Anybody know if a '13 GYTR head will work on a new '14 YZ450f? I looked on the Yamaha site and they have two different part numbers, so I doubt it would work....but just askin'. Thanks.

According to the parts list the head gasket is the same part number but everything else has a new part number.

Best to check with a dealer. They will be able to tell you. Some times the numbers sub up to new numbers.

Thanks for the info. I've got a GYTR Head on my '13 YZ450 and really like it. If I get a '14 I'd like to put it on there. Rode a '14 this week, but it was on a sand track and the owner had a smooth program in it as well as the stock pipe and gearing....so it was difficult to tell a whole lot about the motor. It seemed to be somewhere in between a stock '13 and my modified bike with GYTR Head, Akropovic pipe, hi comp piston, and GYTR flywheel. If I got a '14 I'd like the option of putting on my low hour GYTR Head. Just a thought. As for the rest of the bike, it was WAY easier to throw around, much more nimble, suspension about the same (excellent), front end felt really planted (I have the engine relocation kit, linkage and radiator lowering kit on '13), overall I really liked it. Thanks.

I have not had the oportunity to see the new head yet but im sure that it is probally a better head than the 2013 gytr head the cylinder heads that i was building were filled in and worked much better than the GYTR heads ,the heads that Gibs racing used were also filled with epoxy im sure that yamaha would have adopted some of the technology in there new engine.
