Honda CRF450R Hydraulic Clutch Improvement?

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…

ARC RC-8 Clutch Assembly With Aluminum Black Smooth Lever

I will admit that I am usually a stock perch/lever or a Works Connection Elite Perch/Lever kind of rider and although I have tried many different perch/lever set ups those are the two that I normally gravitate towards or back to. I have tested a lot of combos and have come to the conclusion that…

Rekluse Torque Drive Clutch Pack

Hinson Nine Plate And Rekluse Torque Drive Clutch Comparison

I originally wanted to do a Hinson versus Rekluse clutch test for the 2019 Honda CRF450R, but after going back and forth for a few weeks (testing these parts), I decided that both of these mods are such an improvement over the stock clutch system, that there shouldn't be a “winner”. Each clutch has a…
