Features

New for 2024

  • All-New 450cc Four-Stroke Engine Lighter, more compact with increased power across the entire rev range, the all-new 450cc engine maintains the previous YZ450FX model's exceptional pulling power and renowned ease-of-use, with ECU settings tailored to enhance low-end tractability and a 500 rpm higher rev limit for even more top-end power.
  • All-New Aluminum Bilateral Beam Frame A redesigned aluminum bilateral beam frame with YZ450FX-specific front engine mounts provides just the right amount of strength and flex for the perfect balance of straight-line stability and cornering performance. The result is a better handling machine with lighter feel, more agility and increased traction, allowing the rider to tackle tight, technical trail sections with greater confidence.
  • New Compact Lightweight Clutch The all-new clutch design replaces the coil springs of the previous model with a new disc spring and integrates primary gear and basket into a single steel unit. The result is a more compact, lightweight and durable assembly which yields smooth engagement and excellent feel. Premium clutch cover employs a stylish geometric design that helps minimize scratching and lends a bold look.
  • New Wide-Ratio Five-Speed Transmission All new tri-shaft transmission layout vertically stacks the transmission shafts, raising the center shaft and forming a triangle between the crank, drive shaft and main shaft for a lighter, more compact transmission. Gear ratios are optimized for cross country conditions.
  • New Yamaha Power Tuner App Like having factory team support in your pocket, Yamaha's groundbreaking Power Tuner App is revised to be even more user-friendly. New features include an intuitive “Simple Tuning” slide bar for engine mapping, three-level Traction Control, a lap timer, and helpful engine and suspension tuning guides.
  • Revised Suspension with Toolless Fork Adjustment The YZ450FX's front fork now features a new hand operated compression clicker for simple, toolless adjustments. Front fork and rear shock settings are optimized for cross country competition. A 10mm lower seat height than the YZ450F provides a lower center of gravity for improved low-speed maneuverability.
  • Slimmer Body & Improved Ergos A new slimmer, flatter and more compact body eases rider movement for improved control, including more seamless, rounded features from seat edges and side covers to a more narrow fuel tank and front shroud. The rider triangle is also improved with increased legroom between the seat and footpegs, and revised handlebar position for a more natural posture and enhanced rider comfort.
  • The Ultimate Open Class Cross Country Racer Based on the benchmark-setting YZ450F motocrosser, the all-new YZ450FX is designed to dominate cross country competition. Lighter, more compact, with improved rider ergonomics, revised chassis, more powerful engine and next-generation Yamaha Power Tuner app all carry over directly from the YZ450F. Additional modifications tailored toward enhanced XC performance include a wide-ratio transmission, larger fuel capacity, 18-inch rear wheel, side stand, skid plate, revised ECU and suspension settings, along with a 10mm lower seat height for increased maneuverability in challenging off-road conditions.

Top Items

Chassis and Suspension

  • All-New Aluminum Bilateral Beam Frame Striking the perfect balance of precise cornering performance and handling stability, the redesigned aluminum bilateral beam frame consists of more than 10 different aluminum components welded together with YZ450FX-specific XC-tuned engine mounts. The result is a better handling machine with lighter feel, improved bump absorption and increased traction, allowing the rider to enter corners with greater confidence and more line choices.
  • Class-Leading Suspension The industry-leading, fully adjustable KYB® coil spring-type fork with speed-sensitive damping provides exceptional balance between handling and bump absorption, and now features a new hand operated compression clicker for toolless adjustments. The linkage type rear suspension uses a KYB® shock with specially-tuned damping characteristics to match the YZ450FX chassis.

  • New Wide-Ratio Five-Speed Transmission The YZF450FX’s wide-ratio 5-speed transmission provides a gear for any off-road location, from tight technical sections to open fields and fire roads. The all-new tri-shaft transmission layout vertically stacks the transmission shafts, raising the center shaft and forming a triangle between the crank, drive shaft and main shaft for a lighter, more compact transmission.
  • New Yamaha Power Tuner App The free-of-charge Yamaha Power Tuner App brings the power of the GYTR® Power Tuner to an iOS® or Android® device, allowing owners to adjust air/fuel mixture and ignition timing, log race set-up information, and monitor a range of data such as maintenance and system diagnosis, engine run time, and more. The newest version of the app has been revised to be more user-friendly, with new features include an intuitive “Simple Tuning” slide bar for engine mapping, Traction Control tuning, lap timer, and helpful engine and suspension tuning guides.
  • On-The-Fly Engine Mapping Selection New, lightweight handlebar-mounted switchgear allows the rider to quickly select between preloaded engine maps—loaded and configured in the Power Tuner App—to adjust for changing riding conditions. Map 1 provides more responsive, quicker revving engine characteristics while Map 2 provides smoother response and slower revving characteristics for when traction is limited.
