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 motorcycle is
designed to be ridden over rough off-road terrain.
To help you properly care for your motorcycle, 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 motorcycle to
severe use (such as competition) 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 motorcycle overturns or becomes involved in a
crash, be sure your Honda dealer inspects all major
parts, even if you are able to make some repairs.
