Official new yfz features!!!!
The lightest, most powerful ATV ever, winner of just about every magazine shootout and 2004 GNCC and GNC Championships, is back and even more unstoppable than before.
* In honor of our favorite multi-time GNCC Champion, the Bill Ballance Edition YFZ450 gets a front grab bar, side nerf bars and a special graphics package that includes his signature.
* Most powerful, industry-exclusive, five-titanium-valve engine and 350-pound dry weight give the YFZ450 the best power-to-weight ratio of any ATV ever produced.
* Ultra-compact, lightweight, high-tensile steel frame with fully adjustable suspension.
* YFZ450 is also the best handling race-bred ATV ever produced.
* The YFZ450 comes standard with pushbutton electric starting, a convenient flip-type parking brake and suspension calibrated for performance.
* A longer steering stem, new handlebars, a thicker seat and longer-travel rear suspension make riding hard not all that hard at all.
New for 2006:
* Even more performance: a larger, more powerful, 449cc engine, revised carburetion, head design and ignition timing produce even more of an excellent thing—and an increased-capacity radiator keeps it cool.
* New, titanium heat shield is super light and strong.
* New larger-capacity radiator is optimally mounted in the frame to guard against damage.
* More comfort: a longer steering stem, new handlebars and a thicker seat make the YFZ450 nice to ride for a long time.
* Longer travel out back means an excellent ride and handling.
* Aluminum grab bars are light and strong.
* New, eccentric chain adjuster mechanism simplifies that job, and a new, twin-piston rear brake caliper provides strong, controllable rear braking.
* New tires provide excellent traction, handling and ride quality.
* New LED taillight is bright, tough and draws less current.
Engine:
* Liquid-cooled, 449cc, five-valve, DOHC, four-stroke with titanium valves features 95mm bore and 63.4mm stroke for massive power with high over-rev capacity and crisp, linear throttle response.
* Reliable, pushbutton electric start in any gear adds extra convenience.
* High performance 39mm Keihin FCR flat-slide carburetor with throttle position sensor (TPS) delivers ultra-precise fuel/air mixing and crisp throttle response.
* Additional weight-saving engine features include: magnesium cylinder head cover and right side crankcase cover; small-design cam chain tensioner and oil pump; aluminum oil hose; and light CDI ignition unit.
* Trick, works-style clutch lever features oversize barrel adjuster for easy, no tool adjustability of lever/cable play.
* Dry sump engine carries oil in an aluminum tank directly in front of the engine for excellent cooling and optimal protection from rocks or mud.
* DC ignition system delivers ultra-precise spark and 3D timing for faster, stronger engine response during hard acceleration.
* High-performance stainless steel exhaust header is mated to a USFS-approved spark arrestor.
* Smooth-shifting YZ-spec ratchet-type five-speed transmission and heavy-duty clutch deliver all that power to the rear tires with maximum efficiency.
* Large capacity airbox features no-tool access to the oiled dual foam filter for easy maintenance.
* Ignition coil is integrated into the spark plug cap; extremely light and compact.
Chassis/Suspension:
* Independent aluminum upper A-arm front suspension features fully adjustable competition-spec Kayaba piggyback shocks with 9.1 inches of travel and separate adjusters for preload, rebound and compression damping.
* New rear suspension system is YZ linkage-type, controlled by a fully adjustable Showa shock with 10.6 inches of travel and separate adjusters for preload, rebound and compression damping.
* Ultra-rigid cast aluminum swingarm reduces weight and ensures optimal suspension action.
* Numerous aluminum components—including the swingarm, upper A-arms, oil tank and wheels—help keep overall dry weight down to a paltry 350 pounds.
* Controlled Fill cast aluminum subframe is light and super-strong
* Lightweight front and rear master cylinders, combined with twin 160mm front discs with twin-piston calipers and single 200mm rear disc, deliver incredible stopping power with progressive control and feel.
* New high-performance 21 x 7R-10 front and 20 x 10R-9 rear Dunlop radials, designed specifically for the YFZ450, deliver superb, class-leading traction.
* Long, low and narrow YZ-style seat enhances the quick, balanced steering and optimal rider movement.
Additional Features:
* Rugged 45mm-wide serrated footrests provide excellent grip and rider comfort.
* Large-capacity, 2.6 gallon fuel tank ensures excellent range.
* Dual 30-watt multireflector halogen headlights set back in the front cowl add the perfect menacing appearance. Taillight has an incorporated brake light for added convenience.
* Easy-to-use, toggle link-type handlebar-mounted parking brake can be set with one hand.
Man thats sweet this bike is so much better, makes me want to go out and get one!
