The Importance of Maintenance
Servicing Your Honda
A well-maintained ATV is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-
free riding. It will also help reduce air pollution. Careful pre-ride
inspections and good maintenance are especially important because your
ATV is designed to be ridden over rough off-road terrain.
To help you properly care for your ATV, this section of the manual
provides a Maintenance Schedule. The service intervals in this schedule
are based on average riding conditions.
More frequent service is needed if you subject your ATV to severe use
or ride in unusually wet or dusty areas.
If your ATV overturns or is involved in a crash, be sure your Honda
dealer inspects all major parts, even if you are able to make some repairs.
Frequent servicing of the air cleaner is especially important to help you
avoid a possible costly engine repair.
