GENERAL INFORMATION
EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The exhaust emission control system is composed of a three-way catalytic converter and PGM-FI system.
THREE-WAY CATALYTIC CONVERTER
This scooter
is
equipped with a three-way catalytic converter.
The three-way catalytic converter
is
in
the exhaust system. Through chemical reactions, they converts
HC,
CO
and NOx
in
the
engine's exhaust
to
carbon dioxide
(CO2),
nitrogen
(N2)
and water vapor.
No
adjustment to the system should
be
made, although periodic inspection
of
the components
is
recommended.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (EXCEPT AFTER '13 MODEL
CM
TYPE)
This model complies with CARB evaporative emission requirements. Fuel vapor from the fuel tank [1] is routed into the evaporative
emission (EVAP) canister
[2]
where absorbed and stored while the engine
is
stopped. When the engine
is
running and the
evaporative emission (EVAP) purge control solenoid valve
[3]
is
open, fuel vapor
in
the EVAP canister
is
drawn into the engine
through the intake pipe [4].

FUEL PERMEATION EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
[1]
<===i
FRESH
AIR
FUEL
VAPOR
This scooter complies with the Fuel Permeation Emission Control regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
California Air Resources Board (CARB), and Environment Canada (EC). The fuel tank, fuel hoses, and fuel vapor charge hoses
used
on
this scooter incorporate fuel permeation control technologies. Tampering with the fuel tank, fuel hoses, or fuel vapor
charge hoses to reduce or defeat the effectiveness of the fuel permeation technologies
is
prohibited by federal regulations.
NOISE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
TAMPERING WITH THE NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM
IS
PROHIBITED: U.S. Federal law prohibits, and Canadian provincial law
may prohibit, the following acts or
th.e
causing thereof: (1) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person, other than for
purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any vehicle for the purpose of
noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate customer or while it
is
in
use: or
(2)
the use of the vehicle after
such
device
or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.
AMONG THOSE ACTS PRESUMED TO CONSTITUTE TAMPERING ARE THE ACTS LISTED BELOW:
1.
Removal
of,
or puncturing of the muffler, baffles, header pipes or any other component which conducts exhaust gases.
2.
Removal
of,
or puncturing
of
any part of the intake system.
3.
Lack of proper maintenance.
4.
Removing or disabling any emissions compliance component, or replacing any compliance component with a non-complaint
component.
