Torrance, CA: On February 26, 2009, American Honda will issue a Service Bulletin announcing a Product Update Campaign for 2009 CRF450R motorcycles within a certain affected VIN range. This update affects only the starter decompressor system, and customers can continue to safely operate their CRF450R in its present state in the interim but should get the motorcycle updated as soon as parts are available.
Honda dealerships will soon receive a detailed procedure for replacing the 2009 CRF450R decompressor pin and decompressor actuator weight/shaft as indicated. This change will improve the durability of the decompressor pin and prevent pin breakage that can result in very difficult or impossible kick starting. Delivery of necessary replacement parts should begin in early March 2009, with an adequate supply for all repairs by the end of March.
Not all 2009 CRF450Rs are affected by this product update, only those within the specified range. A complete listing of affected 2009 CRF450Rs will be issued with the upcoming bulletin and affected customers will be mailed a letter in early March.
