How To Use This Manual
The purpose of this Owner’s / Service Manual is to help
ensure that you obtain the greatest possible satisfaction
from your new COTA trialer; satisfaction with the
performance of the motorcycle, and through success in
competition.
If you plan to do any service on your COTA, section 3
describes standard maintenance and sections 4 through
6 contain information on repair, disassembly, assembly
and special tools.
Follow the Maintenance Schedule recommendation
(page 3-1) to ensure that your COTA is always in peak
operating condition.
Start-up recommendations
Adjusting the idle
If using your motorcycle at varying elevations, bear in
mind that you must adjust the idle; otherwise, you may
have problems operating the vehicle. (See page 3-8)
Engine start
If you have problems starting your vehicle, follow the
steps below:
1. Open the throttle all the way (100%) and hold.
2. Without releasing the throttle, operate the kick-starter
once or twice.
3. Close the throttle and start your motorcycle as normal
(page 1-2).
Importance Of Proper Preparation
Proper pre-competition preparation and regular service
is essential to rider safety and the reliability of the
motorcycle. Any error or oversight made by the technician
during preparation or servicing can easily result in faulty
operation, damage to the machine, or injury to the rider.
Parts Availability
Orders for the parts tend to be concentrated during the
season, so you need to plan your parts orders carefully.
To prevent delays in shipment, place orders on regularly
replaced and fast-wearing parts well ahead of the season
(page 3-2).
Authorized Manuals
The Service Manual used by your authorized dealer is
available from your Honda dealer or Helm, Inc. (USA only,
Canada: See your dealer to order authorized manuals.)
Also available, but not necessary to service your model,
is the Honda Common Service Manual, which explains
basic service information for various systems on Honda
motorcycles, scooters, and ATV.
The Winter Storage Guide in conjunction with the Owner’s
Manual and Service Manual can help you prepare your
Honda motorcycle, scooter, ATV, and SxS for winter
storage.
These Honda manuals are written for the professional
technician. However, if you possess the propper tools,
observe the safety standards, and are mechanically
capable, you should find them easy to use. Special Honda
tools are necessary for some procedures.
