Right Fork Disassembly - Honda CRF250R Owner's Manual

Right Fork Disassembly

• If your CRF is brand-new, put enough part-
throttle break-in time (about 1 hour) on it to
ensure that the suspension has worked in.
• When disassembling the fork, turn the
compression (1) and rebound (2) damping
adjusters counterclockwise to the softest position
to prevent damaging the adjustment needle (be
sure to record the number of turns from the
starting position).
