CRF seat on a CR chassis?

Post by robertg »

Will a CRF seat fit on a Gen III frame? I know the 00-07 CR uses the same seat, but will an early 450 seat bolt up to this chassis?

Did some checking and came up with this.
02 CR250 77100-KZ4-J40
02 CRF450 77100-MEB-670
03 CRF450 77100-MEB-770
04 CRF450 77100-MEN-670
A different part number doesn't necessarily mean it won't fit, there are a number of reason why the number can change.
I doubt that it will actually fit, could be wrong.
I think the 450 sub frame is either bigger or a different shape.
Don't take my word for it though. :wink:

I did a search on ThumperTalk and someone said they are the same. However why would an aftermarket company make different seats if they were the same? I guess were pretty safe to say they are different.

not sure about the 450, but I had a crf250 and gen-3 250 sitting side by side and the seat was shapped differently on the sides and bottom. I would just find a gen-3 250 seat.

yes the 450 seat will fit, but it leaves a bit of a gap at the bottom above the shrouds, mine did anyways. I put the gripper off my old 450 on the 250 last time out. it will physically bolt up and grab the mounts but might not look right at the bottom. this was 02450/gen 3
