HonTech Module 1
During this first Honda motorcycle course, students can learn the design characteristics of various Honda motorcycle, ATV and SXS engine configurations. They can also learn about motorcycle lubrication systems and how to disassemble, inspect, measure and reassemble a motorcycle top end to Honda’s specifications. Honda transmissions will also be covered and students will be taught the disassembly, inspection, power flow and reassembly procedures of the transmission.
Students also will be taught how to disassemble, inspect and reassemble Honda motor valve trains, chain drives, motorcycle and scooter clutches, power equipment engines and cooling systems. Students will also become familiar with Honda’s electronic parts lookup system in this portion of the Honda bike mechanic course.
HonTech Module 2
In this Honda motorcycle course, students can use workstations in the ATV and SXS module to learn all aspects of ATV and SXS servicing, model identification, principles of operation and safety procedures. Students can also learn how to service and maintain steering systems. The suspension system module will teach the latest servicing procedures, including seal replacement on inverted forks, nitrogen/oil shock servicing, Honda brake system servicing and frame component servicing.
HonTech Module 3
During this class, Honda bike mechanic students can gain an understanding of Honda wiring diagrams and their interpretation and use on motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and power equipment, including generators. Also covered will be the latest troubleshooting procedures on Honda charging, ignition and lighting systems.
Students are also taught how to identify, diagnose and repair Honda charging systems, including half-wave, full-wave and three-phase systems. They can also learn how to identify, diagnose and repair Honda ignition systems, including TPI, digital, and AC and DC CDI.
HonTech Module 4
Honda bike mechanic students can learn how to service and maintain Honda motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, SXS and power equipment engines. They can also learn how to perform the Honda idle drop procedure and all aspects of Honda motorcycle maintenance.
Also covered will be fuel delivery systems, including PGM-FI, mechanical slide and constant-velocity carburetors. This module will also cover emission control systems found on Honda street bikes. Up-to-date service bulletin information will be provided during each module to keep students current with what is happening in the field.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The HonTech courses are a manufacturer-endorsed specialization that builds upon UTI’s core curriculum. While the core program establishes fundamental skills in mechanics, electrical systems and diagnostics, the HonTech modules focus specifically on Honda design standards, systems and service procedures.
After completing UTI’s foundational core (Motorcycle Technician Prerequisite) training, students move on to the HonTech specialization, which lasts 12 weeks and is divided into modular courses. These modules cover engine and transmission systems, ATV/SXS servicing, electrical and ignition systems, and fuel/emissions and maintenance procedures.
Yes. The HonTech curriculum includes instruction on a broad range of Honda models, including motorcycles, ATVs, side-by-sides (SXS), scooters and small power equipment.
Students will learn to service engine and transmission design, top-end disassembly/reassembly, lubrication systems, valve trains, chain drives, clutches, cooling systems and power equipment engines. They’ll also cover suspension, brakes, steering, frame servicing, electrical wiring, charging and ignition systems, lighting, fuel injection (PGM-FI), carburetors, emission control systems, and Honda’s idle drop and maintenance procedures.
Yes. UTI’s HonTech instructors are HonTech-trained and receive regular updates from American Honda to stay current on Honda designs, procedures and service bulletins.
