2015 Yamaha WR450F

Advanced, light aluminum YZ250F frame with open-class power – the best of both worlds.

• A YZ-bred advanced aluminum frame - carefully engineered from castings, forgings and extrusions—enhances handling while retaining legendary Yamaha feel and characteristics.

• Highly evolved five-titanium-valved engine starts with the push of a button.

• Highly functional digital enduro computer offers speedometer, clock, tripmeter, etc., in basic mode—or pace management functions such as timer, distance-compensating tripmeter, average speed, etc., when switched to race mode.

• The WR450F is green sticker approved for California.

• 449cc liquid-cooled DOHC four-stroke with five titanium valves delivers more broad power than ever, with high over-rev capacity and crisp, linear throttle response.

• Fuel injection system delivers quick throttle response and smooth power delivery at nearly all altitudes and temperatures.

• Dry-sump lubrication system carries the oil reservoir inside the engine cases, for excellent mass centralization and simplified plumbing.

• Digital TCI ignition system delivers precise spark and monitors engine speed to provide optimal timing for fast, strong response during hard acceleration.

• YZ250F-inspired frame makes for a compact size while optimizing mass centralization. With its extensively tested assembly of aluminum forgings and extrusions, the WR frame retains legendary Yamaha handling and response.

• Compact YZ250F-based chassis provides a lightweight feeling with plush suspension performance for the most demanding rider.

• Removable aluminum rear subframe is constructed of square-section tube.

• Fully adjustable YZ-based KYB® air/oil-separate 48mm cartridge-type fork delivers precise, fade-free handling; fork protectors provide excellent tube protection.

• The KYB® shock provides 11.6 inches of 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.

• Cool YZ-derived bodywork and a thick seat look great and feel excellent on long rides. Tapered aluminum handlebar in forged triple clamp for light weight and great comfort.

• All this, including: tool-less access air box, Excel® rims, 18” rear wheel, tapered aluminum handlebars, wave-type brake rotors, electric start, on-the-fly clutch adjuster, O-ring chain and aluminum side stand. This machine is ready for tight trails, woods, or desert fun.
