Features & Benefits of the 2004 CRF450R

A lighter piston provides quicker throttle response. with a recontoured crown that yields higher compression and improved torque over entire rpm range.

ACG cover now made from magnesium for reduced heat build-up and lighter weight.   Lighter ACG improves throttle response and rideability.

Revised ignition timing enhances rideability. Improved carburetor settings for sharper throttle response. Revised gearing optimizes engine's power output.

Aluminum 971 bend Renthal handlebars as standard equipment.

Quick-adjust clutch perch.

* Front fork stanchions' inner surfaces use same honing process as on works bikes for reduced friction. First-time use on a mass-production motocrosser.

Improved damping characteristics for plusher. smoother suspension action.

New non-slip seat cover for increased rider-control.

New front fender and front number plate for slimmer. more aggressive look and lighter weight.

Engine/Drivetrain

Powerful engine churns out 55 bhp at 9000 rpm and 36. 5 lb. /ft. of torque at 7000 rpm. Power is produced across a wide rpm-band for easy-to-control operation.

Auto decompression and hot restart system make starting easy in all conditions.

Liquid-cooled four-valve Unicam?„? 449cc engine produces more than 120 hp per liter while maintaining Honda's legendary dependability and simplicity.

Compact. lightweight engine assembly weighs only 64. 3 pounds.

Unicam valve train provides the light weight of a compact single-cam drive and the optimum combustion chamber shape for maximum power at all engine rpm.

Unicam valve train features a carburized single camshaft that directly actuates two 36mm titanium intake valves. The camshaft exhaust lobe actuates two 31mm steel exhaust valves via a forked. low-friction roller rocker-arm. A separate cam holder contributes to the compact design. which allows a remarkable 21. 5 included valve angle and saves 13. 3 ounces over a comparable DOHC system.

Lightweight titanium intake valves permit use of smaller valve springs. reducing overall engine height and saving 15. 2 grams per valve compared to a steel valve design.

Unique. internal pin-rotation-type auto decompressor produces a lightweight. compact system that provides superb cold-starting and hot-restarting operation.

Crankshaft is made of high-strength. low-carbon steel with carburized main journals for maximum durability at sustained high-rpm operation.

Forged 12. 0:1 compression slipper piston is more than 4. 5 ounces lighter than a conventional design. revving quickly while maintaining excellent cylinder sealing and high-rpm power.

Double-carburized connecting rod utilizes a big-end needle bearing for maximum high-rpm performance and durability.

Nikasil?® cylinder lining is lightweight and provides cooler and quieter operation for extended engine life.

Press-fitted spark plug pipe fits between forked exhaust rocker arms. further contributing to compact cylinder head design.

40mm FCR-type carburetor features four rollers on the flat slide. resulting in very light throttle effort. smooth operation. crisp throttle response and excellent rideability. Bottom of float chamber redesigned to allow more fuel to pass to the main jet.

An 8-bit digital CPU incorporates the capacitive discharge ignition (CDI). producing immediate data calculation and extremely accurate ignition for maximum performance.

Twin-sump lubrication system separates the oil supply for the crankshaft. piston and valve train from the clutch and transmission. This ensures a cool supply of oil to the clutch. eliminates clutch and transmission material contamination to the engine oil. and reduces the amount of circulating oil and the required size of the oil pump.

Vertically split crankcases feature a built-in oil pump. reducing weight 5. 1 ounces compared to a conventional design.

Dual radiators provide significantly more surface area and more effective heat dissipation compared to a single-radiator design.

Gear-driven balancer reduces vibration and drives the water pump. Eight clutch plates provide the surface area necessary to handle the engine's massive torque. while carefully matched clutch springs provide a light feel at the lever.

Chassis/Suspension

Twin-spar aluminum frame is a third-generation design derived from Honda's CR series. Tall swingarm pivot plates and thin frame spars create a narrow overall cross-section for superb rider comfort and maneuverability.

Semi-double-cradle design features a single. large- diameter tapered downtube. Two rugged box-section rails attach to the base of the downtube and support the engine. A forged aluminum steering head provides a compact and extremely durable mount for the frame spars and engine downtube.

The aluminum frame design is matched to rider ergonomics to maximize handling and control operation.

Swingarm features a dual-axis. double-taper design with a large cast aluminum cross-member. End piece has been redesigned for a weight savings of almost 1 ounce.

Front and rear wheels feature HRC works-type lightweight aluminum spoke nipples.

Front wheel features large-diameter front axle and wide wheel-bearing span for excellent rigidity.

Optional 20-inch front wheel improves cornering traction and rider comfort.

Rear axle diameter of 25mm and large-diameter bearings provide significant rigidity to withstand torturous track conditions.

* Lightweight. 47mm inverted Showa?® twin-chamber cartridge fork with aluminum dampers is derived from the CR250R and features settings unique to the CRF. The fork offers 12. 4 inches of travel. 16-position rebound and 16-position compression damping adjustability. Front fork stanchions' inner surfaces use same honing process as on works bikes for reduced friction. First-time use on a mass-production motocrosser.

Pro-Link?® single-shock rear suspension system features a fully adjustable Showa rear damper and 12. 5 inches of wheel travel. separate low-speed (13 positions) and high-speed (3. 5 turns) compression damping adjusters and 17-position rebound damping adjustability.

Rear shock's damper piston diameter is 50mm for consistent performance under demanding riding conditions.

Compact dual-piston front brake caliper has been redesigned for a weight savings of more than 1 ounce. Anodized aluminum brake pistons and lightweight front brake disc minimize unsprung weight for improved turning and handling.

HRC?® works-type rear brake system integrates the rear master cylinder and fluid reservoir. eliminating the rear master cylinder reservoir and hose.

Large. 240mm front and rear brake discs.

Additional Features

Frame design allows sidecovers to have larger air- intake ducts. contributing to significant airflow increase the mid- and upper-rpm ranges.

Rider ergonomics are optimized by adapting the handlebar. seat and footpeg height to place the rider's legs at the narrowest cross-section of the frame. for improved comfort and handling feel.

Seat cushion follows the shape of the fuel tank. providing a smooth transition to increase rider mobility and comfort.

Brake pedal and shift lever are designed to complement the riding position. Brake pedal features optimized ratio to match integrated rear-brake master cylinder design.

New wide. cleated stainless steel footpegs are improved for self-cleaning. corrosion resistance. provide excellent grip and fold for extra ground clearance.

Cleated rear brake pedal and shift lever are made of lightweight aluminum.

Adjustable front brake lever for maximum control.

Chain guide has been redesigned for a weight savings of almost 1 ounce.

Removable rear subframe allows easy maintenance.

Stainless steel clutch cable for long life.

Honda Racing-inspired colors and graphics.
