STEAHLY 7oz FLYWHEEL ON THE LONG TERM 20' CRF450L

the first ride out on the bike with the flywheel weight installed and the improvement to the power and smoothness was immediate and noticeable. this is absolutely a bike that will benefit from more flywheel mass regardless of how you ride it.

another essential mod has been re-torquing the engine hanger bolts, fork triple clamp bolts and swing arm bolts. thanks to Kris Keefer and his development work we benefited from adjust torque specs listed bellow.

the last essential mod covered here is the scotts / brp steering stabilizer. if there was ever a bike that benefited from a stabilizer it's this one. remember how the 08 CRF450R came with a Showa damper behind the number plate to chill out the twitchy front end, that's as needed as ever on the new bikes but they don't come with one so we added it ourselves and it's a game changer.

with these 3 latest mods we've finally come up with a bike that we want to ride as fast as we do our KTM's and is now a bike we like to ride.

all of these would equally apply to the 19+ L, RL and X models

stay tuned for more improvements and updates on the way.
