If you won’t be riding for an extended period,
such as during the winter, thoroughly inspect
your Honda and correct any problem before
storing it. That way, needed repairs won’t be
forgotten and it will be easier to get your CRF
running again.
To reduce or prevent deterioration that can occur
during storage, also follow the following
procedures.
Preparation for Storage

your CRF has been exposed to sea air or salt
water, wash it down with fresh water and wipe
dry.

3. Change the transmission oil (page 46).
4. Drain the fuel tank and carburetor into an
approved petrol container.
