Servicing Your Honda
29
General Competition Maintenance
Perform maintenance on firm, level ground
using the side stand, a workstand, or equivalent
support.
When tightening bolts, nuts or screws, start with
the larger diameter or inner fasteners, and tighten
them to the specified torque using a crisscross
pattern.
Use Honda Genuine Parts or their equivalent
when servicing your CRF.
Clean parts in non-flammable (high flash point)
cleaning solvent (such as kerosene) when
disassembling. Lubricate any sliding surface, O-
rings, and seals before reassembling. Grease parts
by coating or filling where specified.
After any engine disassembly, always install
new gaskets, O-rings, cotter pins, piston pin
clips, snap rings, etc. when reassembling. After
reassembly, check all parts for proper installation
and operation.
