General Competition Maintenance
28 Servicing Your Honda
Fuel Line
Refer to Fuel Line Inspection on pages 44 and 54.
Check the fuel line for deterioration, damage, or
leakage.
Replace the fuel line every year.
Engine Mounting Bolts and Nuts
Make sure the engine mounting bolts and nuts
are tightened to the proper torque specification.
Electrical Connectors
Clean electrical connectors and wrap them with electrical tape
to reduce the possibility of unwanted disconnections, water
shorts or corrosion.
Frame
Because your CRF is a high-performance machine,
the frame should not be overlooked as part of your
overall competition maintenance program.
Periodically inspect the frame closely for possible
cracking or other damage. It makes good racing
sense.
Spokes
Check spoke tension frequently between the first few rides.
As the spokes, spoke nuts and rim contact points seat-in, the spokes
may need to be retightened. Once past this initial seating-in period, the
spokes should hold their tension. Still, be sure your moto (CRF250R)/
race (CRF250RX) maintenance program includes checking spoke
tension and overall wheel condition on a regular basis (page 123).
Nuts, Bolts, Etc.
Application of a thread locking agent to essential fasteners offers added
assurance and security. Remove the nuts, clean the threads of both the
nuts and bolts, apply Pro Honda Hondalock or an equivalent and
tighten to the specified torque.
Fork Oil/Performance
Disassemble, clean and inspect the fork and replace the oil
regularly. Contamination due to the tiny metal particles
produced from the normal action of the fork, as well as
normal oil breakdown, will deteriorate the performance of
the suspension. Refer to an official Honda Service Manual
(page 186). Use only Pro Honda HP Fork Oil, A15-00 or an
equivalent which contains special additives to assure
maximum performance of your CRF’s front suspension.
Steering Head Bearings
Periodically clean, inspect and regrease the steering head
bearings — especially if wet, muddy or extremely dusty
courses are encountered often.
Use urea based multi-purpose grease designed for high
temperature, high pressure performance (example:
EXCELITE EP2 manufactured by KYODO YUSHI, Japan).
Battery
The start button uses current from the battery.
Limited operation also allows the battery to discharge. If you
do not ride frequently, we recommend that you charge the
battery frequently (see Battery Charging on page 138).
If you do not expect to ride your CRF for at least 2 weeks, we
recommend you remove the battery – or at least disconnect the
battery cables (negative cable first).
Gaskets
Always use new gaskets when reassembling
components.
Cylinder head/Cylinder
Put a little grease on the dowel pins of the cylinder head
and cylinder to prevent corrosion from dissimilar metals.
The tolerances are quite tight, so it’s important to keep
these dowels absolutely clean (pages 93, 95).
