Introduction
Congratulations on choosing your Honda CRF
motocross motorcycle.
When you own a Honda, you're part of a
worldwide family of satisfied customers-people
who appreciate Honda's reputation for building
quality into every product.
Your CRF is a high performance racing
motorcycle that utilizes the latest motocross
technology and is intended for competition use in
sanctioned, closed-course events by experienced
riders only.
Be aware that motocross is a physically
demanding sport that requires more than just a
fine motorcycle. To do well, you must be in
excellent physical condition and be a skillful
rider. For the best results, work diligently on
your physical conditioning and practice
frequently.
Before riding, take time to get acquainted with
your CRF and how it works. To protect your
investment, we urge you to take
responsibility for keeping your CRF well
maintained. Scheduled service is a must, of
course. But it's just as important to observe the
break-in guidelines, and perform all the pre-ride
and other periodic checks detailed in this manual.
You should also read the owner's manual before
you ride. It's full of facts,
instructions, safety information, and helpful tips.
To make it easy to use, the manual
contains a table of contents, a detailed list of
topics at the beginning of each section, and an
index at the back of the book.
