Engine
The newly launched 2017 CRF450X Honda Off Road Warrior features a new Honda’s Unicam cylinder heads that combine the best of the single and double over-head-cam design. This new configuration makes the engine much lighter. It also features a comparable dual-overhead-camshaft motor. It also permits the narrow by including the valve angle. This engine features a displacement of 449 ccs giving the best performance, acceleration and torque. It features a new combustion chamber to facilitate the ignition flame propagation that allows the high compression ratio. The camshaft is placed lower in the head to make the engine more compact and for the bottom centre of gravity. The new gear-driven counterbalancer reduces the vibration, and it also drives the water pump. The new Eight clutch plates provide the surface area necessary to handle the massive torque of the engine. It also carefully matched the clutch springs by providing the light feel at the lever. The new Twin-sump lubrication system separates the oil supply for the crankshaft and piston valve train from the clutch and transmission. It guarantees the best supply of oil to the clutch by eliminating the clutch and transmission material contamination of the engine oil. It further reduces the amount of circulating of oil and permits the use of a smaller oil pump. The lightweight titanium intake valves allow for the use of smaller valve springs, and it also reduces the overall engine height. This dirt bike features new dual radiators featuring a refined core area for improved heat dissipation compared to conventional dual-radiator design. The new coolant recovery tank is located in the front of the engine between the frame downtubes for an improved centre of gravity. The plastic skid plates protect this coolant reservoir. The electric start system guarantees a trouble-free starting in all conditions. It also drives the clutch side of the crankshaft to offer a superior lubrication to starter gears while producing the small engine with the short and high crank.
