Additional Maintenance Procedures
Servicing Your Honda 97
Additional Maintenance Procedures
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 25.
1. With your CRF on a box or optional workstand
(front wheel elevated), turn the handlebar to
the right and left to check for roughness in the
steering head bearings.
2. Stand in front of your CRF, grab the fork (at
the axle), look at the steering head, and push
the fork in and out (toward the engine) to check
for play in the steering head bearings.
If any roughness or play is felt, but you do not
see any movement in the steering head, the
fork bushings may be worn. Refer to the
Honda Service Manual for replacement or
adjustment procedures, or see your dealer.
1. Check the handlebar (1) for bends or cracks.
2. Check that the handlebar has not moved from
its proper position by inspecting the paint mark
(2).
3. Check the torque of the handlebar upper holder
bolts (3):
16 lbf·ft (22 N·m, 2.2 kgf·m)
Tighten the front bolts first.
Periodically, disconnect the throttle, clutch and hot
start cables at their upper ends. Thoroughly
lubricate the cable pivot points with a
commercially available cable lubricant. If the
clutch lever, hot start lever and throttle do not
operate smoothly, replace the cables.
Be sure the throttle returns freely and
automatically from fully open to fully closed, in all
steering positions.
