    2007 crf450x compatibility with similar year crf450r

    by Aaron Cox » Tue May 02, 2017 8:56 pm

    Hi everyone, I've recently brought a 2007 crf450x. I need a swingarm for it, I have access to a swingarm, suspension parts etc, but (I haven't seen it yet), and he told me its an 07 model, but wasn't sure if it was an R or X. I no how to tell via the vin number, but I'm curious if any parts do actually fit the X model?
    Thank you.

    Welcome to the site !! \:D/

    What you need to do "if" you can , is measure them side by side , the swingarm itself should be the same size and basically bolt up , but the difference "may" be where the linkage pivot is that hangs down on the bottom , that is usually where any difference would be that would create any issues , as it could throw off the ratio of the shock linkage and how the shock would operate , i know on R models , 02-04 is the same , then 05-09 , though the 08 swingarm length is slightly different , and some race teams used the 08 swingarm on the later model (09-14) bikes to help with handling , so there might be slight differences thru the years , but the only way you will know for sure is to measure them side by side , as slight differences could make a difference in handling for better or worse
