Since its first appearance in late 2001, the CRF450R has done plenty of winning in professional Supercross and Motocross competition. Weekend warriors also consider the CRF450R a big-time winner, whether it’s racing at the local level or simply enjoying an afternoon’s track outing aboard this remarkable 450. All of which points to a machine that’s as versatile as it is victorious. Just as impressive, beginning with its debut the CRF450R has been repeatedly judged as best-in-class by the guys who test them all. Every year the CRF450R collects rave reviews, 10-best honors and front-of-the-pack titles from enthusiast publications. 450-class-leading power along with CRF250R-like handling With such an enviable level of success plus the nonstop refinement that has followed the CRF450R since its beginnings, it would be natural to assume that quantum leaps in improvement with new versions might be impossible, right? Well, it takes only one look at the 2009 CRF450R to flush that theory down the drain. Now in the all-new and lighter CRF450R, witness an unprecedented level of design synergy as a brand-new engine, developed concurrently with an entirely new rolling chassis, deliver 450-class-leading power along with CRF250R-like handling. Toss the strategic addition of EFI into the mix—in a configuration that brings benefits related not only to fuel metering but also to the size and placement of vital chassis components—and it all adds up to an unprecedented combination of power, suspension and handling that together bring a genuine revolution to the premier motocross class. Here’s a broad overview of what’s new in the CRF450R for 2009: • All-new lighter, more compact engine • Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) • All-new lighter, HPSD-equipped twin-spar aluminum frame featuring a longer swingarm and a lower Cg for improved handling and better front-wheel turning characteristics • Kayaba front and rear suspension, featuring upper and lower fork tubes and a shock body developed exclusively for the CRF450R chassis • New high-volume airbox for enhanced breathing and increased power also improves filter access • Innovative exhaust system to enhance mass centralization • All-new bodywork that improves ergonomics • All-new lighter brake rotors CRF450R 2009 Honda 4 The addition of fuel injection Naturally, the big buzz about the 2009 CRF450R tends to focus on its all-new battery-less Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system. And garner attention it should, although EFI is only one part of the greater overall whole in a completely redesigned CRF450R. Specifically, this EFI system utilizes a 50mm throttle body design with a 12-hole injection nozzle fed by a lightweight plastic 50-psi pump to ensure optimum fuel atomization and a precisely targeted fuel charge. Bringing the full benefits of EFI to bear proved to be an arduous task. Since its introduction, the CRF450R has enjoyed a well-deserved reputation as being the easieststarting bike in its class, as well as having the best throttle response. So even though it was no small task to improve on the best carburetion system around, thanks to countless hours of testing and perfecting this system the new CRF450R meters fuel even more precisely now. Credit also the intrinsic precision provided by the minute tolerances inherent in a fuel injection design, which allowed Honda engineers to take tuning to a higher level. So the 2009 CRF450R now delivers amazing drive right off the bottom, super-strong midrange punch and a stronger rush of top-end power. Next, factor in another remarkable benefit that comes as a direct result of this more accurate and efficient fuel metering: this EFI system also achieves a significant improvement in fuel consumption. Therefore, the fuel load can be smaller and lighter yet the CRF450R can still CRF450R 2009 Honda 2009 ACG 6 2008 handle the longest motos. In addition, the fuel tank itself can now be shorter, smaller and slimmer and that means the seat could be made flatter all the way up to the gas cap to allow the rider a greater range of unimpeded movement on the bike. Reaping handling and rider ergonomic benefits from a fuel injection system? This is typical of the synergistic forward-thinking that created the new CRF450R design. The PGM-FI system monitors throttle position, intake air and coolant temperatures, air pressure and gear position to accurately map fuel charge and ignition spark, significantly improving partial-throttle response and helping assure excellent rideability. An enlarged AC overall Cg and more optimum weight distribution for better handling. This lower Cg also generator delivers the needed power to the PGM-FI system without means the engine’s rotating mass rides lower in the chassis, producing less gyroscopic effect a battery, and two crankshaft position sensors (instead of the solo for more neutral handling. sensor used previously) determine crank position more quickly to provide speedy starts, whether the engine is hot or cold. The engine This reduction in engine height was achieved in part via a shorter cylinder head that now stop switch also features an integrated LED pre-ride check indicator. positions the camshaft directly in the cylinder head; previous 450s featured a bolt-on cam This confirms the EFI system is operating normally. In addition, mount. More engine height was shaved off by shortening the connecting rod 3.5mm Honda also has available an HRC PGM-FI Setting Tool, which allows (102.1mm from 105.6mm), which allowed a correspondingly shorter cylinder. In addition, CRF450R owners to alter EFI fuel delivery as well as ignition timing the crankshaft main journal cradles were relocated to the inside of the flywheels to allow a over a wide range of settings to alter engine power characteristics. reduction in connecting-rod pin diameter from 34mm to 33mm, which further reduced weight while maintaining overall strength.

