Been reading some good things and some bad things on this kit.

I bought the 4 year extended warranty, got it for only $400.

So I dunno if that will void my warranty or not.

What performance mods CAN I do that wont void the warranty?

 

If you purchase the HRC kit from and have it installed by your Honda dealer it will not void your warranty. At least that's what the dealer that I bought my 07 450ER from said when I asked about the HRC kit.

 

The original word was that if you ran the HRC kit, you would need a rebuild every 15 hours. All the 450 owners I know (quads and bikes) are running the kit and mostly have over 200 hours on their machines! Pretty good for engines that were supposed to be ticking bomds!

The kit will net you gains mostly in the mid and high end.

 

every 15 hours??? thats insane. I can't believe anyone would even consider gettin that kit unless your a professional rider, or have a money tree growing somewhere

 

Hey whats the difference between a 450R and a 450ER?

 

The kit will not void the warrenty when installed by the dealer and has been a great kit to add to the Honda 450r...The difference between the Honda 450r and 450er is that the R is kick start and the ER is electric.

 

Well mines an electric start and still says R on everything?

also I paid $7,300 out the door that was helmet a 4 year extended warranty and taxes and fees. Did I get a ok deal?

 

Yea all of the bikes are still Honda 450r's, but when it says the model number like TRX 450 yours would say this for an electric TRX 450ER instead of the kick which is TRX 450R...Thats all...Yea you did alright I am assuming that it is an 08...I am not sure what I got my special edition one for I forget what the final price was and I also got a pretty sweet helmet thrown in.

 

Actually I think mines a 07, are the 08s out already?

 

Not sure if they are out yet, but if not pretty soon they should be...Well if you have the newest model out then you made out fine if not then you got ripped off.
