I have two 450X bikes, an '08 that l made into a SuperMoto and a '21 that l have dual sported. I have pretty much all the same modifications on both bikes with the exception of the engine upgrades. On my '08 SuperMoto I had a high compression piston as well as the Hot Cams Stage 2 camshaft from a 450R. You nailed it when you said what a powerhouse those mods did to performance. My carburated first generation 450X will blow away my fuel injected 450X. You guys did a great job and put out some useful information. Thanks.
Sold my 450x and got a 250x. What a great choice for me. I went from a built out XR650r and the 450 was harder to ride as it had more power with 100 lbs less weight. I wasn’t expecting to hate my dream bike but now I’m good to go
You're making me nervous about switching from a 2001 XR400R over to a 2005 CRF450X. I'm 5'8" 170 pounds (barely) and I was hoping the 450X would be a better fit, for the 400 is a slow heavy pig. Probably the most reliable machine Ive ever owned, but a total pig. I ride the trails in New England, so I am constantly banging through the gearbox in both hot and cold weather, both day and night. I sat on a 250X but it felt like I would destroy it in only a few rides. The other choice is a Husqvarna TE300 Pro. Hope I make the right choice. 🏁
@@the_gold_canopy well if you’re worried about not having enough power get the biggest bike you can then you’ll never pack power but if you ain’t destroyed that xr400 yet you ain’t going to do much of nothing to a 250x besides rip like you do that xr
Cool. I recently did my 2005 450r. Some similar mods. I went with a black oversized Clark tank, oversized radiators, tusk fan kit, larger water pump impeller kit, rocket exhaust, applied triples, works connection rad guards and frame guards (replacing this with plastic acerbis to let frame flex), pro taper bars, Scott’s, similar wheels and brakes and rear sprocket but it’s all red and black with black spokes and red nipples, twin air filter and cage, rekluse clutch, boyesen cover, LED lights, flag style acerbis hand guards (trying to keep it light), ASV levers, a bunch of works connection red ano bling kit stuff, new grippy seat, graphics, Yost design template to cut side plates to 2019 style, 2019 crf450r front fender, new red ano pegs, probably a few things I am forgetting. I’d say it now looks about as good as the newer works bikes, if not better because it was done the way I like it.
I have a 2022 crf450rx, and the front brakes bite so hard I put some air in it. Of all the things to upgrade, im surprised the front brakes were one of them. Honda is notorious for the best biting brakes.
The giant 300+mm dual rotors on my Fireblade are the same way! The stop the bike 2x faster than it can accelerate. In a panic grab, I imagine it could yeet you to the moon. That 450rx is dream bike material
If that is true we feel something is wrong- if your 450X is set up well it should be way too fast-- HAHA- email Jay for more in depth-- www.dirtbiketv1.com to send --
@@bikersoncall love this bike, all the part support in the world but it’s a Honda so you don’t really need much maintenance. Can pull itself up any hill no problem
I thought the rear tire size would be mentioned right off, was it changed to an 18'' or still 19'' rim? What year is the bike? Edit; found the _year_ in comments; *2005* , I think this series/gen was 2005 - 2008 , not positive.. shrugs..
Will you make video in the near future about new Honda CRF450X Fi? How to make it run like a 450. What we can get rid off, what wire to cut :D etc. Take care.
When you add it all up its crazy how much goes into one of your builds.
I am the current owner of that motorcycle, I love your channel! greetings from baja california 🤟🏻

How does the R handle off-road?
What are you power the fan with? Stator upgrade and battery?
Thanks

Great video. Finally switched from a XR400R over to the CRF450X. Factory top speed is extremely disappointing, so im gonna work on that.

Cool, rideon, and safe!

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO BEND THE TANK TO MAKE ROOM FOR RADIATOR HOSES...PLEASE😀
What year is this bike.
I have a 2007 450X
love it! do a dyno test on this
Jay, I’ve scoured UA-cam and cannot find the video you mentioned on how to bend the IMS tank to make room for the fan. Please help?
Just bought an 07, can’t wait to take it out!
I got an 07, sweet bike. Had it for 4 or 5 years. No problems
How did you like it?
@@bikersoncall love this bike, all the part support in the world but it’s a Honda so you don’t really need much maintenance. Can pull itself up any hill no problem
anyone other youtuber would make this into a 5 part video series
My header on my 450x gets red hot 30 seconds into idling. Could low coolant levels contribute to the header heating uo fast ?
No first of all don’t let them idle that long. Email for more details
counted the linkage bearings getting greased twice! haha in the beginning and the end!
Shows the importance of it!
The last one was # 101.
This is very nice however it’s had the parts book thrown at it and I dread to think how much coin has been blown in it.
I thought the rear tire size would be mentioned right off,
was it changed to an 18'' or still 19'' rim? What year is the bike?
Edit; found the _year_ in comments; *2005* , I think this series/gen
was 2005 - 2008 , not positive.. shrugs..

Is there a way to do that and shave a bunch of weight?
So cool. I miss my bike.
What year is the bike?
2005
Great Video, thank you. Love my 450X
Plz make a video on how to delete the clutch safety switch! Thanks awesome video
There is one way back in my videos
Awesome reliable bike
How much hp this getting on dyno

What do you mean bend the tank? Did you make a video? What’s the purpose?
I think it's so the aftermarket fan would fit;
Empty, clean tank, heat gun, bend in slightly,
hold, let cool , done...
I LOVE U, JAY!!!
What chain guide
👍That pointer!🤣👍🇺🇸
My dream bike
Not bad, I’ve done way more to my L. 😂
