Yes, this part is specifically designed to fit the Honda CRF450R from 2017 through 2024.
It is best practice to inspect the existing O-ring for cracks or flattening. If it is worn, replace it to ensure a proper seal.
While unlikely, applying a tiny amount of high-temperature anti-seize lubricant to the threads can prevent seizing during long-term use.
No, you should always hand-tighten the plug initially to ensure it is not cross-threaded. Only use tools for the final snug fit.
The anodised finish is highly resistant to fading, though extreme exposure to harsh chemicals or direct sunlight for many years can lead to minor color changes.
Back the plug out immediately, clean the threads on both the engine case and the plug, and restart the threading process to avoid cross-threading.
Ensure the engine is cool. Use a socket or wrench that perfectly fits the profile of the plug head to prevent rounding the edges.
Installation is straightforward but requires attention to detail. Ensure the engine casing is cool before removal to prevent potential seizing. Before inserting the Apico Engine Plug, clean the internal threads of your engine casing with a soft brush to remove any grit. Tighten by hand initially to ensure the threads are properly aligned, then use the appropriate tool to seat it firmly without over-tightening.
