Description

Conquer Dirt

The championship streak continues for the YFZ450R. Why? Quite simply it outperforms all others. The race-ready YFZ450 pioneers adrenaline-pumping excitement that only Yamaha can deliver.

POWER

• 449cc, liquid-cooled, 5-valve (titanium valves), fuel injected single produces championship winning power
• Assist & slipper clutch reduces the effects of engine braking for more precise cornering & improved suspension function, while the assist function reduces lever effort for less arm pump & fatigue

Suspension

• Fully adjustable KYB piggyback front shocks feature dual rate springs and provide 250 mm (9.8") of wheel travel
• Long "Wide Arc" front A-arm design reduces changes in camber as the suspension travels through its full range of motion for optimum handling & suspension performance.
• Fully adjustable KYB piggyback rear shock is mated to a lightweight aluminum swingarm and provides 280 mm (11") of wheel travel.

DESIGN

• Tools-free installation & removal of front & rear fenders for easier cleaning & servicing
• Roomy ergonomics for the active rider or racer, making weight shifting fast & easy
• Tapered handlebars are mounted to 4-way adjustable handlebar clamps providing a total of 30 mm (1.2") of fore - aft adjustability.

- ceramic coating insures faster, more uniform heat dissipation
- ceramic coating enhances the thin film of oil between cylinder & piston, reducing friction & increasing power
Lightweight gear driven engine balancer shaft.
- reduces engine vibration for improved rider comfort & reduced rider fatigue
Dry sump lubrication system.
- design helps reduce oil-starvation at high g-loads
- no deep oil pan means engine is lower in the chassis for optimum handling & reduced centre of gravity
- replaceable element style oil filter
42 mm Mikuni throttle body fuel injection system with TPS & ISC.
- 12 hole injector for optimum fuel atomization for maximum power output
- TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) is used to more precisely calculate the fuel injection quantity for optimum power & excellent throttle response at all rpms
- ISC (Idle Speed Control) helps ensure a steady idle even during warm up
- light action throttle lever means less fatigue during long motos.
- other fuel injection benefits include; excellent throttle response, choke-free starting, steady idle during warm-up & reduced emissions
"No tools required" air box with washable dual stage foam air filter.
- washable foam filter features tool-free access for fast servicing
- dual stage design provides maximum filtering
- no tools required air box drain
Compact 5-speed manual transmission with reverse.
