Servicing Your Honda; Before You Service Your Honda - Honda CR250R Owner's Manual & Competition Handbook

Keeping your CR 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 CR 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 CR looking good.
An ECU (Engine Control Unit) 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 136).
An optional tool kit may be avaiable. Check with
your Honda dealer's parts department.
