Using these hose clips is easy. First, identify the hoses on your 2012 - 2020 Honda CRF 250 L or 2013 - 2018 Honda CRF 250 M that need securing. Then, place the clip around the hose where it should be attached and tighten it properly. Make sure it's snug but don't over - tighten as it might damage the hose. When it comes to maintenance, since these clips are made of 18/8 marine - grade stainless steel, they're quite resistant to corrosion. However, it's still a good idea to check them regularly for any signs of wear or loosening, especially if you ride in harsh or corrosive environments. If you notice any issues, you can rely on the 12 - month warranty for replacement. Remember, these clips are designed to fit AS3 Performance and OEM hoses, so use them only with compatible hoses for the best results.
