10,000 mile review of my 2019 Honda CRF450L, though at the time of the video 911 bike has 12,000 miles on it. How is it holding up? What's fallen off, broken, caught fire?

Have owned and ridden my 500exc since 2015. Also a trouble free bike that has been rallied, weekend warriored, single tracked, taken on multi-day trips etc all trouble free. No mods, less ripping the screen off the muffler. 1 adjustment to the valves in 17,000 km. Lots of good options out there IMO and as pointed out it comes down to maintenance. Keep the oil and air clean and most anything will run reliably for a long time.

I have 3000km on my 2019 450L, but it's used almost entirely as a trail-to-trail bike and mostly for single track riding. So far the worst thing I've done is crush the rad and destroy the fan enclosure and blades. Easy fix, but I should get braces. The only mods are full wrap around hand guards and a seat concepts seat. I probably won't de-smog, get vortex or get the pipe, as the people who ride with me say the bike makes almost no noise and smells like nothing, when riding behind me. I feel like that's a feature now. Stalling hasn't been an issue since the first oil change, and I've never found the throttle snatchy. Still not sure if it's the bike or me that's changed. The stock tank is fine for the 40-50km of slower, technical single track that I'll do in a day. I run AC-10 tires, and I'm on my second set. I doubt there's any DOT tire better in the dirt, but with how fast they wear, I don't think they're good for what you do. I'm totally happy with the bike.

good review. only thing i wish in general with ""thismany"" mile reviews is that there would be more 50.000 or 60.000 etc mile reviews. because if we are honest, lets face it. doing 10.000miles on a motorbike and not having any major issues with it is kindof what you would expect from any single bike to be able to do right? its like people doing a 3000 mile trip in a car and saying it never missed a beat.. well i F'in hope it didnt miss a beat because that would be absolutely ridiculous XD right? :P if a service interval of a particular bike to change oils filters and check valve clearance is lets say 10.000km like on a ktm 690 then i dont really expect any weird shit to happen when it only has 20.000kms on the clock (sorry i switched to km but that is our units haha), i mean 20.000kms is alot of kms for alot of people owning motorbikes, which is also why they devalue so much with total mileage going up. but if you really think about it. 20.000kms is only 2 services later after purchasing. its nothing. i would think that with this honda CRF450L you should be able to get 100.000kms before having to do anything major like a piston or cilinder. (ofcourse taking care of it along the way and assuming you use it for leasure/travel riding not racing) and taking into account the shorter service intervals because it just is a bit more high strung and has less oil capacity etc.

@JohnTYoung 3 жыл бұрын

I am trying to rack up more miles as quick as I can. And as for "of course nothing bad is going to happen", I've known many many bikes that have issues at 1000 miles. Or 50 hours. What the manufacturer says should happen, and what actually happens on the road and in the dirt are often two different things. It's nice that someone goes out and tells you if Honda is being honest or not. Thanks for the insights!

I have a 701, but think I am more of a take your truck camper out and just ride around there and have enough room for techy single track if I run into it. feel like the 701 is kind of not needed for my needs. based on what you have been saying, seems it has been super reliable. Glad you mentioned that the RL model fixed that twitchy thing like you said. thanks!

I've always been intrigued by the CRF 450 both L and X My wife and I both ride Africa Twin's for long hauls and also ride DRZ400 E's "converted to dual sports" for lighter dual sporting trips which we enjoy! The DRZ's are stone reliable but are heavy and lack that nirvana 6th speed tall gear for the occasional pavement cruising! It's awesome the Honda builds such great bikes! It might be our next upgrade when we decide to have that one all around adventure ride. Great video will watch more!!

@@JohnTYoung . Honda has stopped them here . Apparently they didn’t sell enough . Far as I am concerned it’s a keeper. Love the the bike to be honest.

John, thanks for a fantastic review. I'm just trying out the T700, but we were considering adding some 300L's to the rental pool. Looks like we might have to add a 450L also.

Man I am so glad I found your channel I have had a 800GS since they were new because I have taken that GS where it has no right to be I have been throwing around the idea of the 450L My T7 friends said I am crazy but could not get the idea out of my head. You have convinced me to do it now.

SOLID SOLID SOLID review. Really helps people know about the long term effects on the bike. HOWEVER dropping a bike that is fully built up with protective bits and then saying this is Honda reliability, it is not so much fair. Will continue to watch your videos though. Love your way of making them.

Just watched your 20K review and now this one (backwards I know lol). I think if I ever upgrade from my WR250R, it may be to the CRF450L. Reliability is paramount to me and I like what you have to say about the valves staying put. I don't mind changing oil a little more often. It is good to listen to people with actual experience and you lay it out nicely! Great channel, subscribed!

This is the first video of yours I have watched. Great review. I have a 2018 250l. I always ride Honda and love the bike but just need more power. I'm starting to think the extra money is worth the power. With the amount of miles I put on the bike I don't see the 660 mile oil change as an issue. We live in the middle of the Hatfield McCoy trails. some of our rides take all day and are only 50 to 60 miles. Nothing has fallen off my 250 either lol I subscribed have a good day!
