Frequently Asked Questions - CBF250 (2003) Honda

What type of fuel should I use for the Honda CBF250?

Use unleaded or low-lead petrol with a research octane number of 91 or higher. Unleaded petrol is recommended to reduce engine deposits and extend exhaust system life. Do not use petrol containing more than 10% ethanol or more than 5% methanol.

How do I check the engine oil level?

Start the engine and let it idle for 3-5 minutes. Stop the engine and hold the motorcycle upright on level ground. After 2-3 minutes, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it without screwing it in. Remove it again and check that the oil level is between the upper and lower marks. Add oil if necessary.

What is the recommended tyre pressure for the CBF250?

For rider only: front and rear 225 kPa (2.25 kgf/cm², 33 psi). For rider and passenger: front 225 kPa (2.25, 33 psi), rear 250 kPa (2.50, 36 psi). Always check tyre pressure when tyres are cold.

How do I adjust the drive chain slack?

Place the motorcycle on its side stand with the transmission in neutral. Loosen the axle nut and lock nuts on both sides of the swingarm. Turn both adjusting nuts equally until the chain slack at the middle of the lower run is 15-25 mm (0.6-1.0 in). Tighten the axle nut to 88 N·m and recheck slack.

What is the correct clutch lever free play?

The normal clutch lever free play is 10-20 mm (0.4-0.8 in). Adjust using the cable adjuster at the lever or the adjusting nut near the engine.

How do I start the engine when it is cold?

Pull the choke lever fully on (cold engine). With the throttle closed, press the starter button. After the engine starts, adjust the choke to maintain fast idle at 2,300-3,400 rpm. Push the choke fully off after about half a minute.

What should I do if the engine is flooded?

Leave the engine stop switch on RUN, push the choke lever fully off, open the throttle fully, and crank the engine for 5 seconds. If the engine starts, quickly close the throttle. If not, wait 10 seconds and repeat the normal starting procedure.

How often should I change the engine oil?

Change the engine oil every 6,000 km (4,000 miles) or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Use high-detergent oil meeting API SE, SF or SG. The viscosity should be based on ambient temperature (e.g., 10W-40 for most conditions).

What is the proper way to clean the motorcycle?

Use a mild detergent and water. Avoid high-pressure water on wheel hubs, ignition switch, carburetor, brakes, instruments, and other sensitive areas. After washing, rinse thoroughly, dry, and lubricate the drive chain. Test brakes before riding as they may be temporarily less effective.

How do I adjust the headlight aim?

Loosen the two bolts on the headlight case. Move the case up or down to adjust the beam vertically. Tighten the bolts after adjustment. Always obey local laws regarding headlight aim.

WELCOME

The motorcycle presents you a challenge to master the machine, a challenge to adventure. You ride through the wind, linked to the road by a vehicle that responds to your commands as no other does. Unlike an automobile, there is no metal cage around you. Like an airplane, a pre-ride inspection and regular maintenance are essential to your safety. Your reward is freedom.

To meet the challenges safely, and to enjoy the adventure fully, you should become thoroughly familiar with this owner's manual BEFORE YOU RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE.

When service is required, remember that your Honda dealer knows your motorcycle best. If you have the required mechanical "know-how" and tools, your dealer can supply you with an official Honda Service Manual to help you perform many maintenance and repair tasks.

Pleasant riding, and thank you for choosing a Honda!

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY

△WARNING

• Motorcycle riding requires special efforts on your part to ensure your safety. Know these requirements before you ride:

SAFE RIDING RULES

1. Always make a pre-ride inspection (page 42) before you start the engine. You may prevent an accident or equipment damage.

2. Many accidents involve inexperienced riders. Most countries require a special motorcycle riding test or license. Make sure you are qualified before you ride. NEVER lend your motorcycle to an inexperienced rider.

3. Many automobile/motorcycle accidents happen because the automobile driver does not "see" the motorcyclist. Make yourself conspicuous to help avoid the accident that wasn't your fault:

- Wear bright or reflective clothing. - Don't ride in another motorist's "blind spot."

1. O b e y a l l n a t i o n a l a n d l o c a l l a w s a n d regulations.

- Excessive speed is a factor in many accidents. Obey the speed limits, and NEVER travel faster than conditions warrant.

• Signal before you make a turn or lane change. Your size and maneuverability can surprise other motorists.

