Keeping your CRF well maintained is absolutely
essential to your safety. It's also a good way to
protect your investment, get
maximum performance, avoid breakdowns, and
have more fun.
To help keep your CRF in good shape, this
section includes a Maintenance Schedule for
required servicing and step-by-step instructions
for specific maintenance tasks. You'll also find
important safety precautions, information on oils,
and tips for keeping your Honda looking good.
The ICM (Ignition Control Module) system is
used on this motorcycle; consequently, routine
ignition timing adjustment is unnecessary. If you
want to check the ignition timing, refer to the
Honda Service Manual (page 168).
For information about the exhaust emission and
noise emission requirements of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
California Air Resources Board (CARB), see
page 158.
USA only
Maintenance, replacement or repair of the
emission control devices and systems may be
performed by any motorcycle repair
establishment or individual using parts that
are "certified" to EPA standards.
An optional tool kit may be available.
Check with your Honda dealer's parts
department.
