I stumbled on this via Johnny and Preston Campbell but thought it was a good mod to let you all in on. The 2023 Kawasaki KX250/450 master cylinder kit works on the Honda CRF450R and it makes the clutch action as well as the pull so much better! As you know the stock Honda clutch pull is not the greatest and it has an on/off feeling (narrow window of engagement) but the Kawasaki master provides a smoother pull/longer window of engagement. Simply ordering Kawasaki P/N 43015-0742 will get you what you need, complete with lever. The stock hydraulic clutch cable line can be flipped (put top of line at engine and engine point at top) in order to ensure a better routing look. The way the bend is on the stock Honda line kinks too much on the top so flipping the line helps this. I took this Honda for a quick spin and realized how much better this Kawasaki mod was to the Honda. So, if you’re struggling with the feel of your lever engagement look into this simple sub 200.00 mod for your Honda CRF450R.
