Storing Your Honda
If you won’t be riding for an extended period, such
as during the winter, thoroughly inspect your
Honda and correct any problem before storing it.
That way, needed repairs won’t be forgotten and it
will be easier to get your CRF running again.
To reduce or prevent deterioration that can occur
during storage, also follow the following
procedures.
1. Completely clean all parts of your CRF. If your
CRF has been exposed to sea air or salt water,
wash it down with fresh water and wipe dry.
2. Change the engine oil and filter (page 37).
3. Replace the transmission oil (page 40).
4. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor
into an approved gasoline container.
Turn the fuel valve OFF and loosen the
carburetor drain screw. Drain gasoline into an
approved container. Retighten the drain screw.
5. Remove the radiator cap and coolant drain
bolt/sealing washer (1) at the water pump (2) to
drain coolant.
After the coolant has been completely drained,
ensure that the drain bolt sealing washer is in
good condition and install the drain bolt/
sealing washer and radiator cap.
Coolant drain bolt:
7 lbf·ft (10 N·m, 1.0 kgf·m)
6. Lubricate the drive chain.
7. Inflate the tires to their recommended
pressures.
8. Place your CRF on an optional workstand or an
equivalent to raise both tires off the ground.
9. Stuff a rag into the muffler outlet. Then tie a
plastic bag over the end of the muffler to
prevent moisture from entering.
10. Store your CRF in an unheated area, free of
dampness, away from sunlight, with a
minimum of daily temperature variation.
11. Cover your CRF with a porous material.
Avoid using plastic or similar non-breathing,
coated materials that restrict air flow and allow
heat and moisture to accumulate.
1. Uncover and clean your CRF.
Change the engine and transmission oil if more
than 4 months have passed since the start of
storage.
2. Uncover the end of the muffler and remove the
rag from the muffler outlet.
3. Fill the fuel tank with the recommended fuel
(page 34).
4. Pour a fresh recommended coolant mixture
(page 41) slowly into the radiator fill hole up to
the filler neck.
Capacity:
0.80 US qt (0.76 ℓ)
after disassembly
Lean your CRF slightly right and left several
times to bleed trapped air in the cooling
system.
If the coolant level lowers, add coolant and
repeat the above procedure.
Install the radiator cap securely.
5. Perform all maintenance checks (page 9).
Preparation for Storage
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. You can be burned or seriously
injured when handling fuel.

and flame away.
