Engine:
- Cross Country Tuned YZ450F Power
YZ450F-style 449cc liquid-cooled DOHC four-stroke, with reversed cylinder head and forward-positioned straight intake, delivers massive power specifically tuned for cross country racing, to challenge for race victories in the very competitive GNCC® and Hare Scrambles race series. - Innovative Engine Design
The position of the engine moves the rotational mass of the cams towards the center of the bike which allows for a straight shot, down-draft intake and straight exhaust port for ultimate performance. This also keeps the air box up high, out of dust and mud/water. - Wraparound Rear Positioned Exhaust Layout
Lightweight YZ450F-spec exhaust system maximizes engine power while centralizing mass, thanks to the innovative wrap-around header design. - Advanced Fuel Injection
The fuel injection system uses 3-D mapped electronic control for the fuel and ignition timing that are optimized for cross-country racing, with a YZ450F-based 44mm throttle body. - Compact Engine Layout
Dry-sump lubrication system carries the oil reservoir inside the engine cases, for excellent mass centralization and simplified plumbing. - Wide Ratio Gearing
A five-speed wide-ratio transmission is used to insure the right gear is selected for a wide variety of terrain found in cross country racing, from tight single tracks to wide-open desert blasts. - Revised FX-Specific Clutch System
The clutch plate material, springs, push lever and oil valve are optimized for cross-country racing. - YZ-F-Derived Cooling System
Large-capacity YZ450F radiators provide maximum cooling efficiency with great strength, and can be fitted with an accessory cooling fan for additional airflow at slower speeds - Electric Starter System
Push button electric start makes starting the YZ450FX easy and convenient, complete with a simplified electrical system.
Chassis/Suspension:
- Bilateral Beam Aluminum Frame
YZ450F-based frame offers a compact size while optimizing mass centralization. With its extensively tested assembly of aluminum forgings and extrusions complete with model-specific engine mounting, the FX frame retains legendary Yamaha handling and response. - Advanced YZ450F Front Fork
Fully adjustable YZ450F-based KYB® spring-type fork with speed sensitive damping delivers precise, fade-free handling. - Revised Shock Tuning
The KYB® shock provides 11.6 inches of travel with adjusters for high- and low-speed compression damping, rebound and spring preload—and features a large piggyback reservoir for excellent damping and fade resistance. - 270mm Front Brake
270mm front brake system provides exceptional stopping power and braking control. - GNCC®-Specific Tires and Wheels
Lightweight 21-inch front and 18-inch rear rims provide exceptional durability and help reduce unsprung weight for optimal suspension performance, with enduro-specific tires. - Lightweight Racing Muffler
YZ450F-style repackable aluminum muffler shaves weight.
Additional Features:
- GYTR® Power Tuner Ready
Accessory GYTR® Power Tuner lets owners adjust air/fuel mixture and ignition timing maps to match engine performance characteristics to the rider and race conditions in a matter of seconds with the push of a few buttons. - Real World Tough Features
Rugged plastic skid plate, quick-adjust clutch, aluminum handlebars and a side stand are standard for added rider convenience. - Simplified Servicing
Quick-release quarter-turn Dzus® air box fasteners for tool-less access to the air filter. High-quality O-ring chain is tough and durable. - Embedded Graphics
Yamaha’s unique embedded graphics are built into the bodywork for extended durability, resisting both peeling and damage.