03/10/23 11:06:27 32KPF600_008

1. Don't let other motorists surprise you. Use extra caution at intersections, parking lot entrances and exits, and driveways.
2. Keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footpegs while riding. A passenger should hold on to the motorcycle or the operator with both hands and keep both feet on the passenger footpegs.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

1. Most motorcycle accident fatalities are due to head injuries: ALWAYS wear an approved motorcycle helmet. You should also wear a face shield or goggles as well as boots, gloves and protective clothing. A passenger needs the same protection.
2. The exhaust system becomes hot during operation, and it remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the exhaust system while it is hot. Wear clothing that fully covers your legs.
3. Do not wear loose clothing which could catch on the control levers, footpegs, drive chain or wheels.

03/10/23 11:06:30 32KPF600_009

MODIFICATIONS

▲WARNING

- Modification of the motorcycle, or removal of original equipment, may render the vehicle unsafe or illegal. Obeyallnationalandlocalequipment regulations.

03/10/23 11:06:37 32KPF600_010

LOADING AND ACCESSORIES

▲WARNING

* To prevent an accident, use extreme care when adding and riding with accessories and cargo. Addition of accessories and cargo can reduce a motorcycle's stability, performance and safe operating speed. Never ride an accessory-equipped motorcycle at speeds above 130 km/h (80 mph). And remember that this 130 km/h (80mph) limit may be reduced by installation of non-Honda accessories, improper loading, worn tyres and overall motorcycle condition, poor road or weather conditions. These general guidelines may help you decide whether or how to equip your motorcycle and how to load it safely.

Loading

Cargo weight alone should not exceed: 14 kg (31 lbs) The weight of added accessories will reduce the maximum cargo weight you can carry.

1. Keep cargo and accessory weight low and close to the center of the motorcycle. Load weight equally on both sides to minimize imbalance. As weight is located further from the motorcycle's center of gravity, handling is proportionally affected.

03/10/23 11:06:44 32KPF600_011

1. Vehicle handling and stability can be adversely affected by loose cargo. Recheck cargo security and accessory mounts frequently.
2. Do not attach large or heavy items (such as a sleeping bag or tent) to the handlebars, fork, or fender. Unstable handling or slow steering response may result.

Accessories

Genuine Honda accessories have been specifically designed for and tested on this motorcycle. Because the factory cannot test all other accessories, you are personally responsible for proper selection, installation, and use of non-Honda accessories. Always follow the guidelines under Loading, and these:

1. Carefully inspect the accessory to make sure it does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance and banking angle, or limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation.
2. Large fork-mounted fairings or windshields, or poorly designed or improperly mounted fairings can produce aerodynamic forces that cause unstable handling. Do not install fairings that decrease cooling air flow to the engine.

03/10/23 11:06:48 32KPF600_012

1. Accessories which alter your riding position by moving hands or feet away from controls may increase reaction time in an emergency.
2. Do not add electrical equipment that will exceed the motorcycle's electrical system capacity. A blown fuse could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.
3. This motorcycle was not designed to pull a sidecar or trailer. Handling may be seriously impaired if so equipped.

Fuel Tank

The fuel tank capacity including the reserve supply is:

16 ℓ (4.2 US gal, 3.5 lmp gal) To open the fuel fill cap (), insert the ignition key (2) and turn it clockwise. The fuel fill cap will pop up and can be lifted off. After refueling, to close the fuel fill cap, align the latch in the cap with the slot in the filler neck. Push the fuel fill cap into the filler neck until it snaps closed and locks. Remove the key. Use unleaded or low-lead petrol with a research octane number of 91 or higher. We recommend that you use unleaded petrol because it produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of exhaust system components.

CAUTION

* If "spark knock" or "pinking" occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, change brands of petrol. If spark knock or pinking persists, consult your Honda dealer. Failure to do so is considered misuse, and damage caused by misuse is not covered by Honda's Limited Warranty.

(3) Filler neck

03/10/23 11:09:02 32KPF600_034

Petrol Containing Alcohol

If you decide to use a petrol containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure it's octane rating is at least as high as that recommended by Honda. There are two types of "gasohol": one containing ethanol, and the other containing methanol. Do not use petrol that contains more than 10 % ethanol. Do not use petrol containing methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) that does not also contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors for methanol. Never use petrol containing more than 5 % methanol, even if it has cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.

NOTE

* Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of fuels that contain alcohol is not covered under the warranty. Honda cannot endorse the use of fuels containing methanol since evidence of their suitability is as yet incomplete.

- Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, try to find out if the fuel contains alcohol. If it does, confirm the type and percentage of alcohol used. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms while using a petrol that contains alcohol, or one that you think contains alcohol, switch to a petrol that you know does not contain alcohol.

