i have checked and alot of the 400ex parts inchange with the new 450r . . to bad you can get the parts manual before you can buy the quad. at least it will be something to look at for the next month or two . i have allmost descided on getting a yfz450 and wait for the 05's to come out.

Nice find...might as well read thru this, as the 450R forums are becoming completely annoying and useless...

a-arms are different
steering stem different
spindles and all calipers different
swingarm different
carrier different
you can swap your wheels, tires and handlebars

I was gonna say before i read this reply that you can switch out grips and handybars and that's about all. Your not going to take your fully built 400ex and swap out all the high doller chassis parts with the TRX450.....

not even the axle??
i can't use my JD+3 a arms off my ex either??

i hope your right or i will be pissed!!!!!
do you have anything else to back this up??
and how do you know??(no offense)

it appears that some of the #'s may be the same . i will have my new honda books shortly and will cross referance the part #'s and some of the parts are the same and some are upgraded but they might be the same thing. i should have the price sheet for the parts shortly hope it has cheap as the 400ex parts .

so no aftermarket 400ex parts will fit on the trx450r will they???

that is my concern right now, to either to continue to build my ex which is almost point less becuase a 425 will not be able to have to have the same power as the 450, but my ex has the suspension and handling compents that are needed of mx...

It really gets me how all you guys wish everything was the same on the new 450 as the 400EX. If everything was the same then it would be a 400EX. Personally I'm glad it isn't. That means that is has been improved upon and is a better bike.

cheap cheap cheap

This is what I've been saying for a while now --- Reason #1 to get a TRX instead.... If nothing else, the cheap replacment parts prices will save you enough cash over a little time to pay for cool aftermarket trick stuff....

I will be surprised if you can't bolt on your aftermarket a-arms, and swingarms.

Part # are different from a 250R also, but alot of the parts will bolt up, and work fine.

not even a 400ex axle or 250r??
the rear swing arm looks exactly like the 400ex, the demisions my be different but i don't know that...

a arms that doesn't matter to much but if the rims and axle won't fit i am buying the yamaha...
