Yamaha YZ450FX 2017 Parts & Accessories

First introduced in 2016, the Yamaha YZ450FX is a high-performance cross-country competition motorcycle specifically engineered for closed-course off-road racing, GNCC, and hare scrambles. Built as a direct bridge between the YZ450F motocrosser and the WR450F trail machine, the YZ450FX features Yamaha's iconic rearward-slanted cylinder engine layout housed in a lightweight bilateral beam aluminum frame. It pairs aggressive MX-level power with off-road competition essentials, including a wide-ratio 5-speed transmission, off-road suspension valving, an 18-inch rear wheel, side stand, push-button electric start, and wireless ECU engine mapping via Yamaha's Power Tuner App.