This liquid-cooled four-valve Unicam® 449cc engine now utilizes a four-lobe camshaft and individual Other changes to the CRF450R powerplant include a reshaped combustion chamber that’s rocker arms for each exhaust valve to reduce weight and contribute a touch shallower to further reduce cylinder head height but features a larger-volume to its higher rpm ceiling. The net advantage is not only more power, squish area for efficient flame propagation. The lightweight titanium intake valves now but also a broader powerband for better drive out of corners. have shorter stems, and redesigned valve springs also help reduce overall engine height and permit higher rpm. Slimmer intake valve stems shrink in diameter from 5.5mm to Thanks to its complete redesign, the CRF450R’s smaller, lighter engine 5.0mm to reduce reciprocating weight, and the cam sprocket is now press-fitted to the contributes significantly to improvements in the chassis, ultimately camshaft, reducing weight by 20 grams compared to the previous bolted-on design.

A low-friction surface treatment on the piston assures high-rev potential. CRF450R 2009 Honda 2009 8 2008 a gear-position sensor, which now also works in conjunction with the EFI system. This sensor signals a new, sophisticated electronic control module (ECM), which uses a multi-map system to alter ignition plus EFI mapping for optimum power in varying riding situations. Specific maps control the EFI and ignition settings so power application in first and second gears provide maximum acceleration with minimum wheelspin, and third through fifth gears utilize maximum-power mapping. Eight clutch plates handle the engine’s massive torque, and the new CRF450R incorporates only four clutch springs rather than the previous six springs to reduce centrifugal weight, thereby allowing the engine to rev quicker. Kashima coating is applied to the clutch basket and clutch center to improve clutch life and clutch feel. In keeping with previous practice, a twin-sump lubrication system separates the oil supply for the crankshaft, piston and valve train from the clutch and transmission. This Lightweight Ni-SiC cylinder lining provides cooler and quieter ensures a cool supply of oil to the clutch, eliminates clutch and transmission material operation for extended engine life, and for easier servicing the contamination of the engine oil and reduces the amount of circulating oil, which allows the cylinder attaches to the engines cases with through-bolts instead oil pump size to be reduced. A gear-driven balancer serves double duty, reducing vibration of studs, allowing in-frame cylinder removal. while also driving the water pump. A new mechanical water pump seal improves durability, and coolant flow is now rerouted outside the engine cases via a bolt-on flange/jacket, The CRF450R incorporates the use of a new, lighter automatic allowing reduction of crankcase and cylinder width as well as overall engine weight. Also, decompression system, so the hot restart procedure is simplified. an oil pump strainer is now built into the engine case to reduce the number of parts and This cam-integrated plunger and shaft-integrated decompression shave additional grams. weight allow for easy starting in both hot and cold conditions.

CRF450R 2009 Honda 10 An all-new HPSD-equipped aluminum frame attached to the lower triple clamp, is still employed. Thanks to the steadying influence of Honda’s twin-spar aluminum frame with forged aluminum steering HPSD, more aggressive steering geometry could be engineered into the CRF450R, which is head has long proven its worth, and because the new, smaller and reflected by the 20mm of offset in the 2009 triple clamps, for improved cornering agility lighter engine allowed a full redesign of the frame, the 2009 CRF450R without giving up anything in high-speed handling. In addition, this year’s damper has now enjoys the benefits of an all-new iteration that is 14 ounces been revalved to better match the steering traits of the 2009 setup, and it also yields a lighter than the previous version and also significantly narrower. The more linear damping effect. In keeping with last year’s debut, perhaps the most impressive height of the main frame spars was reduced from 70mm to 66mm attribute of HPSD is that it works so seamlessly with the chassis as a whole to build rider and they were also narrowed, 26mm compared to 27mm. Stronger confidence; you don’t even notice it’s there. downtubes improve front-end feel, and steering response and overall handling have been improved by moving the steering head pipe back New, plusher suspension 10mm and giving the frame a slightly steeper caster angle. As a result, During the process of building the all-new frame into a complete rolling chassis, all options the front wheel is now positioned 15mm farther back than before, for attendant suspension components were considered. After much testing, the new 2009 significantly closer to the crankshaft, which further enhances CRF450R was given a new, sophisticated Honda-specific Kayaba inverted Air-Oil-Separated handling. These changes to steering geometry result in steering (AOS) fork with 48mm-diameter fork legs (up from 47mm last year) that features fully action that is lighter, yet at the same time the new engine positioning adjustable compression and rebound damping and spring settings developed specifically means there’s more weight on the front wheel for more traction, so for the CRF450R. And Honda’s proven Pro-Link® Rear Suspension also now incorporates the CRF450R turns better, especially under hard acceleration. a fully adjustable Kayaba shock made specifically for the CRF450R that features an integrated reservoir plus all-new damping and spring settings. The large 50mm-diameter In back, the swingarm is 18mm longer than last year’s for improved rear shock piston contributes to consistent performance under the most demanding riding traction and the swingarm cross-member wall thickness was conditions. As a result, both ends feel calmer while riding, demonstrating exceptional reduced from 3.75mm to 3.0mm to save weight. Overall changes to bump compliance and suspension plushness.
