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.

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.

 Redlands, CA has one in as of yesterday. It was still available. Mine is coming from Arkansas once they get it. Happy to see them starting to land at west coast dealers. It was right next to a 2022. Definitely can feel and see the difference in width towards the front of the bike

Where are you from ? 
cause here in France, I’m still waiting for mine. I called my dealer yesterday and he told me he doesn’t have any updates from Yamaha Europe yet even if he is the biggest Yamaha bikes French seller every year. That’s crazy.

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? 

You must not remember the 17 CRF450… it came out sometime after January and the 18’s were released within like 4 months with the electric start. I knew a few guys that had bought 17’s and bought the electric start kit. They were pissed that Honda did that.

New models should be released at the end of the year like in December no earlier. Like they used to in the 80’s.

Should have it built and ready to go middle of next week. Waiting on my suspension from ENZO to get back. For sure will get one out. I will say, this thing feels like a mix between a Honda and KTM when you sit on it to me.

Wow.

I’m surprised Clawson is only charging 16% over MSRP and not more!!
I’ve been in there several times with friends. Whenever we asked about a bike or SxS, the answer was always “this one is sold, but I can put you on a waiting list.”

How do I get my hands on some of these? I looked on the website but didn’t see where to buy

Mine is in any-day as well .

First two showed up in Boise last week. I'm next on the list. Crossing my fingers for another shipment before mid-January. Hoping to be paying MSRP-Blucru deal.

Yea I went and looked again and saw the store, I ordered the wash cover and a couple spares. My next question would be does anyone know if the previous skid plate would work?

I literally can't quit drooling over this bike. I have a 21 CRF WE and I'm really considering buying a 23 yz to see which I like better lol..

I seen a few pictures of him riding the new bike. The front side of the skid plate is zip tied  to the frame in multiple places. So might fit but the bolt holes will not? Just a guess.

Lightspeed has the new skid plate on eBay or you can call them. I just ordered one today.
