ENGINE

New High Performance 450cc Four-Stroke Engine

The 450cc liquid-cooled DOHC four-stroke engine is light, compact and features strong pulling power across the entire rev range. YZ450F-based engine produces seamless, linear power from low to mid range to make the bike easy to control in technical off-road situations.

Lightweight Hydraulic  Clutch

No adjustment required for the light pull hydraulically-operated clutch. Disc spring clutch is a compact, lightweight and durable assembly that yields smooth engagement and excellent feel. 

Wide-Ratio Five-Speed Transmission

The WR450F’s wide-ratio 5-speed transmission provides a gear for any off-road location, from tight technical sections to open fields and fire roads. The tri-shaft transmission layout vertically stacks the transmission shafts, raising the centre shaft and forming a triangle between the crank, drive shaft and main shaft for a light and compact transmission.

Optimized Magneto Rotor

The AC magneto's inertial mass is increased for stable and confidence-inspiring riding feel on low speed tight trails with enhanced engine stall resistance.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

Aluminum Bilateral Beam Frame

An aluminum bilateral beam frame with WR450F-specific engine mounts produces the right combination of strength and flex for the perfect balance of straight-line stability and cornering performance. The result is a superb-handling machine with light feel, high agility and plenty of traction, allowing the rider to tackle tight, technical trails with supreme confidence.

New Lightweight Rear Brake Assembly

Rear brake master cylinder diameter, piston diameter and brake disc diameter are all shrunk to lose weight and enhance rear brake controllability.

New Rear Suspension

Revised compression damping and hand adjustable slow-speed compression damper ensures a comfortable ride and high-speed stability.

Revised drive sprocket

Rear drive sprocket has one extra tooth (50T to 51T) for improved power delivery on fast flowing trails.
