MAINTENANCE
The Importance of Maintenance
A well-maintained motorcycle is essential for safe,
economical and trouble-free riding. It will also help
reduce air pollution.
Because this motorcycle is capable of being ridden
over rough off-road terrain as well as on pavement,
careful pre-ride inspections and good maintenance
are especially important.
To help you properly care for your motorcycle, the
following pages include a Maintenance Schedule for
regularly scheduled maintenance.
These instructions are based on the assumption
that the motorcycle will be used exclusively for its
designed purpose. Sustained high speed operation
or operation in unusually wet or dusty conditions will
require more frequent service than specified in the
Maintenance Schedule. Consult your Honda dealer
for recommendations applicable to your individual
needs and use.
If your motorcycle overturns or becomes involved in a
crash, be sure your Honda dealer inspects all major
parts, even if you are able to make some repairs.
