Maintenance Schedule

To maintain the safety and reliability of your vehicle, regular inspection and service is required as shown in the Maintenance Schedule that follows.


The Maintenance Schedule lists items that can be performed with basic mechanical skills and hand tools. Procedures for these items are provided in Competition Handbook. The Maintenance Schedule also includes items that involve more extensive procedures and may require special training, tools, and equipment. Therefore, we recommend that you have your dealer perform these tasks unless you have advanced mechanical skills and the required tools. Procedures for items in this schedule are provided in an official Honda Shop Manual available for purchase from your dealer.

CRF250RX

Service intervals in the maintenance schedule are expressed in terms of races and riding hours. To avoid overlooking required service, we urge you to develop a convenient way to record the number of races and/or hours you ride.

CRF250R

Service intervals in the maintenance schedule are expressed in terms of heats and riding hours. To avoid overlooking required service, we urge you to develop a convenient way to record the number of heats and/or hours you ride.


If you do not feel capable of performing a given task or need assistance, remember that your Honda dealer knows your vehicle best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it. If you decide to do your own maintenance, use only Honda Genuine Parts or their equivalents for repair or replacement to ensure the best quality and reliability.

Perform the Pre-ride Inspection () at each scheduled maintenance period.
