I think the CRF450R cam chain is one extra set of side plates over the stocker.

[killed300ex]

the stock cam chain has 3-4 links arost the top were a crf450 chain has 4-5 links dont know as iv ever heard of a 7 or 9 link cam chain

Make: Honda
OEM#: 14401-MEB-671

if you count the plates going across there are 7

4 outter
3 inner

equal 7

I was thinking that the ones I installed had the same number of links across the chain, it was just that the crf chains were a lot thicker links making the chain wider. If you take the valve cover off and put your new chain up next to it you will notice that the crf chain is thicker, should look to be about 2 links wider, but it is really just thicker.

The correct chain that fits the 400EX is from the 2002 CRF450R dirtbike. I've been running mine for about a year now, no issues ;)

I see 9 plates. :confused: You're not counting the goggle shapped plates on the outsides?




All years CRF450R (02 and up) use the same chain. The 06 and up TRX450R/ER uses that cam chain too.....14401-MEB-671.

ok then i misunderstood what people are talking about

i was counting the plates on the outside

just the 4 then the 3 NOT including the outter pieces that the rivets are on....

then the guy that sent me this product on ebay must be right...

i got in a big fight over it because I misunderstood then...

well i need to email him and appolige..hey not everyone is always right but when i make a mastake i fess up and do the right thing....

same difference pretty much. one is just DID brand the other is factory honda. the CRF chain is cheaper though, i think.
