1

Nearly 75mm wider overall than the YFZ450,

the stance of this 450R is motocross-ready.

2

The lightweight aluminium frame with high

tension steel bottom frame lets the engine sit

low for excellent mass centralisation.

3

Long travel suspension components are

carefully chosen for best performance, with

front shock bodies featuring Kashima coating

for smooth operation

.

4

Four-position adjustable handlebars allow

every rider to choose their best position, while

the all-day comfortable throttle and revised

engine balancer improves ergonomics even

further.

5

The YFZ450R’s designers made this ATV

roomy, with plenty of space to hang off in the

corners, and the seat padded just right to be

more comfortable regardless of riding position.

6

Fuel injection offers precise fuel delivery.

With big 42mm Mikuni

®

throttle body and 12

hole injector, this system provides exceptional

atomisation of the fuel for maximum power.

Crankshaft and counterbalancer have

optimised ratio for superior vibration control.

The crankcase also houses the oil tank, which

helps to centralise mass for unmatched handling

and makes maintenance easier.

The fuel-injected 449cc engine uses the

cylinder head and cylinder from the YZ450F

for superb power characteristics. Power deliver

is smooth and strong off the line with lots of

low and mid range where you need it. As rpm

climbs you’ll ﬁ nd the same top end punch that

has made the YFZ450 such a ﬁ erce competitor

and class leader.

Camshafts designed to maximise torque

available in the low and mid ranges.

Body panels that the rider contacts during

operation are of a special, soft plastic material

for high comfort levels.

Seat is narrow in the front, yet wide

and padded in the rear to provide a more

comfortable ride, even when hanging off on the

side of the seat in a turn.

Wheels are set motocross-spec wide near the

maximum allowable width, for great cornering

ability.

The Dunlop front tyres have the right

compound, tyre proﬁ le, tread pattern, and

sidewall-to-tread-centre-stiffness ratio to provide

outstanding comfort, bump absorption, and

precise cornering performance.

At 20 inches rear and 21 inches front, the

tyres also provide great ground clearance, which

makes the YFZ450R fun to ride in the bush, too.

ProTaper handlebars are mounted on 4-way

clamps for exceptional adjustability. There are

two sets of holes in the handlebar crown, and

eccentric clamps so the rider can choose the

standard setting, 10mm or 20mm forward, or

10mm back.

Frame is aluminium for lightweight, except

for the frame member under the engine. Here

tensioned steel is used for its combination of

strength and thinness. This allows the designers

to sit the engine lower overall for excellent mass

centralisation for unmatched handling.

The front frame is noticeably narrow at

the A-arm mounting points. This dramatically

reduces changes in camber as the long A-arms

travel through their full range of motion.

The front 44mm KYB shocks have Kashima

coating for smooth operation with superb

bump absorption and excellent anti-bottoming

characteristics. The 250mm of wheel travel

means this racer is up to even the most

challenging tracks.

For excellent stopping ability, YFZ450R

features dual front hydraulic disc brakes and a

trick looking, lightweight wave-type rear rotor.
