CATALYTIC CONVERTER
This Scooter is equipped with a 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 acts on HC, CO, and NOx. A replacement unit must be an original
Honda part or its equivalent.
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 it. Mark your
scooter away from high grasses, dry leaves, or other flammables.
A defective catalytic converter contributes 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 scooter diagnosed and replaced if it is misfiring, backfiring stalling or otherwise
not running properly.