03/10/23 11:09:10 32KPF600_035

ENGINE OIL

Engine Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level each day before riding the motorcycle.

The level must be maintained between the up pe d ( ) and l o w er ( ) level m dipstick ( R

1. Start the engine and let it idle for 35 minutes.
2. Stop the engine and hold the motorcycle in an upright position on firm, level ground.

3. After 2 3-minutes, remove the oil filler cap/dipstick (3), wipe it clean, and reinsert the oil filler cap/dipstick without screwing it in. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. The oil level should be between the upper (1) and lower ()2level marks on the oil filler cap/dipstick.

4. If required, add the specified oil (see pages 60p to the upper level mark. Do not overfill.

5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick. Check for oil leaks.

* Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine damage.

TUBELESS TYRES

This motorcycle is equipped with tubeless tyres, valves, and wheel rims. Use only tyres marked "TUBELESS" and tubeless valves on rims marked "TUBELESS TYRE APPLICABLE."

Proper air pressure will provide maximum stability, riding comfort and tyre life. Check tyre pressure frequently and adjust if necessary.

NOTE:

* Tyre pressure should be checked before you ride while the tyres are "cold".
- Tubeless tyres have some degree of selfsealing ability if they are punctured, and leakage is often very slow. Inspect very closely for punctures, especially if the tyre is not fully inflated.

03/10/23 11:09:31 32KPF600_037

Check the tyres for cuts, em bRepladedydes before tread depth at the or other sharp objects. Check the rims for dents or deformation. If there is any center of the tyre reaches the following limit:

damage, see your Honda dealer for repair, replacement, and balancing.

Minimum tread depth
Front:	1.5 mm (0.06 in)
Rear:	2.0 mm (0.08 in)

▲WARNING

* Improper tyre inflation will cause abnormal tread wear and create a safety hazard. Underinflation may result in the tyre slipping on, or coming off of the rim causing tyre deflation that may result in a loss of vehicle control.

NOTE:

* German law prohibits use of tyres whose tread depth is less than 1.6 mm.

RIDING

▲WARNING

* Review Motorcycle Safety (pages1 - 6) before you ride.

NOTE:

* Make sure you understand the function of the side stand mechanism. (See MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE on page and explanation for SIDE STAND on page 75)

1. After the engine has been warmed up, the motorcycle is ready for riding.
2. While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch lever and depress the gearshift pedal to shift into 1st (low) gear.

3. Slowly release the clutch lever and at the same time gradually increase engine speed by opening the throttle. Coordination of the throttle and clutch lever will assure a smooth positive start.

4. When the motorcycle attains a moderate speed, close the throttle, pull in the clutch lever and shift to 2nd gear by raising the gearshift pedal.
   This sequence is repeated to progressively shift to 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th (top) gear.

5. Coordinate the throttle and brakes for smooth deceleration.
6. Both front and rear brakes should be used at the same time and should not be applied strongly enough to lock the wheel, or braking effectiveness will be reduced and control of the motorcycle be difficult.

03/10/23 11:11:40 32KPF600_054

▲WARNING

NOTE:

* Do not downshift when traveling at a engine speed is near idle speed. Avoid speed that would force the end of or prolonged periods. overrev in the next lower gear; the rear wheel may lose traction, resulting in a possible loss of vehicle control.

CAUTION:

* Do not shift gears without disengaging the clutch and closing the throttle. The engine and drive train could be damaged by overspeed and shock.
* Do not tow the motorcycle or coast for long distances while the engine is off. The transmission will not be properly lubricated and damage may result.
* Do not ride over a curb or rub the wheel against an obstacle, as wheel damage may result.

03/10/23 11:11:48 32KPF600_055

BRAKING

1. For normal braking, gradually apply both the front and rear brakes while downshifting to suit your road speed.
2. For maximum deceleration, close the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes firmly. Pull in the clutch lever before coming to a complete stop to prevent stalling the engine.

▲WARNING

* Independent use of only the front or rear brake reduces stopping performance. Extreme braking may cause either wheel to lock, reducing control of the motorcycle.
* When possible, reduce speed or brake before entering a turn; closing the throttle or braking in mid-turn may cause wheel slip. Wheel slip will reduce control of the motorcycle.

▲WARNING

* When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces, the ability to maneuver and stop will be reduced. All of your actions should be smooth under these conditions. Rapid acceleration, braking or turning may cause loss of control. For your safety, exercise extreme caution when braking, accelerating or turning.

* When descending a long, steep grade, use engine compression braking by downshifting, with intermittent use of both brakes. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness.
- Riding with your foot resting on the brake pedal or your hands on the brake lever may actuate the brakelight, giving a false indication to other drivers. It may also overheat the brake, reducing effectiveness.

