Bridgestone Tires Dubai PricesThe YFZ450 was a sport-designed chassis with a high-performance, lightweight, five-valve, DOHC engine derived from the YFZ450 motocross bike. Uberhaus Tub And Shower Faucet InstallationPrevious to the YFZ’s release, racers and serious sport enthusiasts were left to build very expensive, highly modified Honda 250R-based quads. 35 Bogger Tires For SaleThe YFZ450 remained virtually unchanged for its production run from 2004–2009, seeing nothing more than a few small improvements to the swingarm and electrical system.

As revolutionary as that first YFZ450 was, we all know that the OEMs leave plenty of room for aftermarket improvements. 1. FREE CAM TIMING The first setup trick for the Yamaha actually has nothing to do with the aftermarket at all. In order to pass emissions and provide a mellower, trail-friendly power curve, early YFZ450s ATV came stock with the cam timing retarded from the factory. To achieve the YZF450’s dirt bike cam timing, merely advance the exhaust cam one tooth; this creates a snappier, harder-hitting power that is more track- and dune-friendly. The best part is that it doesn’t cost a penny. 2. GET A SLIP-ON When looking for a performance boost out of your YFZ, the first purchase should be a better-flowing performance exhaust system. With the YFZ’s stock titanium headpipe, even a slip-on can yield great performance gains with the proper jetting. Most aftermarket exhausts will come with jetting or specs; if not, we have found great success with the NVCQ needle from a 2004 YZF450 dirt bike, with a 175 main jet and a 48 pilot.

This, and most other jettings, will provide optimum results with the air-box lid removed. 3. INCREASE FILTER AREA The stock air-filter system design can be greatly improved with a bolt-in flange and clamp-on-style filter. The Pro Design Pro Flow setup uses an aluminum flange that you bolt into your air box and then a larger filter that uses a better-sealing clamp on a rubber flange. The Pro Flow filter is available with either a K&N or foam filter to fit your preference. This larger filter design flows more air, takes longer to clog up and has an impermeable seal to the airbox compared to the stock foam press-type filter. This setup is a must with the extra exposure to the elements caused by running with the airbox lid removed. 4. BELLY UP TO THE BARS The later-model YFZs came stock with a comfortable-bend Pro Taper handlebar. Getting a strong pair of handlebars with a bend that is comfortable to you can make all the difference in how a bike feels or rides. Pro Taper, Renthal and a laundry list of other companies sell 1 1/8-inch fat bars in a variety of bends for less than a hundred bucks.

If a budget is not part of your equation, Fasst Company’s Flexx handlebar system incorporates shock-absorbing elastomers into their bars to help keep arm pump at bay. Also, a Honda thumb throttle and front-brake master cylinder provide a better feel. 5. IMPROVING THE SUSPENSION The stock suspension is more than adequate for the average ATV trail rider or duner. If your ATV is going to be used for any type of racing, or even very aggressive riding, it will clearly benefit from an aftermarket set of A-arms. For MX, flat-track and desert racing, aftermarket A-arms will be 2–3 inches wider than stock, bringing the overall width of the YFZ out to the 50-inch-wide class limitation. The wider platform is more stable and houses longer shocks to provide more travel. Cross-country and woods racers will use similar A-arms for the longer shocks yet with the stock width to keep the bike skinny enough to ride in the tight stuff. There are many shock companies offering custom-built shocks that feature high- and low-speed compression adjustment and rebound adjustment.

Elka and Race Tech both build conventional, coil-over, spring-type shocks, which have all the external adjustments, and you can change the spring rate by swapping out the springs themselves. Fox Racing Shox uses a completely different air-style shock. The Fox Evol Floats can be fully tuned to rider and vehicle weight with external adjustments and two different adjustable air chambers. The rider can adjust ride height, body roll and compression beyond the capabilities of the clickers by merely adding air via the supplied hand pump. 6. WIDER IS BETTER With the front end widened, you will want the rear end to match as well. Durablue, Lone Star and RPM all sell lifetime-warranty axles that are adjustable from stock to 4-plus inches over stock. Experimenting with a slightly narrower setting in the rear will gain traction compared to the wider, more stable full-width settings. Another problem area on the YFZ axle is the stock lock nut. All aftermarket YFZ axles are supplied with a more positive locking nut that is more user-friendly than the stocker.

7. WHEELS AND TIRES The stock tires on the YFZ are your typical lightweight, 20-inch, all-around radial tire. If you intend to motocross your YFZ, you will need to get an 18-inch tire setup with beadlocks in the rear at the very minimum. DWT has a new kit available called “Champion in a Box”; it is truly a one-stop-shop product for your entire wheel and tire needs. With one part number, you can purchase beadlock rear rims, reinforced fronts and a complete set of DWT’s new rubbers. 8. NERFS AND HEEL POCKETS Protection is also important; a good set of pro-peg-style nerf bars and a bumper does as much for the appearance as it does to protect it. Many companies have developed nerf bars that include a super-aggressive footpeg, as well as beefy, oversized heel guards all in one setup. 9. DAMPEN THE STEERING Any sport quad will benefit from a good steering damper, and the YFZ is no exception. Originally adapted from the street-bike scene, there are now close to 10 different companies selling ATV steering stabilizers or dampers.
