Champion and ATV Illustrated’s 2007 Sport ATV of the Year (a tie with our own Raptor

- Most powerful, industry-exclusive, five-titanium-valve engine and
350-pound dry weight give the YFZ450 the best power-to-weight ratio of any ATV ever
produced.
- Ultra-compact, lightweight, high-tensile steel frame with fully
adjustable suspension means YFZ450 is also the best handling race-bred ATV ever produced.
- The YFZ450 comes standard with pushbutton electric starting, a
convenient flip-type parking brake and suspension calibrated for performance.
|
- 449cc liquid-cooled, DOHC four-stroke with five titanium valves
features 95mm bore and 63.4mm stroke for massive power with high over-rev capacity and
crisp, linear throttle response.
- Large-capacity radiator is optimally mounted in the frame to guard
against damage.
- Reliable, pushbutton electric start in any gear adds extra
convenience.
- High-performance 39mm Keihin FCR flat-slide carburetor with throttle
position sensor (TPS) delivers ultra-precise fuel/air mixing and crisp throttle response.

head cover and right-side crankcase cover; small-design cam chain tensioner and oil pump;
aluminum oil hose; and light CDI ignition unit.
- Trick, works-style clutch lever features oversize barrel adjuster
for easy, no-tool adjustability of lever/cable play.
- Dry-sump engine carries oil in an aluminum tank directly in front of
the engine for excellent cooling and optimal protection from rocks or mud.
- DC ignition system delivers ultra-precise spark and 3D timing for
faster, stronger engine response during hard acceleration.
- High-performance stainless steel exhaust header is mated to a
USFS-approved spark arrestor.
- Smooth-shifting YZ-spec ratchet-type five-speed transmission and
heavy-duty clutch deliver all that power to the rear tires with maximum efficiency.

filter for easy maintenance.
- Ignition coil is integrated into the spark plug cap; extremely light
and compact.
|
- Independent aluminum upper A-arm front suspension features
competition-spec piggyback shocks with 9.1 inches of travel and adjustable preload,
rebound and high- and low-speed compression damping.
- Rear suspension system is YZ linkage-type, controlled by a fully
adjustable Showa shock with 10.6 inches of travel with adjustable preload, rebound and
high- and low-speed compression damping.
- Ultra-rigid cast aluminum swingarm reduces weight and ensures
optimal suspension action.
- Titanium heat shield is super light and strong.
- Long travel out back means an excellent ride and handling.
- Eccentric chain adjuster mechanism simplifies that job, and a
twin-piston rear brake caliper provides strong, controllable rear braking.
- Numerous aluminum components—including the swingarm, upper
A-arms, oil tank, grab bars and wheels—help keep overall dry weight down to a paltry
350 pounds.
- Controlled Fill cast aluminum subframe is light and super-strong.
- Lightweight front and rear master cylinders, combined with twin
161mm front discs with twin-piston calipers and single 200mm rear disc, deliver incredible

designed specifically for the YFZ450, deliver superb, class-leading traction.

steering and optimal rider movement.

comfort.

- Large-capacity, 2.6 gallon fuel tank ensures excellent range.
- Dual 30-watt multi-reflector Krypton headlights set back in the
front cowl add the perfect menacing appearance. LED taillight is tough, draws less current
and has an incorporated brake light for added convenience.

set with one hand.
