7/28/2025 1:22pm Thanks this is very helpful. I am curious how the new 26 YZ450F will be and if maybe that will solve the few issues I do have. I think they are testing them sometime in early-mid August

7/27/2025 4:13pm Thanks everyone for all the information and the replies. For the most part I actually enjoy the bike but there are two things that seem to just keep popping up that annoy me from time to time. The first is just how abrupt and touchy the power is. I enjoy how much power it is it's just touchy at that...

7/26/2025 10:54am Thanks for the information. Not really into the kawasaki's even though they have great pricing right now. Even if someone hasn't rode both the yz and the crf I would be interested to hear what 25 CRF450 owners think about the bike

7/26/2025 4:11am So I have a 24 Yamaha yz450F that so far I have put on the FCP engine mounts, Ride eng clamps, FMF exhaust and the Jamie Ellis map via the yamaha tuner app. Overall I like the bike but there are just a few small things that still kind of bother me, I can live with them but they are...

8/9/2023 1:33pm Has anyone put in an aftermarket battery in their 23? If so which one did you go with? My old shorai from my 21 wont fit due to the seat base

6/28/2023 4:46pm Thanks for the info. It measured out at a 3 was thinking of maybe trying a 2. How did it feel on 3 compared to stock?

4/16/2023 3:50am Well the weather has finally broke and I have spent a decent amount of time on the new bike. I have four rides on it and so far this is what I can report. Track Conditions Tighter track with mixed terrain. Some sections of hard pack, sand also a mix of flat turns, rutted turns and banked turns. Several offcambers...

4/5/2023 4:22pm R-Tech plastics out of italy has plastic kits in stock. Good fitment and quality. Think I paid 200 bucks or so shipped to my door for the full set which had all the plastics except fork guards.

3/24/2023 4:13pm Thanks yeah I did. I was just trying to source as many opinions as possible. I'm excited to ride the bike but not really in love with this air filter design.
bv Added a reply to New 2023 YZ450F
3/24/2023 3:01pm For those of you that have been riding the bike any tips,tricks or concerns with the new air filter design. Never been a big grease guy so I tried the pro seal but I'm concerned that may actually make the seal worse. With the pro seal the ridge that sticks up and creates that indentation like barrier on the air...

3/19/2023 11:42am Haven't rode mine yet but if its anything like the last generation I found it took at least 5 hours for everything to break in. My 18,20 and 21 all felt stiff until around the 5 hour mark then were fine

3/2/2023 3:12am I sure hope not since I don't believe anyone is offering an oem replacement spring let alone a stiffer alternative.

2/20/2023 2:46pm Anyone have any info on their experience with the rekluse TorqDrive Clutch Pack? Always been a hinson or oem guy but interested to hear how others experiences have been with the rekluse?

1/21/2023 3:05am Does anyone have any leads on air filters, clutch plates etc? Would like to have a few sets in the garage. Seems like its going to be at least a few months before parts become available
bv Added a reply to 100 percent Armega Goggle
5/28/2020 3:18am I was a long time airbrake guy but always struggled with fogging in the cold, sweat in the goggles when it was hot and lenses not holding up. I tried some of the original 100 percent goggles like the accuri and racecraft and honestly they just werent for me. After checking out the Armega's in person at last year nationals...

8/14/2018 5:48am Not a thing pretty quiet honestly. I was surprised both guys kept to themselves. Webb was pretty quiet and then took off. Barcia stuck around and chatted with literally every fan that was their. He also went ou tof his way and shook the hand of every team member and thanked them.
