Yamaha’s rich racing heritage has resulted in the creation of a true sports thoroughbred - the YFZ450. Winner of just about every ATV award going this sleek, light and extremely powerful ATV is at the top of its class. As well as having a 449cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine, the YFZ450 features titanium valves, competition-derived clutch with on-the-fly adjustment knob and ratchet-type 5-speed transmission. A state-of-the-art suspension system and countless lightweight components mean YFZ450 is ready to race the second it comes off the production line. There’s also 45mm wide footpegs, tilted at the end for extra support on corners. And the low, flat seat offers superb riding ergonomics. When it comes to choosing the best high-performance competition-derived ATV, there is only one winner.
NEW FOR 2006
Even more performance: a larger, more powerful, 449cc engine, revised carburetion, head design and ignition timing produce even more of an excellent thing—and an increased-capacity radiator keeps it cool.
New, titanium heat shield is super light and strong.
New larger-capacity radiator is optimally mounted in the frame to guard against damage.
More comfort: a longer steering stem, new handlebars and a thicker seat make the YFZ450 nice to ride for a long time.
Longer travel out back means an excellent ride and handling.
Aluminum grab bars are light and strong.
New, eccentric chain adjuster mechanism simplifies that job, and a new, twin-piston rear brake caliper provides strong, controllable rear braking.
New tires provide excellent traction, handling and ride quality.
New LED taillight is bright, tough and draws less current.
