Well it is official. I am a new owner of a 05 trx450r. It needs alot of love. But i traded 400ex parts for it. So no complaints. As of rightnow the engine is draining the water out of it. It sat outside with no valve cover on it. To my absolute astonishment the swing arm bolt came right out. Cylinder is toast and so is the rod by the feel of it. But its almost complete. Missing just a few odds and ends. Now for the crazy. It came with a second frame that is gusseted and powdercoated. And a subframe to match. I will post some pictures to my garage as i did for my winter rebuild. Stay tuned!

Not entirely sure what caused this. Appears they "torqued" the head nuts without the thick washers and forced the stud deeper? Next picture will show you where the piece of cast went and got wedged.....at some point.

To all the 450 guys. What am i missing here? The counter shaft dosnt even touch the seal? It was obveously leaking from there no doubt. But i cant seem to figure out what is missing...fsm dosnt show anything specific. Did they use the wrong seal maybe?
Thanks man. Yeah i still dont know for sure what im doing with it just yet. We will see what the budget allows.
Kick start
Yeah this one dosnt have one either.
have a look at this ---> https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/atv/2005/trx450r-a/transmission , seems your missing #3 and # 35 ?.
Sure does. Thanks bro!
Got 450r parts if anyone is looking for some. Someone changed all the bearings in this botttom end without a press or even a hammer and bearing punch tool. They used flat tip screw drivers to wedge the bearings out..........just sad. Poor hondas cant pick there owners.

Part out. Make an offer. The inner hub has one of the bolt piers cracked. The clutch frictions are in real good shape by the looks of it.
PM sent bro!
