Before & After Competition Maintenance
Servicing Your Honda 33
Before & After Competition Maintenance
After practice or between motos 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 rim lock security.
• Check sprocket bolt and nut security.
• 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 pressure release screws (2) to release the
built-up pressure (in excess of normal
atmospheric pressure: 0 psi (0 kPa, 0 kgf/cm
2
)) in
the fork tubes. This pressure is caused by normal
fork action while riding. (If you are riding at
altitude, remember that fork pressure of 0 at sea
level will increase as elevation increases.)
It is important to the long term performance of
your CRF to practice a consistent maintenance
program. Right after the event is a good time to
begin your next maintenance cycle.
After Race Lubrication
Apply a light coating of rust-inhibiting oil to the
drive sprocket and any steel portions of the chassis
or engine where the paint has worn away.
This will prevent rusting of the exposed metal.
Apply rust-inhibiting oil more heavily if the event
was particularly wet or muddy. Take care to avoid
spraying any oil near the brake pads or the brake
discs.
Clean and lubricate the drive chain (page 96).
Be sure the chain is wiped clean and is dry before
lubricating the chain.
Take care to prevent catching your fingers between
the chain and sprocket.
