Taking Care of the Unexpected
The drive chain, master link, brake lever or
pedal, control cables, and other components
can be damaged as you ride in dense brush or
over rocky terrain. Making a trailside repair
depends on how serious the damage is and
what tools and supplies you have with you.
If the drive chain comes off because the
master link clip gets knocked off, you may
be able to put the chain back on with a new
master link. However, if the chain breaks or
does other damage when it comes off, you
may not be able to make a trailside repair.
If you lose your key and aren’t carrying a
duplicate, either get your spare or have one
made. If you don’t know your key number, call
the dealer where you purchased your Honda.
They may have it listed in their records. If they
don’t, transport your motorcycle to them or the
nearest dealer. The dealer will probably have to
remove the ignition switch assembly to find the
key number so they can make a key for you.
(cont’d)
Be sure to record the key number provided with
the original keys. Store the spare key and
recorded key number in a safe location. You’ll
need this number to have a duplicate key made.
