Assist-slipper Clutch System
CRF1000A/A II
The assist-slipper clutch system helps to prevent
the rear tire from locking up when the
deceleration of your motorcycle produces a
strong engine braking effect. It also makes the
clutch lever operation feel lighter.
Use only MA classification engine oil for your
motorcycle. Using engine oil other than MA
classification oil could result in damage to the
assist-slipper clutch system.
Throttle by Wire System
This model is equipped with a Throttle by Wire
System.
Do not put magnetized items or items
susceptible to magnetic interference near the
right handlebar switches.
Caring for Your Motorcycle
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean
motorcycle makes it easier to spot potential
problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of
corrosion. Always wash your motorcycle
thoroughly after riding on coastal or treated
roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
1.
Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly using a low
pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.
2.
If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel
with mild cleaner to remove road grime.
u Clean the windscreen, headlight lens,
panels, and other plastic components
with extra care to avoid scratching them.
Avoid directing water into the air cleaner,
muffler, and electrical parts.
