Yamaha's ultimate enduro, the WR450F provides an unmatched level of performance and control for all types of challenging terrain.
Equipped with Yamaha's potent 450cc four-stroke engine, compact aluminium chassis and renowned KYB suspension developed directly from the class-dominating YZ450F motocrosser, the WR450F is an off-road weapon that's easy to ride fast, extremely capable in technical situations, with the versatility to tackle a wide range of off-road conditions.
Note that Australian WRF models are all supplied in full ADR spec to allow full road registration including indicators, mirrors and horn. A free Off-Road Kit designed for closed course competition use is supplied with each bike. The kit includes brushguards, front fender and lightweight rear light and tail section.
The aluminium bilateral beam frame has WR450F-specific engine mounts to produce the right combination 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 trails with greater confidence.
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 left 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.
The WR450F's advanced compact 4-stroke engine is higher revving and produces broad power across the entire rev range. Additionally, ECU settings are tailored to suit the specific needs of trail riding and enduro competition.
WR450F features enduro-developed components including 7.4 litre fuel capacity with fuel, multi-function meter with fuel and engine warning lights, 18-inch rear wheel, composite engine guard, sealed O-ring chain and a folding aluminium kickstand. The Australian delivered model comes fully ADR compliant with indicators, rear view mirrors, handguards and more.
WR450F's front fork features a hand operated compression clicker for simple, toolless adjustments. Front fork and rear shock settings are optimised for enduro competition. A 10mm lower seat height than the YZ450F provides a lower centre of gravity for improved low-speed manoeuvrability.
