High Altitude Riding - Honda XR250R Owner's Manual

Do not downshift when travelling at a
speed that would force the engine to
overrev in the next lower gear, or cause
the rear wheel to lose traction.
CAUTION:
Do not shift gears without disengaging the
clutch and closing the throttle. The engine
and drive train could be damaged by
overspeed and shock.
* Do not tow the motorcycle or coast for long
distances while the engine is off. The
transmission will not be properly lubricated
and damage may result.

HIGH ALTITUDE RIDING

When operating this motorcycle at high
altitude the air-fuel mixture becomes overly
rich. Driveability and performance may he
reduced and fuel consumption increased. The
carburettor can be modified to compensate for
this high altitude richness. However, the
carburettor must be returned to standard
factory specifications when lower altitude
riding is desired. See your authorised Honda
dealer for this high altitude modification.
CAUTION:
Sustained operation at lower altitude's with
high altitude carburettor modifications may
cause engine overheating and damage.
