Iconic Heritage YZ Styling
- Class-leading four-stroke performance wrapped in iconic heritage YZ style, the YZ450F 50th Anniversary Edition draws its inspiration from 1990s-era Yamaha two-stroke motocrossers to honor 50 years of Yamaha off-road innovation.
Adjustable Traction Control & Launch Control
- The Traction Control System communicates wheel slip to the ECU, tuning the engine to maintain ideal rear wheel traction. Three levels can be selected: HIGH, LOW or OFF.
- The Launch Control System continues to implement traction control and features an rpm limiting setting, which can be adjusted in 500 rpm increments between 6,000 rpm and 11,000 rpm. Both systems are controlled through the Yamaha Power Tuner App.
Advanced Aluminum Bilateral Beam Frame
- The precisely tuned aluminum bilateral beam frame provides just the right amount of strength and flex for the perfect balance of stability and cornering performance
- The result is a better handling machine with lighter feel, more agility and increased traction allowing the rider to enter corners with greater confidence and more line choices.
Cutting-Edge Yamaha Power Tuner App
- Like having factory team support in your pocket, Yamaha's groundbreaking Power Tuner App allows owners to adjust air/fuel mixture and ignition timing to tune engine performance for track conditions, record race log information and monitor a range of data such as maintenance and system diagnosis, engine run time and more.
- Features include an intuitive “Simple Tuning” slide bar for quick engine mapping adjustments, Traction and Launch Control tuning, lap timer, along with helpful engine and suspension tuning guides. Best of all, it's free-of-charge.
Optimized Air Intake
- Optimized intake path draws air from under the side covers and seat allowing for a lighter, slimmer and more compact shroud area.
- This design allows the airbox cover to be lower and more narrow and radiator shrouds to be slimmer.
Slim, Compact Body & Exceptional Ergonomics
- The 2024 YZ450F's slim, flat, compact body eases rider movement for improved control, including seamless, rounded features from seat edges and side covers to the narrow fuel tank and front shroud.
- The rider triangle is also optimized for increased legroom between the seat and footpegs, with a carefully considered handlebar position for a more natural posture and enhanced rider comfort.
