Gumby, I’ve seen that one too. As I recall it was on a European Honda dealer’s site, so I don’t see any problem posting a link to it here.
2013 Owner’s Manual http://www.hme-tc.be/TRG_LIB/NM2013/CB11...OM_ENG.pdf
2010 Owner’s Manual http://www.hondampe.com.au/docs/owning_a...0A2010.pdf
Manuals for some other Honda models are here http://www.hondampe.com.au/repository/ow...ycles.aspx
MrP, popgun means under the seat literally. Not in the little container where the tool kit lives, but in a clip on the underside of the seat.

That is all that I have found.
It works for service schedule.

I have a printed copy of the service schedule stapled to the garage wall next to my bike. Next to it is a gas mileage chart that I update after every day ride. The chart also includes a column for chain lubrication, my most frequent maintenance item.

Oh, so this is confession time . . . When I buy a new bike, I carefully transcribe all the maintenance requirements into a table with check boxes for each mileage interval and maintain this table in Word format. I print the table each time a maintenance interval comes up, then check off each item and annotate as needed when I do the work. Since I have (currently) six motorcycles, it's important to me to document everything. I cannot possibly remember when I changed final drive oil on one of the BMWs . . .
Since I am a retired engineer who worked extensively in technical writing, I also revise each maintenance sheet as appropriate and give each one a revision level and date.
Now I've come clean . . .

On reflection, I’m not going to confess anything here.

Now I've come clean . . . I'm worse than you. I created an Excel database which not only contains the maintenance schedule, but it records each time I have maintenance performed (description, mileage, date, cost). So it not only tracks maintenance history, but it alerts me to the next required maintenance based on the manufacturer's recommended mileage or date intervals. It also tracks mileage history so I can view how much I'm using each vehicle and also determine maintenance cost per mile over the life of the vehicle.

Love spreadsheets:
Vehicle maint
Major purchases
Watch battery replacement (for the wife)
Tool inventory (for insurance purposes)
Etc.
