighten every released fastener to the exact handbook torque with a calibrated torque wrench.
  7. 07Pump the brake until normal pressure returns, spin the wheel to confirm free rotation, set cold pressure to the year page specification and recheck the axle, brake and chain before riding slowly.
