Anybody expecting theirs this month? Any of the testers or media with the bikes having so called clutch issues?
I’m expecting my monster edition sometime this month
I'm waiting for Keefer, he said he only got 10 hours out of the previous generation clutch. I've got 85 hours on my current 450 with zero clutch issues. If it lasts for him it'll be fine for anyone who doesn't abuse it.
There’s been a rumor that part of the delay releasing it was there was a faulty part in the clutch they had to fix before anyone can get theirs. Who knows if this is true but man they seem to have really botched this release. At what point do they just call it a 2024 model?
We are still in 2022
You’re right, we are. But figuring that the 23 bikes all dropped around June as they typically do and now yamaha is saying Jan for these 450’s to show up, the 24 models will be 5-6 months behind this 23.
The Yamaha intro was in Spencer our October.
I just saw in a FB group post, someone took delivery. So it looks like they are starting to show up now.
Yamaha's website shows stock at a few dealers in CA and AZ. Hopefully they make it east soon.
I’ve been checking Yamaha’s website quite often and I’ve seen them in UT, OR, MT as well. I’m first on the list at my local dealer in Ohio and my sales guy texted me on 12/9 saying his system is still showing January, but that it’s looking good because the bikes usually come in through the west coast ports.
Pretty sure this isn’t right but I may make a quick trip to Fresno
I called the dealer as I was curious and they do have a blue one in stock. They actually had 2 come in. A Monster Energy edish and this one. This one is still there and has been there for the last 6 days. Someone go buy that bike!
Too bad I don't live closer or I would...
Pit Row
Monster edition is not my first choice the Blue one is gone.
Well that was quick
asking $800 dealer mark up on top of $800 prep
I’ll wait for my Blue one at another dealer
Wow.
Have you guys checked with Power Motorsports in Oregon ? Probably a good idea to email Keefer and let him out you into his contacts. Their pricing over there is probably the best I've seen when I was looking around.
The Yamaha website inventory search is showing several around here but when you call the dealer they all say the same thing that they have no idea when they will get theirs. I think Yamaha is saying there are more here than there really are. I think a lot of people on the waiting list will get their deposit back and buy something else when they get tired of waiting and very little information from Yamaha.
My dealer said mine shipped from Cali today. I should get mine next weekend hopefully.
I’m waiting on mine in nc, hopefully it gets here soon! Anyone figured out if the air filters are the same? I looked on uni and it says the 450 is the same from 18-23. I know the 250f is the same for 23. I hope it is but looking at the photos I don’t think they are and I have a bunch from my last 2 bikes
Not the same. Twin air has a new one listed but my dealer friend said eta is 2-17-23
In the long run it’s not a big deal cleaning one filter but that’s gonna get old. I looked on Motosport and it says filters expected to ship in 2 weeks
thats oem filters, I will be happy to buy if that’s true
I plan on buying the Powerflow kit whenever it’s available so I’ll wait probably. But it’s definitely nice to have at least 2.
Any update on when they are supposed to be available in europe ?
Last update was first days of January 2023. Some euro countries have long holiday season until 7th January and my bike day 11. This is pretty much 2 months delay for first info so could come even later i guess.
