Steering stem interchangeability

[JRN2786]

My stem is bent and I'm looking for a new one. Will a 250r or 450r stem work? just wondering in case i come across a deal on eBay or something. I searched the forum but couldn't find anything about this. Thanks

I have a 450r stem on mine. The stem & the bushing is bigger so you'll need 3-4 washers between the clamp to act as spacers & maybe longer bolts. But it will work.

Ok is the 450 stem the same length an the 400s?

I don't think I actually measured it. But it doesn't seem any different.

Ok thanks maybe easier to find an extended 450r stem used than a 400 idk I would think a 250r stem would work I know someone around here has tried it
