Using these hose clips is easy. Just place them around the radiator coolant hoses of your 2000 - 2010 Honda XR 650 R and secure them tightly. Make sure they're evenly placed for a proper fit. When it comes to maintenance, you don't have to do much. Since they're made of marine - grade stainless steel, they can handle various conditions. But it's a good idea to check them regularly for any signs of wear or looseness. If you notice anything wrong, you can use the 12 - month warranty to get a replacement. Remember, these clips are designed for AS3 Performance and OEM hoses, so use them only with compatible hoses. And don't be tempted by cheaper non - stainless clips as they may not offer the same quality and durability.
