Hey y'all from Louisiana, got an 05 450 day fore yesterday thats weized at the big end pin. Its ugly!!! LOL I'll post some pictures with Tapatalk when i get back home on wifi.

Right now she's needing plastics, a crank rebuild, piston (has a scored up Namura in it now but the cylinder is true at a 94mm bore) and a general ground up rebuild. ah well, she'll get done. I've started with worse LOL

its seized? if its a 94mm you have more problems. Cause it should be 96mm for a stock bore.

I may be stupid/blind... i could have sworn my calipers said 94mm i know the piston says 93.07 on it. i'll go stick them in it and take a picture of them.

we bought it ($550) with the top end torn down and the rod seized on the big end pin. about as cheap as a complete 450 comes in my area. there are half trashed rollers selling for 500.... (stupid stupid peple thinking their bikes are worth $$$$$$$ now that i say this kfxguy is gunna pop in and tell me that im an idiot and that he sees them cheap as **** all the time LOL)

Take your pic.. But 06 an up are 96mm sb.. 04-05 are 94mm..

Chuckie25 · 02-17-2013, 05:51 PM

Ah ok! Well, from the vin it's an 06 do it may be an earlier motor in it. It's a kick-only motor
This is our first 450. Newest bike in the fleet LOL
We have mostly older 70's-80's bikes

want2bfast · 02-17-2013, 05:53 PM

Not normally.. take a pic of the cam chain tensioner..

Chuckie25 · 02-17-2013, 05:58 PM

By cam chain tensioner I'm assuming you mean this

want2bfast · 02-17-2013, 06:00 PM

that is an 04 -05 tensioner.

ridinlow · 02-17-2013, 06:03 PM

that is an 04, 05 cam tensioner, so you're motor is an 04/05 motor, hence the seized crank, lol it's notorious on those years. Also, your caliper and cylinder measurements are correct. 94mm.

it gets confusing because a 96mm on an 04/05 is actually considered a big bore 470. the 96mm on the 06+ is a 450cc. different strokes.

Chuckie25 · 02-17-2013, 06:04 PM

Oh wow, thanks for the info!!! Since the bore is good we are just gunna order a new piston for it. Would have SUCKED to have gotten the wrong one.

Chuckie25 · 02-17-2013, 06:27 PM

Thank y'all tons for the info!!! Joining up has already had its benefits lol

Time for pics

It came with a twist throttle (score!! Now I don't have to rob my stash LOL)

Like I said, pulled the bottom end out of it today. Fastest. Pull. Ever!

(gunna have to get a parking brake delete)

Someone took their time spray bombing the crap out of this thing. That green is THICK but is flaking off like crazy. It proabably looked good a riding season or 3 ago.

K&N without an outer-wear: how is the cylinder not TRASHED?! Lol

Rims aren't too terribly bad. Prolly gunna give them a good scotch-briting.

Definitely needs plastics! Lol

Well, that's it. First 450 project.

What is the usual list of mods?

Stage 2 cam, full exhaust system (if it doesn't have one already) ??? whats next?

We want a good reliable play bike. Will be riding the river (sand, lots! Lol) and the trails at our camp (hills, pine needles, etc).

Thanks again for the help y'all!

want2bfast · 02-17-2013, 06:39 PM

LOL! Yea I noticed that yesterday

What's a better CDI to go to?

want2bfast · 02-17-2013, 06:51 PM

dyna or stock..

Chuckie25 · 02-17-2013, 07:24 PM

Ok thank you again.

With the stock CDI I seen a video called the 'green wire mod' but the guy didn't sound all there.......is this a smart thing to do or no? He said that you get a grand or so more rev's but that IMO seems a good way to screw a stock crank (other than it being for to 'dumb down' the engine in sure Honda's stock crank can only handle so much). Any thought there?
