Maintenance
Preventative maintenance will provide for many years of trouble-free use.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the machine weekly by wiping with a rag and/or blowing with compressed air;
this will help maintain the longevity of the mechanical components in addition to the system’s finish. It
is important to keep the engine clean so it will cool appropriately.
Engine Oil Changes
Reference HONDA’s engine manual for
recommended oil & suggested oil change
intervals.
Checking the oil level:
Oil level should be checked before each use.
Engine oil should be changed out after the
first 20 hours and then every 100 hours (or
6 months) after that.
Air Filter Cleaning & Replacement
Reference HONDA’s engine manual for recommended air filter cleaning and replacement schedule.
The areas below, as shown in the photos, should be cleaned on a weekly basis. Failure to do so can
cause overheating of the engine, as well as other preventable damage.
Air Filter
The HONDA GX V-Twin is equipped with an air filter. Clean every 100
hours and replaced every 300 hours.
Dust particles – remove weekly
HONDA engines are made to work in demanding conditions. This said,
the operator should limit the amount of fibrous particles from the
HONDA engine area. Cellulose, fiberglass, or stonewool entering the
engine cooling fan will gather over time and limit the engine’s effectiveness in cooling itself.
Compressed air is an effective method of removing dust and debris from the motor. Pay particular
attention to remove all dust and debris in the engine cooling fins on both sides of the motor. Fibrous
particles will build up in these fins, limiting the engines effectiveness at cooling itself. Ensure no fiber
build-up for each of the following engines sections.
