is it a HRC?

[JKWGA400EX]

i dont know if my 450 has a hrc kit or not.the first owner bought it for his wife,and it was too power full for her.it has a hrc sticker,and a hrc end cap,and the second owner(the guy i bought it from)says when he bought it it already had the sticker,and he doesnt know if its an HRC.so how can i tell,if it has the kit?

thanks,

if you look between the air box and carb and you see some white intake pipe looking stuff that is part of the hrc kit now if it has a cam idk how you would know find a friend with a stock bike and ride both i guess idk but deffently look for that intake tubing idk exactly what to call it lol but that is a deffenite sign

ride it, with stock gearing 3rd is very short and will bounce off the limiter very easy. If its a stock cam it wont touch the limiter even with a gear change with stock cam it wont touch the limiter.

Hope that helps.

I love my hrc equiped 04's power.

it didnt come with a airbox cover so i dont know about the airbox thing.on the pvc looking thing,is it the boot or the pipe beside the boot that connects to the airbox beside the filter,cause that ones white,the boot is black.and i'll be sure to check that 3rd gear thing.

thanks yall,

if there is some white pipe looking stuff there it most likely is i would take a pic and i could tell you ya or na but it sounds like it is...

well,after putting the shocks back on(i had struts on it before)i took it for a ride.3rd gear,it bounces off the limiter quite easy,and its a short gear even though u have to speed it up good before it bounces(1/2 to 3/4 open).so yall think it's an hrc?sorry i dont have a good camera,or else id take a pic.what do yall think?

My friend had his stock and it wouldn't hit the limiter in 3rd with 13/39 gearing, ht then installed a hotcam stage 2 it got close but didn't hit it.
He then bought a used hrc and it wont stay off the limiter, he had to put the stock gearing back on :)
