GENERAL INFORMATION
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the California Air Resources Board (CAR B) require that off-road
motorcycle comply with applicable exhaust emissions standards during its useful life, when operated and maintained
according to the instruction provided.
SOURCE OF EMISSIONS
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen , and hydrocarbons. Controlling hydrocarbons and
oxides of nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when
subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. utilizes various systems to reduce carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen , and hydrocarbons.
EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The exhaust emission control system is composed of appropriate carburetor setting, no adjustments should be made
except for high altitude setting and idle speed adjustment with the throttle stop screw. The exhaust emission control
system is separate from the crankcase emission control system .
CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging crankcase emissions into the atmosphere.
~Iow-by gas is returned to the combustion chamber through the air cleaner and carburetor.

ACAUTION
Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedl y lett in con tact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is
unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it Is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and
water as soon as possible after handling used oit.
The oil pump service requires engine removal.

The service procedures in this section must be performed with the engine oil drained.
When (emalling and installing the oil pump. use care not to allow dust or dirt to enter the engine.
If any portion of the oil pump is worn beyond the specified service limits, replace the oil pump as an assembly.
After the oil pump has been installed, check that there are no oil leaks and thai oil pressure is correct.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Engine top-end problems usually affect engine performance . These problem can be diagnosed by a compression test or
bV tracing engine noises to the top-end with a sounding rod stethoscope.
If the performance is poor at low speeds, check for white smoke in the crankcase breather hose. If the hose is smoky
check for a seized piston ring (page 8-5).

SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
Frequent inhalation of brake shoe dust, regardless of material composition could be hazardous to your health .
Avoid breathing dust particles.
Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner.
A contaminated brake drum or shoe reduces stopping power. Discard contaminated shoes and clean a contaminated
drum with a high quality brake degreasing agent.
When servicing the rear wheel, support the motorcycle using a safety stand or hoist.
Use genuine Honda replacement bolts and nuts for all suspension pivots and m ounting points.

IGNITION SYSTEM
SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
When servicing the ignition system, always follow the steps in the troubleshooting sequence on page 14-4.
The COl ignition system uses an electrically controlled ignition timing system. No adjust ments can be made to the igni-
tion timing .
The leM may be damaged if dropped. Also if the connector is disconnected when current is flowing, the excessive volt-
age may damage the module.
A faulty ignition system is often related to poor connections. Check those connections before proceeding.
Use spark plug of the correct heat range. Using spark plug with an incorrect heal range can damage the engine.
For alternator and ignition pulse generator removal and installation, See page 10-3.
