Well i got my bike redone at my local dealer.. Took about 20-30 mins total from start to finish. They explained this is a total rewrite of the ecu programming and sensor parameters. Anyway, bike runs way better off the bottom and throughout the rev range.. ... more »

I am going to assume any later production 2021’s will be sorted out prior to them being sold. So I don’t think you have anything to worry about. And honestly this thing rips even with this “map issue”. I got my suspension being revalved and I’m excited ... more »

Well copy meisters photo and go to your local dealer and hit them up! All I can say. Whoever sold you the bike I hope would honor a remap.

Most new 450’s after suspension tuning most buy a pipe, and do a reflash.. also tons of people buy vortex stuff now. Are gonna be a 12k bill. Buy a couple year old bike to save some $.. most bikes within the last 5 years are more capable than the people ... more »

When did you speak to Honda? This literally came out last week. I’ve seen the official bulletin. Also my local dealer had the update as well and is going to reflash my bike soon.

I only know of one person that had it done and he said it’s a noticeable difference. He even had it done prior by one of the tuners and he said the Honda remap is better than the tuner remap. But I would assume they would rework all three to fix any ... more »

Yep Honda has released a reflash for this. Make sure they do it before you leave the dealer.

I’ve heard of them showing up in Oregon and Washington.. I heard from a reliable source that the ship with the bikes on it hasn’t been unloaded due to a covid breakout of the Dock workers in LA.

I be would say find an east coast guy with the Honda setting tool that knows what they are doing because the WE is even more rare than the regular R.. so it may take a while.. but at least would ride first to see if there’s even an issue. Just my .02 ... more »

Well I didn’t win the yoshimura exhaust for my 21’ crf450 so I think it’s rigged too! 😂

Ahh I got it.. I couldn’t not go at least break it in and then decide. lol. Everyone is so afraid of the mapping and I don’t know why! So much placebo effect!

Bad idea... my R didn’t settle in until I hit about 10 hours I just resprung for my weight at this point but now I know what I want in a revalve after putting time on it.

Had my 21’ crf450 for a month now.

I don’t believe this to be true... California is literally sold out of off-road stuff. I would think they would show up out here first.
