  • For our latest garage build, we picked the 2023 Honda CRF450RWE. At the highest end of the price range today we want to take this bike to the next level. Honda has a very good starting platform, but the chassis can be a little harsh and over-aggressive at times. The goal was to make the bike a little more forgiving in the choppy areas and calm down the cornering aspect to get more straight-line stability, but we didn’t want to lose Honda’s tried-and-true front-end steering feel.

    My 23WE was valved way too stiff from the factory, but nothing wrong with that fork. All the Showa needs is valving and maybe springs depending on your weight. I just did mine using JBI’s pro fork kit and the results are amazing. Only took a few hours and some basic tools. Before spending thousands on a KYB swap spend the $300 to valve it properly.

    If you like how the kyb is plush initially on yamaha and want your showa like that check out ride jbi. The yamaha since like 2018 or so is leaf spring midvalve. JBI converts showa to same type leaf spring midvalve . Personally im on a 21 kx450f and went with jbi profork revalve. Super happy with it. Ive had alot of different suspension setups from many different shops and its my favorite of them all plush with good holdup and excellent bottoming resistance very similar to blackjack inserts I had on my previous 2019 ktm 450.

    I ran a similar set up on my '22 CRF250R with KYB A-Kit... Valving usually needs tweaking from the factory settings, but once dialled in, KYB has great components for 99.9% of riders, with good initial plush feel, hold up and bottoming resistance. Overall, I think it helps with the Honda's twitchy characteristics.

    So far I have purchased 3 2018 crf450 for a grand total of 12k$ they were all pre owned but all had oem chain an sprockets
