NEW BIKES

2014 YAMAHA YZ450F
SPECIFICATIONS
2014 Yamaha YZ450F
>(Above) The gas cap is now hidden under the
front part of the seat, giving the rider a supersmooth and uninterrupted flat surface. A part
of the seat has to be removed to get to the cap
(off-roaders won't like that but capacity has
been bumped up to two gallons). You can ride
the YZ without the vent tube.
(Left) It's now a two-step, instead of four, process to access the air filter.

>With the new
frame, the headpipe
is moved back 10mm
for improved frontwheel weight bias.
Suspension has new
settings.

the production YZ450F now
has a wrap-around exhaust
pipe, which prevents the
muffler from hanging out so
far in the back and helps keep
weight more centralized for
improved handling.
