Hamm_racing136 Started a new thread What bike is Tomac racing at WSX
8/27/2025 11:47am Wasn’t sure if this was mentioned in another thread but any idea what bike is Tomac racing at WSX? With him doing rounds 3 and 4 at the end of November I assume if he’s going KTM he would want to be on the bike testing but with KTM usually not supporting the WSX will he still be on the...

12/11/2023 6:15pm Hey man after a ton of testing out different stuff I was finally able to narrow it down to the throttle body. I had my other bike which made it much easier just took 5-6 rides to actually figure it out. I initially swapped the tanks. Then I tried stators, and then coil, then écu. Finally I decided to swap...
Hamm_racing136 Added a reply to 2023 crf450 air filters
12/4/2023 5:37pm I've been using the funnel web filters for a few years, they've been really great especially for myself doing 30 min moto's on a dusty or sand track they last longer from the added surface area. Bit more of a pain to oil up and clean versus say a twin air but for the longevity they are great. I usually...

10/30/2023 1:32pm Hey Carey, Sorry to hear about all the issues you guys were having with your 450. The only reason I was able to get Honda to cover my stator melting was because it happened within the first 2 hours of me having the bike and upon disassembly I found that 2 head bolts hadn’t been torqued causing my issue. Luckily...
Hamm_racing136 Added a reply to 21’& 22’ CRF450 and 22’ CRF250 Backfire mesh.
4/28/2023 5:46pm I’ve removed the backfire screen in my 450 and had issues with the filter collapsing during my hard sand motos. So what I did do was put the cage but in but I removed the mesh from the cage. It’s only glued on so I peeled it off and screwed it back in. Haven’t had any issues and I’ve put...

4/11/2023 12:01am Hey guys recently been having some issues with my bike, doing a moto the bike will run great and it seems to vary but 10-20 min into a moto the bike will bog under hard load, sometimes 1-2 times in a lap or two and then might not happen again until my next moto. Started off as a small big...

Hamm_racing136 Added a reply to 21-23 crf450 backfire screen
4/4/2023 4:15am I've removed it on my 21, 22 and 23 crf450, definitely helped a lot with air flow. One issue though is if the filter gets dirty it can get sucked right into the air boot because there is nothing stopping it. What I've done now is remove the mesh off the screen and then reinstalled it to prevent the air...

3/13/2023 7:26am Hey man I can confirm you can use a 2017-2023 piston pin in a CRF450. They must of changed suppliers or something over the years but I've been using 2017 parts in hondas the last 3 years and they are the same.

10/14/2020 6:51pm After starting to dig into the engine the dealership told me to bring it back to them for a possible warranty claim. They ended up finding out the stator melted as well. If the engine got hot enough to do that who knows how deep the heat went and issues it could cause later so they went to Honda for...

10/14/2020 6:03pm I had a similar problem with my 19 getting coolant into the engine oil. Ended up being the head gasket. I also bought a brand new 20 CRF450R and it blew up at 1.8hrs, was trying to figure out how I lost coolant in 15 min because it was full when my moto started and after ripping apart the engine...

6/12/2020 8:57pm It’s an adapter that goes onto your caliber. You’ll have to remove your caliper off your forks, remove the brake pads and slide out the oem one. Swap over the pins and seals to the new one slide it back in and put your pads in and bolt it back onto the fork lug.
Hamm_racing136 Started a new thread Coolant in the engine oil 2019 CRF450R
6/12/2020 8:15pm Hey guys, in 20 years and 20+ bikes I’ve never had this happen so I’m a little lost. While doing some long motos I checked my coolant and it was way down, much more than typical after a long moto. Changed the oil that night and it was grey and milky, so I know I found out where the coolant...

6/12/2020 8:15pm Thanks for the replies, I actually checked seal 21 and it was still in good shape. Figured next spot to check was the spark plug. Was dripping with coolant. So looking like it’s head gasket, already got one on order and figured I’ll do all the water pump stuff as well since I ripped it apart. Thanks for the help...

6/12/2020 8:06am I ordered bearing and shaft as well, figured if it’s apart make sure it’s all fresh there.

6/12/2020 6:51am Ordered some new water pump seals will try them out first when they show up. If that doesn’t solve the problem will start ripping into the engine more.

4/25/2018 6:42pm I had a ton of issues with my 2017 CRF450 clutch last year, steels burning up pretty quick and had a bunch of fibre plates breaking. I was running 1000ml of oil as per the manual and motul 10w40 semi synthetic. I changed up to about 1250ml of oil this year and haven't had any issues yet might even try...
Hamm_racing136 Added a reply to 2013 crf wheels on a 17/18?
4/11/2018 5:46pm Wheels should be identical, I bought a set of 2012 wheels for my 17 crf450 the front was good but the rear I needed a 1/8" spacer in between the hub and sprocket as the 12 was narrower and binded the chain up , pretty sure in 2013 they changed that and made it the hub the 1/8" thicker at...
