Introduction
Congratulations on choosing your Honda CRF
off-road 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 Honda was designed as a recreational
motorcycle for off-road use by one rider only.
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.
As you read this manual, you will find
information that is preceded by a
symbol. This information is intended to help you
avoid damage to your Honda, other property, or
the environment.
Unless you are mechanically qualified and have
the proper tools, you should see your Honda
dealer for the service and adjustment procedures
discussed in this manual.
NOTICE
There are responsibilities, restrictions, and
exclusions which apply to this warranty. Please
read the Honda Motorcycle Warranties Booklet
given to you by your Honda dealer at the line of
purchase.
It is important to realize that your warranty for
your Honda applies to defects in material or
factory workmanship. Your warranty coverage
does not apply to normal wear or deterioration
associated with using the motorcycle.
Your warranty coverage will not be voided if you
choose to perform your own maintenance.
However, you should have the proper tools and
service information and be mechanically
qualified. Failures that occur due directly to
improper maintenance or lack of maintenance are
not covered.
This motorcycle has no cooling fan. For this
reason, engine overheating and coolant loss will
occur if the engine is kept idling too long when
hot. Additionally, when riding in mud or sand, or
any condition that causes high engine load at low
vehicle speed, the time it takes for the engine to
overheat will be shortened, especially when the
ambient temperature is high. Continuing to
operate the unit in these conditions will result in
engine damage.
Whenever you ride, tread lightly. By staying on
established trails and riding only in approved
areas, you help protect the environment and keep
off-road riding areas open for the future.
If you have any questions, or if you ever need a
special service or repairs, remember that your
Honda dealer knows your CRF best and is
dedicated to your complete satisfaction.
Happy riding!
