The Importance Of Maintenance - Honda TRX500FM6 Owner's Manual

Before You Service Your Honda

The Importance of Maintenance

A well-maintained ATV 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 ATV is designed to be ridden over rough off-road terrain.
To help you properly care for your ATV, this section of the manual
provides a Maintenance Schedule. The service intervals in this
schedule are based on average riding conditions.
WARNING
Improperly maintaining this ATV or failing to
correct a problem before you ride can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously hurt or
killed.
Always follow the inspection and
maintenance recommendations and
schedules in this owner's manual.
Frequent servicing of the air cleaner is especially important to help
you avoid a possible costly engine repair.
If your ATV overturns or is involved in a crash, be sure your dealer
inspects all major parts, even if you are able to make some repairs.
