There’s also genuine innovation in the 2013 Honda CRF450R: case in point, an all-new fork that uses air pressure in place of steel springs to save weight, create space for an entirely new and larger, more sophisticated 32mm cartridge damper piston, and deliver unmatched front-end feel and responsiveness. In short, this innovation resets the boundaries of conventional suspension technology, and this chassis has been purpose-built around this design to achieve maximum benefit. This innovative 2013 Honda CRF450R fork is matched with a new Pro-Link® rear shock that is shorter and resides lower than ever in an aluminum frame completely redesigned for the express purpose of lowering the bike’s center of gravity (CG) and enhancing handling.

The 2013 Yamaha YZ450F ‘s cylinder is offset so the connecting rod is vertical at the moment of greatest combustion force, minimizing piston friction against the cylinder wall that could rob power. That means quicker response.

The 4-titanium valve cylinder head is matched to a newly re calibrated fuel injection system that provides superb low-to-mid-rpm power feeling. Instantly adapts to changing air/fuel mixtures depending on altitude and temperature, for an engine that delivers no matter what conditions.

The aluminum double “S” bend Bilateral Beam frame on the 2013 Yamaha YZ450F provides a superb rigidity balance and, with new front and rear suspension settings, provides unmatched lightweight handling and cornering. Combined with the mass centralization provided by the engine, 2013 Yamaha YZ450F is a formidable, well-tuned package.

Accessory GYTR® Power Tuner for the 2013 Yamaha YZ450F lets bike tuners adjust air/fuel mixture and ignition timing maps to match engine performance characteristics to the rider and track conditions.

2013 Yamaha YZ450F Engine Specs

• The rearward-slanted engine allows for straight intake and exhaust ports, creating the most direct path for airflow into the fuel-injected engine for incredible performance.
• The YZ450F uses a battery-less fuel injection system with a 12-hole injector for superb fuel atomization. The 44mm Keihin® throttle body is designed for easy starting, with an integrated cold start and idle speed adjustment knob. Yamaha FI provides optimal air/fuel mixtures in all altitudes and wide range of temperatures for outstanding throttle response.
• Fuel injection settings (mapping for injection and advance) offer smooth, controllable engine response in the low-to-mid-rpm range.
• 14 volt/110W high output generator powers the battery-less fuel injection system.
• 4-titanium valve cylinder head with a “pent-roof” design combustion chamber provides excellent combustion efficiency and unequalled power output.
• The big 97.0mm bore and short 60.8mm stroke, along with a high 12.5:1 compression ratio, create a combustion chamber that delivers really impressive power.
• The air filter case is up front, helping to keep dirt and dust kicked up from the rear tire away from the intake system.
• “Tornado-style” exhaust header with resonator efficiently scavenges exhaust gasses and helps the engine achieve its exceptional low-to-mid-rpm torque characteristics, while the longer 94 dB muffler meets the latest noise standards.
• Clutch and transmission components are designed to give the rider positive and precise shifting feel.

 2013 Yamaha YZ450F Chassis/Suspension Specs

• The aluminum double “S” bend Bilateral Beam frame is crafted from a carefully chosen combination of forged and extruded aluminum, 16 components in all, for the right rigidity balance and light weight. A very symmetrical chassis design promotes nimble handling, letting riders enter and exit corners as quickly as possible to put the competition behind them.
• Skid plate is constructed from tough polypropylene for great protection and low weight.
• The swingarm and rear shock are designed, with the shock mounted along the central axis of the frame, taking advantage of the space not needed for a traditionally configured engine’s airbox. This optimized combination delivers exceptionally linear performance for excellent bump absorption and awesome cornering ability.
• The KYB® Speed Sensitive front fork has excellent feel and shock absorption.
• KYB® rear shock includes a large capacity piggyback reservoir and 50mm piston for consistent damping control.
• Front and rear suspension settings and valving deliver exceptionally smooth suspension performance.
• Dunlop® Geomax® MX51 tires provide great all-round traction.
• Fuel tank is positioned underneath the seat, contributing to the centralized mass. The seat is long and flat to allow free rider movement, and has new seat foam material for an excellent cushion feel.
• The triple clamps have 22mm offset for unequalled cornering performance. The tapered aluminum handlebars are 4-way adjustable to accommodate a wide range of riders.
• The front and rear fenders, along with the number plate, side cover and front fork protector have been designed for an aggressive look. The bike’s minimalistic design accentuates its handling character. A minimum of plastic means the lightweight aluminum frame can be exposed for an enhanced performance look.
• Seat foam material has an excellent cushion feel.
• Both color options feature rich-looking black rims and a gold-color drive chain.
• Fuel pump is small and lightweight, as is the compact transistor ignition unit.
• Riders have a choice of two color options: Team Yamaha Blue/ White or White/Red.
