Just bought a brand new crf450rl 1st bike Ive ever owned with electric start and fuel injection. Wish It had the power of my old 85 cr500. but it goes pretty good for a 4stroke after the pipe and vortec.
Did the vortex fix the on/off throttle? I got same bike and it’s horrible. Been trying to find a vortex in stock somewhere. Everyone is way back ordered
I knew Ken was going to swap that four stroke out! He will never join the dark side. Now I'm thinking about the song from the Eddie and the Cruisers movie.
Disappointed from Australia mate, when you mentioned the 513cc 2 stroke power house you didn’t say ‘RRRRRIIIIP YOUR HOUSE…….’, shit hang on you just said it as I’m typing 😂😂😂, your a classic mate 😀🤣🤣🍻🍻🍻
I really dont understand why honda doesn't produce limited numbers of an updated ( or hell, the same 2001 steel frame model ) version of the 500 !? I believe it would do fairly well
I don't know Mr Kaplan but where I live which is just outside NYC everyone is selling a CRF. Me im into 2 strokes myself but this bike really looks sweet!!!! It seems like to me people buy them and hate them and just resell online 🙃not sure why...
Hi. I just bought ia CRF450R a week ago brand new 2023. Same model as showed in your video. I will proceed this weekend with the assembly in order to start up this nice and powerful machine. I appreciate very much your comments. And let's see how the CRF450R run. Best Regards. God bless America.
I ordered a 2005 500 AF with Eric Gorr Porting built by AJ and loved it but hands down the 21 and up 450r chassis is going to build the narrowest, sleekest looking 500 AF ever hands down.
@@KaplanCycles 😉 Good luck on the 22 build… would be cool if you did it at your shop (and didnt ship it out) would make for a great build series. Maybe Aj can provide the pcs to you? Im sure you guys have someone who can weld there?
Kaplan do you ever sell engines for dirtbikes/quads? I always wonder what happens to a motor such as that new 450 after a swap, that would be a perfect swap motor to sell for a quad or go cart build etc
I'm getting tired of kicking on these two strokes and would love to have that motor with electric start and wants control if you have a compatible frame of any kind that will work
You look naked without that magnum on your side brother! That’s a sweet Honda there! Imagine having all those options on the old Elsinore’s or the DT2 Yamadogs we grew up learning how to wheelie around the block! 💯✌🏼👊🏻
I live this bike but the maintenance schedule is ridiculous. If youre not a mx rider its not worth it. I would love a duel sport around 450cc with a tall tall 6th gear and a long maintenance interval.
Dude, go with the 1986 orange and yellow,(Dave Bailey style), with gold swingarm, or go crazy retro with a 1970s style like the first cr 480. Either way I don’t care what you do, all I care about is August 1st!
😂I was thinking why the hell do you want a 450. Then you said 500 swap, lol, made my day.
Never disappoints me this is the best bike channel on UA-cam hands down so underrated 🙌
Wait a minute wizard doesn't even need his sneakers to start that one he could start it with his magic LOL
lol
With his shirt off and man dukes lmao
Dad just bought one saturday we rode Baja Acres. His last new bike was in 96. The OG screaming eagle 97 cr250. Of course we still have it.
Ken, make sure you shower after riding that 4stroke 😂
Lmao, I feel dirty inside
Ken, you had me worried for a minute ! A four stroke ? :)
Awesome stuff… have my 2022 in the garage ready to find a new 500 power plant
Thats pretty freakin amazing!....love your channel Ken!
2022 Honda 2 stroke so awesome!!!! I wish Honda would still come out with two strokes!
Just bought a brand new crf450rl 1st bike Ive ever owned with electric start and fuel injection. Wish It had the power of my old 85 cr500. but it goes pretty good for a 4stroke after the pipe and vortec.

It's cuz you bought an rl lol
crazy cause a 2019 crf450r stock can keep up w any 500, let alone one w barely any work would smoke any 2 stroke
Love the new CRF450R /RS /RWE!
Love that revving on a 4 stroke
I knew Ken was going to swap that four stroke out! He will never join the dark side. Now I'm thinking about the song from the Eddie and the Cruisers movie.
That will be a ripper,ditching the 4 banger for a 2 banger is the only way to go!
Can't wait to see and hear that beast!

