Additional Maintenance Procedures

Refer to Safety Precautions on page 19.
Steering Stem Inspection
1. With your CR on a box or workstand (front
wheel elevated), turn the handlebar to the
right and left to check for roughness in the
steering head bearings.
2. Stand in front of your CR, grab the fork (at
the axle), look at the steering head, and push
the fork in and out (toward the engine) to
check for play in the steering head bearings.
If any roughness or play is felt, but you do
not see any movement in the steering head,
the fork bushings may be worn. Refer to the
Honda Service Manual for replacement or
adjustment procedures, or see your Honda
dealer.
Handlebar Inspection
1. Check the handlebar (1) for bends or cracks.
2. Check that the handlebar has not moved from
its proper position (by inspecting the punch
mark alignment).
3. Check the torque of the upper holder bolts (2)
(Tighten the front bolts first).
