HOT RODS crankshaft bearing and seal kit for HONDA CRF 450 X from 2005 to 2018

HOT RODS offers this crankshaft bearing and seal kit for HONDA CRF 450 X from 2005 to 2018. The crankshaft spins on two large bearings in the cases, protected by oil seals. They take all the engine’s force; after many hours they develop play and vibration appears.

What is this bearing made of?

Races and balls (or rollers) in hardened chrome steel, 100Cr6 type: a very hard steel that withstands the fatigue of millions of engine revolutions.

• Open bearing: unsealed, it is lubricated and cooled by the engine oil; clean oil is its best protection.
• C3 / C4 internal clearance: slightly more clearance than normal for a hot engine’s expansion; always refit the original clearance.
• Limit: it dislikes dust and old oil; running short of oil destroys it within minutes.

Why choose HOT RODS?

Hot Rods, the bottom-end specialist since 1993: crankshafts, rods, bearings and seals for a complete rebuild.

When should you replace the bearings on your HONDA CRF 450 X?

Unusual vibration, a deep knock that follows engine speed or play in the con-rod: the bottom end needs a rebuild.

The manufacturer publishes no hour interval for this model: have the con-rod play checked at every piston change. Cross-Mania guideline: rebuild the bottom end every 2 to 3 top-end rebuilds.
