Honda CRF450L Power Up Kit/Sport Pack imported from Australia. This is the Sport Pack the Aussies put into the CRF450L to get it up to US spec, which is around 45HP. It includes the airbox manifold and the ECU. These are genuine Honda OEM parts still in their original packaging, which has never...

No worries, I decided to stick to KTM. But I really do like the CRF450L.

I have the Aussie/US spec ECU which I can let you have for far less. Original Honda parts and still in packaging. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks Xpat and Boland re: the 500. What I meant by the 350 (supposedly) being more versatile is that I thought because it has more manageable power it might be a better option in technical terrain. Bear in mind though that I am a total beginner. Only learnt to ride a bike about a year...

Thanks mate, very useful! I've already sold the 350 but thinking quite seriously about the 500. Let's just say reading Xpat's stories (and now yours) is proving to be very persuasive.

Great read and pics! Have a question for both McKracken and XPat...how do you guys think a KTM 350 EXC-F would handle the Botswana sand? I'm fairly new to this and used to have an old beat up 350 EXC-F but thinking of either getting a 500 or the Honda CRF 450L. Would be interested to hear your...

Some news....just test rode a CRF450L at Biker's Warehouse in Jo'burg that has a few interesting mods. Apart from the touring screen and cycra hand guards they've fitted a Leo Vince exhaust and apparently have made some other mods to try and improce the output (although the young salesman wasn't...

I rode one very briefly at Honda Tygerberg. Obviously not enough time to get a good sense of it but definitely felt quite tame compared to my KTM 350 EXC-F. From what I understand from reading UK reviews (which is same spec as ours) it still has a lot more torque than a 250L, which apparently...

After SARS duty costs, courier charges etc...around R5k

Nope. Managed to get someone in Aus to buy the parts for me and send them over. Am holding off on the bike purchase for now.

I have the Aussie upgrade kit if anyone is interested - FYI

Yes, I certainly would!

Okay, I'm no mechanical guru so don't shoot me if I'm wrong....but I am good at desktop resarch ;-) From what I can find online, the Aussie derestriction kit is based on the following two parts: 17253-MKE-A50 (Airbox hose/intake pipe) 38770-MKE-A52 ECU (same as US ECU) US forums are talking...

Here's an interesting suggestion on how to boost the power to 40hp - watch from 3:30 in the link below. Could anyone with more mechanical experience comment on whether this sounds feasible? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C7T4zqAJKY
