The Importance Of Maintenance - Honda CRF125F 2021 Owner's Manual

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. Careful
pre-ride inspections and good maintenance
are especially important because your
motorcycle is designed to be ridden over
rough off-road terrain.
To help you properly care for your
motorcycle, this section of the manual
provides a Maintenance Schedule.
The service intervals in this schedule are
based on average riding conditions.
More frequent service is needed if you
subject your motorcycle to severe use (such
as competition) or ride in unusually wet or
dusty areas.
Frequent servicing of the air cleaner is
especially important to help you avoid a
possible costly engine repair.
If your motorcycle overturns or becomes
involved in a crash, be sure your dealer
inspects all major parts, even if you are able
to make some repairs.
Improperly maintaining this motorcycle
or failing to correct a problem before
you ride can cause a crash in which you
can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner's manual.
