Spark Arrester - Honda TALON SXS1000S4X 2022 Owner's Manual

Refer to Safety Precautions on page 117.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 600 miles (1,000 km) or
100 operating hours to maintain its efficiency.
(USA only)
Regular servicing prevents carbon build up (which can diminish
engine performance) and also complies with USDA regulations for
regular maintenance to assure proper function. The spark arrester
prevents random sparks from the combustion process in your engine
from reaching the environment.
The use of safety glasses is recommended for this procedure.
Because of the possible fire hazard, check that there are no
combustible materials in the area before purging the spark arrester.
1. Select a well-ventilated area free of combustible materials and
make sure the exhaust pipe is cool.
2. Remove the bolt.
