The Importance Of Maintenance - Honda CRF450X 2017 Owner's Manual & Competition Handbook

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 CRF is designed to be
ridden over rough off-road terrain.
To help you properly care for your CRF, 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 CRF to severe use 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 CRF overturns or is involved in a crash,
be sure your dealer inspects all major parts, even
if you are able to make some repairs.
Remember, proper maintenance is your
responsibility. Be sure to inspect your CRF
before each ride and follow the Maintenance
Schedule in this section.
