To change the oil, warm up the engine, turn it off, and place the ATV on a level surface. Remove the skid plate, drain the oil by removing the drain plug, replace the oil filter, and refill with new oil according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Honda recommends using SAE 10W-30, JASO T 903 standard MA, or Pro Honda GN4 4-stroke oil, ensuring it meets all specifications for optimal performance and protection.
Check the battery connections, ensure the battery is charged, inspect the spark plug for wear, and verify the fuel supply. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
The recommended tire pressure is 3.6 psi for the front tires and 3.6 psi for the rear tires. Always check the pressure when the tires are cold.
Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear, check for proper brake fluid levels, and ensure there is no air in the brake lines. Replace pads and fluid as necessary.
Stop riding and let the engine cool down. Check the coolant level and inspect for any leaks. Ensure the radiator is not blocked and the fan is operational.
General maintenance should be performed every 600 miles or 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. This includes checking fluid levels, brakes, tire pressure, and tightening any loose bolts.
Adjust the suspension by using the preload adjusters on the shocks. Rotate them clockwise to increase stiffness or counterclockwise to decrease stiffness, according to your riding preference and load conditions.
During the first 15 hours or 200 miles, avoid full-throttle starts and vary the engine speed while avoiding excessive RPMs. This will help ensure proper engine break-in and longevity.
Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and wash it with a mild detergent. Allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. Regular cleaning helps maintain engine efficiency.