Lol stay tuned brother
you need to get hold of an Aprilia SXV 550 - 70 bhp standard
KTM 690
My dad's got a 690 lc4 my 08 crf 450 has 3 horses more and a lot lighter road bike are more top end
I really dont understand why honda doesn't produce limited numbers of an updated ( or hell, the same 2001 steel frame model ) version of the 500 !? I believe it would do fairly well
Would be sold out so fast I bet lol
Excited about seeing the conversions #CR500AF 👍🤩 💥2 Smoke💥
Be cool to see some lap times before and after the swap
Excellent idea
And of course a Dyno reading to see what she can do. Will it beat a stock CR500 for power?
That was an awesome idea, even though I'm seeing this post a year late. Lol
Ken is the best! A two-wheeled Superhero!
Hi there dig your page I’m a 2 stroke guy glad you guys love 2 stroke to I have 4 strokes but 2 strokes can’t be beat just saying peace to you guys
2 strokes can't be beat lol...that's why every pro rider is riding a 4 stroke!
4 stroke...such a dirty word...can't wait to see those AF bad boys...i'm keen af actually...cheers from Sydney, Australia
Your living the dream Ken!
Your videos get me amped man. Keep killing it. Ill be following along
What's the price of this beauty? Is it me or they don't have a kickstarter?
530 cc 2 stroke 60 horses cant wait to see it done ;]
Does it come with a two stroke mode
Love that he bought a bike just to take it apart again and put a 2 smoker engine in it makes my day
Cuanto sale esta moto en argentina?
This dude is a legend..... Put him in ama
i have the 2020 absolutley love my 450r
Maybe a Zabel 700cc 2stroke engine would be cool for this project. This 80Hp block is used in european motocross sidecars.
Isnt it fuel injectod,it has a choke?
How much does one of these run new?
I’m pumped to see the dyno numbers before and after
Oh yes.
The 450 wnt be much lower in hp then the fully built 500 motor
I don't know Mr Kaplan but where I live which is just outside NYC everyone is selling a CRF. Me im into 2 strokes myself but this bike really looks sweet!!!! It seems like to me people buy them and hate them and just resell online 🙃not sure why...
cant wait to see it ken
Holy crap this is gonna be awesome ken!cant wait to see it!
Nice. I always been a Honda fan. Used to ride a 91 cr125r now i ride a super clean 01 kx250 love it just as well 😊
Just bought a 2012 harley 883 with 237mi. 1900 bucks
I just did a top end on a ‘01 kx250 for a buddy...man I’m very impressed with the power delivery, making me 2nd guess avoiding Kawi’s my whole life 😂
@@roosterc1546 Bro you stole it for that price...excellent deal
@@BullfrogRoofs i had to replace the tank and fuel pump because the guy let it sit with gas in it but so far i have less than 2.5k in. Im happy
Sorry 2,700.00 all together

Would love to see what it does actually make that 4t
Best thing for it going 2t power though 😉🤭😁
Very nice my friend,long live the 2 stroke!

Have fun
is it a 5 valve?
cant wait for the video for this 500cc swap!
so what do you do with the engine you pull out of the bike
Sell it on ebay
Will we see a drag race between the CR500 and 450 after you're done with it on the dyno or is the grass still recovering?
Yes
Thanks for the wheelie 💯
Hows the power on that 2022 compared to a bone stock cr500 ,low end ,mid,top
Stay tuned
Hell yeah nice new project can't wait to see the before and after videos🤘
Ahhhhh I just missed you wish I knew you were up here!!!
how much for the motor?
I ordered a 2005 500 AF with Eric Gorr Porting built by AJ and loved it but hands down the 21 and up 450r chassis is going to build the narrowest, sleekest looking 500 AF ever hands down.
How much for the engine? The four stroke.
How much is that bike???
Kaplan vs BVC offroad?? Cr500af shootout😕
Anytime anywhere Bring it BVC!
@@KaplanCycles 💪 You Know The Deal Kaplan✌👍
@@KaplanCycles 😉
Good luck on the 22 build… would be cool if you did it at your shop (and didnt ship it out) would make for a great build series. Maybe Aj can provide the pcs to you? Im sure you guys have someone who can weld there?
How much out the door after the conversion????_________.___
21000 to start
This is going to be one bad ass CR 539
Thing sounds beast. Surprised for being stock
You should add electric start to the 500 motor
Kaplan do you ever sell engines for dirtbikes/quads? I always wonder what happens to a motor such as that new 450 after a swap, that would be a perfect swap motor to sell for a quad or go cart build etc
Sweet bike and sweet builds cant wait to see them
uncle, can a height of 170 cm ride a CRF 450r???
Yes
Sr that greasy new tire stepped out on you a bit when you rolled out
Someone noticed! Sketchy
Sr loves it just won't admit it. 😉
I'm getting tired of kicking on these two strokes and would love to have that motor with electric start and wants control if you have a compatible frame of any kind that will work
@brodie johns great thanks for sharing I'll check into it when needed
You look naked without that magnum on your side brother! That’s a sweet Honda there! Imagine having all those options on the old Elsinore’s or the DT2 Yamadogs we grew up learning how to wheelie around the block! 💯✌🏼👊🏻

I like motorcross semoga bisa jadi hadiah buat saya dan dikirim ke indonesia,
Karangjati,ngawi
Sick project!
How about a road registered CR500 too
Holy shit thats gonna be a monster.
This guy is the Hulk Hogan of holeshots.
Honda is having a hard time figuring out that people want 2 strokes . So this guy is going to show Honda how it's done and what they should be doing.
What you doing doing with the crf450r motor? Can I have it? Lol
Kap my man you've got me so interested in getting a bike. Haven't had one in decades. Maybe a kx 250 !!!!!!!!!
That's why we do this brother let me know when you get your bike it will make my day
Yes Kawasaki for you
Need to fix clutch cable
That's an awesome bike, but will be a heck of a lot more awesome once it's a CR500!!👍😎😎🇱🇷
Is the Talk Control mode to stop people bragging??!!
Can’t wait to see the finished build, gonna be a beast no doubt !
I live this bike but the maintenance schedule is ridiculous. If youre not a mx rider its not worth it. I would love a duel sport around 450cc with a tall tall 6th gear and a long maintenance interval.
Might want to check valve clearances now 😆
WOW 🇺🇸 wholly tricked out BATMAN 😃 that’s going to be EPIC 👍
Am I the only one that hates the computerized rider aids?
You and 3 others
Dude, go with the 1986 orange and yellow,(Dave Bailey style), with gold swingarm, or go crazy retro with a 1970s style like the first cr 480. Either way I don’t care what you do, all I care about is August 1st!
Sick bike 💯❤️👊🙏
I would be disappointed but I got one of them they not bad for a 4 stroke 😁🤣
Oh good. The 4shitty is getting a real motor. 😂
