Servicing Your Honda 73
Periodic Maintenance
In addition to the regularly scheduled maintenance (page 74) and daily pre-ride
inspection (page 41), consider performing the periodic checks on the following
page at least once a month, even if you haven’t ridden your motorcycle, or as
often as once a week if you ride frequently or for long distances. It’s a good idea
to perform this maintenance any time you clean your motorcycle.
Check the odometer reading and perform any scheduled maintenance checks
that are needed (page 74). Remember, more frequent checks may be needed for
riding in severe conditions.
Tires
&
Wheels
Check the air pressure with a gauge and add air if needed
(page 125).
Examine the tread for wear (page 126).
Look closely for nails, embedded objects, cuts, and other
types of damage (page 126). Rotate the rear wheel so you
can inspect the entire surface.
Check the condition of the wheels.
Fluids Check the levels of the engine oil (page 100), coolant
(page 105), brake fluid (page 120), clutch fluid (page
112), and final drive oil (page 109). Add the correct fluid
as necessary, and investigate the cause of any low fluid
level.
Lights Make sure the headlight, brake light, taillight, and turn
signals
are working properly.
Freeplay Check the freeplay of the throttle grip (page 111).
Fuses Make sure you have a full supply of spare fuses.
Nuts & Bolts Check the major fasteners and tighten as needed.
