FEATURES & BENEFITS

ENGINE
Enduro-Tuned YZ450F Power
YZ450F-style 449cc liquid-cooled DOHC four-stroke with four titanium valves and forward intake and rearward exhaust shares the YZ450F’s piston and cam profiles, with WR450F-specific silencer and ECU tuning built for enduro racing.

Advanced Fuel Injection
Fuel injection system delivers precise throttle response and smooth power delivery at all altitudes and temperatures, featuring a high performance 44mm throttle body. The air filter is easily accessed without tools and is positioned high in front of the bike, away from dirt roost from the rear tire and further away from water and mud.

Compact Engine Layout
Dry-sump lubrication system carries the oil reservoir inside the engine cases, for excellent mass centralization and no exposed oil lines that can be damaged.

YZ-F-Derived Cooling System
Large-capacity YZ450F radiators provide maximum cooling efficiency with great strength, and come standard with a cooling fan for additional airflow under demanding race conditions.

Enduro-Ready Wide Ratio Gearing
Wide-ratio five-speed transmission and enduro-spec multiplate clutch—ideal for the rigors of tight woods racing.

Rear Positioned Exhaust Layout
Lightweight exhaust system maximizes engine power while centralizing the mass of the exhaust system, thanks to the innovative wrap-around design.

California Green Sticker Compliant and Forestry Approved Muffler An aluminum mechanical muffler with USFS-approved spark arrestor keeps things light and doesn’t require routine servicing.

Electric Starter System
Electric starter provides effortless, convenient restarts, while a main switch-free electrical system makes starting and riding away even easier than before.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION
Bilateral Beam Aluminum Frame
YZ450F-based frame offers a compact size while optimizing mass centralization. With its extensively tested assembly of aluminum forgings and extrusions complete with model-specific engine mounts, the WR450F frame retains legendary Yamaha handling and response.

Compact and Lightweight Chassis
Compact YZ450F-based chassis provides a lightweight feeling with advanced suspension systems for plush and responsive performance for the most demanding rider.

Legendary KYB® YZ450F Front Fork
Industry leading, fully adjustable YZ450F-based KYB® spring-type fork with speed-sensitive damping and Kashima Coat™ has been specifically tested and tuned for enduro racing and delivers precise, fade-free handling. Fork protectors provide excellent tube protection.

WR450F Shock Tuning
The KYB® shock provides 12.5 inches of wheel travel with adjusters for high- and low-speed compression damping, rebound and spring preload—and features a large piggyback reservoir for excellent damping and fade resistance—all tuned especially for the WR450F.

Large 270mm Front Brake
Large diameter 270mm front brake system is the same disc fitted to the YZ450F, for exceptional stopping power and braking control.

Enduro-Specific Tires and Wheels
