Before & After Competition Maintenance
30 Servicing Your Honda
Before & After Competition Maintenance
After practice or between motos (CRF250R)/races
(CRF250RX) you have a chance to make
additional checks and adjustments.
• Clean accumulated dirt from under the fenders
and off the wheels, suspension components,
handgrips, controls, and footpegs. A stiff,
nylon parts cleaning brush works well.
• Check tire air pressure.
• Check spoke tension, and make sure the rim
locks are secure.
• Check to make sure the sprocket bolts and nuts
are secure.
• Clean the sides of the drive chain with a stiff,
nylon parts-cleaning brush. Lubricate and
adjust the chain as necessary.
Do not perform maintenance while engine is
running. Injury to your fingers or hands may result.
• After adjustment, check that the chain adjuster
index marks (1) are in the same position on
each side. This will ensure that the rear wheel
is in proper alignment and allow maximum
performance from the rear disc brake.
Maintaining proper wheel alignment will also
extend brake pad wear.
• Suspend the front wheel above the ground and
use the air pressure release screws (2) to
release the built-up pressure in the forks. This
pressure is caused by normal fork action while
riding.
