This Polisport Chain Guide in Black is for owners of Honda CRF250R (2011-2017) and CRF450R (2011-2016) dirt bikes seeking a durable, direct replacement for their stock chain guide. Its key benefit is superior resistance to abrasion and impacts, ensuring longevity during demanding motocross and enduro riding. A potential caveat is that it's specifically designed for these model years, so compatibility outside this range is not guaranteed. Key features include construction from high-resistance TPU and a design that mirrors OEM specifications for a perfect fit.

No, this specific Polisport chain guide (MPN 8454100001) is designed exclusively for the Honda CRF250R (2011-2017) and CRF450R (2011-2016). It is not compatible with other models or different model years.
The chain guide is constructed from durable TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane), known for its excellent resistance to abrasion and impacts. It also utilizes Polisport's proprietary DGP (Durable Gloss Polypropylene) technology.
This product is designed as a direct replacement for OEM parts. Typically, it reuses the existing mounting hardware from your stock chain guide. Please refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific installation requirements.
Clean the chain guide with a damp cloth or a mild degreaser after riding. Avoid using abrasive materials or high-pressure washing directly on the surface to preserve its finish and material integrity.
TPU offers superior resistance to abrasion and impacts compared to many standard plastics, leading to a longer lifespan for the guide, chain, and sprockets, especially under demanding off-road conditions.
While the guide has a glossy finish, painting TPU or polypropylene materials can be challenging and may not adhere well or last. It is designed to maintain its black finish.
Verify that your motorcycle's make, model, and year precisely match the compatibility list (Honda CRF250R 2011-2017, CRF450R 2011-2016). Ensure no obstructions are present on the mounting points and that you are using the correct mounting hardware.
Double-check chain tension; ensure it is set according to your motorcycle's service manual specifications. The guide itself should not cause excessive noise if fitted correctly; the issue may lie with chain tension or sprocket wear.
Ensure the chain is properly aligned and that there are no burrs or damage on the chain or sprockets. Verify that the chain guide is installed flush and that the chain is not rubbing against unintended parts of the swingarm.
Confirm the chain tension is correct and that the sprockets are not excessively worn. Re-check the alignment of the chain guide relative to the chain and sprocket.
Compatibility: This chain guide is specifically designed for the Honda CRF250R model years 2011 through 2017 and the Honda CRF450R model years 2011 through 2016. Ensure your motorcycle's make, model, and year match these specifications before installation. It is intended as a direct replacement for OEM part number 8454100001.
Setup: Installation typically involves removing the old chain guide and mounting the new Polisport guide using the appropriate hardware (usually existing bolts from the stock component or new ones if specified by the motorcycle manufacturer). It is recommended to consult your motorcycle's service manual for detailed installation steps to ensure correct torque specifications and alignment.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of the chain guide, regular cleaning is essential. After riding, use a damp cloth or a mild degreaser to remove mud, dirt, and chain lube residue. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers directly on the guide, as this could damage the surface finish or potentially compromise the material over time. Inspect the guide regularly for signs of excessive wear or damage, especially after hard impacts.