03/10/23 11:11:56 32KPF600_056

PARKING

1. After stopping the motorcycle, shift the transmission into neutral, turn the handlebar fully to the left, turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the key.

(Refer to the maintenance precautions on page 57

The service life of the drive chain is dependent upon proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor maintenance can cause premature wear or damage to the drive chain and sprockets.

The drive chain should be checked and lubricated as part of the Pre-ride Inspection (page 12) Under severe usage, or when the motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty or muddy areas, more frequent maintenance will be necessary.

1. Roll the motorcycle forward. Stop. Check drive chain slack. Repeat this procedure several times. Drive chain slack should remain constant. If the chain is slack only in certain sections, some links are kinked and binding. Binding and kinking can frequently be eliminated by lubrication.

Inspection:

1. Turn the engine off, place the motorcycle on its side stand and shift the transmission into neutral.

2. Check slack in the lower drive chain run midway between the sprockets. Drive chain slack should be adjusted to allow the following vertical movement by hand:

15-25 mm (0.6-1.0 in)

(1) Drive chain

03/10/23 11:14:16 32KPF600_075

1. Roll the motorcycle forward. Stop and place it on its side stand. Inspect the drive chain and sprockets for any of the following conditions:

*Damaged Rollers

*Loose Pins

*Dry or Rusted Links

*Kinked or Binding Links

*Excessive Wear

*Improper Adjustment

*Damaged or Missing O-rings SPROCKETS

*Excessively Worn Teeth

*Broken or Damaged Teeth

A drive chain with damaged rollers, loose pins, or missing O-rings must be replaced. A chain which appears dry, or shows signs of rust, requires supplementary lubrication. Kinked or binding links should be thoroughly lubricated and worked free. If links cannot be freed, the chain must be replaced.

If the drive chain requires adjustment, the procedure is as follows:

1. Place the motorcycle on its side stand with the transmission in neutral and the ignition switch off.
2. Loosen the axle nut (1).
3. Loosen the lock nuts () &n both right and left swingarm.
4. Turn both adjusting nuts () and equal number of turns until the correct drive chain slack is obtained. Turn the adjusting nuts clockwise to tighten the chain, or counterclockwise to provide more slack. Adjust the chain slack at a point midway between the drive sprocket and the rear wheel sprocket. Rotate the rear wheel and recheck slack at other sections of the chain.

Chain slack should be:

15-25 mm (0.6-1.0 in)

03/10/23 11:14:31 32KPF600_077

1. Check rear axle alignment by confirming the chain adjuster index marks () 4 against the rear edge () of the adjusting slots.

Both left and right marks should correspond. If the axle is misaligned, turn the left or right adjusting nut until the marks correspond on the rear edge of the adjusting slots and recheck chain slack.

1. Tighten the axle nut to :

88 N·m (9 kgf·m, 65 lbf·ft)

1. Tighten the adjusting nuts lightly, then tighten the lock nuts by holding the adjusting nuts with a spanner.

2. Recheck drive chain slack. Rear brake pedal free play is affected when repositioning the rear wheel to adjust drive chain slack. Check rear brake pedal free play and adjust as necessary (page 21

▲WARNING

* If a torque wrench is not used for this installation, see your Honda dealer as soon as possible to verify proper assembly.

CAUTION:

- Damage to the bottom part of the frame may be caused by excessive drive chain slack of more than: 50 mm (2.0 in)

03/10/23 11:14:36 32KPF600_078

Wear inspection:

Check the chain wear label when adjusting the chain. If the red zone () 6n the label aligns with the rear edge of the axle washer (7) after the chain has been adjusted to the proper slack, the chain is excessively worn and must be replaced. The proper slack is: 15 25 mm (0.6 1.0 in)

03/10/23 11:14:45 32KPF600_079

Lubrication and cleaning:

Lubricate every 1,000 km (600 miles) or sooner if chain appears dry.

The O-rings in this chain can be damaged by steam cleaning, high pressure washers, and certain solvents. Clean the side surfaces of the chain with a dry cloth. Do not brush the rubber O-rings. Brushing will damage them. Wipe dry and lubricate only with SAE 80 or 90 gear oil. Commercial chain lubricants may contain solvents which could damage the rubber O-rings.

CAUTION:

- The drive chain on this motorcycle is equipped with small O-rings between the link plates. These O-rings retain grease inside the chain to improve its service life. However, special precautions must be taken when adjusting, lubricating, washing, and replacing the chain.
