Catalytic converter — general information (XL650V models) (Honda XRV750)

0

1. A catalytic converter is incorporated in the exhaust system to minimise Ihe level of exhaust pollutants released Into the atmosphere. It is of the open-loop type, with no feedback to the ignition or fueling systems.

2. The catalyst is automatic in operation and requires no maintenance. The following precautions should, however, be observed.

• DO NOT use leaded or lead replacement petrol (gasoline) - the additives will coat the precious metals, reducing their converting efficiency and will eventually destroy the catalytic converter.
• Always keep the ignition and fuel systems well-maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's schedule - if the fuel/air mixture is suspected of being incorrect have it checked on an exhaust gas analyser.
• DO NOT use fuel or engine oil additives - these may contain substances harmful to the catalytic converter.
• DO NOT continue to use the bike if the engine burns oil to the extent of leaving a visible trail of blue smoke.
• Remember that the catalytic converter is FRAGILE - take care not to strike the exhaust system with tools during servicing work.
