To break in a new engine, limit the throttle to half or less for the first 15 hours, avoid prolonged full-throttle operation, and vary the engine speed. This helps to ensure proper seating of engine components.
The initial oil change should be done at 100 miles or 20 hours. Subsequent changes should be done every 600 miles or 100 hours, whichever comes first.
Honda recommends using Pro Honda GN4 4-stroke oil or an equivalent 10W-30 or 10W-40 oil that meets or exceeds JASO T 903 MA standards.
Check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness, ensure the fuel is fresh, and verify that the spark plug is in good condition. Also, inspect the air filter for clogs.
The recommended tire pressure is 12 psi for both front and rear tires. It's important to regularly check and maintain this pressure for optimal performance.
Remove the air filter from the air box, wash it in a non-flammable solvent, rinse with warm water and mild detergent, and let it dry completely. Re-oil with air filter oil before reinstalling.
Check the coolant level and ensure there are no leaks. Inspect the radiator for blockages or debris, and verify that the cooling fan is functioning properly.
Adjust the preload on the shocks to suit the terrain. For rough terrain, increase the preload to stiffen the suspension, and for smoother surfaces, decrease the preload for a softer ride.
Check the oil level, coolant level, brake fluid, tire pressure, and lights. Additionally, inspect the drive belt and brakes for wear.
Clean the vehicle thoroughly, change the oil and filter, fill the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer, disconnect the battery, and store in a dry, covered area. Cover exhaust openings to prevent moisture entry.
