A 2005 Honda CRF250R. I'm very excited, and cant wait to hit the trails and track.
Since I know very little about dirtbikes, and am new to this sport, I decided to read the owner's manual from cover to cover.
I must say, that the maintence is a little overwhelming, compared to the street bike and waverunner I've owned in the past. I'm pretty mechanical, and I knew these things were high maintenence, but it seems like you can completely ruin the motor, very very easily.
Is that just Honda being overly cautious, or is it really that easy to ruin the machine?
I am going tonight to buy oil, trans oil, air filters, oil filters, coolant and chain lube etc. Since it is used, I want to do a complete systems check and refresh all the fluids and filters. I only know what the seller told me about it's history.
Any advice on taking care of these bad boys?
Much thanks. Super excited in Texas!
