About the Honda CBR400
Choose the filter application before choosing the finish.
Honda’s 1986 Japanese CBR400R reference identifies the NC23 model and NC23E engine. Use those details only for that specific model reference. For the filters offered here, the practical decision is the two-year early group versus the 1988–1992 group, followed by a comparison with the filter actually fitted to the engine.
Choose by application and sealing dimensions
The early filter entry lists 1986–1987. The later standard and chrome-cap filters list 1988–1992. Compare the fitted filter’s mounting, gasket contact and dimensions with the replacement; the finish alone is not a reason to change the specified filter.

- Compare the fitted filter mounting, gasket location, height and clearance.
